[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.

[How does Shikamaru feel about black cats? He's not superstitious or anything is he? Because there is now a black cat crossing his path

...with a screaming donut in her mouth.]

NO! Bad kitty! PUT ME DOWN! I'm not for eating! STOP!

[goldenglasses]

[SHE IS!]

Um... do you think you could take me back to community building four?

[smoke_shadows]

...All that way?

[Yes, that seemingly grown and burly man is whining. Asuma-sensei would be so embarrassed.]

[goldenglasses]

Um... it will keep me from freezing out here! And I think there's some left over soup in the fridge you could have!

[smoke_shadows]

[As if on cue, his stomach growls. Being a cloud for the last few days, he actually hasn't eaten recently. There's a pause, and then a grin.]

Heh. Bribery will do you wonders. [Looking around to get his bearings again, he sets off in the direction of CH4] Luckily for you, I'm mostly dried off by this point.

We have towels at my place and you could always borrow some of my roommates clothes. [Yeah, he's starting to like giving away Wolfwood's things.]

[smoke_shadows]

Not sure how well you can see things the way you are, but chances are his clothes wouldn't fit me that great right now.

[Asuma was a big guy - 6' 3'' and over 200 pounds of muscle, Shikamaru would probably be better off asking Clark Kent for clothes.]

Thanks for the offer though.

[It is hard to get a good look at someone when you're a donut.] Oh, well. Hopefully you won't get sick.

[smoke_shadows]

[He shrugs.] If I do, it's a good excuse to do nothing but lie in bed for as long as I can get away with it.

[Actually, now he's kinda hoping for it...]

[goldenglasses]

I'm not sure getting sick would be a good excuse. After all, you'd have to get up all the time to run to the toilet.

[smoke_shadows]

Toilet's not far. And if it's the only other place I'm expected to have to make a run for, then my luck is working better than usual.

[And knowing him, he would probably milk it for a few days.]

[goldenglasses]

Well, I hate being sick.

[smoke_shadows]

Good thing you're not the one who has to worry about it then. Unless your cat gave you something.

[goldenglasses]

Oh man, I hope not. [That would be... troublesome! 8D]

[smoke_shadows]

[Pfft. XD]

Anyways. Since I'm assuming your fridge isn't sitting next to the building's front door, where exactly are we headed?

[goldenglasses]

Floor three and I'm in room twelve.
