Forty-Third Spool of Thread - [Voice/Action]

[There's the sudden sound of a bunch of boxes falling to the ground, contents spilling everywhere as the journal's camera points up to the ceiling. It shifts suddenly to focus on a particular pink-haired girl who was unceremoniously dumped into the back room of her shop on top of said boxes.]

Ugh...thanks for the warning, jerks. [She begins to untangle herself from the boxes of ribbons and fabrics, moving the journal closer to speak. For the most part, she seems pretty unharmed.]

Hey...so what day is it anyway? Here's hoping I wasn't gone too long, totally bad for business. [There's a slight beat, suddenly remembering something. You know, her housemate that was alone for like a week.] Haruhi, report. [She works her way out from under the pile of materials and the door to the back room swings open, allowing her to enter the main part of the shop.]

Neku...you better have made it back. That was pretty low of them, keeping us sort of together and then sending you back first. Besides, I was right in the middle of designing a n--

[There's a long pause suddenly as she really takes a look at the shop. She's staring at a row of dresser dummies, counting them in her head.]

All right, which one of you broke into my shop when I was gone?!

[GDI HISOKA :|] ...you're that guy Joshua was hanging out with. Hisoka, right?

Oh. That experiment. [gdi Josh you fucking troll what have you been telling your friends about him.] Yeah, I knew him. What about it?

Nothing, trust me. I was just surprised he found anybody to tolerate him that long, but I guess you didn't have a choice. [Hold the phone. She's actually taking a look at what Hisoka's wearing right now. It doesn't matter what it is, the fact that it's Hisoka probably means that it's soooo not good enough for Shiki's standards.] Um. Did you get dressed in the dark this morning?

Believe me, I don't normally. [He's wearing regular clothes today though! It's just an orange jersey tee under a purple windbreaker and jeans ~~tucked into his hi-tops WHY~~. There's absolutely nothing wrong with it!] What the hell is that supposed to mean?

It means that you clash more than anyone I've ever seen.

There's nothing wrong with the way I dress.

What planet are you from where purple goes with orange?

Apparently the same planet where vapid girls have nothing better to do than judge people for entirely arbitrary things that will be irrelevant and contradictory by next season.

...you actually understand the concepts of seasons changing in the fashion world. Maybe you're not as hopeless as I thought.

I understand that it's stupid, and if you think along those lines it makes you just as stupid.

Hey, I don't call your line of work stupid. Whatever it is.

You probably wouldn't understand my line of work.

Try me.

Not until I'm sure you won't run off screaming.

...you'd actually tell me if I didn't take off running?

It's just an occupation. What difference does it make?

You're the one who brought it up. So spill it. What's so scary about whatever you do?

Shinigami. [He says it quickly enough to downplay it, he hopes. Please don't flip out, Loud Girl.]

...[Nope, she heard it.] ...you're kidding me.

[More shrugging can they drop this already.] You asked, I answered.

How do I know you're actually being serious though? [Granted, she's "friends" with people like Joshua. Theoretically anything is possible.]

I suppose you don't. It's entirely possible I'm just messing around with you for insulting me.

Other than the fact that you're way too serious...[Wait. Hold it.] Wait, you don't go around snatching souls or anything do you!?

[...Oh for fuck's sake.]

Yes. I am an evil soul-snatching abomination about to devour your lifeforce and drag you to the underworld. Boo.

[...she can see why Joshua likes trolling you, kid.] Whatever.

So...see? Not screaming. [And that in itself might be a bit odd, considering she's from a country where Shinigami is actually kind of serious business.]
