Fifty-First Spool of Thread - [Voice/Action]
[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.]

Yet so far as I mentioned most of the people I've met only seem to know people who've been here a few years, but you've been here four. Who's been here longer that you can remember still being here?

[She's taking notes in her journal at this point, so that she doesn't forget it.]
[Action]
...oh, and his wings are blacks, hers are silver.
[Action]
[She finished jotting down the notes in her journal and picks up a dress she thinks would be Morrigan's style.]
Do you know the measurements on each of these?
[Action]
[Action]
Let's see... 86 cm bust... 56cm waist... and... 84cm hips? No wait... 83... 83cm for the hips.
[She always felt a little... inadequate when she tried to measure herself against such measurements. Then again Morrigan was a succubus, she was supposed to be able to seduce men with her body.]
[Action]
How about any of these?
[Action]
What do you think of this one?
[The dress she pulled out looked a little bit like this]
[Action]
That's actually one of the one's I'm seriously proud of. It's great. It sounds a lot like what your friend was looking for...I might have it in some other colors, too...or I can make one from scratch in another color.
[Action]
[She looks at it fondly for a moment, before turning back to Shiki with a shy smile.]
If you have any in black, or maybe a deep blue I would really like that too. Hehe... I might even like one for myself, although maybe not quite as identical so we don't look like we're copying each other.
[Action]
[Action]
[She motions with her hands trying to get her point across a bit better.]
I'll be sure to come around by again when you've finally got it all together.
[Action]
[Action]
[She raised her hand as if asking her to pause as she considered it.]
I think... a shawl would likely work better, or maybe even a cape... I have a certain fondness for capes, but in this instance, a silk or satin shawl may still be our best option. What do you think?
[Action]
[Action]
[Ilyana looks off into space for a few moments, as if trying to consider something.]
Shiki? Would you like to meet up together sometime after Christmas? At the Seventh Heaven, or maybe the Good Spirits? I don't have many friends in Luceti, so this is my first time actually asking this... but I thought it might be nice to just talk to each other over a meal... or something of that nature. It also might be a good chance for me to meet some of your other friends too.
[Action]
[Action]
[Priorities... she has them.]
Who do you live with?
[Action]
[Action]
[Ilyana sighs as she gets ready to explain since it seems she may need to if she and Shiki are close friends.]
When we first met I had passed out near the Seventh Heaven restaurant and... she sort of didn't know I was there and... stepped on me. So then I kind of came to, and grabbed her foot and... Well I'm not sure if she likes me very much cause I think I may have accidentally disrupted her date.
[Action]
[Action]
[Deep breath... deep breath.]
I think... it was all probably just a series of unfortunate misunderstandings.
[Action]
[Action]
... [She pauses seeming to realize Haruhi might not appreciate the fact that she was sharing this kind of information with her best friend, if her friend didn't know about it yet.]
Umm... you're not going to tell Haruhi about this... are you? The last thing I need is her being more angry with me...
