[It is a rare thing to catch Shikamaru out of bed before noon, much less wandering around the western side of Luceti's forest when it's so freaking cold out.

Then again, it's not every day that he's been told that there's a possibility the village might find itself resembling some kid's aquarium If Things Do Not Go As Planned even if we ooc-ly know

Why do you want to dig holes?

[its_troublesome]

I want to dig a hole. And there's no point in saying why unless I think it can be done.

[He chose his words carefully, mindful of the different type of audiences the journals get. He's no more eager to let the Malnosso know what it is he's thinking of then he is in getting the villager's hopes up over a plan that will fail.]

[floralprophecy]

For gardening?

[its_troublesome]

Not unless you want to harvest dead bodies, no.

[On this fine Sunday afternoon when her friends are being picked up to go to places Unknown to fight fiends Unnumbered, Katara is... just now waking up. She was never much of a morning person and had hardly slept the night before. She's in the kitchen now, mechanically making breakfast because she knows she needs to eat, Sanji and Ginko would be so disappointed if she didn't eat...]

[He'll feel bad for interrupting your breakfast. But as it is - knock, knock at the door.]

[It is a delicious breakfast of cereal. She is busy pouring the milk in the bowl, so she just shouts out:] Come in!

[After all, they've more friends than enemies here and if it's someone who wants to hurt her she'll deal with it just as well from the kitchen as she would by opening the front door.]

[It could be someone in a henge - okay, he has to shut that part of his brain off for now. Which is easy enough to do all of a sudden, as his feet find their way towards the kitchen too easily for his tastes.

At least she could see who it is the second the front door is opened. He gives a lazy salute as he crosses the open space, stopping by a counter.] Yo.

[ Won't take long to track Chouji down. Today is a good day for walkway shoveling, and it doesn't seem like a lot of people are up for the job.

Well, he doesn't mind. ]

[In lack of a nice bench to sit on, he's just gonna stand there and watch for a couple of seconds. Then somewhat teasingly:]

That'd go a lot faster if you used a jutsu instead of a shovel.

[ action ]

[savethelastchip]

[ He hears that tone. It earns some level of amusement. ]

Maybe. But then I think I'd be out of things to do. [ And this doesn't seem like the best day for having nothing to do. ]

[ action ]

[its_troublesome]

Maybe. But I can think of better things you could be doing. [Read: I might just have a plan.]

[screwthegods]

What is it you're attempting to do?

[its_troublesome]

Something that's better left unsaid unless it can actually be accomplished. [There's something left unsaid in his tone. You responded to this - does that mean you could contribute?]

[bearingevil]

Manipulating the earth? Don't know if I'd call it anything so fancy, but if you want holes, I can make 'em.

Any particular reason why, though?

[voice]

[its_troublesome]

Yeah, there is. [And because this isn't something he wants to discuss on the journals:] I have some stuff to take care of, so how about we save some time. Would you mind meeting up somewhere and showing me what it is that you can do? I can explain it to you there.

Re: [voice]

[bearingevil]

Yeah, sure. Any place you have in mind?

[voice]

[its_troublesome]

Somewhere in the village. I've had enough walking to do today. Besides that, whatever suits you.
