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.

[She cringes, as well. That definitely sounded like some sort of shower-related accident.]

Hey--he hasn't gone evil and tried to kill you yet. I'm pretty sure that leaves you lower on the crazy scale when it comes to room-mates, considering two of mine have swung that way on me.

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

[Still in the shower~ He'll be back in a bit. Probably]

[so_shik]

I guess you've got a point. But you know it's just weird going from being kinda friends to living with him to being home and watching him walk around without a shirt on. I mean it's okay but...weird.

[herotypical]

I'm getting incredibly mixed signals here. [And, she's still whispering. Because it's more fun that way.] So is this a friend thing, or a hope-to-be-more-than-friends thing? Because, hey--is that what's making it weird?

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

[LLAAALAAA shower.... Though now he's turning it off to try himself off. Another thunk though. Lighter. Damn short shower]

[so_shik]

Whoa, totally just a friends thing! Why are you getting mixed signals?

[herotypical]

If there were no...other signals to get mixed in, then why would it be weird?

[Don't mind her! Because all of her own relationships inevitably crash and burn, she likes to project her own desires for some sort of normal social circle onto others.]

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

[Of course, somewhat like a ninja... Haruki is going to be coming down the stairs is nothing but a towel to secretly go to his room. Mind you, the living room is right off the stairway, but his room is down a side-hall, so you probably will only catch a glimpse of Haru-ass]

[so_shik]

...[brb groaning because gdi Haruki have some DECENCY] I still don't see where you're going with this, Buffy.

[herotypical]

[Avert eyes! Avertavertavert--oh, hey! What a nice little fabric this sofa has. Buffy is going to spend some time admiring it. Yep.]

Just that he's a guy and you're a girl and this is a house that you're both living in and haven't you even considered it?

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

[brb, putting clothes on now...]

[so_shik]

[keeping an eye on the door to make sure Haruki stays there] Well...his girlfriend just left, and I'm still waiting for Neku. Besides, you've seen how he is.

[herotypical]

Waiting for something as fickle as who pops up in this place and when they do the popping? That is pretty much a big fat case of emotional suicide.

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

[NOT TO MENTION SHIKI JUST PAINTED HERSELF AS TOTAL REBOUND. SURELY YOU CAN SEE THIS BU-- I mean Haruki is still getting dressed. He's actually thinking about what he wants to wear to make a delayed impression]

[so_shik]

Probably but you never know right? Besides, what's your suggestion, be his rebound girl? I don't think that'd work.

[herotypical]

[Oh, Shiki. You're talking to a girl who had most of her next boyfriends set up before the previous ones left. Which, when she thinks about it now, might have been part of the problem.]

Not necessarily a rebound girl. Just...y'know, a girl. Who's right here and totally dateable. Cute, friendly, talented. What's not to like?

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

[GUH this suit is hard to get on. Haruki's putting on a ridiculously complex outfit so he's going to take just two replies longer!]

[so_shik]

How about the fact that I'm not Kyonko maybe and he's not Neku? Cute friendly talented aside, there are just some things that don't work and I'm pretty sure that'd be one of them. Besides, I don't think he'd even know what to really do anyway.

[herotypical]

[Frowning and maybe looking a little bit apologetic, too. She sits back, leaning against the back of the couch from her position on its arm.]

R-right. Of course. Sorry--there I went, getting mouthy again.

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

[And then to break OR MAKE the awkward, Haruki finally comes out. He didn't do much to his hair, sadly, but he is in a ridiculous outfit now. It's an outfit he had Kanji make for him before Kanji vanished, so now he's in an outfit not entirely unlike The guy with the black hair's (http://i194.photobucket.com/albums/z61/Whyvillex3/Kuroshitsuji/kuro03.jpg) here, but Haruki's also includes little devil-wings and a tail. But he's even got the creepy white gloves]

Sorry for the delay.

[...He's even changing how he's talking, ftlulz.

[so_shik]

[first she looks at Haruki with wide eyes because what the HELL? Then she looks at Buffy with a look that clearly says "Still think there's mixed feelings?" Otherwise she'll just shake her head] What should we make for dinner?

[herotypical]

[Well, that is certainly an interesting outfit. And Buffy? Right about now would be a good time to shovel your jaw off the floor and do one of those mildly uncomfortable smiles you're so good at.]

...Last time I checked, it wasn't October thirty-first. Did I miss a whole bunch of months? Because that has got to be some kind of costume. Right?

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

...What's the the thirty-first? [...Pause, consider... he puts a glove on his chin and taps it a few times before...] Oh right, that Halloween thing. No, it's still July here.

[And then with a rather nice arm gesture there, which makes the tail wag a bit, he smiles a slightly unsettling smile he's trying to get into "character" and points at the table]

Don't worry about it, I've got it handled.

[so_shik]

...you do? [looking at the table and pointedly NOT looking at him my god boy she's going to reem you when Buffy leaves.]

[herotypical]

[She looks from Haruki, to the table, to Shiki--all before finally settling again on Haruki.]

Handled?
