[It's a cold, overcast day when Richard steps outside the house this morning, but that doesn't deter him one bit from the errands he has planned for today, even if it does cause him to duck back inside for a scarf first. It doesn't matter how much he hates the cold; today is important, so he can't wait for it to get warmer.

His first stop is the item store in search of the perfect gift. He'll probably linger around this store for the longest, because he wants to find just the right thing. After that, he'll head over to All Passions, where he makes a beeline towards the suits.

Finally, he heads to the bakery to grab a cake. This stop on his little shopping trip requires the most self-control... or not, as he'll probably end up emerging with a few more things than just a cake. Oh well, his housemates will eat them, right?

Once all of this is accomplished, he heads back to House 28, looking both very pleased with himself and just a little bit mischievous too.

He can be found in any of these locations or on the journey between them. Feel free to stop him and say hi or ask what he's up to!]

That part can wait until a more appropriate hour, however. I think it's still a bit early to be starting the celebrations, unless things are different in your world. Besides, there are still those presents that I might end up keeping for myself...

Hahaha. I'd best accept those, right? So cruel.

That was the general idea.

Yeah, alright. I'll let you lead me around some more.

You say that as if it's ever the other way around.

Touche.

We should probably at least offer some sort of prayer before we leave for more enjoyable festivities, though.

Yeah, sure. Why not.

...You can lead on that.

[Hmm. Think think think. He's pretty sure he has a vague recollection of reading a chapter about shrines in a book he borrowed from the library here once...

He turns to face the shrine, sizing it up for a moment; then, drawing on those vague memories, he claps twice and bows.

That's what you do, right Isamu?]

[That's about right. But for some reason, seeing Richard do this gets a bit of a sporfle out of Isamu.

He clears his throat to try and keep it down, but the smile is still there. Then he mimics the motion.]

[... well, that gets him to pause, looking at once both slightly confused and flustered.]

Did I do something wrong?

Heh... nah.

[He will not say it looked cute, as that might go over awkwardly.]

Just amused me to see you do that, is all.

I'll take that to mean I wouldn't be able to pass as a native from your world.

You couldn't pass as a native of Japan.

Doesn't mean you couldn't pass as someone from my world entirely.

[All right, they've been out in the cold long enough, and it's not like Richard has much in the way of natural insulation. Time to start heading back to go to a nice warm building.

Don't mind him just linking his arm around Isamu's with a laugh as an excuse to haul him off.]

Now you have me curious... which country from your world do you think could I pass as a native of?

Hm. That's a hard call.

Given your taste in clothing... perhaps western Europe. About a century ago.

So fashion has regressed rather than advanced...

[Isamu just laughs at this.]

You disagree, Isamu?

I think your taste in fashion is questionable at best.

[STEALING THE HAT AND PLACING IT ON HIS HEAD. There, now he is fashionable!]

...I need to get you your own one of those.

And where would be the fun in that?

Then I could steal yours when I felt like it.

[HMM. He will ponder this as they near the village edge.]

In that case, it will have to be in some sort of bright color.

[Just so he can laugh when Isamu wears it.]
