[So, guess who just found out Olivier's droned? This guy. To the phones, young pervert.]

"Um... so, I haven't seen the Major General around lately. I went to check on her today, and she's droned. She might've been this way for a while."

[There's a deeply uncomfortable silence for the next few moments.]

"...This is gonna sound weird, but does anyone have a recording of her voice before she was droned? It's really important."

[So, guess who ate some of that delicious-looking candy corn and is now now dressed up in some bizarre ripoff of a Superman costume? This guy. And somebody up there must be looking out for Hachibe, because he's developed the one ability in the entirety of Superman's ill-defined and ever-shifting catalogue of superpowers that he could only dream about under normal circumstances: x-ray vision. It is truly a glorious day for all, or at least for Hachibe. He can be found out in the streets of Mayfield, posing dramatically and making impassioned speeches about saving the world.]

"Never fear, Mayfield! Hachibe is here!

...Hmm, I'm gonna need an actual superhero name."

[Hachibe couldn't be happier now that all of the hazmats are gone and the town is finally getting back to normal. He was worried sick about his friends, and the fact that he couldn't do anything to keep them safe. He's still feeling a little guilty and useless over that, but he's starting to get used to the fact that Mayfield cheats and even the strongest people are in danger here. So today, he's on his way over to 5720 Cunningham Lane to visit Garnet. She's been having a pretty tough time of things lately, so Hachibe's hoping he can play a part in helping to cheer her up. And of course, he'd never pass up an opportunity to hang out with one of his parts girls. He's got his camera strapped around his neck, whistling cheerfully to himself as he makes his way through the streets of Mayfield. Feel free to bump into him on his way there!]

[Filtered to Garnet]

"What kind of music do you like, Garnet? I was thinking about going to the record store to see what this town's got to offer. You wanna come with?"

[Filtered to Empress]

"So, I was thinking... do they do any kind of fortune-telling in your world? I'm pretty good at this one particular technique for seeing someone's future that they have back in my world. You wanna see?"

[Filtered to Iroha]

"I just bought a camera at the store the other day. Have you seen how one works yet? I thought it'd be fun to come over and show you if you want. I'm pretty good with it, so maybe I could take some pictures of you! It's a really high quality camera, so they'll definitely look nicer than the ones the town provides."

[Filtered to Seychelles]

"Heya, Seychelles! It's Hachibe. I've always wanted to learn how to swim a little better, and you seem pretty fast at the blitzball games - you think we could meet at the rec center this week and you can show me how you do it?"

[Filtered to Charlotte Yeager]

"Hey Shirley, wanna go out to dinner with me sometime this week? My treat! Anywhere you like is fine!"

[Filtered to Olivier Armstrong]

"Major Gen-- err, Miss Armstrong! Can we meet up to go over that stuff you showed me at your house last time?"

((OOC: He's basically going to be setting each of these encounters up for a different night of the week. Also, to cut down on friends list spam, we can jump straight from the telephone conversations into action tags for those of you who actually decide to go out with him.))

[Hachibe's been saving all his money for weeks on end ever since he first arrived in Mayfield. He's met so many girls with beautiful parts, but he has nothing to show for it except the picture of Empress' hands he got during her birthday party. Clearly, this needs to be remedied. So today after school, he's out shopping for a high-end camera with color film. Unfortunately, that sort of thing was pretty expensive in the 1950s - much more expensive than a teenage bike messenger could afford on even several months' pay. But there he is at the store all the same, desperately counting out a pocket full of change and small bills.]

"Oh man... I don't even have half as much as I need! Why is this thing so expensive, anyway?"

[He grumbles in frustration, counting and recounting his money and always coming up incredibly short each time. Eventually he shoves it all back in his pocket and just sighs, face pressed up against the glass display case of the expensive Polaroid camera he's currently lusting after.]

[Filtered to Garnet, Childlike Empress, Charlotte Yeager, and Seychelles - essentially he's making the same call four times]

"Hey! You goin' to the dance tonight? I got stuck taking my little sister, but will you save me a dance?"

[Hachibe's pretty depressed about his rather dismal performance in Olivier Armstrong's fighting tournament. He's never going to impress her if he keeps on going like that. Deep down, he knows he's capable of some pretty amazing things when he's fighting for his precious parts, but what about the rest of the time? Maybe some training would help him all around. So, citizens of Mayfield, you can find Hachibe after school on Tuesday in several different places:

1) At the gym in the rec center. He's trying to lift way too many weights at once, huffing and straining and periodically dropping the bar on himself. He hasn't actually managed any reps so far.

2) Running around town rather sluggishly. Somehow, he's managed to find training weights, and has them strapped to his ankles as he makes his way slowly through town.

3) Swimming in the pool. He's not doing too badly here, but he's pushing himself a little harder than he probably ought to be. Feel free to find him floating face-down in the middle of a lap, or flopped over on his back beside the pool breathing heavily.]

[Hachibe blinks, raising an eyebrow and looking around. He sure didn't remember coming to a drive-in movie. Heck, he's not even old enough to drive! And who's this girl sitting next to him in the passenger seat? A quick glance up and down registers nothing on his parts scan, so if it's a date, it probably wasn't his idea. But he figures he might as well make the best of a strange situation.]

"Uh... hi!"

...So, I've been here for a couple weeks now. This town is a pretty boring place, isn't it? No karaoke parlors, no video arcades, no indoor water parks... What do you all do for fun around here, anyway?

