❀ 13th Weed in the Garden - Action ❀

[shamelessness]

[Shiemi returns from her kidnapping a little different. She'll be dressed like a hot topic reject from 2007. You know, casual goth. Here is her outfit, but with the cold weather she has added a red mesh sleeved shirt under her corset top, ripped red leggings under her skirt, and a red leather jacket with ridiculous pointy studs on the shoulders. On the back of the jacket are the initials "I.M."

Today she's causing trouble for the convenience store. She'll be trashing the place, trying to scare away customers, and shake down the staff to try and make it her "HQ." And thus sparks the return of the "villainous" alter ego of Shiemi, "The Iron Maiden." With her is her Skarmory Pokémon that she'll be using to help her intimidate people.]

[iwannabethegai]

Shiemi, are you going to apologize?

[Please let go of the poor guy. Shiemi seems to be fine though. ]

[shamelessness]

[She frowns.] I think he should apologize first.

[iwannabethegai]

Um ....

[He's not going to say no to that.]

Will you apologize to her mister?

[Shu looks at the other man nervously.]

[shamelessness]

[The staff member looks halfway between frightened and offended that he should apologize. Shiemi started it.

Like so: the girl begins to shake him back and forth now.] You heard him! Apologize!

[iwannabethegai]

Shiemi, you don't need to yell.

[Shu bows down in apology.]

I'm so sorry. [He tugs at Shiemi's arm lightly with concern written all over his face.]

Let's get going before there's anymore trouble.

[shamelessness]

But Shu, he was rude to me. Should I just let him get away with that? He made me really upset.

[She reaches her free arm over to rest her hand on the wrist that's tugging at her. Soft physical contact to try and persuade him? Maybe.]

[iwannabethegai]

Just let him. [Shu winces as he says that. He doesn't fully agree with his own words.]

Do you want to make sure he answers to his own actions? [If that's the case, then he can at least understand what Shiemi's feeling.]

[shamelessness]

[She starts pouting hard.]

Shu. I just wanted to negotiate something. [She wraps her arm around one of his, almost hanging off it. Iron Maiden presses close to him. THIS IS HOW YOU MANIPULATE BOYS, YES?]

[iwannabethegai]

Mhm, okay. You can negotiate it.

[No, don't pout no! Shu suddenly starts to feel really bad and then agrees to go along with it. IT'S SUPER EFFECTIVE..]

I won't try to stop you.

[shamelessness]

Thank you so much. Will you wait outside for me while I do?

[iwannabethegai]

I'll do that.

You don't have to thank me. [He does what he's told to do and walks outside, waiting for Shiemi to finish up.]

[shamelessness]

[Then Shiemi gets down to some HARDCORE NEGOTIATING. Meaning she beats this poor NPC up and stuffs him in the supply closet. Oops. Eventually she skips outside to meet Shu. When she stands in front of him she reaches out to grab his hand. Shiemi wants to hold it in both of her hands to help her manipulate him further.]

All done!

[iwannabethegai]

[He's so happy to see Shiemi back. Her manipulation plans are working well.]

How did it go?

[shamelessness]

Very well! In fact he said I can use the store however I please!

[iwannabethegai]

Isn't that a bit much?

He's very generous.

[shamelessness]

So? [She says trying to guide Shu so that he's cornered with his back to the wall of the store.]

May I ask you a favor? Are you willing to help me with something?

[iwannabethegai]

[Wow, Shiemi's asking him for a favor! Shu's suddenly thinking that he may not be completely useless.]

Of course. I'd do anything.

What do you want me to do, Shiemi?

[shamelessness]

Anything? Really? [One of her hands reaches up to Shu's head, and she twirls a lock of his hair around her finger.]

Will you help me clear it out?

[iwannabethegai]

Clear it out ? [Shu's suddenly starting to realize that he may have opened his mouth too soon. ]

You're better off asking Gai. I'm not strong at all.

[shamelessness]

Oh no, that's fine! Skarmy is going to help too. Don't you worry too much about it.

[She brushes his cheek with the back of her hand. Heh.]
