❀ 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.]

Comments

[wildbluevagner]

Whoa! Calm down there, guy.

[He glances towards Shiemi, wondering why she looks so oblivious to the calamity.]

Hey, Shiemi?

[shamelessness]

[Shiemi? Ha, she'll only respond to that if she's feeling particularly manipulative. At the moment she doesn't. Instead she kicks over a stand of cigarettes.]

[wildbluevagner]

[He steps towards her, confused and concerned.]

Are you alright? Did something happen?

[shamelessness]

Who are you? [She stares at him with a flat expression before-]

Oh wait, you're fleshy. Kurt?

[wildbluevagner]

Yeah, that's me... in the flesh. [He says, tugging at his arm nervously.] Guess it must be a while since you've seen me like this, huh? [He has gotten used to having his image inducer off around her.]

[shamelessness]

[She looks down at him from her standing point on the counter, and her hands rest on her hips.]

You look weird.

[wildbluevagner]

Wait, what? [He gives her a blank stare - but he's already embarrassed by the comment.

He raises an arm and sniffs at his armpit in an attempt to figure out what could be wrong]

[shamelessness]

You heard me.

[She returns to her path of destruction, and crushes a pack of cigarettes under her heel.]

[wildbluevagner]

Whoa! What's going on here? What happened? [He's just looking more and more confused. And he steps a bit closer, concerned.]

[shamelessness]

Look, I'm busy. If you're not going to help me you can leave.

[wildbluevagner]

Hey, hold on there! You're not acting like yourself, Shiemi. It's starting to worry me.

[shamelessness]

If you go then you won't have to worry anymore.

[wildbluevagner]

Really? I kind of feel like if I go, I'm only going to worry more.

[shamelessness]

Out of sight, out of mind!

[wildbluevagner]

That's not how it works! Do you really want me to just... poof?

[shamelessness]

Sure, why not?

[wildbluevagner]

Because... We're friends! And... you're acting totally weird.

[shamelessness]

So? What are you gonna do?

[wildbluevagner]

I don't know! I just want to figure out what's wrong.

[shamelessness]

What's wrong is that you're wasting my time.

[wildbluevagner]

[For a second, he's ready to leave. But then it finally comes to him.]

Was it the Malnosso? Did they do something to you?

[shamelessness]

Weren't you leaving?

[wildbluevagner]

I...

[He makes a frustrated growl. Now he's just mad at her. But at the same time, the possibility's still in his head; if this is the Malnosso, then there might not be anything he can do anyway.]

Fine! You know what? I am! Good bye!

[Bamf.]
