[Shiki's inside All Passions today, but the front door's open so she can look outside. Anybody passing by can probably see a pink blur running around rearranging things]

I've never been more glad to be a girl in my life. Ugh. So glad that's over. Everybody else okay? It sounded like things were getting pretty messy toward the end. [she's

A swimsuit?

[so_shik]

Yeah you know, clothes that can get wet in the water.

[forthezora]

Cannot most clothes be used for that purpose? [...So says the woman that swims naked] Or rather, why would one need a special garment for swimming?

[so_shik]

Most clothes can technically but the fabric on most clothing isn't very comfortable to wear when wet, so the swimsuit material's designed so water doesn't cling as much. Most people feel more comfortable swimming in something to cover themselves.

[so_shik]

What do you mean?

[so_shik]

Well yeah obviously, but can you believe it's already the end of June? I can't.

[galddigger]

I'm okay! Not turning into a gloomy pink-haired girl anymore, anyway~!

Ah - your friends've been sent home, Shiki...?

A swim sounds great~! ♥ Maybe I should go see if the clothes store has my swimsuit from back home!

[Voice]

[so_shik]

Well that helps at least! Back to being yourself, bet you're happy.

...yeah, seems that way. I haven't seen Beat or Kanji, Rhyme and Sally were sent home a while ago. But it's okay, I wanted them to get home safe so they did.

That's what I was thinking too. Doesn't hurt to check, right?

[Voice]

[galddigger]

It feels great~ ♥

Oh... I'm sorry Shiki. But yeah, at least they're not stuck here anymore.

Yup! And if it isn't there, maybe there's something at yor shop that I could use!

[Voice]

[so_shik]

Trust me, I know.

Yeah...they'll be all right, I'll see them again sooner or later.

You know I could definitely make you something if you wanted, no problem! Just say the word.

[gardenerofgaia]

Swimsuits, hm? I've been meaning to get one.

[Voice]

[so_shik]

It wouldn't be a bad idea with the weather the way it is, you know? If you can't find one at the other shop I can make one for you.

[Voice]

[gardenerofgaia]

Yep! We've been talking about going swimming at my house. I haven't gone shopping yet, though--the experiment hit me a little hard.

[Voice]

[so_shik]

I don't think a lot of people escaped this last one, so totally understandable.

[voice]

[slaying]

Your friend got sent home? Oh, Shiki. [She speaks quietly, a little unsure of how tender a subject this is that she's broaching.]

[voice]

[so_shik]

I almost wonder if he figured a way out to follow his sister. Plus Kanji's gone too so the shop's officially mine now.

They could at least give us a warning when they send people home. [She's upset yeah, but she'll be fine]

[voice]

[slaying]

Kanji? I never had the chance to meet him, I guess. Shame.

Warning us would mean they were playing fair, and I don't think they're at all interested in that. I suspect the Malnosso are getting their happies while they study our miseries.

[voice]

[so_shik]

He was pretty talented. And of course he was a nice guy. I'll miss him...

...you know, probably. I've known a couple of people like that. Way to be completely unfair.
