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?]

For Christmas. Presents, specifically.

[emp3thy]

Just for a walk. Unless you're hungry.

[300yrswandering.livejournal.com]

That's true.

So are all those special orders for clothes?

[She nods, then points to the sign. What does it say?]

[flamesofkaraya.livejournal.com]

What's Christmas?

[mutsukabezaka.livejournal.com]

Seeing as we've got a traditional look going on... I'll see what I can explore. I expect you want it colorful?

[neverplaysfair]

You got a little sneak preview already. [ Wasn't planning on it ]

[so_shik]

No, a walk sounds good. Let's do that.

[so_shik]

More or less. I can't really make anything else. I'm just hoping people take advantage of it.

[so_shik]

That? Oh, it's just announcing we're having a sale. Or...as much of a sale you can have for a place that doesn't technically sell anything. You can't sell if everything's free.

[so_shik]

...you don't know what Christmas is? [Because, no, that thought never occurred to her ever.]

[so_shik]

Probably not too outrageously colorful this time. I trust your judgment though.

[so_shik]

...tch.

[emp3thy]

[He steps off the porch, then, ready when she is.]

[so_shik]

[Hops off the porch ready to follow him. Lead the way, big bro.]

[emp3thy]

[He meanders towards the edge of the village once she starts to follow. It's a nice day, even though it's snowy.... although walking through town these days isn't much better than walking through a field. He misses snowplows.]

[so_shik]

[Happily following right behind him, never mind the fact that it's hard to walk in the snow.] Wonder how much snow we're going to get.

[emp3thy]

It started early...

[so_shik]

Yeah...and it's not like there're people around to get rid of it, either.

[emp3thy]

Let's hope we're not snowed in.

[so_shik]

You don't think that would really happen, do you?

[emp3thy]

It's not melting.

[so_shik]

...true.

[emp3thy]

I'll shovel you out.

[fightlikeacow.livejournal.com]

Yeah, that'd be good. My old one was long and blue, with red lining. But I mostly just need something warm.
