[Video]
[The feed kicks on to a counter in the convenience store, height adjusting a split second after as if the person holding the journal realized he needs to hold it higher if anyone is going to see what's on the counter.
Correction made, the journal reveals a SLURPEE MACHINE, clean and ready to go with cups stacked to the side. The labels of the four flavors it offers are clearly displayed, from left to right: Mountain Dew, Blue Raspberry, Orange, and Dr. Pepper.
After holding it there for a good thirty seconds, Shikamaru turns his journal back to himself, straight-faced as he checks to make sure he got all the important bits shown. When it's confirmed, he focuses back on the feed itself with a grin.]
You're welcome.

[Shikamaru spends most of his day in the convenience store, prideful over the new working addition. Less so over what to do about the fresh-to-go items the store should be offering. At least he was able to get a Shift so the refrigerated items in the store self-replenish, and one for the slurpee machine too. The rest he'll have to figure out.
When evening comes along, Shikamaru goes into the tunnels to work more on the computer in there. After that, he detours for the bar instead of going home. Both of his roommates/two of his best friends are gone on a mission, so it's not like anyone will miss him. The least tidy out of the three of them, the apartment will be a mess when they get back so might as well take one day off from dirtying it up further. Besides, he has some items to drop off for Buffy anyways.
He'll just have a couple drinks after (no repeat of that other time) and go home.]

That's two for four. Since I already know the Mountain Dew is a hit.
[And speaking of that, he slides another cup at Cilan. Guess what's up next?]
action
My, you sound quite confident of that... [Nothing wrong with that, of course. Confidence is good to have.] It's becoming a taste with high expectations, I'd even say.
action
I might be building it up too much, I'll admit. But if all else fails, it's a hit with me. I can call it a good investment because of that.
action
[Lemon and lime, from what he can tell--and when he says "very sweet", he means it. He has a feeling that a lot of sugar was used in the original soda flavor... ^^;;]
action
Takes getting used to, huh? Took me a while to taste past the sugar.

[Shikamaru ducks his head, with a chuckle.]
Wanna move on to the next one, or dare I ask a rating this soon?
action
[It could easily go either way once someone is more used to the taste.]
action
[SULKING...]
action
Like I said, I don't think my current score isn't permanent yet and has the potential to have a higher score, perhaps once I've grown a little more used to this particular flavor. [Then again it could also go the other way if he still can't get past the sugar considering this is the same guy who could figure out how much flavoring was used when mixed with the ice last time but uh let's not point that out...]
action
Careful. You'll get me sending you off with a pack of the soda before you leave, saying it like that.
[Joking. He pulls the empty cup back and slides the next flavor over. Orange, this time!]
