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?]

[Er. ...He doesn't know what would be suitable.] Blouses? Winter sweaters?

[action]

[so_shik]

...for you? Or...?

[action]

[chikaidestroyer]

[... ...Mental facepalm.] Women's blouse. Boy's sweater. I suppose I could get samples for sizes, if necessary. [Yeah, that doesn't sound strange at all.]

[action]

[so_shik]

I might already have some stuff made up you can look at, if you want.

[action]

[chikaidestroyer]

[He nods.] That may be easier; I'll do that. [pause] Then I suppose I could make another request for myself. [Raine had suggested he do this quite awhile back.]

Would you be able to make a copy of my coat?

[action]

[so_shik]

[Okay you know, Shiki's just going to head to the front door of the shop and motion for Albert to follow.] Come on in. [And she nods at the other question as well.] I've copied stuff before, as long as I've got a good enough reference.

[emp3thy]

It does.

[Now that they're stopped, he's looking up at the sky where the snow is still falling.]

[so_shik]

At least you know what I mean.

[action]

[chikaidestroyer]

[This is somehow a little awkward. It may have something to do with the fact that Shiki is an actual storekeeper after ... well, no storekeepers or vacant-minded ones. Albert follows her inside.] I could let you borrow the coat for awhile. Would that work?

[action]

[so_shik]

[Oh, Shiki can be vacant-minded sometimes, but right now she's pretty focused on what she's doing. Once they're inside though, she'll just gesture to the sales floor with the racks of different clothes.] That'd be perfect, actually.

[mutsukabezaka.livejournal.com]

Any time, Shiki.

[action]

[chikaidestroyer]

[It's pretty obvious that Albert's never stepped into Shiki's store. He's looking at the more obviously modern-inspired clothes with faint curiosity.] You've quite an impressive selection.

[action]

[so_shik]

Thanks. I kind of try to make a little of everything. [While Albert's busy looking, Shiki's going to make some notes on her little notepad.]

You know... they're red and fuzzy and skin tight...?

[Finding something for Genis is fairly simple. The boy seems to prefer blue, and the styles are nice.

...Raine's more difficult. Maybe he should just get ... gloves or something.]

[so_shik]

...what would you need that for?

[action]

[so_shik]

Can I ask who you're shopping for? That might help.

[300yrswandering.livejournal.com]

I haven't decided yet, but I'll head back here when I figure it out.

[OOC: Randomly, since I'm about to run off for hiatus, is it okay to assume whatever Ted would ask was made by Shikki? :o?]

[so_shik]

Sounds like a plan.

[ooc: fine by me!]

[mermaidofnoel.livejournal.com]

[Oh okay! She nods enthusiastically in understanding.]

[flamesofkaraya.livejournal.com]

I've never heard of that holiday before.

[chikaidestroyer]

The Sage siblings -- Professor Sage and Genis. [Still looking, though he does manage to comment dryly as he searches.] Giving a stack of parchment paper hardly seems like much of a gift.

[so_shik]

That's what I do here. I sell clothes.

[so_shik]

Really?

[action]

[so_shik]

Ohh okay, gotcha. I don't know either of them too well, I mean I go to school so I see Professor Sage a lot and Genis is around but. You're right, parchment's totally not a good present.
