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.]

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?

[psychebubble]

What, you've never heard of Star Trek?

[so_shik]

I didn't really care I guess.

[psychebubble]

"James T. Kirk" is the captain of a starship in a TV show I watched when I was younger. How stupid is this place if he hasn't been called on that until now?

[so_shik]

Very, apparently. If you're more focused on that though, I'm a little worried.

[psychebubble]

There is a lot that's pissing me off here. That was just what's relevant to the conversation.

[so_shik]

I don't know if anybody bothered telling you or not, but there's a lot of different worlds and universes out there that everybody's from. Jim's probably from a universe where what he's got going is real, and you're from one where he's fake. It's hard to say who's actually right.

[psychebubble]

... Do you listen to yourself, or is this just some sort of verbal bulimia?

[so_shik]

Does it really matter? If you don't like it, leave my house.

[psychebubble]

Hm, but you're pretty fun.

[so_shik]

I'm not sure I can say the same about you yet.

[psychebubble]

If you could, I'd be doing something wrong.

[so_shik]

So what, you can be more or less annoying depending on the situation?

[psychebubble]

Depends on if I have a reason not to be.

[so_shik]

[A shrug] Makes enough sense to me.

[psychebubble]

So, you got a reason?
