[There's a bit of a static feed as the journal turns on, and Shiki doesn't say anything for a moment. She's busy reading over everything from the last few days, but she finally decides to talk to the village at large.]So. Hypothetical question. ...how long is too long to wait? For people, for objects, for anything. Give me your thoughts on this

[Presently, All Passions looks like the outer edge of a third-grade classroom. Hisoka was just trying to get grocery shopping done, but.. No. That eyesore is not sticking around all autumn.]

What are you doing?

[so_shik]

What does it look like? I'm adding color...problem with that?

[aphephobic]

You're adding arts and crafts.

[so_shik]

Well it's kind of my building. If you don't like it you don't have to look.

[aphephobic]

Well, your building is kind of in the center of town. I'd have to be blind to miss it.

[so_shik]

Not if you kept on walking.

[aphephobic]

It's for the good of the village that your madness be contained early.

[so_shik]

I'm not crazy! Okay?! Deal with it! This is just what I do!

[aphephobic]

You should learn how to do it better.

[so_shik]

What do you suggest then? [Asshole :|]

[aphephobic]

Developing good taste. [Yes, this.]

[so_shik]

Look, can you just go away? I get it. You don't like me, I don't like you, let's just move on.

[aphephobic]

... Not until you elaborate on what happened to Neku.

[so_shik]

[And just like that, all of her anger kind of just fizzles out.] What do you mean?

[aphephobic]

It's a weird thing that happens. When you're trying not to think about something, you end up thinking more about it than you would normally.

So why are you focusing so much effort on not thinking about Neku? [She'd better not start crying.]

[so_shik]

[Not around Hisoka she won't :|] ...because there's no point dwelling on the fact that he's gone. Again. [Or so she's been told. She'll dwell all she wants, thank you.]
