Event Log - Total Recall

[lucetimods]

Who: You and you and mostly me and you
What: Everyone's been Shifted in their own way
When: A hero doesn't care if this event last a whole ten days
Where: Everyone can blaze a hero's trail
Summary: It's that special time when the Malnosso collect all their recent experiments and apply them all at once to measure effectiveness. Although invaluable as research, it tends to leave the subjects looking just a bit mad.
Rating: Rated H for HEROIC

So there is a mod post and it pretty much tells you EVERYTHING you need to know. This is a mass log for people to comment around on if they don't want to make posts. Or even if they want to make posts anyway. There will be at least one more of these later in the event! ENJOY!

28th/day 3 and now I will go grab popcorn

[tsuntrader]

[Stupid thought bubbles, stupid people telling her she's supposed to be a guy, stupid-

Oh hey, it's-

It's-



...It's. It's that guy. That guy with the pinap berry hair.

Yep. He's uh. Friends with Masaomi. Masaomi's friend. Did they ever even- whatever. Doesn't matter. What's he thinking? Those thoughts are going by pretty quickly. It's hard to keep up and see what they're saying. -Shogi? -You know, it's would be so much nicer if she actually knew these things instead of being completely inept in funland. Even if she doesn't really care, it's nice to at least know-]

28th/day 3 that was beautiful

[endgames]

[The hell is a pinap berry- She.

What follows after in the thought bubble is a series of observations, comparing Silver as he met him to how Silver looks now. Height, facial structure, hair, body language-]

Shogi's a strategy game.

[Said completely casually, as he takes a seat on the bench. Yes, observations are still going.

Clothes are similar, but the way they're worn-- smells the same-- Somewhere in there there's acknowledgement he hasn't given his name, but it's lower on the priority table, apparently. --pineapple berry, wonder if it grows on a bush.]

[tsuntrader]

How do you play it? [...He's not looking over my thought thing. He's staring at me. ...It's a little bit of both, isn't it? And he's doing the guy to girl comparison thing. Yeah, that's surprising.

She's pretty content to just stand, at least for the moment. She's making her own observations, trying to keep up with his thoughts and match them up to his expressions. -Observant, but acts casual- At least my clothes are the same. It's kinda weird to think about, but the facts are stacked up against me, aren't they? Whatever, it's not like it really- ...My smell?



+



=

...?]

[endgames]

Girls smell differently. [May as well say it out loud. At least he's not questioning it, outside of mental notes.



...said notes are about to be overlaid by shogi tactics playing one after the other. Partially because he's explaining it, and partially on purpose.]

You ever hear of chess? It's a lot like that.

[Somewhere between a knight taking out a rook:

]

[tsuntrader]

[...Oh. Like Blue. Didn't even cross my mind. ...That's pretty obvious. There's a public broadcast over my head like I'm from some sort of manga.

But that's Blue's thing. My thing is more... More...



Yeah, that sounds about- Shogi. That game thing. Pay attention. ...Sounds detailed. Would I have the patience for it? Maybe if it was something actually important. Seems like a lot of effort to devote to something fun. No wonder why Gold likes cereal and Saturday morning cartoons. Those were-

-Shogi. It's kinda like a battle. His thoughts really got eaten up by this game stuff, huh? Is he really invested in it? Does he just like focusing and thoroughly explaining things? Or- Most of her thoughts overlap like a click and drag gif and are more or less playing king of the hill. Of course, she's mostly just nodding along anyway.]

Chess?

[endgames]

[This guy has a lot of questions, for never voicing them-

is Blue? Named after a color like Green, Gold, and- someone from his/her world.]

Some people know that version better. They're similar, but chess has fewer, more visually distinctive pieces. The rules are easier to follow, too.

[

She'd get a kick out of the missing pieces, if her name is still Silver.]

But yeah. It's essentially like playing out a small-scale war.

