I procrastinated on this page because I was dreading drawing the staircase. Although it was part of the store blueprints from the very beginning, I always came up with ways around having to draw it in any detail. I decided if I actually did some research and practice, my confidence would go up, and I wouldn't feel so "fake" about it all. Anyway, I took the time to research and practice spiral staircases, and now I don't need to feel so intimidated by that corner of the store. ^_^

Anubis: True, but none of the girls are really looking "sexy" in this one. ;)

Peipei: That's how I sleep. ^_~ But I wouldn't attend a party that way. – It's mostly a joke. Seiko typically wears all-concealing clothes, so her friends are making fun of her.

Tantz: Thanks. There's a lot of light banter in this chapter.

LanceDanger & l33t: Oo la la!

amanda: Actually, Kaida's usual nightie is rather scant and sexy, but that wouldn't be nearly as fun for teasing Seiko. ~_^

DAJB: Sure it was. :)

patrickdevine: Haha! Maybe so. Although the halter top was intended only as an undershirt. She's lucky she was wearing it. ~_^
