[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.

[Blackbeard sees a grown man falling into the fountain. So, he just reacts how he naturally would.]

Zehahahahahahahahahahahaha!

[He can't stop laughing at how ridiculous the situation is. Never mind that he's a pie sitting on the ground.]

[There is a pie.

Laughing at him.

... 8| ]

[Squelch squelch squelch. Jeez, there's even water in his boots.

Calmly, he slips off one shoe and turns it over, dumping out the water. Coincidentally, it just so happens to be over where the pie sits on the ground.]

[zehahaha]

[...And slowly hopping out of the way to barely avoid being drenched.] Hey! Watch what yer doin'! There are people down here, ya know!

[smoke_shadows]

Oh? Sorry about that. I didn't see anyone.

[He doesn't sound very apologetic, but at least he's no longer aiming at the pie when he empties out the other boot.]

[zehahaha]

Well, try usin' yer ears instead o' yer eyes! This experiment's an odd one, an' ya never know what people are gonna be turned inta!

[smoke_shadows]

Hn. I'll try and keep that in mind. Frankly, all I heard was some tinny whining... [He sticks a finger in his ear, as if to clean it out.]

[zehahaha]

Huh, really? [Clearing his... um... "throat" before shouting.] Guess I'll have ta talk louder, then!

[smoke_shadows]

[...that backfired. Way to go, genius. Clearly his irritation is getting to him more than he thought.

Either way, he's cold and he's wet, so he's not going to stick around for too much longer. He grunts as he shoves his boots back on.] You do that.

[zehahaha]

'Kay! Thanks fer lettin' me know 'bout that! I'd hate fer someone ta not hear me talkin' when I'm like this! [Either he's blissfully unaware of Shikamaru's irritation, or he's doing it on purpose - with him, it's hard to tell.]

[smoke_shadows]

Don't mention it.

[And off he goes, hoping the walls of the clothing store will drown this guy's voice out.]

[zehahaha]

Zehahahahahaha! [And hopping away to get somewhere warm and dry; he doesn't know what will happen if he breaks apart in this weather, and he doesn't want to find out.]
