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?]

[emp3thy]

Maybe. [or just think you are colorblind]

[so_shik]

Or even blue. Blue might go better, and it's more fun than plain white lights.

[emp3thy]

I like blue.

[so_shik]

...well I know you do.

[emp3thy]

[Deadpan nod. It would be a problem if he didn't.]

Would it go with the rest?

[so_shik]

Well...[gets down from her ladder and glances at the decorating job] Green's a spin-off of blue, which automatically means blue goes with green, everything goes with white, and the red of the ornaments will compliment the blue really nicely. So...yeah, I don't see why not?

[emp3thy]

Then you should do it.

[so_shik]

If I can find the lights first.

...maybe when Neku comes back, he can help me look.

[emp3thy]

Yeah.

[Oh, Shiki... That guy almost gives you more trouble than he's worth.]

[so_shik]

Hopefully they bring him back soon. They usually don't keep them for a long time, right?

[Yes, but she likes him anyway =\]

[emp3thy]

Right.

[Which is why Minato won't say anything.]

[so_shik]

Good.

...hey. Have you been to that new café yet?

[emp3thy]

Yes, once.

[so_shik]

So you already met Mr. H?

[emp3thy]

The owner? We didn't really talk. [since it was a meeting with Alfons.]

[so_shik]

He's really cool, you should.

[emp3thy]

You know him?

[so_shik]

He's a friend from home.

[emp3thy]

I'll say hello.

[so_shik]

Good. Neku knows more about Mr. H than I do.

[emp3thy]

How'd you meet?

[aka is he another dead person]

[so_shik]

He helped us out in the UG.

[So...mostly, yeah.]

[emp3thy]

Ah.

[so_shik]

He had a shop back home, too.

[emp3thy]

It's nice having restaurants again.
