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

[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.]

I don't think they are either. [At least she's being honest?] If you're really looking for a hat though, we've got a bunch more in the back that Molly made.

Oh, Molly made these? [He sighs, remembering that she was sent home.]

I probably don't need one, I already have the one she made for me.

[She gets what that sigh means.] Yeah. She was working for me for a while. She was actually really good. What'd she make for you already?

[He did not know this. Huh.]

She made me a wolf helmet, like the ones from back home.

[She's just...going to stare for a second, though her expression clearly says something along the lines of, "What the hell?"] A wolf helmet being a helmet shaped like a wolf, or am I way off?

[Sokka is oblivious to that kind of stuff. Or mostly he doesn't care.] That's right. I have it over at the smithy if you want me to grab it.

If you wouldn't mind, sure. Humor me a bit.

Alright. Be back in a few minutes. [And out the door he goes.]

[Aaaand he returns a few minutes later, with not only the helmet, but his armor thrown on top of his tunic as well.]

I'm back.

[And cuuuue staring.]

Um. Is this considered...you know, normal where you're from?

Well it's not exactly casual clothing. This is what the warriors from my tribe wear when we go to war.

Looks effective enough. Definitely different than other types of armor I've seen. You don't have to wear it a lot, do you? [That is to say, how often do you people have to go to war anyway.]

[He pulls the helmet off.]

I've had to wear it a few times, but only when going into battle.

You haven't been drafted for the war going on here, have you?

No, not yet. But I did volunteer.

Are you actually hoping to go though?

... if they pick me, I won't fight it. But... I'd be fine if they didn't.

That's all I wanted to know. Some people really do want to go, so sometimes you never know.

Well, I've had enough battles to last me a good long time.

You and me both, trust me. It was bad enough when there was that war here last summer.

I heard about that. I guess you've been here for awhile, huh?

About...fifteen months or so now, yeah. It's been way too long.

[He blinks at that. He knew there was people who had been here a long time. Albert and Raine, for instance. But no one around his age.]

... that's a long time.

Tell me about it. A couple of my friends have been here almost as long though.

I'm going to guess you haven't been here nearly as long.

I'm going on to five months now. It seemed like a long time.
