[Shiki's inside All Passions today, but the front door's open so she can look outside. Anybody passing by can probably see a pink blur running around rearranging things]

I've never been more glad to be a girl in my life. Ugh. So glad that's over. Everybody else okay? It sounded like things were getting pretty messy toward the end. [she's also seemingly cleaning out a separate workstation, moving everything to a different room] I...think Kanji's really gone. I haven't seen him in ages, anybody else?

Beat's gone too; the house he and Rhyme were sharing? Completely empty. That just leaves me... I'm glad those two got back home at least, they were here for a long time anyway.

So I've noticed that the weather's getting perfect for hitting the water, so if anybody needs a swimsuit for summer just drop by and I can make you something. Really I just need something to do before I go crazy here. Anyway, I'm Shiki for anybody who doesn't know, the shop's next to the weapon shop, you can't miss it.

[Eventually she wanders outside and sits on her porch swing with Mr. Mew, watching the village] It's almost that time for new feathers, isn't it? Does anybody else feel like time's going really fast, or is it just me? Oh well.

[Hot pudding and ice cream for both of them then! It doesn't get better than that, right?]

[so_shik]

[no way man. So Shiki's gonna wait until Haruki gives her hers before tentatively poking at it]

[god-is-a-dude.livejournal.com]

[He just starts woofing it down really...]

[so_shik]

[rolls her eyes. Typical. Okay fine so she'll start eating hers too. Hey...not bad.]

[god-is-a-dude.livejournal.com]

[Dude this is chocolate pudding. And it's hot]

[so_shik]

Hm. So maybe you were right. Not bad. [still eating, because it truly is delicious]

[god-is-a-dude.livejournal.com]

'Course I was!

[...Mmm pudding distracts me form heartache and you being a tease]

[so_shik]

So that means you'll make it for me whenever I ask, right? [seriously can you please just pick up on what we're saying so we don't have to actually ask?]

[god-is-a-dude.livejournal.com]

...No. Why the hell would I?

[WE ARE OBLIVIOUS TO SOCIAL SITUATIONS]

[so_shik]

[GOD FINE WHATEVER. Totally just staring at her pudding instead so she doesn't have to look at him] Well I mean if I'm going to be living here, might as well you know?

[god-is-a-dude.livejournal.com]

[...He stares at his pudding too. He's totally not blushing, but smirks]

Nah, there's still no way. 'Less you make some sandwiches.

[so_shik]

[Maybe she's kind of smirking too] Maybe. We'll see about that, I'm not a sandwich artist.

[god-is-a-dude.livejournal.com]

You need to move any stuff?

[so_shik]

Not exactly. Most of my stuff's at the shop anyway so...just maybe one box.

[god-is-a-dude.livejournal.com]

...Right. You're all boney too so I'll do that.

[so_shik]

What's that supposed to mean? I can carry my own box...

[god-is-a-dude.livejournal.com]

Fine, then do it. Moron.

[He'll just eat his pudding...]

[so_shik]

Later, I've got time. [just gonna eat her pudding too then. And discreetly check out her arms. No really is she too boney?]

[god-is-a-dude.livejournal.com]

[...mmmm, pudding...]

Until Neku shows up again or something.

[...Note the bitter tone in his voice. Hanyuu already left him for Senel]

[so_shik]

...if he ever even shows up again. It's been almost four months, I'm starting to think he's really not going to come back. I wouldn't worry about it.

[god-is-a-dude.livejournal.com]

[This is a bitter grunt, and then looking at his pudding]

No, he will. Everyone else lucks out like that.

[so_shik]

[looks up and stares at him then] What makes you say that?

[god-is-a-dude.livejournal.com]

'Cus this place always does that. He'll be back and won't remember shit.

[...And you're move out and it'll all happen because I believe it will]

[so_shik]

He'll remember. He'll remember me and what happened here.

[god-is-a-dude.livejournal.com]

No, he won't. They don't most of the time.
