I／Dimensional Shifting - Backdated to Monday
[Action ; 1765 Beaver Street]
[Good morning, house. Upon coming down to the kitchen, you will find several cupboards open and some random kitchenware scattered around on the counter. By the dining table is a redheaded woman in ponytail wearing glasses, looking awfully scornful with a sewing kit as she fusses over a white blouse.
No food has been made, but there is instant coffee ready, which she is drinking from as she works on the shirt. Really, the fashion of this era wasn't terrible, but Touko liked her shirts tight, okay, so give her 5 minutes to make some minor adjustments...
There's also a pamphlet sitting on the corner of the table. Yes, the newbie's handwaved infodump guide to Mayfield. She knows where she is, but she can be concerned about it after she's happy with her clothes first.]
[Phone]
[A business-like assertive female voice is on the other side of the line.] This is beyond ridiculous, but if I'm going to have to stay here for a while, then I'll make myself comfortable. Where in this town are cigarettes sold, and what's the best coffee brand? Ah, the instant one is drinkable, but it's still terrible. It's fine if it's expensive, I still want to try it out.
...
Oi, wait a minute. 1950ies America... !!! [There's a clear sound of snapping fingers.] Is there a candy shop in town, too? There's something that I have to check out!
[Action ; Town]
[So she managed to score a tight white blouse and black pants that, while not identical, are similar to what she usually wears back home. Touko gives no fucks to drones who thinks this isn't feminine or modest enough - they're probably just jealous because she's more stacked than they are and doesn't bother to button her shirt all the way to the top. She is wearing her glasses and pacing down with light steps, looking strangely chipper despite the fact that she's a new face in town. She's out in part to see the town better for herself, in part to meet people, and last but not least, shop for some must-haves.
The red handbag that she found digging through the house was big enough to carry, though, so just have an inordinately cheerful-looking woman taking her sweet time looking around. She will stop by some places in particular, in addition to just wandering around:
A - Jewelry store. She'll need to get a necklace or a pair of earrings, if nothing else. ...Oh, that shade of topaz look nice... Can she milk some cash out of her "husband", here?
B - John Doe Park, sitting by a bench having a smoke. If you walk by an opportune time, you might just catch her drawing a symbol in the air and muttering to herself. Investigate?
C - Jonathon's Tools. You might catch her chatting pleasantly with the drone clerk, chirping up that her husband's too tired to come himself, so she's over taking a look to let him know what's available. That, and she eventually plans to get him a tool too, but it's a ~surprise~, so it should be a ~*secret*~! He'll let her buy something in that case, won't he? She hasn't decided yet, but it's probably going to be tools of craft, pertaining to wood and plastic and so on.
The drone is soaking it all up. Looks like this woman won't have much trouble getting what she wants bought here, provided that she has the cash for it. She'll go back to browsing after that exchange's done; is she the only one at the store?]
