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?]

[Headtilt and a confused hum. She's not sure what you mean, as she doesn't go shopping.]

[so_shik]

...you know, like getting stuff from the shops? [Shiki doesn't grasp this concept]

[mermaidofnoel.livejournal.com]

[Oh okay! She nods enthusiastically in understanding.]

[so_shik]

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

[mermaidofnoel.livejournal.com]

[She tilts her head curiously, then tugs at the sleeves of the pseudo-gothic-lolita dress she was wearing. Could you make designs like this?]

[so_shik]

Hmm...[Give her a second to look it over.] Cute...I could probably replicate it, if you want.

[mermaidofnoel.livejournal.com]

[Her eyes twitch in happiness as she lets a very cheerful song, happy with that thought. She then reached into her bag and pulled out a nun's outfit, trying to ask her if she can make something like this of Razette's size.]

[so_shik]

What's this? [Shiki's going to raise an eyebrow and unfold it, just...gawking. The hell?] ...you're sure?

[mermaidofnoel.livejournal.com]

[Happy nodding!]

[so_shik]

I...guess I can do that, too.

[mermaidofnoel.livejournal.com]

[Yay! Have a hug for that, Shiki.]

[so_shik]

[OH HI. Shiki is surprised but, she'll allow it.] It's not a problem.

[mermaidofnoel.livejournal.com]

[She pulls away for a while then points to Shikki, trying to ask for a name.]

[so_shik]

I'm Shiki. And you are?

[mermaidofnoel.livejournal.com]

[She pulls out her journal from her bag and shows it to Shiki. Here! Have Razette spelled out on the cover in handwriting similar to a child's.]

[so_shik]

...Razette? Cute.

[mermaidofnoel.livejournal.com]

[She lets out a cheerful hum in confirmation.]

[so_shik]

Well, Razette. Let me know if there's anything else you want made, okay?

[mermaidofnoel.livejournal.com]

[She nods enthusiastically at that, but um... well, she didn't exactly know what else to ask for so she'll just give you a hug again. Besides, she'll need to run back to the nearest river anyway, since her two hours are almost up.]

[so_shik]

[Pfff. Shiki'll just give her a headpat since she has no idea what to say.]

[mermaidofnoel.livejournal.com]

[Well, that was good enough. Though now that she's starting to feel the effects of being out of the water, Razette will just pull away and give her a bow to say that she needs to leave. Maybe she'll see you around, Shiki!]

[so_shik]

[She...sort of gets what's going on, so she just nods and waves.] See you later.
