[Filtered to Konoha Shinobi and Temari || 100% Unhackable]

Meeting tonight, at sundown. [What about goes without saying - most of them should know already.] Fourth floor's kitchen. Try not to pull a Kakashi.

[And thus starts off the long to-do-list of Shikamaru's day. The filter goes up in the morning, giving - hopefully - everyone time to see it.

He's decided he needs to talk to Naruto before then. On his way out the building he'll stop by his apartment, or send another filter off to him if he's not around. With everything going on he would be surprised. After he's tracked him down, it's off to the other side of the village to find Tony Stark at his casa, to hand over a project he's been working on for the last several nights. Playing delivery boy again, ugh. No notice this time, though. He's acting like a functional human being again, but he's not up for the sarcastic banter. Once he's done there, it's over to the school to find Katara in the thirty minute window he has after classes let out. Apologies are an order.

Specific things attended to... wow, without Masaomi around this week, he has a lot of time on his hands, huh. Well okay. He goes off to the forest with a bag of coconuts of all things and lines them up at head level when he finds a good spot to sit them for tanto practice - or more precisely: strength training. He's never used his short sword much. The one time he did, he wasn't strong enough with it to do as he intended, so he should work on that now.

And okay, surely by then the sun will be going down... or okay, nope. With a few hours to kill, somehow he winds up at the Seventh Heaven restaurant. In part because he figures it could be a good place to drop off some of the coconuts, and also because he realizes on the way over he hasn't actually eaten yet. Or done much of anything this past week, besides getting Asuma up to speed about Luceti, or working on various projects.

Sooo. Might be nodding off there at the restaurant. Might be napping after he eats, if he doesn't get kicked out for it. SITTING DOWN WAS A TERRIBLE IDEA. Fine, he'll pose a random pointless question to the masses, maybe that'll keep him occupied.]

[Voice]

Wonder why they call this place Luceti. Seems like a dumb name. Does it even mean anything?

[She'll be turning the tables on you, Shikamaru. Just you wait.

Oh, the waiting's already over.]

Is this your way of making sure I remain single for the rest of my life just like you? -By scaring my boyfriend?

Hell no. I've known this day would come for a while.

You realizing you're going to be single forever? [Yeah, it's her turn to troll.]

A few years after you isn't forever.

[After trolling her and then saying she's gonna be single, yeah that doesn't sit well with Ino here.]

You're really pushing it this time, Shikamaru.

C'mon, I meant me.

[Give him some credit, even exhausted he knows not to piss her off.]

Then, it's good to know you still don't want to piss me off.

[There we go~]

They don't call me a genius for nothing.

[Joking aside now:] So this guy of yours. Do I get to actually meet him?

Yeah, sure. I mean it's not like I can hide him from you. Do you want a formal meet-up or...? [You know, she'll drag him and be all "This is Shikamaru, my lazy ass teammate!"]

Whatever's easiest. If I run into him somewhere first, I'll say hello.

So, I don't have the honors of actually introducing you?

[He shrugs as if o say 'up to you'. She is the boss, after all.]

I'll take that as "Please, Ino, introduce me to your amazing boyfriend!" [There should be an evil laugh that goes here, but she's kind enough not to do it.]

You said it, not me.

You were practically screaming it.

'Screaming'.

Like a little girl.

We need to get your hearing checked, woman.

Or your vocal chords because that shrill is seriously deafening.

How do you listen to yourself, I wonder...

I'm wondering the same thing about you. [See how this argument leads nowhere? lmao]

[They've known each other for too long. This reminds him of all the bickering in their genin days.]

You'd think you'd have better things to concern yourself with.

[ALL THE BICKERING.]

I think you forget, Shikamaru, that I like knowing about everything about people dear to me.

Ew, Ino. That's gross.

Get your dirty mind out of the gutter.
