[Just For Residents]

[So he found the New Mission pop up on the books earlier today the mod post said it would appear a week before hand so and he looked at what it was... and the date... and the droid arm in his apartment...

He can't help but snicker. He considers using his book for this, but decides while it makes things less theatrical, it also probably serves the residents here better to have it not be 100% public. So during the time he'd normally be at the Dome, he instead crawls into the tunnels for-

This is all said in a jovial tone unless otherwise noted]

Hey, hey! You all know Shikamaru-kun's birthday is coming up, riiiight? Riight? Oh, well, if you didn't, it is! And I actually planned something super special for his birthday a week from now, but it seems the Malnosso went and made the mission I'd so painfully chosen public! [And he sighs a lamentation] Alas, with my surprise no longer a surprise, I thought it best to simply deliver the gift early.

So happy early birthday, Shikamaru, my man! And for everyone else, please flip to the back of your journals [where missions are noted] To see what I'm on about! I'm sure you'll agree I really outdid myself!

[There's a three or so minute pause before this next part is typed]

But no seriously, this mission could have some importance to us. Anyone who would like to get some payback and planning on the droid situation ought to sign up for it. And talk about it here if you want.

[Like with most LucetiLocked posts consider this jack around and open discussion-able about the mission even if you don't know this guy or his friend]

And for those who don't care for such things [why he can't get, he finds it all fascinating] they still come with hefty rewards.

[...by Luceti standard, anyways.]

[generalflirt]

It's true. But the principle of the thing is "working for" the enemy. A nuanced distinction isn't something a moralistic person can appreciate.

[endgames]

It's not just about morals. People should stop making that mistake.

[It can only disguise ignorance for so long.]

[generalflirt]

Hah, then what would you put it as?

[endgames]

I'm not gonna pretend I know enough to account for every reason when people refuse on those sorts of grounds it frustrates me.

Whose world is so black and white? Mine isn't. I don't think yours is.

[generalflirt]

It's sure not that white anyway.

[There is genuine evil in the world. there is Izaya. There are the Squares. There is Izumi.]

[endgames]

There's a lot of gray.

[Itachi. Maybe even Pain. Shikamaru doesn't know if he could forgive him for Konoha, but Naruto did, and that's the reason everyone is still alive there today.]

You have to know the situation if you want to improve things, is the point. If you want to do that, you have to get involved.

[generalflirt]

Isn't that what I said about Gold and Silver?

[He might sound bitter. No, he is a little bitter, still]

[endgames]

To a point.

[generalflirt]

Mm, yeah.

[He rolls onto his side now.]

[endgames]

[Shikamaru sighs and folds his hands behind his head. Jeez, way for him to make things so serious.]

Heh. At the same time maybe I'm speaking from the wrong side. It's troublesome to say it, but I look forward to them now.

[He still has his other reasons, the ones he's told Masaomi before. But the more he goes, the more he enjoys it, he's found (not counting the hospital).]

[generalflirt]

Mm. [Still on his side, he looks at the wall. And then he lightly clicks his tongue] So buy us an elevator.

[endgames]

Just us?

[generalflirt]

Or the whole building? Either one works.

[endgames]

[...hm.]

Might as well, right? We go up to the roof all the time... it'd be troublesome if it only went up four floors.

[This is starting to sound appealing actually.]

[generalflirt]

Yes. Go ask CJ-san right now~!

[endgames]

I have to meet Raine. Later, though.

[generalflirt]

Hah. Alright, alright.

[And he flips up to a standing position. He might as well leave.]

[endgames]

[Shikamaru will hang here. Might as well stay and talk about the droid thing. Before he's fully out though.]

Aa... thanks, too.

[generalflirt]

Mm. You'll see the real gift eventually, too.

[With a little nod]

[endgames]

It's fine enough you thought about it.

[generalflirt]

Shikamaru, I'm going to blow your expectations out of the sky.

[And with that, he's walking off]
