Appointment's Post II

This post is for threading with Shikamaru anytime and anywhere. It can be used for action tags or the ping feature on journals (voice or written) to get in contact with him for personal conversations. This will be used primarily for anything that you don't feel like would take place in a regular log or post.

Note: When making a new thread, please title it like such:

[Action, January 3rd]

[Written, June 11th]

It's a type of chilled drink. It's not completely frozen, but it's not all liquid either. [He hopes that's easy enough to follow.] It's flavored, too. We got some that taste like fruit, and a couple that taste like soda.

[She understands the concept. Mostly.] Ah, a drink is it. Do you have a flavor you would recommend?

Well, my favorite is Mountain Dew. But it's not for everyone. Do you like orange, or cinnamon?

I quite like both. [She wrinkles her nose.] But perhaps not together.

[Okay, he has to laugh.] No, no, they're not together. We have an orange flavor, and something called Dr. Pepper. That one has a weird taste, but if you ask me it's most similar to cinnamon.

Oh, I see. I think I'd like to try the orange flavor first, then.

All right. I'll get you a sample cup... [He looks around, not finding them in the place he saw them in last, and steps around the counter.] One sec. I know they're here somewhere.

[Probably down on that shelf where they keep supplies. He strides towards it, walking past an empty food bunker in the process.]

Take your time. [Belle occupies herself by watching him curiously. It's been awhile since she's tried something new, much to her displeasure. But this is the perfect solution.

Her eye catches on the empty food bunker, although she doesn't know why. It just seems strange to see a compartment empty. Perhaps they've run out of something?]

What do you keep in there?

[He looks over his shoulder, to see what she means, then goes back to searching.]

Nothing, yet. That's where I meant for the ready-to-eat foods to go.

I see. Are you waiting to get some in?

Ha! I wish. [Some more rummaging, He moves a box aside to reach one behind it.] Since it's lunches, and the like, it's something we'll have to make ourselves. I don't have enough people to dedicate to that right now, though.

Well, what kind of lunches do you have in mind? Perhaps I can help make some. At least until you have enough people. I wouldn't mind.

[And here they are. He takes a stack of cups from the box, and turns to look at her.]

You really wouldn't mind something like that?

[She shakes her head.]

Not at all. I quite enjoy making food. And it's not as if I don't have time to spare.

It'd still be a lot of work, but... [Hey, if she's already considering it, might as well outline things.] Mostly what we need are small meals. Something already prepared that people can eat quickly, like sandwiches or sushi. Anything easy like that.

I can make sandwiches easily. Is there a particular kind you would like, or should I make a few different kinds? [She's already planning a few variations in her head.]

I'm afraid I don't know how to make sushi.

Heh. Well it's not like sandwiches is a bad start. [Hum, he'll have to get containers, but he already has an idea for where to find those. Perking up some, he skips ahead.] Make whatever you like. Variety is good.

Alright. I'll do my best. [She's already making plans to stop by the grocery store on her way home for more supplies.]

How many should I make at a time? And when would you like me to bring them?

For now, let's start with ten every other day. Sandwiches no one take can be kept fresh in the freezer for a while. If we get too many leftover, I can ask you to make less or vice versa.

In that case I'll see that I have some made up to bring in tomorrow. Would that be alright? That way they're made available as soon as possible.

[He holds his free hand up, but he's grinning.] Don't feel like you have to rush yourself, we've waited this long. Not that I'll complain if you have them ready by then. Just call me out on the journals when they're done, and I'll make myself available.

But that's it; you have been waiting this long already. I don't wish to make you wait any longer. But I promise not to inconvenience myself.

But...oh how silly of me. I haven't introduced myself yet. My name is Belle.

[--okay he laughs.] Here I told you to call me out... It would be kinda prudent to introduce myself first.

[Another unabashed snicker, and he holds his hand out.] Good to meet you, Belle. I'm Shikamaru.

[She accepts his hand, the gesture less strange to her after he months in Luceti.]

It's good to meet you as well, Shikamaru. It would have added an extra difficulty not knowing who I was speaking to, but I'm sure it would have worked out.

I would have found you here eventually, would I not?

Definitely. I'm here almost every day, at this time.