[Now that the box top madness is over, Hachibe has successfully traded back for his left eye. And thanks to Garnet, the rest of his wounds from the fight with Hibari have healed over rather nicely as well. Never the sort to let things get him down for very long, he's bounced back from his feelings of depression and worthlessness, pushing the memories of the past week to the side. So he's out and about town today doing what he does best - lurking around the houses of his treasured parts girls like a huge creeper. He needs to make sure they're okay, after all! He's not exactly hiding in the bushes or around corners or anything, but if anyone's paying attention to his movements, he does tend to hover around the following four houses:

506 Ricardo Street - The Vetinaris
1664 Nelson Street - The Lajoies
5720 Cunningham Lane - The Vargases
753 Partridge Street - The Kitanjis

These are, of course, the houses of the Childlike Empress, Charlotte Yeager, Garnet, and Seychelles. He didn't actually know where Charlotte or Seychelles lived when he started this, so he's also been asking various drones around town where the two of them live. It takes him a while to track down Seychelles, since the drones know her by the name Angelique instead. Once he manages to find her address, he notices the beach set up next door at Jecht's place and wastes no time in returning home to change into swimming trunks before coming back to watch her house from the safety and comfort of the Evans family's front yard.]

[Hachibe can be found wandering the streets of Mayfield with a number of terrible injuries compounded on his already missing left eye. He's been hit in his remaining eye, and it's swollen pretty well and turned into a pretty impressive black eye by this point, with the rest of his face swollen and bruised in general. His right arm is hanging at a very unnatural angle - it's pretty apparent that his shoulder has been dislocated. Besides all of that, he's sort of half-doubled over in pain as he walks along, clutching at his midsection. By some miracle, he's actually able to stay conscious and walk around town in this sort of condition - maybe he's just gotten used to being this beaten up on a regular basis. In any case, though, he looks terrible. But for all of his injuries, there is a steely determination in his eyes as he hobbles through the streets of Mayfield.]

"S-Sally... where are they keeping you..."

[Laughs to himself pathetically.]

"Couldn't protect you... Or Shirley..."

[Stops for a moment to rest, breathing heavily.]

"Seychelles... are you okay?"

[Of course, none of the people he's talking to are around - he's just mumbling to himself to stay focused through the pain he's feeling.]

[Following Mukuro's earlier announcement and their ensuing conversation, Hachibe is off like a bolt of lightning to go save his beloved Empress. After all, she's got his perfect hands, and what kind of parts lover would he be if he couldn't even protect his cherished parts? So have a one-eyed high school student running through the streets of Mayfield, screaming like a demon all the way to the malt shop, which is where he believes she's being held. Of course, since Mukuro just straight up lied to him, he's headed to the wrong place and is after the wrong guy, but just try telling him that.]

"DORYAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA~! BYAKURAN, GET READY TO PAY FOR YOUR SINS! EMPRESS, HOLD ON, I'M COMING TO SAVE YOU!"

[LATER, ACROSS TOWN:]

[And after talking to Byakuran, Hachibe has discovered that the true culprit in this heinous misdeed is actually a man by the name of Hibari Kyoya. So he's now running back toward Mayfield, screaming and punching at the air, followed by a one-legged Aisling and four rather fearsome-looking wolves.]

"HIBARI KYOYA! PREPARE TO DIE! GRAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHH!"

"W-what the hell is wrong with that post office, anyway?"

[Filtered to Seychelles, Charlotte Yeager, and Childlike Empress]

"Are you guys okay? They didn't take any body parts from you, did they? Please, god, tell me they didn't hurt you..."

"X-ray glasses? Seriously?"

That means I might get a second chance! Bullet-train breasts, here I come!

"...What's a 'drone' anyway?"

[Whatever Hachibe says next is muffled by the sound of him shoveling Corn Flakes into his mouth with RECKLESS ABANDON.]

[Hachibe's Wednesday started with a phone call from a job he'd never been to before wondering where he'd been and why he hasn't shown up for work lately. After sort of a confusing conversation with his drone!boss, he heads for the phones.]

"...So, apparently I have a job as a bike messenger? Which is weird, because I just got here and never applied for one. Also, I don't have a bike. Guess I'll just have to run around on foot! Anyway, if anybody needs me to deliver messages or anything else, just let me know! And if anyone knows a place where I can buy a good quality camera, that'd be a big help too."

"Good morning, Mayfield! I was a little confused before since I'd just arrived, but I thought I'd make a proper introduction now that I know what's going on! My name's Hachibe Maeda, age 15, from Japan. Looks like I'll be living here for a while, so it's nice to meet you all!"

[After getting a little of the down-low on Mayfield from his new not!mom Arcueid, Hachibe's decided to go out exploring the town he's apparently going to be calling home for the forseeable future. He's privately pretty upset that he won't be going back to see his friends from Sakashitamon Academy anytime soon (not to mention he'll be missing out on those lovely parts), but he's a pretty optimistic guy, so he's pushed all of those concerns to the side for the moment in an effort to make the best of his current situation. He'll basically just be wandering all over town getting his bearings, so feel free to bump into him just about anywhere. There's a good chance he'll be walking down every street by the end of the day anyway.]

((OOC: Let me know in your comment whether you're responding to his phone post or bumping into him on the street.))

( Scene-setting for residents of 1250 Williams Road )

[After getting his bearings a little, Hachibe heads for the phone. He dials the girls' dormitory for Sakashitamon Academy in Tokyo, but of course since it's Mayfield, the entire town gets his call instead.]

"...Hello? Sensei? Tenmaku? It's Hachibe. I, uh... I think I got kidnapped again. Don't worry, though! I'll be home soon, just as soon as I figure out where I am!"
