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.]

That's nice. [Shrugs and goes back to making her snowmen] I know they're ugly, that's why these are for testing only. If the clothes looked and tested bad, I wouldn't want them on anything good-looking.

[psychebubble]

If you put 'em on something bad, it makes the clothes look bad, too. You can't test without a quality model, too.

It'd probably help if you put the cat down, too.

[so_shik]

Well it's not like I'm going to ask my friends to be dripping wet in this kind of weather just to test them out, so, snowmen. It's not like they can get cold and sick anyway.

It would help, but I'd rather not. So, thanks for the advice, but no thanks.

[psychebubble]

What, you can't get a mannequin?

[so_shik]

Not exactly.

[psychebubble]

Sucks for you, then.

[so_shik]

Yeah, totally sucks for me. [Except not really. This is her break-time considering she was working right up 'til holidays. She doesn't really care that they're ugly snowmen]

[psychebubble]

Anyway, who are you?

[so_shik]

I think the better question is who are you? I've never seen you around here before.

[psychebubble]

That's because I got here today. I asked first, so if you don't answer, I'm gonna start calling you Hat-chan.

[so_shik]

Makes enough sense to me. It'd probably be a lot better to call me Shiki though. There, now you know me, so your turn. You are?

[psychebubble]

Paru works. Shiki's a bit hard to give a nickname too, though.

[so_shik]

That's because I don't need a nickname. But Paru...I can work with that. Nice to meet you.

[psychebubble]

Sure you do.

[so_shik]

I doubt I'd respond to it because I'd forget about it though.

[psychebubble]

Man, that's boring.

Anyway, some guy told me that you give out clothes or something?

[so_shik]

Custom-make, not hand out. I'd sell them if money mattered here, but I closed up early just for today. Who told you anyway?

[psychebubble]

No idea. The asshole introduced himself as James T. Kirk.

[so_shik]

Jim's nice once you get to know him, trust me.

[psychebubble]

Right. So what's his real name?

[so_shik]

He's always introduced himself as James T. Kirk, so I guess even if for some reason that's not his real name, it's real enough.

[psychebubble]

So he's just delusional.

[so_shik]

It kind of just sounds like you're not good at listening. Even if he's really lying about being a space captain and his uniform's a sham, sometimes people just need other people to listen to them.

[psychebubble]

Maybe if he wasn't pretending to be the one I grew up watching on TV.

[so_shik]

Pretending to be the one on TV?
