Twenty-Ninth Spools of Thread-[Action]

[so_shik]

[Rare as it may be, today for once Shiki's not at All Passions, the store's actually locked up tight for now. Instead she's derping around in the front yard of House Ten making snowmen.

...very...fashionable snowmen, as a matter of fact. Thanks to her free time, she's created a lot of winter clothes and now she's putting them on the snowmen to make House Ten look a little more open.

She's moving sort of slow though since she's got Mr. Mew in one arm and can only roll the snowballs with one hand. Come say hi, she'll welcome the chance to be social.]

[You can bet someone's going to pop up by her eventually. He took the long route, since he didn't realize All Passions was going to be closed today.]

[so_shik]

[doot doot doot...Shiki's just wandering around the front yard of House Ten with Mr. Mew trying to make another base for a snowman to join the other four already made. She doesn't quite notice Minato yet though]

[emp3thy]

[then he's just going to... start walking along behind her and see how long it takes her to realize he's there.]

[so_shik]

[Probably a while...actually it's a good couple of minutes that she's rolling this snowball around before she turns to move it to another track of snow. It's about then she realizes there's somebody following her and she jumps in surprise, tripping over the snowball and falling behind it]

[emp3thy]

[That was actually kind of adorable, Shiki, though he didn't mean to startle her that badly. He walks over and offers one gloved hand to pull her back to her feet.]

Sorry.

[There's going to be a blue, heavily-bundled-up anthropomorph admiring your snowmen, Shiki. Actually, he'll be mostly looking at the clothing on them.]

...Do you usually dress your snowmen up like that?

[so_shik]

[She stops rolling the snow around and looks up. ...whoa, hey there. But whatever, this isn't strange at all.]

Not usually, but I figured if they were going to be in front of the house they should look good, too.

[keusrai.livejournal.com]

Fair enough, I guess. [Poking at one of the snowmen.] These are nice clothes, though; aren't you worried about ruining them?

[so_shik]

Not really. [She's just watching him poke at her snowmen. They're pretty solid and they all look different] I'm mostly testing out how they fare against the snow. If they get wrecked, I'll just start over.

[psychebubble]

Any reason you're getting all those clothes as waterlogged as you can?

[so_shik]

For testing, what else?

[psychebubble]

Idiocy? There's better ways of testing, that don't involve bad snowmen.

[so_shik]

...okay? I don't think the snowmen are the point.

[soundfrequency]

...what are you doing?

[Was on his way out of the house to go... somewhere. Yeah.]

[so_shik]

Testing some new designs to see how well they work with wet and cold. I didn't think you'd want me to strip you in the snow, right?

[soundfrequency]

N-no! Please don't.

[Still, he instinctively takes a few steps back.]

[so_shik]

Oh come on, Neku. [She's pulling a pair of pants out from a bag sitting near one of the snowmen] These are your size and they're way warmer than the ones you have one. [Stalker-Shiki is stalking suddenly, just to tease him a bit we hope.]

[karatebunny.livejournal.com]

[Looks around at the snowmen fashion show.]

Ano ne, where did you find all these clothes~?

[so_shik]

[Hi there tiny blond kid who's much older than she is]

I made them.

[karatebunny.livejournal.com]

Eh? All of these? ... it must have taken forever ne~!

[so_shik]

Not really forever, but a while. I work fast though.

[If I could remember to check my kids' flists more than every once in a while I'd have replied to this on time, I swear. Regardless, Tear is out and about wandering in the snow, and spots Shiki and her adorable snowmen. She pauses, clearing her throat to make her presence known before she actually speaks because it's been almost two weeks, I think she can be allowed to talk again now.]

Are they models?

[so_shik]

[At least you announced your presence, Tear, unlike some people. Shiki looks pretty damn pleased with herself though.]

Finally somebody gets it! They have other purposes too, but modeling's part of it.

[mystearical.livejournal.com]

[We're not fond of being snuck up on ourselves, so we may as well extend the courtesy. Tear tilts her head inquisitively. What other purposes could a mound of snow in clothing have other than modeling?]

[so_shik]

I'm fabric-testing.
