Thirteenth Spool of Thread-[Action/Voice]

[so_shik]

[If anybody's wandering by, they'll see that All Passions is broken up and on the ground, wood and clothes in a giant pile from when Mr. Giant Squid accidentally stomped on it. Shiki's slowly rebuilding but she could definitely use the help]

Just what was that all about anyway? Way to ruin my finished product and shake things up, Squid.

Everybody doing okay though? That was a little too weird.

Then I'll walk you home.

[action]

[so_shik]

...thanks. C'mon. [and she'll start walking that way!]

[action]

[emp3thy]

[follows, silently]

[action]

[so_shik]

[also silent, just heading straight for building one, room 25 and keeping her clothing pile straight so it doesn't fall over]

[action]

[emp3thy]

[Oh hey, this route is familiar.] I used to be on this floor.

[action]

[so_shik]

Really? How long ago?

[action]

[emp3thy]

Until that personality experiment.

[action]

[so_shik]

I didn't know that. I thought you always lived in your house with Aegis and Fina. [soon enough Shiki and Minato will reach floor five room 25 build one and she'll open the door, leaving it open behind her for Minato to follow in]

[action]

[emp3thy]

[following~] I like it there better.

[action]

[so_shik]

Just because you're with people, or for more space? [sets her pile on a table, taking Minato's pile as well to set it next to the first pile]

[action]

[emp3thy]

With people. [he's kind of glancing around at the room.]

[action]

[so_shik]

[it's pretty empty to be honest, though anything Shiki has is only on one side of the room like she's saving the other side for something else] People are good to have around, you've got a point.

[action]

[emp3thy]

[for your boyfriend I bet Minato doesn't mind the emptiness... his own room was even worse.] I lived in the dorms last year. I got used to having people there.

[action]

[so_shik]

[maaaaybe Besides it's not like she's here a lot anyway because of the shop so it's really more of a storage room for now] I can see how living alone here would be, well, lonely then.

[action]

[emp3thy]

[he puts his hands back in his pockets, since he doesn't have to carry stuff anymore.] You're okay with it?

[action]

[so_shik]

To be honest I haven't been here very much in the past three months anyway.

[action]

[emp3thy]

Fair enough.

[action]

[so_shik]

Maybe somebody else will move in with me, who knows?

[action]

[emp3thy]

If you asked, there probably would be someone.

[action]

[so_shik]

Honestly? I'm sort of waiting.

[action]

[emp3thy]

...Neku?

[action]

[so_shik]

Is that pathetic? I...usually don't wait for things. I do things. This is different though.

[action]

[emp3thy]

It's not. You're waiting for someone special.

[action]

[so_shik]

Haruki said it was stupid to wait. And besides, it's been three months now.

[action]

[emp3thy]

If you weren't waiting, what would you do?
