[...okay, so when was the last time he did this? Three years ago? ...ha. Right. It's really been three years since he came to Luceti.

Well, after a few moments of just staring into the journal, Riku clears his throat and decides to speak up.]

You know, it's been three years since I came here, but it feels like I'm just going through the motions. Everything's just so routine. Maybe I'm just not making enough effort to shake things up. Hard to say, but...

[Heh.]

Okay, you know what? I think I should just get to the point. So... yeah, name's Riku, and I'd say I'm in need of some friends. Yes, Kairi, I'm actually doing this by choice this time.

[Because last time was just awkward.]

And for anyone else who's been here a while, got any pointers for keeping busy long term? I know at least some of you keep pretty busy. Heck, if any newcomers have pointers, I'll take just about anything right now.

[OOC: WARNING. Thread with Ino veers slightly into nsfw territory.]

Dating my teammate is 'going through the motions', is it.

...Not exactly what I meant.

[But he'll keep it cool.]

Ino's a pretty huge exception to that. It's just more of a general thing.

Good answer.

[But no, he was trolling from the start anyways. He knows Ino's pretty happy with him.]

But I get you. This place gets tiring sometimes.

[PING!]

I'll be your friend!

Yeah, it's a pretty vicious cycle. New Feathers show up, experiments happen. Wash, rinse, repeat, maybe with the occasional drafts thrown in.

[He pauses.]

Come to think of it, I don't think there's been a draft in months.

[...Wow, that was fast. Riku can't help but laugh, but it's not malicious or anything.]

Man, that sure didn't take much.

Oh, of course not. Anyone should be able to have a friend if they want to.

[...Oh, yes!] My name is Grune! It's very nice to meet you.

[This is where one will prove Ino and Shikamaru are teammates.]

So, being in a relationship with me is getting pretty boring, huh? [Not a hint of anger there. She actually chuckles a bit after.]

[Clearly, the best way to answer this is with flattering snark.]

Nah. You're the one thing that's keeping me from going crazy.

[Along with Kairi and his other close friends, but Ino's still a big part of it.]

[And that actually gets to her. A pause as she blushes. Why do you do this to her?]

[But she keeps her cool when she responds. Not gonna let you wiiin.]

That's good. And here I thought I'd have to set aside some fun plans if you answered otherwise.

Sounds like something a friend of mine would say.

[Which is clearly a sign that they'll get along splendidly.]

So, Grune, you been here a while?

[He's sure he's at least heard her over the journals before.]

Plans, huh? Like what, exactly?

[Share your knowledge, Ino. He's a curious 'ku now.]

It involves going to the beach.

[Just that. He knows what she meant.]

Nah. Whether that's good or bad, they've had plenty of missions instead.

Oh, I know where this is going.

[Heh, heh.]

And I bet sunscreen's a part of your plan.

Not initially, but if you want... [And she trails off, letting that idea sink in. Read her mind, Riku. She knows she's not the only one who has that ability in this relationship.]

Well, at least the missions are opt-in. Drafts pretty much force people into combat, like it or not.

Hmmm...

[And have a dramatic pause.]

I bet you'd like that, wouldn't you?

[A beat.]

Good thing I keep some on-hand.

[RIKU WHAT IS THAT COME BACK AKJGSHD]

[Keeping her calm. Keeping her calm.]

You naughty boy.

[...erp. Okay, maybe that did come out a little more suggestive than he intended, but it's cool. He'll totally just roll with it.]

Well, you wouldn't want to get sunburned, right?

True. [She somehow knew he'd say that. Oh, Riku.] I just didn't expect you'd say it like that.

I've picked up a thing or two.

[C'mon, Ino, you know you like it.]

Besides, I know how much fun you had last time.

[She does.]

Don't tell me you didn't.
