[generalflirt]

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]

[Good reasons to do this from the start like so; from further away you can't pinpoint the problem.]

You did the hand signs right... try again. From here we're working on really concentrating your chakra to the log.

[Action, January 17]

[generalflirt]

I wish you could actually see the stuff, I feel like that'd make it easier.

[Or maybe ninja can see it, somehow]

[Action, January 17]

[endgames]

Ha. Only if you're a Hyuuga.

[Action, January 17]

[generalflirt]

Sooo, I trade ability for sex appeal.

[Action, January 17]

[endgames]

[LOUD SNORT.]

[he laughs at his own joke a spell before he goes to do the signs again. Still not focusing right though. He sighs and tries to focus without the signs, staring hard at this log]

[Action, January 17]

[endgames]

[That's one way to do it. It won't work without both, but Masaomi knows that. He gives no instruction for now, encouraging this attempt by not giving it.]

[Action, January 17]

[generalflirt]

[Maybe this is like a "be the log" thing. He stands straighter, keeping eye contact with the thing as she tries to feel outside of his body again]

[Action, January 17]

[endgames]

Think of the leaf.

[Vague helping.]

[Action, January 17]

[generalflirt]

The leaf was touching me.

[Action, January 17]

[endgames]

Until it fell off. You had to keep it there, so it's more like you were touching it.

[Action, January 17]

[generalflirt]

[...Well that just sounds existential. He was thinking in terms of physical contact, but. Well then. Hmm. He crosses his arms, thinking about it some]

[Action, January 17]

[endgames]

[Meanwhile, this being Winter it's getting darker. Shikamaru pulls a decent flashlight out of his pocket and switches on the beam, pointing it at log to test the light. Snazzy.]

[Action, January 17]

[generalflirt]

Wow, you're prepared.

[With a little whistle. Huh...]

[Action, January 17]

[endgames]

Always. It's part of being a cool adult.

[He says this with a smirk, but keeping a light on him is something he's decided to do from now on, quite seriously.]

[Action, January 17]

[generalflirt]

Wait, you're cool?

[THIS EXPRESSION]

[Action, January 17]

[endgames]

[Shining the light in his eyes.]

[Action, January 17]

[generalflirt]

[He blinks furiously and rubs his eyes out. RUDE]

[Action, January 17]

[endgames]

[He directs the beam away and under his chin, in a way he's seen Captain Yamato do back home. Mwahaha.]

[Action, January 17]

[generalflirt]

Your face is too flat for that!

[With a little faux-glare through one of his fingers]

[Action, January 17]

[endgames]

Your three-dimensional vision just hasn't recovered to appreciate it. [But he shies the light away again, back to the log.] Come on and focus, now.

[Action, January 17]

[generalflirt]

After you blinded me! [ :T But fine, whatever, he goes back to focusing]

[Action, January 17]

[endgames]

[WOW DETAILS.]

[Action, January 17]

[generalflirt]

[Okay back to focusing. He's still not sure he gets this. And he's starting to think that focusing this much is eventually going to throw off being able to do the signs on cue. Still... he has to try]

[Action, January 17]

[endgames]

Give it another shot. Better to put things to test as you think of them.
