Twenty-Seven Spools of Thread-[Action]

[Thanks to the help of one Minato Arisato, the front of All Passions is now decorated with a bunch of garland and fake snowflakes and such. Sitting on the porch is a large tree (where Shiki got it from...don't ask) decorated with brightly-colored ornaments and standing on her ladder is Shiki herself

[Sup decorator monkey. Shiki's going to tack a corner of her sign up before realizing that she doesn't have enough tacks...and down off the ladder she comes. She doesn't really look too surprised to see you there, Minato]

Hey.

[so_shik]

[That renders a wide grin. Helpful monkey has proven himself to be helpful once again.]

Thanks. [Takes the box and back up the ladder she goes.] Glad to see you have your voice back.

-Rohan strolls up all scarfed out in his winter gear.-

Don't usually see the harajuku shops get so festive... it's honestly a nice departure.

[so_shik]

[Looks down at him from her ladder, then grinning.]

Yeah, I know. I was looking through some decorating books in the library the other day and this looked really cool so...here I am. Besides, I figure everybody would at least appreciate the bright colors and stuff even if they don't celebrate the holiday, especially after last week.

[mutsukabezaka]

I could try doing a few winter themed murals for you to top it off.

[so_shik]

I think that'd be really great, actually. If you have time, I mean.

[praise_indeed]

[And here is one (1) Akihiko taking a walk, stopping to admire the festive look the shop's taken on.]

Hey, looks pretty good. Did you decorate it yourself?

[so_shik]

[Turning and oh hey Mr-Knock-the-Head-Off-of-the-Scarecrow.]

For the most part, but Minato helped me out, too.

[praise_indeed]

He's good to have around, huh?

[He clears his throat a bit, gesturing to the sign she's hung up] So you're taking special orders for Christmas?

[so_shik]

Totally useful. [Climbing down the ladder now and nodding at the question.] That's right! Something in mind?

[neverplaysfair]

Don't fall.

[so_shik]

[Oh. It's you.]

Wasn't planning on it.

[neverplaysfair]

I'd certainly be worried if you were.

[so_shik]

Do you want something, Joshua?

[so_shik]

[Dooown the ladder then. OH HEY.]

Hey, Ted.

[so_shik]

No not really, but Christmas is at the end of the month. [Granted, Shiki doesn't actually quite grasp the concept yet of the fact that not everyone celebrates Christmas.]
