But I Know My Own Narcissism

Six more days...

Maa, the cold is bothersome. Perhaps that's why I haven't gotten out more lately. Never did care much for winter, but it doesn't suit me to be a hermit either. Layers are wonderful things though, as is central heating and blankets. And cocoa.

It was a few weeks ago, but Hokuto's birthday went well~ Now we just need to work out some details for the present, and that'll be fun as well.

Speaking of Birthday's, Gure's is tomorrow~ And then my own is in about a month. Maaa, the trio is getting old. Perhaps I should become like Mary Pickford. I'll lock myself up and get rid of all the mirrors, so no one will see my beauty fade.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY, HOKUTO

Be sure to be home promptly tonight, yes?

Hikari-san, the assignments for the rest of the week for everyone are posted at the shop. I won't be in. I have other things to attend to.

Maa, why didn't I start planning sooner...? I'm sure I'll think of something...

Ball info +_+

These are the characters that are going and what they will be wearing.

( LOOK UNDER HURRR )

And that about covers everyone. If I've forgotten anyone, let me know, and I'll fix it. But I believe that is all my muses who will be going.

Making these costumes is rather time consuming, but I'm sure it'll be rewarding in the end. I dare saw we'll be the best looking duo at the ball.

Speaking of the ball, Hokuto, Yuki, Yuki's date, how do the three of you feel about having dinner on Thursday evening?

I really can't stand when the weather starts getting cold like this. I guess I should start layering up. Maybe ask Hokuto about more vitamins to take. I'd rather not get ill or something.

Yuki~ When are you and the girl you're taking to the masqurade available for dinner~? I want to meet her~

Hokuto should come too. Introductions could be had all along.


In other news, I have a plan for our outfits, now to start working on it.

Busy week~ I've aquired a new model and gotten a few outfits to her measurements. I have to say, she really does have the perfect body type for something like this. As much as I like showing my outfits on Hikari-san and the others, there's something to be said for actually having a female body to show them on.

Now I just need to start working on something for that masqurade. I should talk to Hokuto and see if he wants to go with any sort of theme or something. So many choices we could go with. But I need to know now so I can start on things.

Yuki, you should find some nice girl or boy to take with you. It'd be a good learning experience for you. If you need help in the area, I of course would be more than happy to oblige you.

Bast is such a popular little kitten~ All the men seem to like her. What a lucky thing she is.

I was almost tempted to take one of Tori-san's so she would have some company, but somehow, I think that would go badly.

In other news, Yuki's birthday came and went with great success. He seemed to really like his present. And why shouldn't he? Who wouldn't want an Ayame Sohma original?

Maa~ I really need to find some female models. I don't seem to have any anymore~ Sad, sad~

But it's far too early to be up. I think I'll go cuddle back into bed. It's a Sunday, they're meant for sleeping in, yes?

I wonder how one trains a cat not to chew through things, it's getting expensive to repair and replaceso many things. It's not that I don't hav the money or anything, but it is getting a little tedious, spending so much of it needlessly. I could be spending it on other things, like new material or shoes. I could use some nice boots. Perhaps I need to go shopping...

Speaking of clothes...Naa-chan, when are you freedom? I long for dress up time with my favorite doll~

My fall line up is almost finished up. Now to wait and see what Kokujo plans on making that model of is wear~

I should be getting out more I suppose, but there's so much to do still, especially if I want to get a party planned out by the nineteenth~

Gure~ Where have you disappeared to?

It seems to be getting harder to fall back to sleep in the morning. Colder...or something. Rather bothersome, really.

I've barely been home in the past week, it wouldn't be a good idea to leave Bast alone too much, after all. The commute...seems a little bothersome, the more I think about it. Perhaps I'll bring it up over dinner tonight.

In other news, sharpie doesn't wash off of things. So all those nice things I bought for her are ruined. It really is a shame.

