[Action - At Work]
[Being the wife in a domestic setting was nice for the most part, but being able to work only 'feminine' jobs was kind of a let down. Still, she had secured a place in the library shelving books and it brought back memories of her childhood.

It wasn't anything like she expected though, considering that the books were either 'How to Make 100 Casserole Dishes' to 'Sewing and You'. The creepy obsession with the 1950s stereotype was kind of making Hayate queasy in her own way.]


Maybe I should try to find something to read after this...



[Anywhere in Town]
[Shopping for food was something she was intimiately familiar with, being that she provided for herself for many years, and then helped a group of people grow into their roles. Still, she clucked her tongue at the prices. They were horribly inflated that day even for the prices that were typically found during the time period they were supposively inhabiting.

Waving the grocery boy over, she held up an orange, and put on her best 'Fussy Lady' powers.]


Young man, I've got a complaint. Three for a dollar? That's highway robbery! They're at least worth sixty cents for five. I mean look at the condition these are in! They're mushy on the inside, and the skin is broken on many of them. I demand a lower price for these, or I will find my business at Grovers instead of Barnums!

[The young man whimpered and stammered an apology, and soon Hayate was loaded with good produce for the best prices. As she left the store, she grinned, having made out like a bandit.]

Still got it.



[Event]
[Hayate kept running. There was nothing for it, and those horrible things were after her. She had no powers, and only a stick in her hand. Hurdling a fallen log, or maybe that was a charred person, she kept running and running and running. Her lungs burned and she realized she really was reduced to squishie mage, emphasis on squishie.

There really wasn't anything for it, and Hayate inhaled as she turned the corner, daring to raise her voice in this absolutely frustrating, and horriflying. situation.]


EEEEEK! SOMEONE SAVE ME!

Is whatever it is that's chasing her any stranger than the anthropomorphic peacock she just barrelled into while screeching?

While she may have run into him, she doesn't knock him over and, in fact, he manages to pivot, letting her momentum continue while he remained more or less stationary.

"Watch where you're going!" he shouts with that level of indignance that only the English (or those with English voice actors) can achieve.

"Do tell?" he answers, peering round the corner. It's as though he really doesn't care about her or her monsters. Probably because he doesn't.

"I... see." Does he? All that greets his eyes is an alleycat stalking a few trashcans.

"Ailurophobic, I take it?" Don't laugh, Shen, it's undignified. Don't laugh, don't laugh don't laugh--

Snicker. Snicker chortle hee hee hee....

A heavy blush like that would make most people stop laughing and possibly even apologise. However, Shen is not from Japan and, furthermore, is royalty, so he has no such instinct. Instead, he chortles and snickers even more. Clearly, this is the funniest thing he's seen all day.
