❀ 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.]

[Uh yeah, about that. Cross just wanted to get something nice for dinner and when he found that glorious bottle of soda that he loved. It was the last one left and...well he just had to have it.

He was just reaching for it, all the anime sparkles and light, it was like pure heaven and fantasy coming to light in this one bottle of soda.

And then someone grabs it and proceeds to stomp it into oblivion.

Dreams crushed. Anger arises. Not paying much mind to who did this other than the fact WOW SOMEONE JUST DESTROYED SOMETHING TASTY he yells:]

HEY, WHAT WAS THAT FOR!?

[generalflirt]

[ Well this guy is staff.

And not really paying attention when she comes in, because he's in the mist of a really intense game of table football in Linda while she's on the counter. Carefully... carefully. And he flicks the ball to see if it goes through the goalpost!]

[niceguypose]

[Rock Lee stopped at the convenience store every now and then. Especially with Shikamaru away on a mission, he liked to check up on it for his friend.

And as he enters the store for today, he hears a commotion and glaces around in search of the source.]

Eh...?

[shamelessness]

[Suddenly on of the stand shelves is knocked over, and the product scatters on the floor. Cheap cosmetics scatter across the floor, and a large metal bird, who is the culprit, screeches.

Shiemi stands behind her Pokémon with a satisfied grin.]

[shamelessness]

Shiemi slams her hand on the table, and leans forward.]

Hey. You.

[shamelessness]

[The criminal is none other than the extremely recognizable Skarmy. The claws of the large bird pierce the plastic of the bottle swiftly, and the soda begins to drain out of it. Though because of the pressure her foot is putting on the bottle, one of the leaking streams might spray Cross.

Meanwhile Shiemi is standing on a step-stool to make herself seem taller as she kickes off a bag of chips from a nearby shelf.]

[niceguypose]

[Whoa! He assumes a fighting pose and stares down the metallic bird.]

Shiemi-san! What is going on?

[shamelessness]

Oh, nothing much. Just a little remodeling!

[niceguypose]

Remodeling...? Ah, that is very kind of you! [But why is she wearing such an odd attire?] But you should be more careful when moving things. Some things could break! [He bends over to start scooping up the cosmetics.]

[shamelessness]

[Some of the nail polishes did break, but she shrugs.]

It'll be all cleaned up after I'm done with the place. There's no point in doing that until the end.
[She can't have her future Headquarters looking like trash, after all! But now she must change the image! This won't be a convenience store for very long if she has anything to say about it.]

[generalflirt]

[ Well that made him jump a bit. Both him and Linda turn to look at her and..? Oh. ]

Hey, you.

[niceguypose]

[He frowns as he comes across some of the broken ones, making a face as he sniffs some shattered nail polish.]

Ah... some of them truly have broken. Shiemi-san, waiting to clean is one thing, but we must also take steps to prevent the breaking of objects!

[iwannabethegai]

[Shu's at the convenience store spacing out. He's knee deep into his own thoughts. However, the sound of Shiemi trying to shake the staff snaps Shu out of it.

Upon seeing Shiemi, he blinks in confusion momentarily. ]

What are you doing?

[shamelessness]

What are you doing?

[shamelessness]

[Shiemi looks over to him, her hands still gripping the shirt of the staff member.]

What does it look like?

[shamelessness]

You say that like they won't be replaced.

[hero_of_smiles]

[And when he see's the metal bird he looks at it in confusion. Wasn't that Shiemi's? Well, no time to think on that as he gets a face full of the soda.]

SPLUGHSBLECH! HEY!

[Okay, where is the owner of this thing. He looks around frantically and when he see's Shiemi he waves to her.]

Sheimi, your bird is destroying stuff!

[And cue him seeing her kick chips all over the place.]

...and so are you apparently.

[niceguypose]

That very well my. But... That does not make them worthless!

[iwannabethegai]

This isn't like you. [Is this the work of an experiment? He wonders if this might be the cause of Shiemi's behavior.]

Shiemi, is something wrong?

[He's asking this in a firm but gentle voice.]

[shamelessness]

[...Eheheheh. She puts on a smile more 'normal' for Shiemi, and loosens her grip a little - but doesn't fully let go just yet.]

A-ah, yes. Just a little bit. He wasn't being very helpful, you know!

[shamelessness]

But this way is faster. It needs to be done quick!

[shamelessness]

What of it!?

[niceguypose]

Why is urgency called for?

[shamelessness]

It's a secret. If I told you it wouldn't be a surprise.

[niceguypose]

Ah... It is? The element of surprise is truly invaluable... especially when it is done in service of a friendship of youth!
