Eighteenth Spool of Thread-[Action]

[so_shik]

[assuming that Rosalie has told Shiki about the POV gun and that she still has it, Shiki's inside house 10 waiting for Rosalie to show up with any of the victims she had shot. The two girls, well, more like Rosalie herself, decided that the people of Luceti needed a makeover and so here Shiki was, trying to figure out why exactly she agreed to actual makeovers at a time like this. While she waits though, she'll be sitting on the couch and staring at the open front door, watching for anybody to come in while working on the beginnings of Tifa's blouses she promised to make]

[ooc: if you would like to pretend that Rosalie shot your character with the POV gun and they were persuaded into doing a makeover, just have them wander on in and Shiki and Rosalie will threadjack from each other and such. If you're just a friend of Shiki's who happens to wander by (this includes housemates), that's cool too.]

Well, you probably noticed one of her triggers, right? Rena's protective of her friends like any other person, y'know? She also doesn't like liars.

[...Pause and now it's time for a bigger bombshell] Well that and the god of their town, Oyashiro-sama.

[so_shik]

...yeah. Yeah, I noticed.

Oyashiro-sama?

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

Well you know how most smaller town or parts of bigger towns have their own gods and stuff, right? Oyashiro-sama's Hinamizawa's god. Rika's the shrine priestess of the town.

A lot of the villagers, including Rena apparently, believe this illness is a curse from their god and one of the things they get cursed for is for leaving Hinamizawa or something like that.

[...A pause. There's one more bombshell he needs to drop...]

[so_shik]

...so what, Rena believes that she's cursed because she got sent here?

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

That's what Rika thinks Rena thinks. [..That sounds retarded] Iunno, I never brought it up with this Rena. The Rena that was here before sure thought like that though. Oh and more importantly...

Hanyuu's Oyashiro-sama.

[so_shik]

...[...hang on. Wait. Waiiiit.] ARE YOU KIDDING ME?!

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

She's got horns under those hats she's always wearing. No lie, I've touched them.

[so_shik]

...does Rena know?

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

Well, she didn't. But Hanyuu and Rika said they were gunna tell her the other day. Apparently Rika didn't think it went well. Y'know that day I dragged you out to practice walking?

[so_shik]

That's why. You wanted to leave so we weren't there if she cracked.

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

[Okay now his voice gets hard and determined] No, so you weren't there. I wanted to be there but Rika kicked me out.

[..Ignoring that he just said he got kicked out by a nine year old]

[so_shik]

...you got kicked out by a child?

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

Whatever. Jeez.

[...And then pause, and a grunt]

So just... be careful or something.

[so_shik]

...are you worried?

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

[Honestly, totally:] 'Course not. Rena's Rena's Rena. That machette's a weird habit and I saw her go crazy before. If I need to, I'll pin her down myself so she can't hurt anyone. Jeez.

[Because if she did that would cause her to be guilty about it later]

[so_shik]

...and if she hurts you when you're doing that?

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

[This is an "are you stupid" directed at the wall because he's still not facing here] She's a member of my Brigade. I'm not gunna die and she's not gunna die and I'm not gunna let her screw things up. And that's that.

[so_shik]

...I guess so. [pushes away from where she's ate and dunks her head under the water to wash her hair out]

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

Anyway, I'm gunna go on a date with Uriko.

[so_shik]

[jerks her head up, probably splashing the back of his head] What?

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

[GUH YOU GOT HIS HAIR ALL WET. He shakes it out like a dog]

Well you said to consider these things or something, right? And maybe'll make her shut up or something about all this... stuff. 'Sides, might be fun.

[...And it might distract him form his ungodly loneliness]

[so_shik]

[ow, okay. Since we're not GOOD ENOUGH to fill that slot for you] Yeah but...okay one might turn into two, and then three, and soon you're going steady with a were-cat.

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

[...What.] Are you a moron or something? Do you know how many girlfriends I went through in middle school? Jeez.

[Now Shiki's going to get all jealous isn't she?]

[so_shik]

[You already knew that from the POV gun though :(]

A lot more than anybody else I know probably, I bet you've even gone through more boyfriends than I have.

Face it, Haruki, this isn't middle school. This is a place where stuff really does matter and people aren't your playthings just because you can.

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

[...Guh. You had to word it like that. Damned if you're naked in a tub that pissed him off. He's turning around now to glare her in eyes there, his face contorting into something almost like real anger. It's different than his glares even]

Do you think I don't know that?! Do you think I want to still be in love with some stupid, boring, idiotic, deadpan, flat, ponytail-loving, short, unattractive, untalented, apathetic girl who isn't even here?! Do you think I want chicks confessing to me all over the place right after that girl leaves?!

Do you think that I asked for this crap?!
