[Mother's Day. This sort of behavior actually isn't all that odd for Hachibe in the first place - he's already willing to bend over backwards to do anything at all for his parts girls, and he's a pretty friendly guy otherwise. So he hasn't particularly noticed that anything is wrong just yet. He's busybodying all over town today, visiting people and just sort of doing nice things for girls he meets along the way. Anyone can feel free to bump into him on the street or while he's out shopping - he'll be at the pharmacy, the clothing store, the pet store, and the grocery store, but he's also making some specific stops at some specific houses today. He's going for particular people in the house, obviously, but anyone who lives at these places can obviously answer the door.]

[Filtered to Seychelles]

Hey Seychelles! I know this is kind of short notice and we don't really know each other that well... again... yet...

[clearing his throat]

Um! But anyway, I wanted to know if you'd like to go to prom with me.

[Action; Bodine Fashion]

Hmm... I wonder what kind of suit I should wear to this thing. Mayfield's clothes are pretty terrible. I wonder if I can find something good?

[Hachibe can be found at the department store today trying on various colors of suit jackets and ties, looking for something that doesn't make him look like a complete idiot.]

( Action; 1664 Nelson Street )

[Action; around town]

[After leaving Shirley's house, Hachibe can be found slinking back home looking like a kicked puppy. Contrary to his usual upbeat demeanor, he's got his eyes cast downward and his hands in his pockets as he trudges along. Every so often he sighs deeply, lifting a hand to rub at the corners of his eyes before continuing on.]

[Phone; unfiltered]

Hahahaha! Who needs love anyway! Am I right, guys? How could I ever have been so stupid? I knew it all along - it's all about the parts!

( Action; 1250 Williams Road )

[It's Friday, and Hachibe's pretty excited to finally be out of school. So excited, in fact, that he runs straight home and gets on the phones.]

[Phone; filtered from drones]

Easter break! This is the best! It's like Golden Week came three weeks early this year! So, I asked this before, but what are you all gonna do with the week off?

[Action; evening; at the rec center pool]

[Hachibe can be found at the pool in Mayfield's recreation center on Friday night and at varying points throughout the weekend. He seems to be in a pretty good mood, and depending on when you catch him, he's either floating around in an inner tube, diving in the deep end and seeing how long he can sit on the bottom, or just kind of splashing around having a good time in the shallows.]

It's not quite a beach trip, but it'll have to do!

( Action; 1250 Williams )

( Action; 1664 Nelson; date time with Shirley? )

[Phone; unfiltered]

So, I hear spring break from school is coming up pretty soon in a couple of weeks. Does anybody have any plans? I figure it's good to try to make the most of any vacation the town gives us. I was thinking I'd spend a lot of time swimming in the pool over at the rec center.

[Action for 1250 Williams Road - backdated to the morning of the 21st, the day after his death on the highway.]

[Hachibe wakes up in his bed at 1250 Williams gasping for air and screaming himself awake from a fitful nightmare of being mauled to death by thousands of cats. He clutches at his chest, trying to slow his breathing and calm his heartbeat as he gets his bearings and remembers the events of the previous day.]

Damn it!

[Crying out in frustration, he reaches for the nearest object - his alarm clock - and throws it at the opposite wall of his bedroom. It hits the wall with a loud thud as the glass on the face shatters before falling to the floor. He spends the next several hours just sitting in bed sulking, not even giving the first thought to bothering to attend school today.]

[Action; around town, Monday afternoon]

[Having gotten most of his anger and depression out of his system, Hachibe's out for a walk to try to calm himself down. He's keeping his head down and staying quiet, though. Every time he passes by a cat or hears one meow, he jumps in place nervously and gives it a wide berth as he continues his trek through town.]

Gah! Don't scare me like that!

[Action; around town, Monday evening - outside 1245 Williams]

[Later in the night, after the sun has set, Hachibe finds himself standing in front of 1245 Williams Road - the house where Japan and Taiwan live. He walks up to the door, reaching out to knock before sighing and turning away. Even still, he ends up back there several times throughout the evening, looping around the block to repeat the process.]

...I hope you're okay. I'm sorry.

[Undeterred by crazy milkman-related noises, Hachibe has resolved to make the most of White Day while he can. That's why he spent all of Sunday shopping for chocolates for the various girls around town that he's developed a special affection for. Monday after school, he's hitting up each of their houses personally to deliver the chocolates. It's all storebought, but it's the thought that counts, right? And just to cover his bases, he's got an assortment of milk, white, and dark chocolates for each of them. He's got giri choco for his friends and honmei choco for any girls with one of his favorite parts - you know who you are. Under the cut is the list of houses he's hitting up.]

( Chocolate list! )

[Of course, he's very conspicuously carrying a lot of chocolate as he makes his way along, so anyone can feel free to notice how much of it he's lugging around and stop him to talk about it, since he's walking all over town. He also makes a specific point to hit up his girlfriend's place last, hoping to spend some time with Shirley late that evening after making his rounds.]

