[Well today Shiki's sitting inside All Passions behind the til, her own special little elf sitting side-by-side with Mr. Mew. She's currently working on something with her hands, though it's not quite in view of the camera yet. However, anyone who's looking will notice that the little elf is shifting through what looks like an elf-sized wardrobe full of outfits. Said-elf might also be trying to dress Mr. Mew. That's not going too well. The shop itself has been decked out with little lights shaped like stars and Christmas music is playing in the background. Shiki continues to work as she addresses the village.]

So this is, what, my third Christmas here? I'm starting to run out of ideas for presents for you guys, but maybe I'll try my hand at baking. [She giggles a bit.] Just kidding, I'm totally prepared. I've been totally good this year. [Hear that, Elf? Shiki's been good. In fact, she stops working to tilt her journal toward a pile of fancy wrapped boxes, presents for her close friends and housemates.]

Pretty, right? Just remember, if you need a last-minute gift for that special someone, or, well, anyone really, stop by All Passions! I've got just the thing for you.

...but can you guys try to stop by before it gets too dark? I wanted to close up early today, maybe go ice skating or make a snowman if anybody wants to join me.

[And she's adding the finishing touches to her project before holding it in her hands. A crown. A mistletoe crown, in fact, to go along with her new holiday dress, the newest of her winter line.] What do you think? Too much? I kind of like it. I'm really getting so much better at designing things myself. [In fact, she's just going to put the crown on her head.

It's probably best not to ask her where she got the mistletoe from.]

Anyway, merry Christmas everybody. PS, if any of you received...um...any kind of questionable gift outside of your house? Blame the elf. [Shiki may or may not have gone around to strangers' homes and decorated the outside of their doors with ribbons, bows and lights, along with leaving behind a box of cookies that might be slightly burnt. Shiki's not the best baker.]

[ooc: If your character has close CR with Shiki, assume she made you a present. Like hand-made.]

[generalflirt]

Eeeeeh, they why do I feel your eyes stalking me as prey already...?

[so_shik]

Probably because you're kind of insane. [She leans against the tree, looking up at him.]

[generalflirt]

That's mean, Shiki-chan.

[so_shik]

It's kind of a compliment, actually. I mean insane in the nicest way possible.

[generalflirt]

Eeeeh, you'll need to tell me more about this way of the insane, Shiki-chan.

[so_shik]

I mean what if I like insane people?

[generalflirt]

How convenient for me.

[so_shik]

You've never met my friends, have you? I know kind of ridiculous people. You're sort of like...like a walk in the park compared to some of them sometimes.

[generalflirt]

Now I feel like I ought to be insulted to be called so normal! [Cackling to himself.]

[so_shik]

Do you want to be normal, or do you want to be someone who prides themselves on sticking out?

[generalflirt]

Well you can't be an A-class ladykiller without a bit of a stand out, eeh?

[so_shik]

Can't say I'd know. I kind of like the ones who keep to themselves.

[generalflirt]

Thaaat is a weird taste for a Tokyo City Gal, Shiki-san.

[so_shik]

You've never met Neku, have you?

[generalflirt]

Guilty. [He shrugs, but he can feel his legs starting to feel like lead. He's running out of gas already?]

[so_shik]

[She's mostly just being mean and letting him suffer, it's okay.] Hmm...well, he is my ex. I guess he wouldn't care if I kissed someone else, especially if it was just to help him out...

[generalflirt]

If the guilt's too much for you, you can always just let me rot. I'm sure my skull would be attractive too, with a flawless set of teeth like me.

[so_shik]

...open your mouth a little wider.

[generalflirt]

[Here, the widest smile he's got

Only slightly stained from lots of energy drinks]

[so_shik]

...huh. They are nice teeth.

[generalflirt]

See? [And he crosses his arms, sweating now. Distinctly]

[so_shik]

But not the nicest. [But she'll lean in and peck his lips briefly to see if that'll help. I mean come on. He's there. It's a nice-looking boy. There's mistletoe. Whatever.]

[generalflirt]

[It does. Because in that moment he blasts off the tree, splintering bark and landing on his side. He'd been not in control of how much chakra he was using for a while, and when he regained control he put too much into it. Hope you enjoyed that sideways kiss. Anyway, he rolls back to his feet quick enough, dusting snow off him]

[so_shik]

[There's almost a yelp of surprise as Masaomi just rockets off, and she backs up and away.]

Whoa! Are you okay?

[generalflirt]

Neeeever better. [Just tired and his legs feel a bit lead-like, right now. Ooooh. Yeah]