[tsuntrader]

[She. Her. Big sister. Silver-

War. -Don't think about it too much. She nods, but doesn't do much else other than pointedly focusing in on observing pinap dude and his thoughts now. I still have no idea what to call him, do i?]

[endgames]

[He very pointedly looks to the clouds, working on clearing his head of everything. Especially his name.]

1/2

[tsuntrader]

[Well damn. It really looks like he has his head in the clouds.]

[tsuntrader]

[...Wow, that was awful.]

[endgames]

[...he grins. Just a little. And despite his efforts not to think of anything...

]

This is nice.

[tsuntrader]

[...?]

What's so nice about it?

[endgames]

Most girls, you can't get to stop talking for a minute or two.

[tsuntrader]

[...This is a topic change. Not the smoothest one, but she'll take it.]

That's a pretty big generalization.

[endgames]

Not all, just most.

[A few faces bleed through the thought bubbles



before he reigns them in again, frowning at it.]

[tsuntrader]

[What comes to mind is

being loud and calling her obnoxious which results in don't say that about my big sister.

It also comes with a side of mixed with and to create and .

It doesn't stop her from glancing at pinap dude's people, though.] I'd say it's a pretty even split.

[endgames]

[He catches sight of Gold there, from the corner of his eye. Yeah, he is loud.

...

... ... ]

...that's fair.

[tsuntrader]

Guess I should be glad that I fall under the quiet girl category. [Or guy. Whatever. Maybe it's just some kinda weird recurring theme to have one quiet person with a bunch of loud and dramatic people.]

[endgames]

Shouldn't that be my line?

[His thought bubbles go back to reflecting the clouds, as he concentrates on them.]

Though in this instance, it's better that you speak up.

[tsuntrader]

So I don't think about anything too much? [Or something like that. That's how Gold operates, anyway.]

[endgames]

Nothing wrong with that. [I'd be some hypocrite if I agreed with that.] But most of those questions you had earlier I could've answered if you'd said anything.

1/2 /A wild WALL OF TEXT appeared!

[tsuntrader]

[Invasive, This is all way too- observing is better, there's plenty you can learn from just listening- questions show that you're willing to learn, but also that you don't understand- that's what he keeps telling me all the time, isn't it? I over think things like crazy- could I be any worse at conversations than I already am? seriously- is that what he was getting at the whole time? keeping answers cleared out so I could actually ask- and on top of that, he seems perfectly fine with- but why? Is it something he's trying to teach? Is it some kinda test? That doesn't make any- that's self centered thinking, that can't be right- maybe it was both? hell if I know- I can see what this guy's thinking, so why's it so hard to- that's stupid thinking, this guy's Masaomi's friend and seems good natured enough- but I didn't even trust Masaomi, so why should I trust his- Masaomi's easier to pin down because because he wears that stupid mask of a smile- don't think about that, that's not fair to- but would it be something he doesn't- he's hard to pin down because he acts so casual, he doesn't run his mouth off, and he thinks a lot- come on, really? I'm going to make a big fuss over something like this- I mean come on, you'd think that I'd get a better judge of a guy's character after giving him a ride as a fly-

Let's not go there. Calm down, stupid. Quit thinking too much. Questions. We're talking about asking questions. Right. I can do questions. Questions-]

[tsuntrader]

...If I'm supposed to be asking things, could I get your name? [Smooth. Real smooth. Smooth as silk. Stupid. My stupid thought thing didn't catch most of that, right? -You know, I don't think I wanna know...]

/LOVES IT

[endgames]

[Still looking away, he can see the wall of text, yes, but he can't read it at this angle. While he's curious, he pays it no mind for now. He's trying to prove his point here.

When the question is finally asked, he smiles.]

Nara Shikamaru. Given name's the latter.

WELL GOOD

[tsuntrader]

[...That's... It?...]

Shikamaru. ...That's a lot better Than "the guy with the spicy berry hair." [Smooth. ...So now what?]
