Seventh Spool of Thread-[Voice/Action]

[so_shik]

[Shiki's sitting on a box outside of All Passions, watching the town very very closely]

You're all dressed terribly, every single one of you! You've got to let me help you, no charge at all. Trust me, it's for the best.

[and thus...Shiki will wait for somebody to walk by before she'll drag them inside against their own will. Are you going to dare approach her?]

[[ooc: So...I kind of took two of Shiki's key traits, her desire to help everybody and her fashion-driven sense so that she's got the overwhelming desire to use the people of Luceti as mannequins to "help" them look better. Beware if you talk to her, you will become a mannequin.]]

What do you mean, wardrobe crisis? This outfit is what I'm supposed to wear as a Knight of Ratatosk... that's why Tenebrae gave it to me in the first place.

[Action]

[so_shik]

I don't care if you're a knight or not, you could at least look better. You want people to respect you, don't you? [and now she's dragging Emil into her shop and through it toward the back]

[Action]

[knightofratatosk]

W-what's wrong with my outfit? Okay, so it's not really that manly, but it's not that bad, is it?

[Action]

[so_shik]

[nods sagely] Yes. Yes it is unfortunately. But no worries, I can fix that!

[Action]

[knightofratatosk]

[... quick, Emil, come up with an excuse.]

Tenebrae will get mad if you do anything to it.

[Action]

[so_shik]

Details, details. Tenebrae can just deal with it. [and sup, Shiki's already trying to strip Emil to change his outfit]

[Action]

[knightofratatosk]

[Good luck figuring out how the hell those straps work, Shiki. It took Richter quite a while and he STILL needs help sometimes.]

H-hey, stop that! W-what are you-- don't unzip that!

[Action]

[so_shik]

[well eventually if it gets too frustrating she'll just rip his outfit. Sorry Emil =\] Man who the hell made this?

[Action]

[knightofratatosk]

[Good thing for Emil that the outfit... WON'T rip. Hurray for the powers of darkness.]

Um, I think it's enchanted. Tenebrae mentioned something about it being waterproof and wrinkleproof...

[Action]

[so_shik]

Are you kidding me? [reaches into her little bag she always has and pulls out a pair of scissors, doing a few test snips in the air]

[Action]

[knightofratatosk]

W-wait! H-here, I'll get it...

[Resigned to his fate, Emil begins undoing the straps. Don't think about the fact that you're undressing in front of a girl...]

[Action]

[so_shik]

[all right fine. Shiki pulls the scissors back and waits while trying to decide what would look better on Emil]

[Action]

[knightofratatosk]

[Poor kid, he's self-conscious as heck about undressing in front of anyone. He's also a scrawny little thing and he's embarrassed about that, too.]

[Action]

[so_shik]

Hmm...well, we need to upgrade your knight uniform. [starts digging through her closets]

[Action]

[knightofratatosk]

Upgrade...?

[Action]

[so_shik]

Make it better.

[Action]

[knightofratatosk]

I know what it means, but why do you need to do that?

[Still very embarrassed to be standing there sans shirt, he's going to cross his arms over his chest.]

[Action]

[so_shik]

Because your last costume was horrifying.

[Action]

[knightofratatosk]

What's so horrifying about it? I thought it looked fine.

[Action]

[so_shik]

[Shiki pulls out a similar outfit in an acid green color] But this one stands out a lot more.

[Action]

[knightofratatosk]

But, um, that color is kind of...

[Action]

[so_shik]

Amazing, I know. [throws it at Emil] Try it on.

[Action]

[knightofratatosk]

All right...

[He looks at it for a long moment before obediently starting to pull it on.]

[Action]

[so_shik]

...ew no I changed my mind. The green clashes with your hair too much, you look like a cactus.

[Action]

[knightofratatosk]

... is that better or worse than what I looked like before?
