Forty-Second Spool of Thread - [Voice/Action for Housemates]

[so_shik]

[Currently, Shiki is sitting in her bedroom at House 10 with Mr. Mew. She's got her cell phone in her hand, and even though she doesn't have reception in Luceti she's got a battery. It makes her cringe and it makes her want to throw the phone out the window, but she's currently watching a video she recorded of two people she knows in a rather...

For it to work, there has to be something appealing about it.

[Voice]

[cruxofapotter]

That they do. Are you over at your house, by the way? I wouldn't mind changing back soon, but otherwise I'm sort of stuck outside.

[Voice]

[so_shik]

I'm at the house, yeah, but I can come out to the porch and visit.

[Voice]

[cruxofapotter]

That's be brilliant. I'll, er... make my way over there.

[Voice]

[so_shik]

I'll see you in a bit then.

[Voice -> Action]

[cruxofapotter]

[And thus, the Harrywock made his way over there, burbling as he came.]

Shiki?

[Action]

[so_shik]

[Shiki's standing on the porch of house ten, more or less staring up to gawk at Harry.]

You...are a lot bigger in person than I thought. You okay?

[He settles on the ground so he doesn't have to keep stooping to look at her.]

I keep bumping into things. I'm still sorting out how to get the wings to work properly, but I've had it with the bloody trees.

[Action]

[so_shik]

[She's going to approach slowly, patting his side curiously.]

Then I suggest staying out of the forest. [She stops in front of his head to look him in the eye, no matter how unnerving it is.] There isn't a way to change back?

[cruxofapotter]

[His skin twitches since he's not used to being touched, but he's otherwise calms.]

I've been trying to stick to paths. [He blinks at her.] Not that I've figured out.

[Action]

[so_shik]

It's a pattern. Usually when they turn us into something else, there's a way to change back. I don't think anybody's figured out what triggers it though.

[Action]

[cruxofapotter]

I wonder if anyone's been keeping track of that aside from the Malnosso.

[Action]

[so_shik]

We'd have to ask around...there's got to be somebody. Think of how many people live here.

[Action]

[cruxofapotter]

I suppose it's worth looking into. I've got a fair amount on my mind at the moment.

[Action]

[so_shik]

Don't we all. ...anything I can help with?

[Action]

[cruxofapotter]

I dunno. It's a problem I didn't expect to get so bad. Do you think that it's possible to find a way out of here?
