Thirty-Third Spool of Thread-[Written/Action]

[so_shik]

[Considering that the weather's fairly decent today, Shiki's decided today is a good day to spend outside. For anybody who's known her long enough, they might recognize the crate that she's sitting on as the one she used to use before the porch around the shop was built. Today, she's facing the shop and just looking it over, sketching out some things on a piece of paper. Soon enough though, she starts writing a message to the community]

I think I know the obvious answer, but where would be the best place to get fresh flowers when I'm ready for them? And, you know, planters and dirt and stuff.

Also, the spring line's just about finished if anybody needs something for the new season.

Oh, go on, tell me.

[written]

[so_shik]

You say that now, but you have an entirely different plan up your sleeve. I'm not stupid.

[written]

[psychebubble]

No, tell me how I work, I'm curious what you think.

[written]

[so_shik]

...just like that? That's pretty self-explanatory.

[written]

[psychebubble]

Really?

[written]

[so_shik]

Something like that, sure. You're trying to trick me so that I don't find out what you're really hiding.

[written]

[psychebubble]

Clever, but you're outsmarting yourself.

If it'll help you take the deal, you can ask whatever now and I'll answer, and we can dress you up later.

[written]

[so_shik]

I do that from time to time.

I think I'll take that deal, sure. Would you rather do that in person though, or filter, or...?

[written]

[psychebubble]

In-person's easier. Where are you?

[written]

[so_shik]

At my shop. You know where that is, don't you?

[written/action]

[psychebubble]

Yeah, I'll be there in a bit.

*And true to her word, she shows up in roughly ten minutes.*

[action]

[so_shik]

[And like most people, Paru will find Shiki sitting on a wooden crate in front of the shop, staring at the porch and sketching and trying to plot where to put her flowers and such. Oh, and her bff Mr. Mew is sitting with her too. She soon notices something out of the corner of her ey-oh hey.] Hi. That was fast.

[action]

[psychebubble]

It's not like I had anything important to do here.

[action]

[so_shik]

Most people don't. [Getting off of the crate and grabbing Mr. Mew] Come on in.

[action]

[psychebubble]

Did you make that stuffed thing?

*In they go /o/*

[action]

[so_shik]

Mr. Mew? Yeah, he's the first thing I ever made. He's kind of got the sentimental value thing.

[action]

[psychebubble]

That's a creative name for something so sentimental.

[action]

[so_shik]

He was also made a few years ago. And even with his name, Neku doesn't like acknowledging he's a cat.

[action]

[psychebubble]

Neku? A boyfriend?

[action]

[so_shik]

Best friend, boyfriend, kind of all in one.

[action]

[psychebubble]

Won't ask how that works.

[action]

[so_shik]

A lot of work, but worth it.

...but this totally isn't about me. Stop changing the subject.

[action]

[psychebubble]

That's too accusatory, I was just making conversation.

So, go ahead.

[action]

[so_shik]

Fair...so, why would you think me liking the way you think is a bad thing, exactly?

[action]

[psychebubble]

Well, it's different. People aren't supposed to like me.
