[Being a cloud? It is just as awesome as Shikamaru always thought it would be. For the most part, he's been able to just float along at his leisure, observing anything interesting and not having to do anything when there was nothing else around. He's sure he won't want to stay like this forever, but he wouldn't mind it for another few days.
Naturally, this seems to be a sign to whoever the hell's controlling this experiment that he needs to have a solid body again ASAP, which just happened to be as he was sailing over the fountain. Shikamaru would be less than impressed if he weren't preoccupied with the sudden unexpected free fall.]
Shit- [There's a yelp and a splash. Luckily the fountain wasn't frozen over by merit of I SAID SO, but the water is still freaking cold. Sorry if you were close enough for an impromptu shower. He grunts as he straightens himself up, trying to wipe the water out of his face.] Of all the goddamn times...
[That's not his voice. And when the hell did he get a beard? When the water stills long enough for him to get a glimpse at his reflection, it only takes another second to figure out what's happened.] How troublesome.
[You know. When he told Naruto that he wanted to grow up to be as cool of an adult as his sensei was, this wasn't what he had in mind.
After hopping out of the fountain, Shikamaru can be found trudging around the square looking for some dry clothes before heading back to CH1.]
