so_shik | Forty-Second Spool of Thread - [Voice/Action for Housemates]

[Currently, Shiki is sitting in her bedroom at House 10 with Mr. Mew. She's got her cell phone in her hand, and even though she doesn't have reception in Luceti she's got a battery. It makes her cringe and it makes her want to throw the phone out the window, but she's currently watching a video she recorded of two people she knows in a rather...compromising position.

What? It's not every day you get to watch your boyfriend make out with another girly boy. Besides, in light of recent events, Shiki's not really feeling up to going out to the shop anyway.]

...what makes us attracted to things that are bad for us? You know, like why do we pay money to watch people fight, or why do we continue watching things we know shouldn't be watched? Does that make any sense? Probably not.

And anyway...this weather sucks. It's making me depressed or something, I swear.

...Minato, are you busy? Can we talk?

[Minato's the only reason she'd go outside right now, but her housemates are free to barge in and see her while she replies to anyone who speaks to her over the journal.]

For it to work, there has to be something appealing about it.

[With an entry like that, Minato isn't sure if she's somehow found out about his own recent issues, or wants advice on her own...]

I'm here.

[...there's a very long pause as she just stares at the picture inside the journal.]

...what kind of appeal?

[Maybe it's a little of both.]

Hey. Are you at your house, or are you close enough you want to just come to mine?

It differs for everyone. For me... it was sort of a challenge.

I'm at home. [he hasn't left much for the past couple days.] I can come over if you want though.

The challenge being...?

[Somehow, she's figured as much.]

I think Haruhi and Neku are out at the moment, so you're definitely free to come here. Besides, it might be good for you to get out a bit.

[...that statement is so ominously ambiguous.]

Then I'll be there soon.

I'm making tea. See you in a bit.

[This. Might actually be a bad idea to let her make anything. But she's going about preparing tea and waiting for her not-bro.]

[...he hopes she can manage tea bags and hot water.

He invites himself into the house when he arrives. Please don't have third degree burns now.]

[Sometimes Shiki walks away from things that are boiling, that's all. But fear not, today she's doing well! In fact she's busy moving the pot onto the kitchen table by the time Minato comes in.]

Hey there. It didn't start raining again, did it?

No, just clouds.

[which is good. Too much bad weather lately.]

Good. Maybe that means I can finally put the umbrella away. [She's preparing him a cup, pushing it across the table.] Have a seat.

[He sits, and takes the tea, sipping it slowly. From the way she said that he figures she'll get to the point soon without him prompting it.]

...so...I have a few things I want to ask you, but I'm not sure which one to start with first. Maybe I should just start from the beginning. How are you?

[After trying to filter with his claws, he just gives up.]

All of it? Sometimes it's frustrating, sometimes it's completely mental, and sometimes it's completely worth it.

[she'd see through a noncomittal reply. so, he decides to come clean. the answer sort of doubles as avoidance too.]

Minako went home.

For starters, I think one would have to consider the idea that it's not really 'bad' at all.

...wait, are you...[Give her a second, she'll figure it out.]

The relationship, you mean.

[She nods, almost as if she knew that and was confirming for certainty.]

When did you find out?

[She was going to say "human nature", but the term isn't entirely correct.]

Thursday.

[so yes, he's been avoiding you.]

Then the next question is what qualifies as good or bad?

You really think it's just a cleansing? It almost seems like it'd just be adding to the negative. [Granted, she has a good point.]
