Here's a question. If you're in hell and you get pissed off at somebody, where do you tell them to go to?
[In before Luceti.]
[Shikamaru's been a busy guy lately. There's been a lot of details to go over with the draft, as well as outlining strategies, and there's still more to come. A question un-battle related seemed like a good distraction.
But duty calls, and he can only put it off for so long.]
[Filtered to the Shifter Hunting Squad || 100% Unhackable]
In case I missed anyone at the meeting, we're getting in some practice tomorrow. Come prepared; we'll meet at the barracks around noon.
[/filter]
[...someone else is getting a more personal invite, though that's not going to be the only thing they discuss. He's put off talking to her long enough, as it is. So Temari, if you're home, there's an idiot knocking on your door again.]
[ooc: by the magic of bending time and space, anyone from the Shifter Hunting group on the draft will have met Shikamaru at the meeting at the barracks. Anyone who's seriously interested about being a reserve member is included in this too. I'll have a free-for-all log up later where the team can interact with each other for the first time, though that can also be assumed if you have no time to tag.]

... I wouldn't know where to start.
no subject
Even so, he can still understand why it has to be done.] But if we're doing this, we gotta start somewhere. I guess the first thing to ask is if this is going to be a problem when we have to work together.

... She's still pissed at him for avoiding her, though.]
no subject
Only if you start slacking off while you're reminiscing about the good times.
no subject
Yeah, looking away again. He's a coward and he knows it, but he wishes he had better reasons for it.
He's quick to react though.] Tch. Don't worry. If I start to feel my mind wandering, I'll just remind myself about how much I hate waiting for the Malnosso to fix the walls in my apartment.
no subject
Eh. Speaking of... sorry about that. [And by that, she means all of it.]
no subject
[There's a small grin.] Hard to imagine either one of us would've acted that differently under normal circumstances.
[...minus that last part of the experiment.]
no subject
[Pause.] Just makes me wish we were beating Malnosso ass out there instead of this Third Party.

It's not the first time I've been used as a pawn in someone else's war.
[That should ring a bell, Konoha.]
no subject
It might be helping their cause, but the way I see it, the guys we're fighting want to kill us anyways. If the Malnosso are throwing us out there without a choice, it's practically self-defense.
[A pause.] Only a little more organized, with the sadistic reminder that if we don't fight for them we're apt to starve to death at some point.
no subject
A pause.]
Look. About last week. I'm sorry it got all... [Insert helpless gesturing here.] ... Uhm. Weird?
[Words are hard, man.]
no subject
[Trailing off here to rub at the back of his head. He looks away again, fighting off a blush - because what is he? A girl?]
Don't worry about it. S'not like you meant for it to happen.
no subject
Are you- Shikamaru, is that a blush?
no subject
No. You just keep your apartment unreasonably warm.
