[There's the sudden sound of a bunch of boxes falling to the ground, contents spilling everywhere as the journal's camera points up to the ceiling. It shifts suddenly to focus on a particular pink-haired girl who was unceremoniously dumped into the back room of her shop on top of said boxes.]

Ugh...thanks for the warning, jerks. [She begins to

Someone broke into your shop? That's really mean.

[so_shik]

Tell me about it. They could have at least done it when I was here, but no. Had to be while I was gone for a week. Jerks.

It's kind of weird though...theft usually isn't common around here.

[sea_king_bait]

I've never heard of people stealing before the last few days. There was a pirate calling himself "Admiral" stealing from people on the bridge a couple days ago. Maybe he did it? That'd be weird, though. He said he didn't steal from "pretty girls".

[so_shik]

[...Keimi you have pretty much confirmed what she was thinking. AUGH. Thanks a lot, Jack.] Admiral huh? I might need to have a word with him soon then. What was he stealing anyway?

[sea_king_bait]

[Derpingly solving crimes is her strong suit.]

Anything he could get, I'm sure. Not like anything is valuable in a place with no money. He was probably just bored. [Sigh.]

[so_shik]

It wouldn't surprise me. I haven't met many pirates in my life, but it sounds like something they'd do. I mean I guess it's not a big deal, but I kind of needed that dummy for my summer line. [SIGH.] Maybe I can find another if the Admiral doesn't give it back.

[sea_king_bait]

[Dummy? Summer line? These words bright a bright light to her eyes. She suddenly gasps, her speaking growing much more enthusiastic.]

You're a fashion designer!?

[so_shik]

Huh? Oh, yeah, I guess you could say that! I own the shop in the middle of town, All Passions.

[sea_king_bait]

That's the coolest thing ever! I've been learning for years how to make cute clothes!

[Excitement level is through the roof right now. Give her time. She'll calm down.

...Maybe.]

[so_shik]

Really. [You have officially piqued her interests.] Do you have any of your work around here? I'd love to see it.

[sea_king_bait]

N-not really... b-but I can make something, if you like!

[so_shik]

Well...I am always looking for people to help me out down here. If that'd be something you're into.

[sea_king_bait]

R-really!? Work with you? That would be... so cool! Maybe you could show me a few tricks~.

[so_shik]

Definitely! I have a few of my friends who help out now and then, but I'm always willing to have new people come in.

I'm Shiki, by the way.

[sea_king_bait]

I'm Keimi. It's really nice to meet you~! I'll get right to work on making something to show you. You're gonna love it, promise!

[so_shik]

Nice to meet you, too. I don't doubt it, I'm excited to see it. Let me know when you're done and we can meet up somewhere.

In the meantime...I'll just have to work on finding that dummy.
