Forty-Sixth Spool of Thread - [Accidental Voice/Video]

[so_shik]

[The start of the feed is rather abrupt as the journal hits the floor of a familiar clothing shop, and at first the voices are muffled until the journal gets settled.

For anyone who happens to be looking at the moment, they might see a pink-haired girl bruising the pride of one certain new feather. For you see, Shiki is currently using her plush cat, Mr. Mew, as a weapon of mass destruction as she holds the cat by the arm and continues smacking Neku with it.]

--any idea how freaked out I was that you just disappeared like that?! Come on, Neku! You have to quit doing this to me!

W-what the hell?! Shiki! I don't even know what you're talking about!

...wait...what? [And it's just as abrupt that she stops hitting him. That would have been good to know.] ...you've gotta be kidding me! [And then suddenly the camera blacks out as the belly of Mr. Mew lands right on top of Shiki's journal.]

I can't believe...those jerks!

Yeah. Beat hasn't been here for too long either, only a few months. We brought him back here because you and I were living here. It just seems safer to stick together, you know what I mean? It'll take some getting used to, but you'll be okay. Just don't stand next to the banister.

[soundfrequency]

...I'll be sure to remember that.

[Okay that is cold. Taking the ice off his face for a minute.]

<3

[so_shik]

I mean mostly because Beat still likes to try and skateboard down it. He hasn't been very successful so far.

<3

[soundfrequency]

Any other words of wisdom I should know?

<3

[so_shik]

Yeah, watch out for the chicken upstairs.

<3

[soundfrequency]

I'm... not even going to ask.

<3

[so_shik]

You'll meet Sekai soon enough...Haruhi's pet, but he rules the house. I'm just warning you so you're not surprised when you meet him.

<3

[soundfrequency]

All right.

[He's not sure how he feels about the fact he'll be meeting a chicken.]

<3

[so_shik]

...I'm glad you're back, you know. Even if you don't remember anything...I--we've really missed you, Neku.

<3

[soundfrequency]

I don't think I can say I'm glad to be back in a place like this, but, I'm glad you guys are all right.

<3

[so_shik]

I think Beat's still confused what's going on, but...we're all okay.

It'd be better if Rhyme was with us though.

<3

[soundfrequency]

Yeah, this can't be easy on him if he was taken from before the Game ended.

<3

[so_shik]

...I've kind of told him a little about how it ends. About how we won and everything.

<3

[soundfrequency]

And now he knows about Joshua. [A beat.] How... have things been?

<3

[so_shik]

With Joshua you mean, or in general?

<3

[soundfrequency]

In general.

[so_shik]

Not bad. I mean it's been like how it always is...quiet when there aren't experiments, chaotic when there are. Maybe I've just grown so used to this place that I can't tell the difference anymore.
