❂ .//. Party planning! » April 29th-30th

[aswirlofspirit]

[Get in losers we're going shopping. For party supplies. No party is complete without decorations and food, and there is going to be plenty of that to go around, for sure! Of course that might mean going out to get supplies, or making our own...]

[believeit]

So what else have we gotta get? Mom?? [He's never thrown a party before and doesn't know what else they actually have to do to prepare but he doesn't mind either, he needs something to occupy him and fill up the time.]

What are you doing now? Can I help you with it?!

I figure the something missing could be the party hats. IDK LOL

[aswirlofspirit]

[Kushina is taking a second to survey their haul. There's paper in different colors that they can make into paper chains, and there will be plenty of cheer at this party, but there's definitely something MISSING. When Naruto speaks up it breaks her train of thought, and she looks over.] Naruto, perfect timing! I'm just trying to make sure we've got everything. I feel like something's missing, ya know?

[She reaches up to scratch at her head while mulling it over.]

yess B)

[believeit]

Uh.. let's see..

[He looks around the room too, thinking. They have the decorations, they don't need to get the food yet, they got the hat-]

Oh! We need party hats! It can't be a proper party if we don't have hats, right?!

[aswirlofspirit]

[As soon as he says it she realizes that's exactly it, bringing a fist down to the palm of her hand with finality.] Party hats, of course! We should go check it out and see if they've got some at the general store. We can always make our own if they don't, right?

[aburame]

[The Uzumaki's energy is palpable and almost contagious amongst their little group. No one should be surprised to see that Shino appears the same as ever, but that doesn't mean he's been excused from helping out with the preparations!

He'll enter the room whilst Kushina is mid-sentence, silently placing his shopping bags on the table and pulling out a packet of something colourful and appropriately festive.]

... Will these not suffice?

[Someone added party poppers onto the shopping list. No Shino, they're no substitution for HATS.]

[believeit]

[Peering at the list.]

Can you wear 'em on your head?

[NO YOU CANNOT SHINO. NO.]

[aburame]

No... you use this for this. [He's gotten one, aiming it in the appropriate direction and- BAM! exploding streamers and confetti in Naruto's face.

NO SHINO, HE DIDN'T NEED YOU TO TEST THEM OUT.]

[believeit]

[Flailing backwards and almost falling on his ass at that.

3..2..1..]

OI, SHINO!!

[aburame]

[Lowers the party popper, satisfied that they seem to work properly.

...

Yes, Naruto?]

[believeit]

Don't do that creepy staring thing, you know what I'm gonna say!

[aburame]

[Aww. Fine, he'll only do the "creepy staring thing" for a couple of seconds more.]

They are not party hats, but I thought they would be festive enough. Or would you like us to return back to the store?

[The "us" is an invitation for Kushina as well, regarding her whilst speaking and... ignoring Naruto. If he has to go back to buy freaking party hats, Naruto coming with him isn't really a question. He's joining Shino shopping, period.]

[believeit]

But they're nothing like party hats, why would you even think they'd be enough? Of course you're going back.

[YOU haha]

[aburame]

[Kushina firstly receives an imploring look from behind his shades. DO SOMETHING ABOUT YOUR SON. In Shino-ese, he's wondering if she'll accompany them.]

We. I am openly inviting you to join me.

[So it's an automatic yes. That's how it works, right.]

[believeit]

You're the one that screwed up, why do I have to go?

[NO that is not how it works geez!!]

[aburame]

[He did not screw up tyvm. You never put party hats on the list!]

Because... [You get a nice pause here-] You are the one that insists we need them.

[believeit]

[Shut up thats not the point!!]

Actually my Mom said it first, you gonna drag her out with you too?

[aburame]

If Kushina-san would like to.

[WHAT'S WITH THESE DIFFERENT STANDARDS]

[believeit]

I don't want to.

[aburame]

As a shinobi, there are many things we do not want to do, but must.

That is what it means to "endure".

[In SHINO, that is essentially: "Build a bridge and get over it".]

1/2 or IDEK I CLEARLY NEED TO BE TRACKING THIS THREAD. YOU TWO.

[aswirlofspirit]

[Yeah sorry, first of all. The party popper in Naruto's face earns this creepy man laugh.]

2/2 YEP JUST TWO

[aswirlofspirit]

[second of all omg. You two are ridiculous. But it's funny ridiculous and she's in a really freaking good mood so no violence will ensue.]

Come on you guys, there's no need to argue! Shino, these are great, and Naruto, the more festive the better. Right? Where's that Uzumaki spirit?

[Which is emphasized with a hearty slap on the back that would knock most people forward.]

Besides, maybe we'll find something else we forgot, right?

MOOOOM

[believeit]

Yeah well I have to endure it- [ALL THE DAMN TIME WITH YOU. But he doesn't get to finish that because suddenly, Mom is slapping him on the back and he's grumbling.]

[aburame]

[Mother's day may have yet to arrive but- thank your mom, Naruto. It's fortunate she's stopped you from continuing that sentence. New favourite Uzumaki.

He seems pretty content with her answer, too.]

The shops will be closing soon.

[Random offhand comment pff. He's ready to go!]

[believeit]

[Urgh he cannot be bothered to deal with these Shino-isms anymore.]

Fine!

[Getting up out of his chair now and heading towards the door, BETTER FOLLOW.]

[aswirlofspirit]

[Someone is going to have to explain Shino-isms to her sometime you know. And you're welcome Shino aw yeah]

Naruto! [But he's already marching off. Kushina mumbles something about his mood under her breath, but looks at Shino before going to follow.]

Do you two always get along this well?

[Tact.

What is that? Can I eat it?]

[aburame]

[Although Shino doesn't try to annoy others... Hinata is the true tactful one of his team.

If he were the type to shrug so casually, he might've right now. Instead he just closes the door behind them.]

We get along as well as two friends might.
