First that earthquake, then the monsters, and now people are thinking everybody they ever knew are crazy. If it's not one thing, it's another. I just don't get it anymore.

Oh well. I guess there's nothing I can do about it now.

[For once, Shiki's not inside sewing, but she is at All Passions. But, for anybody who turns up? Well...they're in for a bit of a surprise. Pink hair. You know, and the revealing clothes are back.]

[ooc: in the world of AU-land, Shiki grew up with Eri's life, and her part in the Reaper's Game was a total accident. Not an "accident", but seriously a freak accident.]

[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 really think I'm starting to go crazy here. I'm making clothes...for eggs. I guess I could try to push it as a children's line though. They're turning out pretty cute, so if anybody else who's doing the school assignment wants outfits for their "children", feel free to ask.

Things have gotten strange here lately...okay, more than strange. What's Minamimoto planning now? Neku, I want to ask you something.

[Shiki's sitting on the couch in the living room of House #10 with several little egg-sized outfits on the table. Feel free to bug her housemates. Or close friends who notice she's not in the shop today.]

Seriously, does it ever end? Ugh. At least we don't have to worry about anything for a while...I hope.

Sorry I couldn't help fight but guys? Let me know you're alive and all right. Like, soon, okay?

...crap! I need to finish the fall line!

Rena I finished your scarf! It's on the couch inside.

...somebody should help me think of something to do. I'm running out of stuff, and Haruki and Neku said I can't leave.

[Shiki's on the porch of house 10, and she's totally affected. Feel free to use it against her]

Um...guys? Just a heads-up that All Passions will be temporarily closed for a little while. I'll still take orders and make things, but I won't physically be at the shop for a long time, not until I can be mobile again anyway. Sorry for that.

Buffy, looks like we're going to have to postpone the lake-date for a while, but how about you drop by House #10 for dinner sometime this week to make up for it?

...actually I think it might be okay if anybody who needed something made or just wanted to talk to me can drop by House #10 during the day, so there's that too. Such an inconvenience, sorry again.

[By now All Passions has officially been fixed back up and back in business, but today leaning against the porch is a figure in a hooded sweatshirt, hands in pocket and just staring out at Luceti from under the bill of a cap.]

...you've gotta be kidding me.

[ooc: While Shiki doesn't necessarily hate, she's definitely not fond of the reapers or of the game]

[If anybody's wandering by, they'll see that All Passions is broken up and on the ground, wood and clothes in a giant pile from when Mr. Giant Squid accidentally stomped on it. Shiki's slowly rebuilding but she could definitely use the help]

Just what was that all about anyway? Way to ruin my finished product and shake things up, Squid.

Everybody doing okay though? That was a little too weird.

[Do I need to say it? Shiki's on her box outside of All Passions but she's looking over the building instead]

Does anybody know where I can get some building supplies? And how to build things? That would help. I've got a new idea for the store but it might be a little hard to do by myself.

Also, if anybody's seen a little blonde girl usually wearing a skull hat, let me know okay? It's important. Same with Sally...if anybody's seen her, tell me. They better not both be really gone...

Hey Haruki! Drop in whenever you have time, I have some things to show you.

[Everybody should be used to this by now, Shiki's sitting on her soapbox outside of All Passions with Mr. Mew just people-watching and half-reading the magazine in her lap]

Well, I can't say I've ever made a sail before, but it's finished. Everything's finished and everything should have been picked up by now...oh!

Arashi, I finished yours! I can either deliver it or you can come get it, whichever works best for you. Hopefully it'll look okay.

Now that everything's done, what's left? Come on, I'm starting to get bored here! There's only so much room in the shop for me to store stuff I've made. [She goes back to reading her magazine then, though her eyes are still peering over the top of the pages to watch the streets.]

Another cycle gone and he's not back yet. He better be okay back there.
