[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.]

"...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!))

[OH HEY HACHIBE

Guess who's window shopping himself? Also for stuff for some ladies, particulartly the ones in his house.]

What the hell size would Rangiku be anyway...?

[pygmalion-perv.livejournal.com]

[Oh god.

OH GOD.

DAT ASS.

Hachibe just sort of freezes up again as he catches sight of it.]

[freakinblur.livejournal.com]

[He hasn't noticed you yet, looking over the stuff in the window. He gives a frustrated sigh then turns to leave when he sees you making that face.]

The hell is wrong wit' you?

[pygmalion-perv.livejournal.com]

[And now that he's looking at Scout's face, he can at least pretend nothing's wrong.]

"Oh...! Uh, nothing! Sorry!"

[freakinblur.livejournal.com]

[He probably thinks that you were looking at something in the window? Scout looks back, doesn't see anything shocking... and shrugs.]

Hey, ya got any idea what ta get, like, a girl? A younger girl I mean. Ai's like 13. I think.

[Eyes on the face, Hachibe, eyes on the face. Everything's gonna be okay.]

"...Ai? Little girl, black hair, quiet? Sends people to hell?"

[freakinblur.livejournal.com]

Yeah! That's her. Ya know her? She lives wit' me. What do ya get a kid like that for Christmas?

[pygmalion-perv.livejournal.com]

Good question. I'm having some trouble finishing off my own list, actually.

[Also shopping. Just looking around the store in general.]

[pygmalion-perv.livejournal.com]

[He's currently looking at bras.]

"Hmm... I wonder if this would be too much."

[the-wee-big-hag.livejournal.com]

[Glances over.]

Holiday shopping I take it?

[pygmalion-perv.livejournal.com]

Yeah. I got kind of a late start, so I'm hoping to get it all out of the way today.

[the-wee-big-hag.livejournal.com]

Many people to buy for?

[She's looking through a rack of dresses at the moment. Maybe France would like one of these.]

[pygmalion-perv.livejournal.com]

Yeah, but I already have a pretty good idea of what I want to get for most of them, so it shouldn't be too hard.

[the-wee-big-hag.livejournal.com]

That's good. I'm still not really sure what I'm getting most people.

[pygmalion-perv.livejournal.com]

How many people are you buying for?

[Picking herself up off the ground.]

[pygmalion-perv.livejournal.com]

"Oh geez, I'm sorry! Here, let me help you up!"

[Hachibe holds out a hand. He'll pick up the stuff in a minute.]

[someday-a-queen.livejournal.com]

[Takes his hand as she gets up.]

Thank you.

[pygmalion-perv.livejournal.com]

"I guess I should pay more attention to where I'm going."

[Smiles sheepishly as he bends down to start picking up all of these various articles of women's clothing.]

[someday-a-queen.livejournal.com]

That's alright.

[Leans down to help him pick up the clothes.]

[pygmalion-perv.livejournal.com]

Thanks.

[someday-a-queen.livejournal.com]

You're welcome.

Purchasing Christmas gifts?

You may want to try Mister Wulfenbach~ I recall him talking about owning an airship~

[pygmalion-perv.livejournal.com]

Good idea! I'll ask him, then.
