Thirtieth Spool of Thread

[so_shik]

[Determined to return Minato's jacket that he let her borrow to get home, Shiki's out walking through town carrying the jacket. It's been cleaned and all, but she's got it folded up instead of wearing it.

What is she wearing? Her boots, her hat...and that's just about it. Shiki's decided that leading a fashion protest is in her best interests. People should recognize inner beauty before clothes after all.

For the love of everything, please stop her and make her put clothes on.]

Maybe, but that doesn't mean I won't ask at all. So?

Vampire hunter.

[so_shik]

...have you met Buffy Summers since you've been here, by chance?

[derek-bliss.livejournal.com]

Actually, yeah. We've talked a few times. You know her?

[so_shik]

She's one of my close friends here, yeah. So you can see why I'm not too concerned.

[derek-bliss.livejournal.com]

Ah, all right. I'll remember that. [He gives Shiki a grin] Wouldn't want you two to gang up on me.

[so_shik]

Probably a wise decision.

[Derek's grin gets wider for a moment]

So how do you usually spend your time here?

[so_shik]

You probably wouldn't believe me if I told you.

[derek-bliss.livejournal.com]

Try me.

[so_shik]

I make and design clothes. I own one of the shops here.

[There's a pause and then a brief chuckle from him.]

You know, considering how this week has been? I'm not surprised.

[so_shik]

'How this week has been'?

[derek-bliss.livejournal.com]

Lot of strange things going on. But then, I'm new, so it's all pretty strange for me.

[so_shik]

...[thinking this over, that's true] I didn't even realize it.

[derek-bliss.livejournal.com]

I think...a lot of people didn't.

[so_shik]

Probably not, but still. It's getting insane.

[derek-bliss.livejournal.com]

[Derek nods in agreement]

I just hope no one gets hurt from it.

[so_shik]

I hope so, too. I'm sure everybody will be fine though.

[derek-bliss.livejournal.com]

What's the worse experiment you've been around for, out of curiosity.

[so_shik]

The worst? Probably what happened in May...

[derek-bliss.livejournal.com]

What happened?

[so_shik]

The elemental spirits possessed a bunch of people, the powercap was off I think...it was a mess.

[derek-bliss.livejournal.com]

Sounds like it.

Wait...'power cap'?

[so_shik]

People's powers from their world are halved here.
