...you know, I'm just going to get straight to the point. [Hello, Luceti. If you happen to be looking at your journal today, you might see a redhead in the middle of All Passions. One side of the shop has been completely reorganized and cleared, almost as if the space has been split in half.]

I'll be the first to say I'm totally a people person. I can respect all of you that are antisocial and whatever, but that's just not me. I kind of need people around. So that being said, I'm renting out a bit of space in my shop. [She moves her journal, proudly displaying the area. Granted, her side is a little cramped now and has clothing racks, shelves and display tables smushed together, but details. Since letting Minato set up his dark room in her storage closet, she had to really get creative with how she organized.] I'm thinking about rotating it out if multiple people are interested. You know, someone could have it two days a week, someone else three, whatever. If you thing you could use the space, let me know. I'm pretty negotiable.

In the same line of thinking, I'm taking on apprentices! I'm really serious about it this time, I want to teach. I want to do something to benefit other people, I guess. I really would like to get a small enough group together to kind of have a little class and not just individual lessons. If you want to learn how to design and sew, come find me. I'm at All Passions.

[For those who are pretty close to Shiki, they might notice that over the last couple of months she's been working herself pretty much non-stop to distract herself from the fact that Neku's gone and hasn't come back. Then all the weird stuff with Haruki and Winry went down...it's just been kind of a mess. In trying to find a good distraction, this was the plan she came up.

A short while later, maybe about an hour later or so, the journal clicks back on again.]

Oh wait! One more thing...who's good with planning parties? I'm kind of late, but better late than never, right? [Yes, Haruhi, she means you and your birthday. Deal with it.]
