[Two things was wrong when Shino woke up this morning: for one he had slept over the time he was supposed to by like ten or fifteen minutes (obv a big deal). And two, he wasn’t in his normal sleeping clothes. Instead he looked down only to be greeted by a pair of white cotton pants… very strange indeed. After getting his normal clothes

No. Generally it means you've been gone for a time.

[voice]

[donaldtrumpcard]

I was sleeping. It couldn't have been more than-- [He starts to calculate in his mind. What time did he go to sleep>] six or seven hours.

[What would be the point in kidnapping him for such a short period of time? Usually people would be gone days or weeks or even a month after a kidnapping.]

[voice]

[yourhatred]

I couldn't tell you. They don't always seem to act with much rhyme or reason.

Are you certain it's only been a night?

[voice]

[donaldtrumpcard]

That is also true I suppose.

Unless my perception or memories were altered, I am sure. It has not been more than a maximum of seven hours.

[formerhero]

[ Speaking of lazy tags.

Shino got mallynapped? Welp. So did Duke. And now Duke is back, sleeping on the floor of the grocery store. Probably near the melons. :|; Don't step on his hair. ]

[donaldtrumpcard]

[Oops, he didn't noticed and stepped on his hair.

Hmm. This is odd why is he sleeping on the floor? Normally he would just leave this guy here, but that would be something anti-social!Shino would do. Social!Shino who wants to make more allies here is going to help out. By being as not!social as possible.

He clears his throat. That should wake him up.]

[formerhero]

[ how could he. Do you have any idea how long it takes to grow hair out that long and maintain it?! Nevermind what it takes when you are a wandering hobo homeless traveler!!

Ahem.

That cough does wake Duke up, who sits up all pretty desu like, his long white hair FLOWING onto the dirty floor. If this were a shoujo manga, he'd also be sparkling or if he were a vampire. Is that joke old yet, by the way? I'm so behind the times. Never mind that he is a man of near forty, he would still be sparkling. ... moving on. Once Duke's up he turns to look at the one who woke him. ] ... where?

[donaldtrumpcard]

You are in the grocery store. It seems you were kidnapped.

[Hmm. He might actually recognize this guy from all the journal stalking he does, but he doesn't really remember anything specific. Just kinda "oh that one guy I think I remember from the journals" kind of thing.]

[floralphantasm]

[What are you doing lifting melons like that human? If you're trying to pick one out, allow her to lend a hand with a little input. One looks blatantly superior to the other, clearly his human eyes cannot tell however.]

The left one. [Her youkai eyes can't tell how ripe fruit is either.]

[Those bugs aren't really anything special right now. I mean, she knows he has control over them and what not, so seeing them crawling about is nothing amazing. Maybe this is how he checks how ripe each melon is, with his bugs...]

[donaldtrumpcard]

[Oh, it's you! He glances at her before he looks back at the fruit he's holding.]

Hmm... is there any specific reason as to why? [He was actually going to pick the left one too buuut you know. Just curious.]

[floralphantasm]

No~ [Helpful as ever.]

Why not consult your pests as to which is the better?

[They're crawling all over. He must have them out for a reason, surely.]

[donaldtrumpcard]

They are not capable of such things. Why? Because-- [Wait is there something crawling on him? ... What is his bugs doing crawling on him? He looks to be genuinely surprised at this phenomenon. They don't usually move unless he gives them a command to.

Slowly they all go back into his clothes, so no harm no foul. He hopes this was just a coincidence or a one time occurrence. Oh God is he hoping.]

[voice]

[dangerouswind]

Not usually. You sleepwalk?

[voice]

[donaldtrumpcard]

I do not recall any memory of ever doing such.

[But maybe that was a possibility? He had never considered that. Although he thought it was unlikely.]

[voice]

[dangerouswind]

Stranger things have happened. [But she's not dismissing it out of hand just yet. Stranger things may have happened, but that's never good in Luceti.]

[voice]

[donaldtrumpcard]

True. I just wonder if this is some sort of new form of kidnapping.

[Though now he might have to look through the logs of this place again to see if that's ever happened.]

voice

[piggybabe]

[At his question:] ... You tell me, Shino.

voice

[donaldtrumpcard]

If it has happened before, it does not occur very regularly...

[From what he can. Tell anyway.]

voice

[piggybabe]

What does it mean if it does occur?

voice

[donaldtrumpcard]

[Ooooh, right . She's new here. He almost forgot about that. He figured Shikamaru might have explained the kidnappings to her, but he guess he will.]

...it means the Malnosso sent their robots to kidnap you.
