Sixteenth Spool of Thread-[Voice]

Um...guys? Just a heads-up that All Passions will be temporarily closed for a little while. I'll still take orders and make things, but I won't physically be at the shop for a long time, not until I can be mobile again anyway. Sorry for that.

Buffy, looks like we're going to have to postpone the lake-date for a while, but how about you drop by House #10 for dinner sometime this week to make up for it?

...actually I think it might be okay if anybody who needed something made or just wanted to talk to me can drop by House #10 during the day, so there's that too. Such an inconvenience, sorry again.

Well there's still the power cap right? Maybe they can't do anything too damaging here.

[herotypical]

Unless the cap's removed, like it was in May. Which was one freaky heck of a time--I did not enjoy that. Not even the teensiest teensy bit.

[so_shik]

Then be glad the cap's back on.

[herotypical]

Oh, I am.

But I'm still concerned over why your...power thingies don't work here while that math guy's does. I might actually have to hit research mode on this one.

[so_shik]

I'd like to know the same thing. I can't think of any reason why they're not.

[herotypical]

Do you think someone could have put the whammy on you, to stop you from using it?

[so_shik]

...well actually, I wonder if it's because I won the game and came back to life. I was alive again right before I got here.

[herotypical]

So, the living don't get these powers? Just those who are...well..less-than-living?

[so_shik]

Hard to say. All I know is that Sho's pretty dead and I'm pretty...well, not. That's the only solution I can think of unless...

[herotypical]

Unless?

[She prompts.]

[so_shik]

...it's nothing. Just thinking.

[herotypical]

Oh, no. Don't think. Thinking's bad. That way, headaches live. I know this from first-hand experience. I try to avoid thinking whenever possible.

[A slow smile.]

Maybe it is because you're alive--if so, I think that'd be a pretty okay reason. I'm told on good authority that being alive is a good thing.

[so_shik]

You know that's really funny, I've heard the same thing. Guess I'll stay with staying live and just avoid Minamimoto.

[herotypical]

Probably for the best. He doesn't sound like the plays-well-with-others type.

[so_shik]

Most definitely not. If you see him, be careful kay?

[herotypical]

I'll be the epitome of careful. [Right before I break his leg, in return. But she keeps the avengey stuff to herself.]

Does Math-Boy have any weaknesses?

[UNFORTUNATELY, very late, I am hijacking this thread. Or at least, Haruki is getting home. He's been out jogging, actually, so when he comes back in his first reaction is to take off his sweaty shirt, which is hap-hazardly throws at the coat rack. And thus comes in the oddly muscular eccentric sixteen year old with the gay headband. Who is abnormally tall for a Jap his age at 5'9 or so. And I describe things too much.

STILL, as he enters he does slam the door open and closed you know, and them makes heavy stops on in. And yells in:]

Oi! I'm home!

[...As to thread order. Uh. Idk, you figure it out?]

[so_shik]

Yeah, I see that. [hi have your not-girlfriend sitting on the couch with a pretty blond girl]

[herotypical]

[Buffy waves a wave that is one part friendly and two parts mildly awkward.]

Uhh--hi.

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

Huh. So you invited someone over tonight?

[...Hmm. Let's see, blonde, pretty, looks like she might be able to kick ass... he puts on a detective facts before flopping shirtless like boy has no decency on a chair across from the two]

Oh, you're Buffy then!

[so_shik]

[just settling for giving him a look that's mildly annoyed. Honestly boy show some class, ugh] Yeah, we decided it'd be best to have Buffy over tonight. And she brought cookies.

[herotypical]

Yep, I'm cookie-bringing-Buffy.

[And she'll spare a few seconds of perplexed eyebrow raising on his sweaty shirtlessness. Haruki, your hosting manners amaze her.]

I, uh, hope that everyone likes chocolate chip?

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

Eh, good enough.

[SHRUG and then he stands... Hmm, choices, choices...]

I think Imma shower. Be down in a bit!

[AND then he bounds for the stairs, and the only shower in the house... upstairs]

[so_shik]

Oh...kay? Bye? [Whatever, go away and don't come back until you're decent :|]

[herotypical]

[Silence while Haruki leaves the room. Tense, wide-eyed silence. Finally, she turns quickly to Shiki and whispers:]

He's...colourful. In a quite-the-character sort of way.
