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?]

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.

[so_shik]

Yeah, it's really starting to feel more civilized here.

[emp3thy]

But there's still no entertainment.

[so_shik]

Entertainment?

[emp3thy]

Movies, arcades...

[so_shik]

Stuff that requires electricity.

[emp3thy]

Yeah.

[so_shik]

And then I remember why I hate it here sometimes.

[emp3thy]

Mm. [Shiki don't talk like that :(]

[so_shik]

It's so annoying. If we could figure out a way to make an electricity current, it'd be so much easier! I know Faize was working on it, but...

[emp3thy]

Let's hope someone can take over.

[so_shik]

We'll see about that.

[emp3thy]

[He looks around at the decorations.] What now?

[so_shik]

Not sure yet. I was thinking about taking a break for a while.

[emp3thy]

Want to head somewhere?

[so_shik]

I was thinking about it, yeah. Where to?

[emp3thy]

Just for a walk. Unless you're hungry.

[so_shik]

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

[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.
