[Shiki has decided to take advantage of this situation with all of the new people.]

Since all of you people are here now, maybe you can help me. Birthday presents ideas for when you're stuck in a place that doesn't require money. Go.

[Action]

[The doors to All Passions are wide open, and Shiki is bustling about dressing mannequins in Christmas sweaters. She's keeping an eye on the people that the Malnosso have ever-so-kindly dropped into their little village, so feel free to come up and say hi or troll bug her.]

Yeah. My mom and dad aren't here.

[ Heeeadtilt. Better than having to deal with a skeevy Reaper, right? ]

What's that costume for?

[so_shik]

[She nods in understanding. Poor kid. And yes, anything's better than a skeevy Reaper. But suddenly that question throws her for a loop.]

What costume?

[ He points to her clothing. ]

I've never seen people wear that before. Is it for a play?

[so_shik]

Oh, no! They're just my normal clothes. It's fashionable.

[konekoma.livejournal.com]

Oh. Maybe you live somewhere else.

[ Pause. Then, very seriously: ]

It's pretty.

[so_shik]

...thank you. I made these ones myself.

I'm from Shibuya. Everything there looks like this.

[konekoma.livejournal.com]

Where's Shibuya? I'm from Kuramae.

[ Edo again. ]

My name's Sanae.

[so_shik]

Shibuya's just a district of Tokyo.

...[Things are starting to make a liiiittle more sense.] Sanae...Hanekoma?
