[So there actually wasn't a lot of prep-work required for this party (a good thing, in his opinion). They invited some people, set up the tables, and other than Sand Castle City that was it since everyone could bring food.
At the same time, it left Shikamaru feeling kinda useless, and for once he went out of his way to contribute as a result. For a couple days before this, he took the time he normally would spend training in the mornings to come down to the beach and dig a long trench around the shore, so that the sandscrapers' constructions wouldn't be thwarted by the tide.
During the party, he can either be found sitting in the shade of said trench (when the water's not coming in) in a shirt and shorts, or working on some of the sandscrapers himself. Or rather: making strong, stable bases to hand off to anyone who wants to finish them.]
