Ninth Spool of Thread-[Voice/Action]

[Everybody should be used to this by now, Shiki's sitting on her soapbox outside of All Passions with Mr. Mew just people-watching and half-reading the magazine in her lap]

Well, I can't say I've ever made a sail before, but it's finished. Everything's finished and everything should have been picked up by now...oh!

Arashi, I finished yours! I can either deliver it or you can come get it, whichever works best for you. Hopefully it'll look okay.

Now that everything's done, what's left? Come on, I'm starting to get bored here! There's only so much room in the shop for me to store stuff I've made. [She goes back to reading her magazine then, though her eyes are still peering over the top of the pages to watch the streets.]

Another cycle gone and he's not back yet. He better be okay back there.

[He just finds it funny is all. Kirk glances at the chair then takes off the gold shirt, ready to hand it to her when she needs it.]

It means you are apart of Starfleet.

...Starfleet. [she sounds a little amused because c'mon, it sounds funny when you've never heard of it before but it's also a questioning tone] Space?

Starfleet operates in space, yes. Fleet that the United Federation of Planets uses in order to make negotiations, explore, and in the rare occasions? Fight.

[of course those instances aren't so rare for Kirk. He pulls the shirt right side out.]

So more or less it's like a fleet of pioneer-diplomats? [she's pretty quick to finish up his jacket and once that's done she'll trade him for his shirt]

[a laugh]

Yeah, that's pretty much what we do. [He hands her the shirt and takes the jacket.]

Careful with that one.

I've been sewing most of my life, I'll be nice to it. [Shiki finds another color thread to match the shirt and starts working on that] So really being here's probably driving you crazy.

I was on Earth most my life until I enlisted, used to being on a planet. This place is just plain old boring.

What, you don't think this counts as a planet?

Well, I'm assuming it is. It doesn't have a Federation Designation number, but it has to be a Class M planet anyways.

Congrats, you just completely lost me. Class M planet?

[Maybe he should just carry a dictionary.]

Class M planets are the ones that can support life.

Well...considering we're here, guess you're right. Class M planet.

Where were you before you got dropped off here anyway?

My ship.

...that's a new one. I'm surprised they pulled you off of a ship.

Especially a star ship that has shielding.

Apparently we can't underestimate these bastards.

Apparently - you need the black one now?

[ties up the thread on the yellow shirt] Yeah, trade me.

[He takes off the black undershirt, pulling it right side out. This has a regular Starfleet delta arrowhead on it with nothing in the middle. Kirk tosses it to her but gently takes the gold one. Clearly we can tell what's more important.]

[And now he's shirtless.]

[...sup Captain, Shiki's vaguely impressed by shirtless!Kirk but she's not going to say anything about it because hey, sewing's more important. So she'll take the black one and start working on it]

[Standing in front of girls with no shirt is nothing new to the guy. He looks over the work on the gold shirt. Hemmed so the jagged edges aren't shown? Nice.]

You do a damn good patch up job.

Thanks. I'm pretty experienced. [and her hands are moving fast while she patches up the black shirt as well]

[raises his eyebrows]

Experienced, huh?

...[realizes that the way she said it probably wasn't that great. But she'll play along anyway. Maybe Jim's not perverted.] Yup, been doing it for years now.

[...PHFFF what.]

A hobby?
