Stitched Medley

Indie RP blog for Neku Sakuraba and Shiki Misaki from The World Ends With You and Neo: The World Ends With You, written by Dusty!

“Happy birthday to me!”

“Shiki…”

He’s crying even more now, but this time they’re tears of joy.

She tugs Mr. Mew back to hug him against her own chest, swaying back and forth slightly.

“Perhaps~ But likely not. My work phone sticks with me at all times.”

“No, no, you’re right. I just thought my fashion sense had gotten better over the years-”

There’s a pig in his face now. He takes Mr. Mew and just hugs it tightly. 

“…If Mr. Mew believes in me, maybe everything will be okay.”

“Mm-hm!” She nods enthusiastically, then clears her throat.

“Oh, I still get rest, when I’m not on a job or doing paperwork. There’s other docs on-call as well, but the ol’ coat and scrubs mean I’m ready to hop into action whenever.”

“When you’re the kinda doc I am, you can’t afford to be be off-call. Hence the one main outfit being more than practical.” 

“It is, when you’re on-call twenty-four-seven, three sixty-five~”

“Difference is I know it’s only for practicality. With Pops’ job, those aren’t even that. I’d bet actual money he’ll scald his feet someday.”

“I thought about it for a sec, but that’d just be rude of me.” Clearly the doctor was joking around a little, after a stressful day on the job. Nothing more than a little jab though, since she didn’t want to give off the impression that she didn’t want to be here. “Seriously though, you piqued my curiosity. I couldn’t not show up, despite not entirely seeing the logic in this, heh.”

There’s a slight head tilt at the plushie in Shiki’s arms and a soft smile comes to her face. It almost reminded her of the deflated polar bear plush in her nest, back at her apartment. “Who’s this lil guy?”

“It’s going to be super fun, definitely worth it, I promise,” Shiki said, then held out Mr. Mew so Hope could get a better look.

@hopeful-hugz​ asked: 104 was a bit of a trek from where Hope had hopped in from, but she was a doctor of her word. Shiki had roped her into an afternoon out, in the chatroom and she wasn't about the back out- not that she had a choice. Still, this gal seemed nice, so the aether saw no harm in meeting in person. There's a glance at the crowd, then at the profile icon on her phone; thankfully it wasn't too hard to locate her new acquaintance. Cue a small wave! "Shiki! Over here!"

Shiki looked up at the sound of her name, scanning the crowd for a moment before locating the source of the voice and breaking into a grin.

“Hope!” she called back. She slipped her phone into her pocket and held up Mr. Mew to wave back before trotting over to her new friend.
