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.]

You must be pretty good by now, though. Did you make all this stuff yourself?

I did. Except for Molly's hats, obviously, but yeah, the rest of these are mine. I've wanted to be a designer for a really long time. This just seemed like perfect practice.

[He glances around at them.]

They're all very... interesting. [In other words, he doesn't get the styles. At all.]

Interesting's one word for it. But this is actually considered normal where I'm from, believe it or not.

[He shrugs.] I guess I've seen other people wearing similar stuff. We're not really undercover here, though. So I haven't had to worry about actually trying any of this stuff out.

This isn't exactly stuff to wear undercover anyway.

Well, if I was to go to... wherever you're from and I was a wanted person, I'd want to dress up in these kind of clothes to avoid standing out.

[...it's official. Sokka just outsmarted Shiki somehow.] Shibuya. And I never even though of it like that.

[He didn't even realize it was a contest!] Well, I had to do that once. We spent over a month running around in red clothes. [He points up at his 'wolf tail'.] And I had to wear a top knot. I hate those.

[IN THAT CASE...either way, she was following up until the last bit] And a top knot is?

Oh, it's well... more like this. [He lets his hair drop for a moment, then bundles it up in his hand again and moves it to the top of his head, holding it together with his thumb and index finger.] See?

Ah...totally not flattering, not gonna lie.

[He puts his hair back in the right way.]

Yup, I tell you. Fire Nation guys. No style at all.

[Good Sokka.]

I'm guessing the Fire Nation is some kind of district?

Uh, no. It's a whole nation. Hence the 'nation' part of the name.

[Hey man, it made sense to her.] And next you're going to tell me there's earth, water, and air nations, too.

Yeah yeah. [He waves a hand dismissively.] I know, we're predictable.

What's the reasoning behind that one?

It's just how it is. But mostly it's because there are four types of bending arts and each nation has benders of that type.

And a bending art is?

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

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

... none of the above.

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

You have to be born with it.
