I never thought I'd have an admirer from overseas
Who: sittingtype and topslug
When: the twenty-first of December, sometime in the afternoon
Where: The underground mall, then moving from there
Summary: John and Yako bump into each other whilst shopping!
Warnings: Awkwardness!
[ John knew that by putting off Christmas shopping until this late in the month, he was asking for trouble. although to be fair, his procrastination wasn't completely intentional - the midnight channel had succeeded in getting under his skin and the injury from earlier on in the month had done a bang up good job of shaking up his routine to the point that when he realized it was the twenty-first, he'd started to get worried and set off for the mall.
as he predicted, it's packed with shoppers and what was supposed to be a moderately east task is instead blighted by the stiffness and heaviness of his leg and a distinct lack of inspiration for the people he is shopping for; just what do you buy someone when humility isn't a viable option? John’s utterly stumped and looks around with little success.
the only saving grace of finding his hand drawn to a hospital cane again was some people do try and get out of his way when they see him coming... at least, until a particularly large woman with bags barges past him, catching the doctor by the elbow that leaves him reeling. he purses his lips together in thinly-veiled frustration, although a sarcastic remark does manage to find a way to get by as he hobbles off again. ]
Yeah, don't mind me or anything.