[Well, things are more or less worked out with Shirley (or will be once it gets backlogged out), so Hachibe's back in his usual cheer. But there is still one thing bothering him, so TO THE PHONES.]

Uh, hey. So, I'm kind of new at this whole 'having a girlfriend' thing. What are some good places to go on dates? Or stuff to do around town together? Besides just going out for burgers and shakes all the time. We've pretty much got that one covered already.

[It's been over a week since the fake memories from Valentine's Day vanished, and Hachibe's been uncharacteristically thoughtful during the intervening time. Much less effusive in general, but he's also been avoiding any of his usual visits to his various girls with perfect parts. He spaces out in class, spends a lot of his time around town just wandering around, and hasn't been all that talkative at home either. Here are a few of the places your character may have seen him during the past ten days.]

Option A: Front Porch

[Hachibe is sitting on the front porch of his house at 1250 Williams Street, bundled up for the cold weather and absentmindedly petting a small husky puppy. The puppy is variously lying quietly at his side, running around the front yard, and tugging at his arm trying to get him to get up and have fun puppy playtimes.]

Option B: Walking Around Town

[In the course of his random wanderings, there are a few places Hachibe keeps coming back to. He spends a lot of time walking around the footpaths in the park, but he also comes around to stare at the outside of the rec center and the movie theater every so often. Some of these times he has his digital camera with him, and takes pictures of the surrounding area.]

Option C: At School

[Hachibe isn't even making his usual token efforts at looking like he's paying attention during class. He spends most of his time zoned out and staring off into space, and the rest of the time either asleep at his desk or doodling in his notebook.]

Option D: 1664 Nelson Street

[Toward the end of the week, he starts walking past the house at 1664 Nelson every day. The first few times he just glances up at it and walks on past, but on future trips he actually stops and stares at the front door and then up to one of the windows before moving on. Finally, on the evening of Saturday the 26th, he gets up the courage to knock on the door.]

( Dreams )

[Filtered to Charlotte Yeager]

Uh... Shirley? Did you remember anything today? About... us?

[It's been a few days, and Hachibe's already in a better mood, having more or less totally bounced back from his depression over Garnet's droning. He's got a date coming up, he's making new friends, things at home couldn't be better, and everything just feels right. So today, he's a man on a mission! After school, he makes a brief stop at home to grab his digital camera before heading down the street to 1245 Williams Road, the house where Japan and Taiwan live. Once he gets there, he stops at the edge of the yard and starts flinging small rocks up at the bedroom window.]

Taiwan! Hey! It's Hachibe! Are you home?

[Hachibe's been busybodying about quite a bit since recovering from the holidays, but he hasn't forgotten to check up on his friends and parts girls periodically in the process. He hasn't heard from Garnet for a while, so he decides to head over to her house to see if she's all right. Naturally, there's only a drone waiting there to greet him - a hollow shell of the girl he'd made such good friends with, who wants nothing at all to do with him or his weird ear fetish. After a short conversation ending in hurt feelings, slammed doors, and a slap in the face, Hachibe trudges home in the snow with a sad look on his face.]

Another one gone... I can't believe this stupid town. Does it have to take away everyone I care about?

[He takes the long way back to his house on Williams Street, not really feeling like heading home right away. Along the way, he forces himself to remember Garnet as she was before, trying not to think about how she's the third girl with one of his perfect parts to leave him since he came here. First Seychelles, then Iroha, and now this. Even the Major General was gone for a little while before she came back, leaving him without that lovely voice in the meantime. It's almost too much to take.

But then he looks up at the streetlights, their lamps lighting up for the evening almost in time with a revelation that hits him completely out of the blue. It's not as if the girls are gone completely - after all, Seychelles' feet, Iroha's breasts, and Garnet's ears still exist on the drones, exactly the same as they were before. So why is it that he's feeling so bad about them getting droned? 'Love the part, love the girl' has always been his creed, but maybe there's more to it than that. If he's sad even though the parts are still there... maybe there's some other emotions at work here.

He wastes no time in running back home and getting on the phone.]

[Phone; filtered to Charlotte Yeager]

Shirley! Are you there? It's Hachibe.

[Filtered to Japan]

"Hey Japan! It's Hachibe. I was wondering if you'd be interested in helping me out with a little project of mine. I can pay you for it, so just let me know, okay?"

[Hachibe heard the postman's phone call earlier, and he's pretty worried for the safety of Empress. She's a sweet girl, and he's pretty sure nobody would want to hurt her, but he's met some pretty violent and unreasonable people since coming to Mayfield. So since you can never be too careful about these kinds of things, he's heading to the phone lines to deliver a warning. In contrast to his usual cheerful goofy demeanor, his voice is deadly serious this time.]

