Thirty-Fourth Spool of Thread-[Voice/Action]

[so_shik]

[Shiki's currently busy moving things around in her shop, rearranging new displays on either side of the door. These displays? Well, they're hats, specifically ones that Molly made before she left and Shiki herself is wearing a new hat instead of her usual one.]

...I always knew that girl was smarter than most. Hope she made it back okay.

Just as a heads up? All Passions now has a whole new line of hats for the summer. Think of this as a PSA.

[She's going to continue derping around for a bit before she'll turn around the sign to read "closed" and get ready to go home. Feel free to either come into the shop before she closes and turns off the lights, or catch her on the way home. Of course, she'll be seeking out a few people when she gets back to House 10 as well...]

[[ooc: I'll keep up with these threads as much as possible for the next few days, but assume that after everything in this post wraps up, Shiki got kidnapped. I'll leave it up to Neku.]

[She's just going to follow him in and sit on the bed. You know. Since it's there.]

[so_shik]

And a bending art is?

[so_shik]

...I guess you would be the one to know what you're doing, huh?

[soundfrequency]

[Standing for now.]

...who left?

[Action]

[so_shik]

...her name's Molly. She was helping me at the shop for a while, really nice kid. She organized that Easter egg hunt earlier this spring and she was making hats for the shop.

*Follows!*

I'm a little surprised you're going along with this.

[markofthewise]

The simple explanation is it's magic. The longer explanation is that it's better.

Hope so. Been hangin' around the UG long enough that I've seen stuff a bit like this, and it can go either way. ...you just try and keep the boyfriend cheered up, and I can handle Josh. Sound good?

[so_shik]

The longer I stay here, the less surprising things become. So which are you?

[Action]

[so_shik]

Maybe I'm feeling a little generous. [It also helps she's a little depressed about Molly still.]

[ action ]

[so_shik]

I'm pretty good at that. I'll do what I can. Just...be careful anyway, okay?

[Action]

[psychebubble]

Well, whatever, it works for me!

[Action]

[markofthewise]

... none of the above.

[Action]

[so_shik]

...bending arts aren't something everybody can do?

[ action ]

[nattocat.livejournal.com]

...will do. Thanks, sister.

[Action]

[markofthewise]

You have to be born with it.

[ action ]

[so_shik]

Anytime. [She's just going to wave and turn back in the direction she was headed.] And I won't tell Neku any of this.

[Action]

[so_shik]

You can't even learn? Ugh, totally lame.

[Action]

[markofthewise]

Pretty much. [Being the normal guy is lame.] It helps to find something else to be good at.

[Action]

[so_shik]

Not when you're probably surrounded by people who can do it. Just saying.

[Action]

[markofthewise]

Well yeah. But I've known plenty of nonbenders who are just as good if not better in a battle against a bender.

[ action ]

[nattocat.livejournal.com]

He knows plenty already. Don't go keeping secrets on my account.

[ But he smiles a little and returns the wave. ]

Seeya 'round.

[Action]

[so_shik]

Just saying. That's all. It's not like I have a lot of battle experience anyway. [Which is somewhat true, anyway.]

[Action]

[markofthewise]

Yeah, I know. [He is well aware it sucks, woman! Stop rubbing salt into that wound!]

[Action]

[soundfrequency]

...well, at least she doesn't have to be stuck here anymore.
