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 hard to miss the family resemblance there.]
[Action]
[Action]
True, but I'd say that's what makes him so endearing.
[Action]
[Action]
[She shrugs and leans against the counter.]
Care to try an experiment?
[Action]
[Action]
[It shouldn't. For once the barrier (and the mun) will do something nice.]
[Action]
All right. Fair warning though, I still haven't figured out how to get this flash off.
[Action]
[She takes a step back and faces him with a chipper smile, fingers raised in a peace-sign. If it works, she'd definitely rather do things the right way, and this was how Yuuna always posed for pictures so...]
[Action]
[Action]
How'd it come out? Am I blurry, or can you see me clearly?
[Action]
Not bad! A little blurry around the fingers, but it's better than most of the shots I've taken.
[Action]
[Wait. It worked? She gets a fairly excited look in her eye as she walks on over and tries to get a look.]
Show me, show me! I've never seen a photo of myself before!
[Action]
[He turns the screen towards her for her to see.]
[Action]
[She leans in, letting out a pleased little sound. It's not a bad picture, and she's never been terribly vain, so even with the blurry fingers it's a memory she'll hold onto.]
Electronic things and I don't mesh well. But that's neither really here nor there I suppose. The barrier must cancel that bit out. [A shrug, and then something comes back to her. She'd come here to get some things for the camping trip, but...there was something else. Something he'd been.
Oh, right! Roads.]
That reminds me. I saw your broadcast. A road?
[Action]
Yeah! I thought it might be something the village could do together.
[Action]
I think it'd be a fun project, really. Have you ever done anything like it before?
[Action]
Not unless you count practicing in the mountains. I read up on things, and figured out how to make a good mix. It'll hold sturdy when dried.
[Action]
[Because she's volunteering to help.]
[Action]
[Action]
[Action]
[Action]
[Action]
Do you have skills that would lend well to it?
[Action]
I'm stronger than a human with an eye for detail. I've built houses in the past, and I'm sure I can pick up anything else needed without difficulty. I learn quickly.