"Hey, Mayfield. Don't any of you even think about trying to take revenge on Empress for her vote to stay here. I promised I'd always protect her, so if anybody gets any funny ideas, you're gonna have to go through me first! Hachibe Maeda, age 16, will not back down!"

[He doesn't even stay on the line long enough to hear any replies, hanging up and immediately running over to Empress' house at 506 Ricardo Street. Passersby will see him standing there in front of the front door to the house, arms folded and a serious business expression on his face.]

[Well, it's been five days since Hachibe's horrible Christmas present drove him to attempted suicide. Thankfully, America managed to get to him in time, and instead of bleeding out on the front lawn, he ended up in surgery at Mayfield's hospital. He's been spending the past five days recovering, and is still confined to a bed in one of the rooms at the clinic, but he's at least allowed to have visitors and make phone calls now. So here's Hachibe sounding a little weaker than usual but in much better shape than he was before.]

"Uh... hey, everyone. It's Hachibe. Sorry if I worried anyone before. My Christmas present from the town was pretty bad, and I probably could've reacted a little better. Looks like I'm gonna be stuck in the hospital for a while, though, so if anybody wants to come by and visit, they finally moved me out of the emergency ward. I got my drone mom to bring over the Christmas presents I haven't handed out yet, too. So, uh... Vietnam, Garnet, Chrome, Empress - your presents are here with me if you're interested."

[Hachibe spent most of Christmas locked in his room crying after receiving his gift. Finally, a phone call goes out to the town, completely unfiltered. He doesn't bother answering anyone who tries to respond.]

"...Iroha. I'm sorry."

[Afterward, he staggers downstairs to the kitchen, grabbing a kitchen knife and plunging it deep into his gut. He spends his last few minutes wandering through the house spilling blood everywhere before heading outside, collapsing against the side of the house to bleed out in the front yard. Feel free to happen upon him in his sorry state as he coughs up blood and laughs bitterly.]

[Hachibe's done with all his shopping, and he figures it's probably a good idea to get all his gift delivering over and done with before Mayfield decides to celebrate Christmas by setting the town on fire or something. So today he's out and about town with a big bag full of goodies and a Santa hat on, traveling between the houses of various people he knows dropping off gifts. Anyone can feel free to run into him along the way, but he'll be specifically visiting the following homes:

1762 Beaver Street
1767 Beaver Street
506 Ricardo Street
946 Beulah Street
1664 Nelson Street
5720 Cunningham Lane
753 Partridge Drive
1125 Taylor Road
729 Anderson Lane
730 Anderson Lane

And wherever the ass Shiki Tohno (the teenage one) lives, because there's like 57 Shikis living in Mayfield and I can't even tell which one is him.]

[Christmas is getting closer and closer, and Hachibe's got a lot of gift-buying to do, so today after school he can be found in Mayfield's shopping district running around getting his list finished. There are a couple of situations you might run into him in:

1. In the middle of the actual shopping itself. He's spending basically all of his time in the womens' clothing section, walking around very slowly and deliberately looking at various things. He picks things up and sets them down again, scrutinizing them with a master's eye for color, weight, feel, size, and every other conceivable dimension.

2. Still shopping, but in a considerably less focused fashion. Now he's just wandering around between various stores looking around at things. Every so often, he stops to stare down at a piece of paper. He's got a few people left to buy for, but it's pretty clear he's got no idea what to get for any of them.

3. He's heading home not really looking where he's going, and has managed to either crash into your character or narrowly avoid hitting them. In either case, he's spilled the contents of his bags. Feel free to notice any of the following as he's apologizing and cleaning up: earmuffs, a tight-fitting blue dress, a cute pair of pink mittens, red hair ribbons, a fitted v-neck sweater with a snowflake pattern on it, a makeup case with several shades of lipstick in it, and a pair of electric socks.]

[Later; filtered from Charlotte Yeager]

"...So I'm having some trouble with one of the gifts on my list. Does anyone know if Mayfield has an army surplus or military supply store or anything like that?"

((OOC: Just let me know which option you want, or if you're answering the phone call!))

[It's two days after the Thanksgiving ordeal, and Hachibe has naturally spent most of his Saturday running around town trying to check up on the people he cares about after the turkey ordeal. In the course of making his rounds, he visited the house of a newly-droned Seychelles. He didn't even need to have a conversation with her to be able to tell what was wrong, because as soon as he saw her, she was wearing a pair of sneakers instead of her usual beach sandals.

It's been a rough couple of weeks for this poor pervert. So many of the girls he'd found his perfect parts on have been droned recently. And sure, the parts are still there, but they seem so hollow without the personalities behind them. Something just feels wrong about admiring drones like that. In any case, Hachibe can be found moping around on the front porch of his house more or less all day Saturday. He's got headphones on and seems to be listening to something on a cassette deck while he absentmindedly shuffles through a pile of close-up pictures of ears and feet.]

"I hate this town."

...Is anyone else's turkey really underdone?
