014 -- [Voice || Action] AU Event
[The sun's just starting to set when Shikamaru makes his way out of the woods, back from his whatever mallynappings are in this AU unintentional vacation out there. What exactly happened is still blurry (disturbing enough when you have an eidetic memory), but hey. He came back from it at least. Not everyone does that.
Not wanting to draw much attention to himself, and unsure of how long he was even gone, Shikamaru avoids running into anybody on his way to House 19, climbing up a tree and into his room through a window instead of using the door. Only then does he open his journal, looking to get caught up on things-]
[Accidental Voice]
Oi, what happened to all of my shit?
[Seems like he missed a lot after all, judging from the empty room.
Much later, after getting back up to speed on things, he throws up a filter.]
[Filtered to fellow Ninja Gang members || 100% Unhackable]
Sound off if you're still among the living.
[He's joking. He thinks half of you are too stupid to live sometimes, especially with Raph leading them, but he doesn't mean it seriously.
Usually.]
[Once that's taken care of and he's checked in with everyone else (he'll stop by Noel's in particular, if he doesn't talk to her over the journals first. Sanji's house is a stop along the way too now so he can pick up his stuff, as Chouji apparently found it and brought it over there), it's time for serious gang business. Loitering. In absence of a gas station, the grocery store is where it's at. Oh, and maybe he'll actually step inside and stock some shelves/do his job while he's at it too. That might be good.
...even if he's feeling just a little weird now.]
[OOC NOT!MALLYNAP EFFECT NOTE:
Since half of the reason I had Shikamaru mallynapped in the first place was because I wanted to do something with him when I brought him back, I'm still going with my original plan. Shikamaru's been brought back with a strange need to prank people, and he'll be ninja-ing his way about it for the next few days. They won't all be so obvious - and some might even take days/weeks after the event before they're triggered and actually go off. Just leave me a note in your tag somewhere or PM if you want your character to be pranked at some point and we can work out the details over AIM or PM. I'll only have him prank your character if you state as such. o>]

[Action]
Shikamaru! [In a cliched manner, just seeing him alive and well makes her happy beyond belief. It had been so long--she thought he'd been--...well, nevermind that. In the moment, she throws her arms around him. Noel's been worried sick about you, boy. B|]
[Action] 1/2
And sigh. Just accepting it. It's troublesome - it's not like he's a little kid anymore or anything - but well...]
[Action]
Hey. Long time no see, huh?
[Action]
But hey, she won't cling to you forever. After a few moments, she'll let him go, looking up at him.
stop being taller than her] I was so worried about you! Are you okay!? You're not hurt, are you? [...and actually--] Does your father know you're back?[Action]
[Action]
[Action]
He just doesn't show it. So it's weird now.] I didn't mean to worry him either. Heh... it's troublesome isn't it?
[Action]
You're safe now... and that's all that matters.
[Action]
It's a statement that has a double meaning, however; the closest he'll come to saying just how much that scares him. Shikamaru won't say it to anyone else, not even Chouji. He likes to think that he's not even admitting it now, not wanting to make such a big deal out of it, so he brushes it off with a casual tone and a small grin.]
So that's a good thing, at least.
[Action]
Nothing, huh? That sounds exactly like what happened to Nu when she was in your shoes, back then... [...though when she came back, there was something different about her. Thinking back on that, she gives Shikamaru a double-take. He looks fine. He talks the same. He acts as she'd always known him to act, yet when she thinks back to her twin she can't help but get the a bad feeling about this...]
...are you sure you're okay? [She can't help but let those words come out; it's not that she wants to worry him, but she's already worried enough to just blurt it out.]
[Action]
Well. Maybe...
[Action]
Maybe?
[Action]
[He doesn't quite have it in him to prank you, Noel. Trolling, now. That's different.]
[Action]
I-If you're feeling well, there's no reason for you to skip work!
[Action]
I could use the time to recover from the emotional trauma. [Since he's not actually due into work for another hour or two, he goes ahead and flops himself backwards onto a nearby couch.] It was such a shock to my system. I'll need to see at least three different doctors.
[Action]
...he so is.]
I don't think Miss Litchi is too far away. Do you want me to go get her?
[Action]
No, no, it can wait. It's too troublesome to just drop that on her like that, you know?
[Action] 1/2
trollel?]No, I insist, Shikamaru. [...]
[Action]
[Action]
Yeah, I'm fine.
[Action]
Good.
[Action]
...so have you been okay?
[Action]
I've been fine. You know how it is--same old, same old. [...] Actually, the festival is only a few days away from now.
[Action]
Aa, right. Isamu mentioned something about that. I think dad was talking about going this year too.
[Or not, actually. He's just curious for her reaction to it.]
[Action]
He did? [Not that he never shows up, but Noel knows he's been scarce about it for a few years now.] I guess something about this year must have piqued his interest. You're going, too, right?
