Appointments Post ( II )

This post here is for personal conversations which should happen but one or both of us doesn't want to put up a new post/log and thus we will just thread it out here. This can be used to thread with Masaomi anytime and anywhere. This can either be in person (with action), or via the journal's call feature (voice and/or written).

When replying to this post please mark in the subject line when and how it is taking place EX:
[Action, March 11th]
[Voice, September 8th]
Written, June 10th]

Umm...vending machine tea party!! That way we don't have to go out to the shops or stuff, so we have more time!!

[ She definitely does not get the reference. Veils do not have a place in her culture's weddings, but she might figure it out a ways into the future. For now, she's just pretty sure it's princess and/or tea party related. ]

Sawheat. Alright! Let's go get us some iced coffee. [Or tea. Both work. But yeah, he's going to shrug and head back towards the door they came in. Which is a little tricky to find because, you know, big castle, but he made sure to mark it with a little overhanging when he programmed it]

Coffee's ICKY. [ At least, she thinks so.

She's also seven. But she's following along without complaint, other than that interjection. ]

Even the iced sort? [And with that, the door is open! They can go out to the vending machines]

It's still coffee!!!!!

[So, shortly before Asuma's return to Luceti, we're going at this Substitution thing again. The last month has been crazy hectic, but they've probably managed to fit in some training for it at least one other time besides now.]

[Yes they have! And he...! ... Well he's gotten to the point he can feel out to the log. He's managed it from like a foot away so far. It's not going super well]

Let's do it again, from the distance you managed last time. It'll get easier to do it from farther when you have a feel for it.

Yeah, I hear that, chief. [Just set up the log and go through the hand signs. He's just doing that before he actually tries to activate it, reminding himself.

Incidentally, Linda's sitting next to Shikamaru]

[He gives her a scratch behind one ear, watching Masaomi to track his progress. He's getting better at those, at least. Better that he get this much practice in before nailing it than forgetting a step halfway through needing to perform the real deal.]

[Mistake. Ugh, he resets, having completed three in a row pretty well before he had to stop. He sighs and starts over going three more times in a row. Man this is so much of a bummer]

[Shikamaru manages not to laugh, but Masaomi's expression does make him grin.]

Jerk.

[A few more times. Man he can't wait until he has this down pat]

You look like we did when we were kids, learning this. You'd think we were trying to lay eggs.

Well is there a better way to manage this?! Tell me, Sensei!!!

Usually they just threw shuriken at us when we took too long.

[...At eight year olds?]

Yeah, pass.

Thought as much.

[With a little laugh, but he gets up to come stand by him now, circling the log.] Part of it's just a matter of getting you used to it, like how we got your system used to chakra being molded. In the finer details, it's a unique experience for everyone...

Alright, alright. At least we proved I can do it in the first place. [And he sighs before finally goes about actually doing it for real. He does this and...! There! HE poofs out and replaces himself with the log. He's glad. HE managed it on the first try!

In fact, he whoops!]

[Shikamaru grins widely, unreserved.]

Twice, even!

[He'd had an idea to help him along before, but the more Masaomi can pull this off the easier it's going to get to do it repeatedly.]

Damn straight! I'm doing it something serious now! [And he gives a dramatic point, laughing to have managed it!!]

Now do it again.

Yeah, yeah. [With the log being put down there and he can go back to doing the hand signs and such]

Five more times at the same distance, and we'll call it good.

[He seems pretty confident Masaomi can do it, not that it's happened twice. He goes to take his seat once again by Linda. And so that happens for a while.]

Five, huh? I'll give it a shot.

[And he nods, decidedly. And back to practicing the hand signs]
