[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, wow... so you're a pretty long way from home.

Yes, I'm afraid so.

I'm Princess Elizabeth Tudor of England.

That's... pretty awesome, actually! I'm talking to a famous person!

[Her face is calm.]

Yes....I heard I do become rather well known in the future.

Oh, yeah, but I guess I probably shouldn't tell you about it, huh? It would be weird, hearing about what your own future is like...

[identity profile] someday-a-queen.livejournal.com 2010-12-14 03:21 am (UTC)(link)
I've already found out I become Queen.

[identity profile] pygmalion-perv.livejournal.com 2010-12-14 03:22 am (UTC)(link)
I actually don't know too much more about your reign than that, really... I'm from Japan, so I haven't studied as much about European history in school.

But still, you're definitely a household name by my time! Pretty much everyone knows your name.

[identity profile] pygmalion-perv.livejournal.com 2010-12-14 03:36 am (UTC)(link)
Yeah. You're one of England's most famous queens. Probably the most famous, really. And the queen that's on the throne in my time is named Elizabeth too.

[An amused laugh.]

That is something.

A great many things must change in my future.

[identity profile] pygmalion-perv.livejournal.com 2010-12-14 03:40 am (UTC)(link)
Are you looking forward to it?

[identity profile] someday-a-queen.livejournal.com 2010-12-14 03:46 am (UTC)(link)
......

Yes. I think I am.

[Her face is quite calm. She's good at that.]

[identity profile] pygmalion-perv.livejournal.com 2010-12-14 04:04 am (UTC)(link)
That's good. You gotta like what you do.

[identity profile] someday-a-queen.livejournal.com 2010-12-14 04:05 am (UTC)(link)
Yes.

And if I am to rule England, then I aim to do it to the best of my abilities.

Yeah, that's the spirit! You'll do fine.
