Twenty-Eighth Spools of Thread-[Action]

[so_shik]

[Shiki knows a good business opportunity when she sees one. She's currently sitting behind the counter of All Passions doodling in her journal. Outside is a giant sign taped to the window.]

Custom-made, hand-designed souvenir clothing from Luceti here!

[Because hey, they all have to leave sometime, right? And everybody likes souvenirs.]

[Fuuka peeks in the window, admiring the wares, though a souvenir shop seems a bit odd...]

[so_shik]

[Shiki totally sees you out there, Fuuka, but she won't do anything yet. She just barely loks up to see if she'll come inside.]

[onewhowarns.livejournal.com]

[it takes her a while, but eventually she gets the courage to step inside. She looks around hesitantly.]

Hello?

[so_shik]

[She pretends to be surprised to see this new customer.] Hi.

[onewhowarns.livejournal.com]

Hello...

[stand up, Fuuka. You have self-confidence now.] I'm sorry to intrude. I saw your sign outside.

[so_shik]

Oh, you're not intruding at all! What can I help you with?

[onewhowarns.livejournal.com]

Well... [she's looking around] I don't really know very much about this kind of fashion.

[so_shik]

And that's what I'm here for! [She gets out from behind the counter to go "help".] I'm Shiki. This is my shop.

[onewhowarns.livejournal.com]

It's nice to meet you, Shiki-chan. I'm Fuuka Yamagishi.

[mural.livejournal.com]

HEY SHIKI. I know what you did with Neku in that hotel room.

[so_shik]

What?

[mural.livejournal.com]

Hey don't worry, your secret is safe with me. ♥

[so_shik]

Oh shut up! How do you even know anyway!?

[mural.livejournal.com]

Not telling~! You did just say to shut up.

[so_shik]

...ugh, you must be related to Joshua somehow.

[mural.livejournal.com]

Bzzt, wrong. Actually you could probably say I'm connected with Neku. 8D

[so_shik]

...how.

[two-star-thread.livejournal.com]

[Wat is she doing here... should be um. Alive again but not in this body... also this is NOT Shibuya.

But if it's not then what is Eri doing here?! Shiki stifles a gasp of surprise and ducks back when spots her through the window.]

[so_shik]

[The stalker suddenly feels stalked. Shiki's just going to look up suddenly and peer at the window...what is this.]

[Oh crap did Eri see her?! Shiki holds her breath because that will totally make her less conspicuous when she's OUTSIDE and Eri is INSIDE... automatic reaction.

Don't panic, don't panic. It would be good to just leave... on the other hand she wants to know how Eri is doing.]

<3

[so_shik]

[Shiki...is suspicious. Very, very suspicious. She's almost tempted to get up...and so she does. And she starts heading toward the window because seriously, this is starting to creep her out. If she finds out it's just Joshua though, man, will she be ticked.]

[two-star-thread.livejournal.com]

[Sneaking a look at the window again shows that Eri is up and heading in her direction. Yeah, she's been spotted.

Crap.

Tiny smile and a little wave.]

[so_shik]

[Shiki's going to stop dead in her tracks. What. Is. This. Eri. This...oh man, this is not good. How would you even explain this?! "By the way, I died and took your body, but then I came back but got stuck here in your body still". That probably would go great.

Instead, Shiki's just going to stare and give a weak smile back. Great.]

[two-star-thread.livejournal.com]

[Shiki is thinking... pretty much the exact same thing.

What would be the best way to solve this? Run away? Running away sounds good. Yeah, let's do that...

...stops once she gets around the corner of the building though because wasn't she supposed to STOP doing that? But... this is not how it was supposed to be.]

[so_shik]

[Wait, what? Eri's leaving?

...maybe she thought it was just a reflection. Or maybe she somehow figured it out and really just didn't want to see her at all. Shiki's pondering whether she wants to chase after her, but would it actually help at all? She just stares out the window and looks out, hoping to spot her before she gets too far.]
