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.]

You still got shot though, Mr. H. I don't see how you can just brush it off like it's nothing.

Not sure how well I can answer that.

[ Hanekoma isn't even angry over it; that wore off pretty fast, faded to sadness or regret or whatever it is he's dealing with. It's why he's been so determined to avoid the guy, lately. Suffered through one attempt at a civil conversation, and that was enough for him. ]

I should've been expecting it. Should've been able to prevent it, too. It's like -- didn't Phones nearly off you, once, and you still forgave him for it?

I--that's totally different! Joshua's just...and Neku's...it's just different, okay?

Is it? You trusted your partner and now I'm trusting mine.

[ Trying to, at least. It's not easy when Josh doesn't trust him in return. ]

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

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?

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

...will do. Thanks, sister.

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.

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

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

Seeya 'round.
