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.]

Ugh, I do have some standards, Buffy. Spandex? Really?

[action]

[herotypical]

Okay. Let me see if I got this straight. In your crazy Shiki-land, spandex is somehow more awful than walking around butt naked?

[DISBELIEF.]

[action]

[so_shik]

...well yeah, spandex is tacky.

No disagreement here. I mean, sure, there was this really horrible few weeks in the late nineties where I might have trained a bit in spandex but, hey, I claim Slayertastic immunity.

But if spandex is tacky, nakedness is just a little too--oh, I don't know--crazy.

...because you're my friend, I'll forgive you for running around in spandex before I met you.

Trust me, the nakedness isn't such a bad thing.

Birthday suits have times and places. Like, bedrooms and skinny dipping. This time and this place? Neither of those.

I've got the jacket on, okay? Isn't that enough?

[action]

[herotypical]

That jacket is gonna stay on, right?

[action]

[so_shik]

...probably?

[action]

[herotypical]

That's it, girl. March, 'cause I am taking you home and we are ransacking your closet for something a little more in the same galaxy as decent.

[so_shik]

But what about Minato's jacket?!

[action]

[herotypical]

It can wait. Believe me.

Ugh, fine, whatever I'll go. [She'll just come back when Buffy's gone, obviously]
