[ Chouji happens to know what day it is, and so at some point today he gets ready and leaves the apartment, the very picture of a man with a mission.

That being to collect the proper supplies for his best friend's birthday. No party decorations or public announcements since Shikamaru is, well, Shikamaru and likely to try logic-ing his way out of such an event on a technicality; but at the very least there is going to be cake and dinner and maybe a gift if he can find anything, and that is not negotiable.

So if you happen to be around town today, there is a large ninja making the rounds to stock up. It's... fully possible he'll duck into non-bakery, non-item store places of business to get a minute out of the rain. ]

[ And then at some point after dripping back into the apartment, sounding generally amused: ] --pretty bad out there.


Naruto, Shino; you guys should come over later. We can all eat together. [ What could possibly go wrong, right? :| ]
endgames: (So unimpressed)

[Well if the lack of Chouji in the apartment in the middle of all this bad weather wasn't his first clue, that request is in it's own vague way. Have a towel, man.]

I'm not getting out of it, am I?

[ Towels are good things, yeah. He'll just incorporate his gratitude into the all-encompassing grin of Victory. Like he expected Shikamaru not to figure it out, pfft. ]

That's right.
endgames: (Amused)

[SIGH.] How troublesome. It's not like it really counts, you know? My birthday was only about two months ago or something back home.

[Despite all intentions, he's sort of failing at sounding annoyed about it.]

[Action]

[identity profile] savethelastchip.livejournal.com 2010-09-23 07:02 am (UTC)(link)
I know. [ Aha, then he has you. :Db ]

It's still the right day even if it doesn't count, though. So why not celebrate? [ Chouji couldn't ignore it, so. Two birthdays, dude. ]
endgames: (Ear)

[Action]

[personal profile] endgames 2010-09-23 07:25 am (UTC)(link)
[He shrugs.] Doesn't seem like that great of a reason. But it's not like I can say no when you already went out and got a cake.

[Really, he appreciates that a big deal isn't being made out of it, and Chouji's good for that. Cake and a good dinner? He can live with that.]

[Action]

[identity profile] savethelastchip.livejournal.com 2010-09-23 11:47 pm (UTC)(link)
That's the idea. [ He can't plan out a fight to the smallest detail, but Chouji knows how to strategize birthdays for pineapple-heads. :| ]
endgames: (Shrug)

[Action]

[personal profile] endgames 2010-09-24 12:43 am (UTC)(link)
[He just shakes his head and tries to hide his grin.]

Fine, fine; you win. Just hurry up and towel off before we need rainboots to cross through our front door.

[And since Chouji really should concentrate on that, Shikamaru decides it is his duty to pick those bags up off of the floor. There are no ulterior motives here, what do you mean.]

[Action]

[identity profile] savethelastchip.livejournal.com 2010-09-24 03:50 am (UTC)(link)
Right; sorry about that. [ Victoryyyyyyyyy.

Of course there are no ulterior motives. That's obviously the only reason why Chouji would be unconcerned with you getting those bags, right? ]
endgames: (Observe)

[If it had been that easy, he would have been disappointed.

But oh, it is on now.]
Cake looks good.

[identity profile] savethelastchip.livejournal.com 2010-09-24 11:55 am (UTC)(link)
[ It better be on. You know how hard it is to keep things from being found on the first try when you're living with the ninja in question? Chouji's having a damn good day of it. ]

Yeah, the bakery's a really good one.

[ You know. Times like these are when he questions letting his hair get so epic. ]
endgames: (Whatever)

[personal profile] endgames 2010-09-26 10:12 pm (UTC)(link)
[He'll just stick that on the table then. Oh so casual here.] So what time are we suppose to be expecting Shino and Naruto?

[Action]

[identity profile] savethelastchip.livejournal.com 2010-09-27 09:41 am (UTC)(link)
I told them seven would be okay. [ Adding in an unspoken "I can give them a different time if it's not." Plenty of time to look for Paisho boards stuck to the top of the inside of the cabinet under the kitchen sink, at least ]
endgames: (Yawn)

[Action]

[personal profile] endgames 2010-09-27 10:19 pm (UTC)(link)
Cool. I think I might squeeze in a nap before then, in that case. [Utter Disinterest. Suspicious yet, Chouji?]

[Action]

[identity profile] savethelastchip.livejournal.com 2010-09-29 07:43 am (UTC)(link)
[ Always so disinterested, Shikamaru. Suspicion comes with the territory. ] Yeah?

[Voice]

[identity profile] donaldtrumpcard.livejournal.com 2010-09-22 03:28 pm (UTC)(link)
Eat together again?

[There just HAS to be more activities they can do other than this.]

[Voice]

[identity profile] savethelastchip.livejournal.com 2010-09-23 05:39 am (UTC)(link)
Yeah. [ Well, there probably are other activities, somewhere... :|a But not today. ] Bad weather is a great time to get together for a meal with your friends.

[ And it's a special occasion, but he figures advertising the fact wouldn't be well-received by a certain pineapple head. ]

[Voice]

[identity profile] donaldtrumpcard.livejournal.com 2010-09-24 05:01 am (UTC)(link)
Alright then... I'll be over.

[He got the time from your convo with Naruto. No need to ask twice.]

[Voice]

[identity profile] savethelastchip.livejournal.com 2010-09-24 10:37 am (UTC)(link)
[ One of the high points of competent ninja friends.

And dude. Just learn to accept Chouji dragging you into associating with your ninja buddies/the general public now. ]


Great.

[Voice]

[identity profile] nextgen-hokage.livejournal.com 2010-09-23 01:54 am (UTC)(link)
[As if Naruto could pass up the chance to eat food with friends.]

Yeah! I'll be there!

[Voice]

[identity profile] savethelastchip.livejournal.com 2010-09-23 06:02 am (UTC)(link)
Great! I knew you'd be up for it! [ GOD, WHY CAN'T SHINO BE SO ENTHUSIASTIC. ]

[Voice]

[identity profile] nextgen-hokage.livejournal.com 2010-09-23 09:17 am (UTC)(link)
[BECAUSE SHINO BUGS PEOPLE WHO ARE ENTHUSIASTIC.]

Gimmie a time and I'll be there, on the dot!

[Voice]

[identity profile] savethelastchip.livejournal.com 2010-09-24 03:38 am (UTC)(link)
[ OH SNAP. Give him a second to figure out a good time >> ]

I think seven should be good.

[Voice]

[identity profile] nextgen-hokage.livejournal.com 2010-09-26 06:30 am (UTC)(link)
Seven. Got it!
