037 -- [Voice | Action]
[With Naruto MIA (and if he's being experimented on, he hopes his pal fries the Rogues good in the process), Shikamaru can't afford to cut out at the convenience store, much as he wants to. He takes the morning shift, debating whether he should look into hiring more people again, before finding his journal returned to him halfway in.
Yeah, returned. Don't ask. ...it got eaten, okay. Don't ask.
Later in the day, when he's off, he decides to mark the occasion.]
[Voice]
Congratulations, Luceti. As of today, it's been a year since TERRACE, and so a year since this village's seen a draft. They've been happening less and less frequently, but that's a record even for us. [Which is a good thing, if you can't tell from how pleased he sounds.]
Speaking about misconceptions... Let's play a game. Pretend I'm a New Feather here, freshly arrived and working on the half-naked problem. A couple dozen people have explained the thing about the wings, don't worry, but I still have no idea how I got here, or where 'here' is.
How do you explain the situation? What's the first thing you tell me about the world, or the Malnosso? If you don't feel comfortable saying it on the journals, you can find me at the playground if you want to say it in person. Any of you who've been here for less than two years, I'd be interested in your response especially.
[/end]
[True to his word, Shikamaru will be at the playground all afternoon, hogging the roundabout while school's still in session and begrudgingly giving it up when the kids are out for a spot in the sand. He'll have his journal and a separate notepad with him, scribbling in both.
When the sun goes down, he'll hang out for a little while longer for latecomers before calling it a day and going to the bar. He has no intention of getting sloshed, but he'll stick around long enough to have some fun and knock back more than a few.]

Ummm...Well, it's a sphere, that contains a certain set of abilities...and outfit. Oooh, it's so much easier to show.
[Let's try another way.] One I have here is called Thief, and of course it comes with the ability to steal, but not just money. Items, and time. [Sometimes sanity.] The outfit that comes with it makes sure you can move easily and quickly so if we want we can run from fiends, or ambush them.
[...Yuna or Paine could explain this so much better...]

There's one for black magic, white magic, longsword, gun, alchemy, animals...and a few more.

[He pulls at his own collar, to highlight what he means.]
I assume you have something like that.

Normal clothes...well, they're good for fitting in where you live, but dresspheres...Only one kid in Spira knows how to make them. And dresspheres aren't just the clothes, it's the magic, and abilities that come with them.
[And she doesn't know any pair of clothes that come with a trained monkey.]
