Twenty-Seven Spools of Thread-[Action]

[so_shik]

[Thanks to the help of one Minato Arisato, the front of All Passions is now decorated with a bunch of garland and fake snowflakes and such. Sitting on the porch is a large tree (where Shiki got it from...don't ask) decorated with brightly-colored ornaments and standing on her ladder is Shiki herself.

Today's she's busy hanging up a new sign in the front window.

Now taking special orders for Christmas.

Dare you say anything?]

[Hi, Shiki. It's your decorator monkey.

...He's not saying anything, though. Wouldn't want to startle you while you're on a ladder.]

[so_shik]

[Sup decorator monkey. Shiki's going to tack a corner of her sign up before realizing that she doesn't have enough tacks...and down off the ladder she comes. She doesn't really look too surprised to see you there, Minato]

Hey.

[emp3thy]

[and holding up the box of tacks.] Hey.

-Rohan strolls up all scarfed out in his winter gear.-

Don't usually see the harajuku shops get so festive... it's honestly a nice departure.

[so_shik]

[Looks down at him from her ladder, then grinning.]

Yeah, I know. I was looking through some decorating books in the library the other day and this looked really cool so...here I am. Besides, I figure everybody would at least appreciate the bright colors and stuff even if they don't celebrate the holiday, especially after last week.

I could try doing a few winter themed murals for you to top it off.

[And here is one (1) Akihiko taking a walk, stopping to admire the festive look the shop's taken on.]

Hey, looks pretty good. Did you decorate it yourself?

[so_shik]

[Turning and oh hey Mr-Knock-the-Head-Off-of-the-Scarecrow.]

For the most part, but Minato helped me out, too.

[praise-indeed.livejournal.com]

He's good to have around, huh?

[He clears his throat a bit, gesturing to the sign she's hung up] So you're taking special orders for Christmas?

[neverplaysfair]

Don't fall.

[so_shik]

[Oh. It's you.]

Wasn't planning on it.

[neverplaysfair]

I'd certainly be worried if you were.

[He'll just wait for you to get down from there, Shikki, though the message does catch his eye.]

[so_shik]

[Dooown the ladder then. OH HEY.]

Hey, Ted.

[300yrswandering.livejournal.com]

Hey Shiki.

Did something special occur? [He motions to the sign, curious.]

[fightlikeacow.livejournal.com]

[Guybrush examines the sign]

Special orders for Christmas...

They must make the clothes themselves, where else could they order them from?

[so_shik]

[Shiki hears talking! Thus she'll turn on her ladder to look]

I also make stuffed animals, too. But yeah, mostly just clothes.

[mermaidofnoel.livejournal.com]

[Headtilt at the sign. She can't really read it save for a few letters, so she'll wait for you to come down and explain to her.]

[so_shik]

[Climbing down, climbing dow-fjkdsjalk hello there! Razette you just freaked her out since you didn't say anything and suddenly you're just there.]

Whoa, hey!

[hazelrink.livejournal.com]

[And Charlotte... will be popping up to say hi!!]

Hello Shiki!

[so_shik]

[Tips her head back to look]

Charlotte, hey! How are you?

[flamesofkaraya.livejournal.com]

[Seeing as he's never actually checked All Passions before, Hugo will just look at the sign curiously.] Special orders for what?

[so_shik]

For Christmas. Presents, specifically.

[Albert stands outside of All Passions, looking contemplative. He's reminded of the gift-giving from last year.]

[so_shik]

[Shiki gets the distinct feeling of being watched...so she turns and looks.] ...hi?
