[Journal Post]

Before anyone tries to claim foul, Shiroko seems to have had some sort of mental collapse or episode, and I am the one fronting of the three of us, as Isidora prefers to be in the back. So, until whatever happened resolves, I'm the one people will be dealing with.

And I'll be focusing on my jewelry business that Shiroko held in escrow for me. If Ms. Ailina needs sign off from Isidora, I will not stop that but I have my own goals and desires separate from Shiroko and Isidora.

I assume this will be sufficient, Officer Samasu and Officer Haita. Orr am I on your bad side still for trying to obtain freedom by non-standard means.

::There is a young looking woman in her 20s, at a jewelry store named "Jewel Journey" near or on the outermost section of the TOPS area of the imperial capital.

She seems to be running it. There's a hiring sign open.::

Wait. Shiroko-san has had some kind of mental collapse? Is she okay?
Is there anything I can do to help?

[rottenofshurilane]

Possibly, I'm not a psychologist...

Tsukumo Kotori, correct?

[longingfreesia]

Yes, I'm Tsukumo Kotori.

Who is it that I'm speaking to?

[rottenofshurilane]

Maboroshi Funako.

[longingfreesia]

It's nice to meet you, Funako-san.
Are you a family member or friend of Shiroko-san?

... By "whatever happened", I'm guessing you don't know exactly why Shiroko had a mental collapse?

Re: [Journal]

[rottenofshurilane]

I think it was general overwork. We might be the same mind, but I am not privy to all her information and neither her me.

Re: [Journal]

[observershikou]

Overwork... Well, I'm hoping that's what it is, because at least that'll be recoverable.

What is the jewelry business you've mentioned?

Re: [Journal]

[rottenofshurilane]

If it wasn't, Isidora wouldn't be letting me be in front.

Jewel Journey, it's on the outskirts of the original core of TOPS.

Re: [Journal]

[observershikou]

I'll choose to trust in that, then.

I may check in once in a while, just to keep up with how Shiroko is doing. Is that acceptable?

*A jewelry store, huh?

I probably was strolling around, thinking about a number of things, but I spot that the place is open for once. And my curiosity gets piqued.*

::The owner looks suspiciously like Shiroko if you poured 'bitch' all over Shiroko.::

Yes, how may we help you?

Re: [Event]

[memoryistime]

*had to take a moment there-- maybe one of Shiroko's sisters that spawned out of nowhere in my mind? whatever.*

Just looking around. I like jewels a lot. So I like admiring jewelry.

*keeping hands firmly in pockets as a safety measure.*

[rottenofshurilane]

Hands out please. Anti-shoplifting policy.

::Taps her finger against the counter.::

Re: [Event]

[memoryistime]

*that makes no sense, but fine, it's your stock to be at risk.

Taking their hands out of their pockets.*

Freedom by nonstandard means is... certainly one way of putting it, Funako.

But I won't drag that out here. Yes, that's sufficient. I hope Shiroko's alright - give her my regards when next she responds, will you?

I do... hope you're doing well enough, outside of being forced to front for the time being.

[ Hrm. Hrmmm. ]

[rottenofshurilane]

Absolutely delighted.

I wish I'd be given more front time.

[becomeanwarrior]

Well, that part is up to Shiroko and Isidora. And you did throw quite a wrench into their lifestyle for quite a bit there.

I am glad you're getting some time to yourself, however.

[rottenofshurilane]

You concern yourselves with something too long ago.

[becomeanwarrior]

It's a little hard to let bygones be bygones entirely, given the consequences. I'm sure Isidora agrees to some extent.

[ancient_prophecy]

So if you're in Aunt Shiroko's body, does that make you Aunt Funako?

[rottenofshurilane]

...

[ancient_prophecy]

Well?

[rottenofshurilane]

In all technicality, yes, I suppose, but...

[ancient_prophecy]

Kewl.

I wanna hang out with you, since Mom says allowing me and Braxi together is asking for trouble.
