035 -- [action | voice]
[It's an antsy day, in an antsy week. Every time he gets back from a mission, lately, it feels like that. He's had a project in the mountains the last several days, and with the news from CJ last night, Shikamaru can think of a lot of other things he'd rather be doing. But with Korra on a mission, he'd feel bad for ducking out of work. At least he wasn't here for the experiment, or worse: his birthday.
So he can be found at the convenience store until late afternoon, messing around with a digital camera. He got it last December as a Christmas present from Precis, but he actually hasn't practiced with it any until now. Sorry if you are SUDDENLY BLINDED by the flash feature he didn't know was there, he didn't mean it.
Unless you're Naruto or Masaomi. If you're Naruto or Masaomi, he's doing it on purpose because he's an ass and this is what true friendship is built on.
Later in the day, before work gets out, he'll crack open his journal to make a post. He's been thinking about this for the last week, reading up and practicing how to make asphalt. It's not as difficult as he would've though, and he thinks he has it down now.]
[Voice]
Hey, Luceti. It's kind of late in the year for it, but the weather's been dry enough... So let's pave the roads. Anyone up for it?
[This might be ill-timed what with recent news, but hey. It doesn't hurt to gauge interest. There are a lot of other things he needs to take care of today, however, so he starts setting up some filters too.]
[Filtered to Cilan | Private]
Yo, Cilan. I got a job proposition for you.
[Filtered to Makie | Private]
...where the hell do you even live. I was gonna go visit you, but I forgot how much walking that takes when you don't know where you're going.
[Filtered to Gai Tsutsugami | Private]
[Flat, but not caustic.] It been enough time for you?
[Filtered to Haruno Sakura | Private]
[A string of scattered dots shows up in the filter before any words do, tappings of a pen. The message itself, when it shows up is anonymous. The handwriting is disguised and the picture in the journal window covered up to hide the identity of the writer. Inserted are a series of numbers: coordinates Sakura could figure out in her sleep.]
Come to the following coordinates at 1900 hours. Uzumaki Naruto is going to test the barrier, and he may need medical assistance afterwards.
(ooc: if enough people are interested in the road project, I'll make an ooc post organizing things for it after the House of M plot is done. right now this is testing the waters. 8|a)

...it's a funny picture. Standing over by the front counter, Shikamaru can be found snickering fondly to himself at the camera in his hands.]
actionnnn
Hey, Shikamaru. [Wait. She shows him her opened candy bar too a sizable chunk DEFINITELY missing OOPS but he already knows because he has the evidence in his camera.]
I got sort of hungry, sorry.
actionnnn
[When all but the open candy bar are bagged, he pulls the bag off the hook and holds it open for her.]
You can toss that one in, though.
actionnnn
She doesn't toss it in and looks at it with an awkward smile.] Uh, I'll hold onto it, thanks.
[And take another bite, nomnom]
So you just hang out to help people bag their candy bars? And --
[Yoink. Taking that camera while he's busy holding her bag.] Take pictures?
Re: actionnnn
The screen might've dimmed a little, but it's still displaying the last picture he took, so she might notice herself off in the corner of the frame.]
It was something to do. It'd be a lot busier if we had money to exchange hands, but since we don't I can afford to goof off like this once in a while.
Re: actionnnn
She blushes and presses a bunch of buttons to try and delete it. Beep beep beep. ALL THE BUTTONS. She tries to do it quickly and ninja-like but things are not working out well for her.
She's probably changing all his settings to some weird stuff. Also, she's getting more irritated the longer the picture stays on the screen.]
If you wanted a picture you could have asked, ya know! [BEEP BEEP.]
actionnnn
[TRYING TO TAKE IT BACK FROM HER. HE NEEDS THAT FOR LATER.]
actionnnn
I won't!
[Hopefully. Okay, well, since she doesn't know how to delete she'll take a new one.
Of Shikamaru reaching for his camera and dat face. FLASH.]
actionnnn
What the heck was that for?!
actionnnn
It's like taking a picture for her genin registration all over again.
Probably a lot worse having it right in your face though. If she knew he was doing it to Naruto, she would't feel as bad.]
I was taking a picture of you too, ya know!
[And now it's showing up on the screen.
Pft. Okay, they're even. Now she's the one laughing a bit and holding it out for him to see.]
actionnnn
You're supposed to stand back when you do those...
actionnnn
Alright. What about this?
actionnnn
That wasn't permission to take another one!
actionnnn
Where do you get one of these?
[It would be nice to have something to capture moments with Minato and Naruto and their other friends.]
actionnnn
actionnnn
I guess I could just check the store and see if they have it. They have everything, it seems like. Even the clothes store had everything I needed to get for Naruto and Minato.
Who gave it to you?
actionnnn
actionnnn
But it's happened. The only way to look at it past that is--]
She could come back.
Then I can ask her where she got it since you can't tell me. [But she would bet it's at the store and she's probably going to look for it there.]
actionnnn
actionnnn
What's her name?
actionnnn
actionnnn
actionnnn
We went on missions together. Important ones. Between the two of us, we were even able to accomplish something here as a result of that.
actionnnn
Something good, I hope.
actionnnn
[The one that recently lead to another section and locked rooms. That's where they opened the Classified door, and found Kallis Sal's remains.]
