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

[so_shik]

[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?!

[godbent]

Yeah whatever. [She shifts, and then stands]

So are you guys in good shape?

[so_shik]

I'm fine. [She's giving Neku a pointed look though 8|]

[soundfrequency]

We're both fine.

[godbent]

[...Walking a bit closer, now studying Neku more]

[so_shik]

Haruhi, look at his wings and tell me what you think.

[soundfrequency]

They're fine.

[Some of his feathers are still stained a faint red, and some of the primary/secondary feathers look brittle and unhealthy. There's also some noticeable spots of feathers missing.

And Neku is backing away from them.]

[godbent]

...Oh yeah those don't look good at all.

[With a distinct frown, she advances on Neku. Not that she knows any good way to treat that, but]

[so_shik]

See, I told you so! Neku, hold still so we can get a better look. [And she's also going to advance a bit.]

[soundfrequency]

[Resistance is probably futile so he stops, sighing.]

They'll be fine after new feathers grow in, it's not a big deal.

[godbent]

[....Yeeeah okay. There isn't much to do other than look at these and he's right in that he don;t be better until they grow in. But-]

Did you check for infections?

[so_shik]

Unless Joshua checked for him, I doubt it. [Did you, Neku :|]

[soundfrequency]

He checked them, but I don't know if he checked for that. And I haven't.

[Oops.]

1/2

[godbent]

[THIS FACE]

[godbent]

Okay, Shiki, hold him down, we'll just douse his wings in hydrogen peroxide.

[so_shik]

That I can do. [And she's approaching Neku faster, attempting to pin him down to the couch.]

[soundfrequency]

[shfjshfshfs WHAT THE HELL, SHIKI. Sorry but you might have a little trouble doing that because he's fighting.]

H-hey! Don't I get a say in this!?

[godbent]

Why would you, we know better!

[And with that she's off to the bathroom to get the peroxide]

[so_shik]

[She's just straddling Neku to the couch.] Sorry...we just want to make sure.

[soundfrequency]

[Huff. You both are terrible.]

This is kind of unnecessary.

[godbent]

[And... she's back! With a little cup and the bottle itself] we should have enough.

[so_shik]

Shut up Neku, it is so necessary. ...wait, what is that again?

[soundfrequency]

[...this better not hurt.]

[godbent]

Hydrogen peroxide. It'll help if anything infected, but it won't sting or anything if it's not.

[Though it will sting a lot of it is. So without further adieu, she starts pouring a bit into the cap so she can pour small amounts on Neku's wings]

[so_shik]

Don't you think we should have like...I don't know, cotton balls or something instead of just dumping it on him?

[soundfrequency]

If you guys make a mess you're cleaning it up.
