Forty-Seventh Spool of Thread - [Voice]

[It's no secret that Shiki's been a little less present than usual. Sure she's been keeping an eye on the village and checking in with her friends, but overall as soon as her last Christmas order was finished, she had taken to spending less time at the shop and more time at home. Less time talking and more time listening.

Is this a sign that she's maturing? No, not really. She's been regrouping since that last draft, and she's been plotting a little.]

Okay, so, I guess it's my turn to ask a birthday-related question. What do you do when you run out of ideas how you want to celebrate? Do you just acknowledge the day and carry on, or do you keep trying up until the last twenty-four hours? I mean I know I'm going to age no matter what, but...well, a friend asked me what I wanted to do for it. And I still don't know. It's a little under a month away so I have time but...okay, maybe it's a silly thing to think about.

And in the realm of something less self-centered, hi everybody. Did everybody have a nice Christmas? Thanks for the presents, by the way. I saw a few of you at the New Years Eve party, but for everybody else...yeah. Talk to me, I guess. I think the cold's starting to drive me crazy.

PS? Yes, I'm starting to take orders for the spring already.

[Housemates and close friends, of course, are allowed to find her in the living room of House 10. When she gets bored inside, she'll have moved to the front porch of the house to sit and sketch with the new colored pencils Ginia got her.]

You ask your friends, of course.

And what if I'm not sure I want to ask them?

You do it anyway. After all, if you live forever, the world around you is what changes the most. [ Thus is the result of his research. ]

I'm sure certain people have assured that I won't be living forever though. But I'm sure you don't need me telling you that.

You were the one who asked about any breakthroughs.

[...point.] Met a lot of people that are doomed to live forever?

More than I thought I would. [ Three or so, plus Hisoka who he already knew about. ] That's a cheerful way of putting it.

Serious? I'm impressed, actually. I didn't think there'd be that many except for the few I've met.

Considering the population of the village, I'm not actually that surprised. Did you really think the ones you'd met would be all there were?

More like I was hoping.

Oh? Why?

Because living for eternity sounds awful. And lonely.

I'd imagine you get rather used to it after a while. [ He giggles. ]

Are you?

It hasn't gotten too boring yet.

Just be careful with it.

Hmm?

How's that a question?

Careful with what?

How you handle your immortality, of course.

Oh, that's simple. I'll continue to do what I've been doing. [ He giggles. ]

Collapsing from an overload?

... I don't intend to stay here forever.

I don't think any of us do, but we're all still here years later. What does that tell you?

Neku went home once.
