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 no you just did not.*

Horrible? It was in no way!

[action]

[so_shik]

Have you ever seen dead people?

[action]

[psychebubble]

Considering they're dead, no I haven't.

Unless you mean a corpse, then yeah, a few.

[action]

[so_shik]

They're not corpses, and they're not ghosts. It's different.

[action]

[psychebubble]

Zombies are corpses, too.

[action]

[so_shik]

Not zombies either. It's different. Zombies are flesh-eating freaks.

[action]

[psychebubble]

That depends on the movie.

Anyway, gonna explain?

[action]

[so_shik]

I'm not talking about a movie though, I'm talking about real life. That's what I'm explaining.

[action]

[psychebubble]

'Real' appears to be a variable here. Just hurry up and explain it.

[action]

[so_shik]

I was dead for three weeks and came back to life. How about that?

[action]

[psychebubble]

Well...

*Reaches out and pokes any handy exposed skin of Shiki's.*

[action]

[so_shik]

What? [Why are you poking that is not helpful D:]

[action]

[psychebubble]

Checking if you're a ghost.

[action]

[so_shik]

Didn't I say I came back to life? Come on.

[action]

[psychebubble]

So you did.

*Snickering at you, though.*

[action]

[so_shik]

What? [This is srs bsnss :| Shiki doesn't usually tell people she used to be dead]

[action]

[psychebubble]

So, how'd it happen? *... she'll appreciate this if she ever gets better. ;.;*

[action]

[so_shik]

How'd what happen?

[action]

[psychebubble]

Your death and subsequent revival. Aren't the dead supposed to reincarnate into a new life?

[action]

[so_shik]

...when did this turn into the topic of me instead of you? I don't think so.

[action]

[psychebubble]

I'm a professional actress, you're the one living out a Togashi manga. You're the more interesting subject here.

But I guess I can wait. Where were we, then?

[action]

[so_shik]

About people lying to you. Then you started asking why I was curious.

...and I'm not living in a manga.

[action]

[psychebubble]

You died and came back, didn't you? That either makes you a religion or a manga or something.

Any other questions on that, then?

[action]

[so_shik]

You never really answered my question. Who lied to you? People aren't just born cynics.

[action]

[psychebubble]

Well... Who did, huh?

*There's a long pause, as if she's thinking, or trying to remember.*
