Seventh Spool of Thread-[Voice/Action]

[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.]]

[...No? Well it certainly simplifies things. Although now that she mentions it...]

Ah. Yes. I had... forgotten. Now what do you suggest?

[Best to get this over with. He can't delay too long from his Quest.]

[so_shik]

Something a bit less dreary. [starts digging through her things for something in Sephiroth's size, eventually coming up with a nice pair of slacks, a white dress shirt and a blue tie]

[Less dreary? Perhaps, but he's not exactly bound for an office job, you know. He looks quizzically at the clothes piling up in his arms.]

...I don't think I'm made for bureaucracy.

[The pauldrons gave it away more'n anything.]

[so_shik]

[...that icon is brilliant. Shiki tilts her head and nods in agreement] No, you're right. [Shiki swaps out the shirt and tie for a looser gray button-down shirt]

(ooc: Eek, this reply got lost in my inbox a little, did you still want to continue?)

[Oh he was going to feel positively civilian... But after all, wasn't that something he'd wanted, a long, long time ago? It was hard to remember.]

Why not?

[Takes clothes, albeit a little awkwardly.]

[so_shik]

Why are you not made for bureaucracy? I don't know, but this color suits you better at least.

[ooc: Oh that's not a problem! Continuing though, that's entirely up to you~ I don't mind doing backdated tags at all ^^]

The sword was the most telling, I think.

[He pauses because hey, just realized he doesn't know the procedure for this clothes-buying business.]

...Do I change here?

[so_shik]

Oh, go ahead and change back here. [Shiki shows him a small changing room behind a curtain]

[silvergeneral.livejournal.com]

[Just as well that you told him else he'd probably start stripping right there. Shame? What shame? You don't learn that in a lab!]

Understood.

[And... shuffle shuffle complete! Ta-daa!]

What's your verdict?

[so_shik]

[oh please, Shiki wouldn't care. She has no problem stripping men, she's done it before but she figured it'd be best to make this as un-awkward as possible. Upon seeing Sephiroth in his new outfit though she grins]

Perfect!

[He bows]

Happy it serves.

[so_shik]

[She's practically bouncing on the balls of her feet] It looks fantastic! Now get out there and show everybody how fabulous you look.

[He salutes, half a smile on his face because she's just so excited.]

Can do.
