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

[so_shik]

Crap, how did I get so behind...? It's not like I have a lot but it keeps adding up. I just don't get it.

Buffy, your bikinis are done as promised, sorry they're late. And Keimi? Let me know when you can swing by the shop...I want your opinion on some stuff.

I guess I shouldn't be saying this but I'm still taking orders for things? I've got a couple of others done and ready for pick-up, too, so swing by when you're ready!

[Filtered to Suki's Recruits]

Okay...I need the following people to come by All Passions for measurements soon. [She pauses, flipping through papers like she's referencing notes.] Fenimore, Xion, Stella, Charlotte, Elizabeth, Ukyo, Marica, and Madoka? I think that's everybody. I was told you guys need to be fitted for uniforms so come by any time today. Right in the middle of town next to the bakery.

And on that note...Suki? If you could stop by too just so we're all on the same page of what you want. Sokka kind of gave me a brief idea a while back but...y'know, clarity.

[Action, later in the evening]

[For the most part, Shiki spends her day down at All Passions but as soon as dusk hits she's out the door and locking up. She's got a new destination in mind.

Lately Shiki's taken to shifting her stalker tendencies from Neku to Joshua, and she had recently discovered that the boy had been kidnapped. Her goal today is to snoop around house 38 and see what she can find out not only about his kidnapping, but about Joshua himself.

That is to say, she's flipping on lights and rummaging around both down in the abandoned cafe and upstairs. Neighbors are free to notice that there's activity in house 38, and certain housemates are free to notice that certain girls haven't returned home yet.]

Door's unlocked, let yourself in.

[ and she lets herself in! she slides sunglasses up onto the top of her head. ]

Shiki?

[happyends]

A-ah! I'm Madoka.. nice to meet you! I'll make sure to hurry up and come by as soon as possible!

[ voice // filter ]

[so_shik]

Nice to meet you, too. Don't rush, I'll be here for a few hours. I just need to get your measurements so I can get going on finishing these.

[happyends]

Hmm, I promise to do my best! [ Even if there isn't really.. something to try your best on here.. ]

Um, I was wondering.. what sort of uniforms are they? What do they look like?

[emp3thy]

[hi Shiki.... if you happen to step outside somewhere around lunchtime today, you'll find a loiterer on the front porch. He's seemingly doing nothing except sitting there, silently listening to music.]

[so_shik]

[She'll be stepping out to go grab something from the bakery next store, but since she's not really looking where she's going she almost runs him over.]

Whoa! [She looks down and spots the boy sitting there, tilting her head a bit before removing one of his earphones.] ...been here long?

[emp3thy]

Ten minutes.

[After checking to see she was still in there he just.... waited. Instead of announcing himself. She looked a little busy okay.]

[Voice/Filter]

[blessingone]

How soon do you mean by soon?

[She's free for a while, but she figures she should ask before just showing up.]

[Voice/Filter]

[so_shik]

Anytime later today. Probably before the sun sets...that should be plenty of time, right?

[Voice]

[ledbythewind]

Are you the young lady who runs the clothing store?

[Voice]

[so_shik]

That's me...I'm Shiki. I customize clothes around here, anyway.

[voice]

[soundfrequency]

[When Shiki doesn't return home by the time she normally does, Neku starts to get worried. Was she kidnapped? Did something happen? She wasn't home yet and he was concerned.

He's getting ready to head down to the shop to look for her when he decides to try the journals first.]

Shiki?

[voice]

[so_shik]

[There's not an actual reply at first, seeing how Shiki's being a creeper and searching through the house. But she suddenly trips over a towel that was left out in the hallway, sprawling on the floor and sending her journal flying. Neku might catch a glimpse of the ceiling.]

Ow. Couldn't they clean up after taking him? Seriously!

[Video]

[sea-king-bait.livejournal.com]

I... think I can make it over there, if you give me a while. Do we have a lot of orders, Shiki-chin?

[Video]

[so_shik]

Not a lot a lot...we're just clearing out the stock and the orders we had to get ready for a big one that came in.

...you doing okay?

[Ukyo sees the message and closes up the shop and heads right over. Of course, Shiki is probably expecting another female for the Kyoshi warrior fitting, but as it typical for the chef, she's dressed just like a boy.]

You needed to see me?

action

[so_shik]

[When she hears someone speaking, she looked up from her journal on the front til, blinking in surprise.]

...maybe? [She tilts her head and gets up, moving closer to get a better look.] Which one are you?

[hazelrink.livejournal.com]

[Peeking her head in! She's in a cute little dress and such, but... she has a plan for what she's going to do for this team which'll be different]]

Shikiiii!

[so_shik]

[When she hears Charlotte's voice, she grins and waves her in.]

Hey, Charlotte. How's i--your dress looks amazing. Did you know that? Totally does.

[Action] now that the cottage trip is out of the way-

[kyoshi]

[No point in just responding just to confirm things, so Suki will stop by the shop sometime during the day for the aforementioned clarity-giving. Since she's never met Shiki, she'll be looking around, curious and searching.]

Hello? Anyone home?

[Action] but at least you enjoyed yourself right?

[so_shik]

[Shiki is in fact there, just currently in the back room hunting for a certain set of buttons for something else she's making. When she hears Suki's voice though she bounds out of the room, stopping and just examining the girl a bit. She's never met Suki before either, but she can only guess who she is.]

Hey, glad you could make it. Sorry for the short notice.

[action] /late

[realityanchor.livejournal.com]

Hello?

[action] /no worries

[so_shik]

[And she's standing up from where she was sitting behind the til looking for something.]

Hey there. Are you one of Suki's girls?
