Hooooooh, well. So Shikamaru wanted to know what's up between Hatter and the angels, and why Mika hates hir, and so on and so forth, and wasn't getting any answers.

Hatter ended up with Shika in a blanket post a while back, and they started talking about, Shika tried to use shadow based jutsu against Hatter, which went about as well as you'd expect, and eventually Hatter agreed to answer his questions, for a price. The first question was worth sharing the blanket. Shika asked about Hatter's history with Raph, wanted detailsdetailsdetails, and in the end Hatter told him that, sorry, he hadn't paid a high enough price for what he was asking.

So Shika asked what it would take for Hatter to answer any question in full. Hatter agreed to do it for a kiss.

He asked for a full account of Hatter's powers and weaknesses.

Sooooo... Shika ended up with a big time mark on him, since apparently he thought he could get the better side out of a deal with a devil. Not gonna happen, thanks.

There's a post where Mika found out about it during a spar, and Hatter took over for a little while. Then Mika took Shika to Raph, and he was able to help some, but couldn't remove the mark entirely.

That's what he gets for making bargains with Hatter. :|b

How would Setsuna react if he found out about that? XD