.....Not only did you write over my nice, custom made food bowls for her, but you marked her litter box as "Godzilla's Poop Box"

Is that really necessary? It looks so...tacky.

I guess putting the other two sets in the cabinet when I'm not using them isn't so much trouble.

Spitfire-kun, when do you have an opening, Hokuto needs a haircut~

Yuki~ When are you available for dinner?

Shigure~ I long for the presence of one of my oldest and dearest friends. Perhaps we could get tea or something together soon. You could even bring one of those cute girls you were telling me about, if you'd like. I really could use more female models~

Hmm, I only have one assistant now. Miwa-hime will be missed dearly, but I must push through and do my best to find someone to take her place. Not that anyone could truly replace her, mind you, but work must get done none the less.

Speaking of work~ Kokujo, when are you showing me those sketches? If you want the designs included in my fall lineup, it had better be sooner as opposed to later.

( Private to Hokuto//Somewhat Hackable )

Funny, I don't remember taking this stuff home.
I think if it had been me, it would be in the right place.
But I doubt these bottles just walked their way here.

Strange.

I guess I'll just have to take them back where they belong tomorrow.
What a bother.

Hmm. I guess I'll need to make sure I have something ready by Friday.

Kokujo~ Tomorrow you're going to go with me to see Mama Mia, you can't say no. You made me see that horribly dark and scary movie, so you owe me. There's no way around it.

I've started working on my fall designs, which I should of done a little earlier, I suppose, but what can you do? As long as I get it done in time, I suppose that's what matters. I think I'll need to have another meeting with Kokujo and Miwa-hime sometime soon about things~

I heard Kyonkichi is here~ I went to try to see him and he was sleeping~ So disappointing~

At least I got some cuddle time with Claudia, so the visit wasn't a complete waste.

( Private//Hackable )

Spitfire-kun, I think we'll need to postpone that hair appointment until the water is back to normal.

Now I have to go figure out which outfits will clash with this tinted hair.

Hokuto, I think this calls for a trip to the beach. The sooner the better.

Recently all the Sohmas were in the cafe at once...except Yuki wasn't there. It makes me quite sad. I yearn for the presence of my little brother. Life is cold and useless without him.

Drinks with Hokuto and Gure on Saturday was interesting, if nothing else. Really, cousin, we'll have to go out again soon, but just the two of us, ne?

Haru~ I know it's a little late, but I have a present for you. When can I give it to you?

Also~ Lambo-kun~ That outfit is finished at the store for you to wear for your next shift. I hope you enjoy.

Other things to plan and think of, oh yes~ Hmm~

Spitfire-kun, I think my hair needs another trim soon, do you have any openings?

But for now I go to bed before I get lectured for being up too late~

It's always nice to help someone be a little more open minded about things, don't you think?
First the bath last week, and then Friday~
Both were quite pleasant, really.

Yuki. It's been too long since I've been reunited with my darling brother. I must change this.


Gure~ Let's have tea sometime soon, ne~ I long for your presence, I really do.

But I think for now, it's time to close up and go onto bed~

....I see now why it's so annoying when he can't sleep.

Spitfire, I think I may to decline you on your offer, I think we're going to stay in for the evening. Thank you, though.

I bought some new bubble bath today, it smells really nice, I think I may have to try it out. It's been far too long since I've just relaxed in a bath. And my tub is such a nice one too, I really shouldn't neglect it. I wonder if...hmm, I guess I'll have to ask.

In any case, outings the past fews days have been pleasant, I got to see Spitfire-kun and have some drinks with him during the weekend, and then yesterday, I ran into my favorite devil. I forgot to ask him about that project he wants me to do for him though. Next time, I suppose.

I can't help but wonder if Kokujo wasn't onto something with that whole vacation idea. It really does sound rather ideal right now, I suppose I'll have to look into it, see if there's anyplace I want to go.

Naa-chan~ I have a special new outfit for you, when do you have time to come try it on?
