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?]

I'm usually here or I go to the lake with people.

[flamesofkaraya.livejournal.com]

You've never tried exploring the forest?

[so_shik]

Not really my thing.

[flamesofkaraya.livejournal.com]

I guess not everyone would like that. I think it would be a nice change of scenery as long as we don't go too deep.

[so_shik]

I grew up in a giant city that was mostly buildings, not trees. It would be a nice change of scenery.

[flamesofkaraya.livejournal.com]

I don't think I could stay in a place like that for long. I'm not used to the confined spaces.

[so_shik]

There were a lot of stores and places to go, but you're right, it was kind of confined.

[flamesofkaraya.livejournal.com]

Like a free trade zone? Budehuc was fairly open though, so it was easy enough to adjust.

[so_shik]

I wouldn't call it free, but yeah.

[flamesofkaraya.livejournal.com]

Well, no. We called it a free trade zone since anyone could set up shop there regardless of where they came from as long as they follow the rules. You normally don't find Zexen Shops in Grasslands or vice versa, so it's pretty unique.

[so_shik]

Huh. Then yeah, I guess it's like that.

[flamesofkaraya.livejournal.com]

What do they normally sell there?

[so_shik]

Clothes and music and accessories and food and stuff.

[flamesofkaraya.livejournal.com]

You buy music?

[so_shik]

Yeah, it comes on CDs or in MP3s.

[flamesofkaraya.livejournal.com]

[Curious headtilt.]

[so_shik]

They're...little discs that people record music on so they can listen to it whenever they want.

[flamesofkaraya.livejournal.com]

How do you listen to them like that?

[so_shik]

With MP3 players mostly. And headphones. Minato has both of those here.

[flamesofkaraya.livejournal.com]

I don't think I know him, and I've never heard of those either.

[so_shik]

He's usually here, you should ask him. Since he has an example it'd be easier to explain.

[flamesofkaraya.livejournal.com]

What does he look like?

[so_shik]

Blue hair, he's kinda lanky, usually wearing clothes that don't match...

[flamesofkaraya.livejournal.com]

I don't think I've seen him, but I'll try to talk to him once I do. Is he a friend of yours from here or from your world?

[so_shik]

From here. He's been here almost as long as I have.
