[FILTERED FROM: AKANE (OBVIOUS REASONS) AND IZAYA (because he would ruin everything...and could probably still hack into this because Shizuo is not that tech savvy sob.)]

[well. this is awkward.]

...Anyone know what a 10 yr-old girl would want for Christmas?

[and if one were to look, they would notice him standing in the middle of a toy store

[unindicative]

[... Oh, Brother. Akane's definitely a good influence on you.]

Do you want me to come over there? I need to buy something for her as well...

[hatesviolence]

[only for certain people.]

Kasuka...what about your job?

[unindicative]

I can go during my break.

[hatesviolence]

Well if it's okay...

Where are you?

[poet_of_piano]

Hmm....

Perhaps a doll of her favorite animal?

[hatesviolence]

A doll, huh...[tilts head] Guess I should ask her. [what her favorite animal is, that is.]

[poet_of_piano]

[He gives a small smile.]

I hope that works.

[hatesviolence]

Yeah...

Thanks. [and he means it]

[springisbright]

She might like a game.

[hatesviolence]

A game, huh? [ponder] What kind?

[springisbright]

Any kind! Almost any game is fun.

[hatesviolence]

Hm... [think think. hold on, he's by the game aisle -- and as awkward and probably weird as this is, he might as well utilize her. she looks like a young kid, too, so bonus points. so going over...

....and staring at the giant wall of games. ..oh God, how is he supposed to choose!?]

.......Here, what looks good to you? [holding up the Dreamberry so she can see the section that he thinks looks all right. mostly kid games, some puzzles, IDK.]

[hacksinundies]

It might help if you know something she's into. Sports? Toys? Music?

[hatesviolence]

... [he has to think for a moment] I dunno...girl...things. [augh -- maybe he should have thought this through a bit more]

[hacksinundies]

[That gets a laugh from Jensen.]

Well, I can see why you're asking for help then.

I've got a niece a few years younger. She's part of a soccer team back home. Star of the team actually. [He's such a soccermomuncle.]

[hatesviolence]

[and his discomfort grows, dammit. but so far the guy's all right.]

...That's nice. [he actually means it in a nice way, though it might sound the complete opposite] ...Don't think she's into sports, though...[not yet anyway.]

[highwarlockmb]

Why are you gifting a ten year old girl?

[hatesviolence]

Because she's living with us and it's for Christmas. Why else?

[highwarlockmb]

I can't imagine. That's why I asked.

[hatesviolence]

[slight twitch.]

And you got your answer. [must. try. to remain. cool. he needs help and blowing up on someone was not going to help]

.....So got any advice?
