[For the last few weeks, things have been a little crazy. Rhyme appeared in Luceti during the last cycle, and Shiki was doing her best to make sure her younger friend was getting settled. With that, she was also making sure she was balancing her time between her housemates and her work which was proving to be a bit more difficult as the spring season was kicking into full-swing. She had been spending a lot of time at the shop lately, but only part of that time was spent making clothes.

The other part? If anyone had come into All Passions at all during the last month or so, they would see that Shiki's been making very slow progress in cleaning out her storage closet in the back of the building. Shelves are being rearranged and racks are being filled in order to compensate for the extra storage bins and boxes she's dragging out. She's also been working with some sheet metal she picked up from the smithy last week, lining the inside of the room and making sure no cracks are left uncovered. She wants it to be perfect for Minato and his darkroom.

Seeing how it's a nicer day this week than it has been, she's going to take a break and go outside of the shop, sitting down on the porch with Mr. Mew. She's idling doodling in her journal for a few moments before she decides to address the village as a whole.]

...so I hope everybody's okay now! Last week was totally crazy, but what else is new in this place? I can't believe how different everyone was though when their memories were altered. I guess I can't blame anybody for being so far into their mindset though.

It just reminds me of some piece of advice someone once gave me. Well, maybe not advice, but wisdom at least. "The world is more than what you just see." [She goes quiet then, as though she's thinking on those very words and how they relate to her herself. But she comes back with another slight grin.]

Was there anyone who actually preferred their other memories compared to the originals?

Oh, and as usual, spring line's in! Come by and see me for custom-made wing-friendly threads!

...and Minato? I've got your space ready whenever you are.

I know it's been about a week and some of you have already talked to me about this, but um, if you were shot with that gun Rosalie had and we did something you didn't like, feel free to come back to the shop and we'll fix it but you know, I never make people look ugly so...

Tifa, I did finish your blouses whenever you're ready. They're at the shop right now. Speaking of the shop, Kanji, MJ, Rosalie? We should figure out some kind of work schedule you know? I'll be around full-time again in about two weeks but it'd help to have a schedule anyway.

I've figured out...the weather's pretty bipolar here or something.

Oh and um...anybody wondering, I should probably mention that Minato's going to be a little...off for a while.

Whatever you're doing, we'll figure it out and we'll stop you, again.

[Shiki is actually currently sitting in the clinic in Minato's room to make sure he doesn't leave again before he's supposed to like he did last time. Housemates feel free to assume she didn't come home last night. Also, she's assuming that Mitsuru told Aegis/Fina/whoever about Minato's condition so she's not going to bother saying it, if anything so unnecessary people like Minamimoto don't show up or something. Who knows where her brain goes.]
