033 -- [Action]

[In anticipation of a witch hunt, Shikamaru left the village a solid week or more ago for a spot he could wait things out and do as he liked. After John's report to the village, he trained with Twila's powers some and checked out the barrier. He never forgot that looming detail - that a deadline was approaching - but it wasn't the loudest though to linger in his mind.

"I've let your new attitude and wings slide, because we're friends. But it's starting to make you do things you wouldn't normally in a bad way. You should get it together."

It's troublesome but not untrue, which means that comes before anything else. Control is the name of the game here. Twila catered to his apathy, and while there's something nice about not feeling sad or anxious anymore, until they split ways he's going to be the one calling the shots. And after that week... he is for the most part, and ready to take care of things.]


[Since it's hard telling over the journals how much things settled in the village, so on June 9th he makes his way back on his very best behavior. Best. Maybe. PROVOKE HIM AND FIND OUT. He's still possessed by the start of the day, but in general, Shikamaru can be found attempting to mind himself while doing any of the following:

1. Observing people from high up places and making weirdly realistic shadow puppets to pass the time
2. Exploring the new parts of the tunnels
3. Searching out anyone he might have been an ass to, because he should make up for that 8|

One way or another he's back to normal by the end of the day, so people might find him in CH1 too after the fact.]

Let me guess. You know Buffy.
strangelyliteral: ([dark] why should i believe that)

[Oh, drat, was that her bitterness showing? Time to backtrack.] -- Well, yeah, it sounds like them too. What I've heard of them, anyway.
strangelyliteral: ([blonde] that was a joke right)

[personal profile] strangelyliteral 2013-07-11 04:47 pm (UTC)(link)
I wouldn't watch it.
strangelyliteral: ([blonde] that one looked interesting)

Depends on which Godzilla. Or so I've heard, anyway.

According to Andrew there was. I only knew of the one myself. Big giant lizard, partial to Japan. He had said that "we do not speak of the other." Whatever that means.

[She shrugs, then opens one of the doors to look inside.] ... Twila really doesn't like this.
strangelyliteral: ([red] the best ideas)

[personal profile] strangelyliteral 2013-07-14 01:06 pm (UTC)(link)
Better giant lizard monsters than giant bunny monsters.

{She frowns at the room.] They really cleaned out the place, huh?
strangelyliteral: ([blonde] that one looked interesting)

What kind of supplies?
strangelyliteral: ([blonde] bedroom eyes)

[personal profile] strangelyliteral 2013-07-17 03:21 pm (UTC)(link)
But not your ordinary, connect to the world wide web sort of laptops?

[Huh. She was certain Buffy never mentioned that one.]

Does it really work?
strangelyliteral: ([dark] looking up)

[personal profile] strangelyliteral 2013-07-19 02:33 am (UTC)(link)
There's no real way to test it though, is there?
strangelyliteral: ([blonde] can't win them all)

[personal profile] strangelyliteral 2013-07-21 10:49 am (UTC)(link)
Maybe they just aren't saying anything. I mean, why would they? We're the ones stuck in the bubble.
strangelyliteral: ([blonde] alert)

[personal profile] strangelyliteral 2013-07-23 08:52 pm (UTC)(link)
Oh? And how did that go?
strangelyliteral: ([dark] this is how it works)

[personal profile] strangelyliteral 2013-07-23 09:28 pm (UTC)(link)
Well, if it blew up in their faces, how successful does that actually make it?
