[Video] Getting her bearings....

[unlimited_shipping_works]

[This new arrival doesn't seem all that bothered by being brought to this strange world.]

Hey, guys!

I just got into town and I was wondering if some of the veterans around here could lend me a hand.

[Actually, she seems pretty chipper about the whole thing.]

Are there any stores around here with a decent selection of doujinshi? Some hobby shops would be nice too... or any place that sells figures.

If I'm in a different universe I should be able to pick up some really sweet exclusive merchandise~

[Yeah, this is completely a multidimensional shopping trip.]

Oh, and is there a cosplay cafe?



And is it always this hot around here? In December?

Well, the thing is, this place. It kinda grabs everybody from all sorts of dimensions, right? And I'm sure you're familiar with the idea that what's fictional in one world is reality in another?

[unlimited_shipping_works]

Of course! Everything is real somewhere, right? But what's that got to do with collecting some choice merchandise?

[ghost_shield]

Well, just... I mean, I guess there's no problems with collecting merchandise, but I probably wouldn't go around harassing folks if you recognize them from your entertainment, since they probably don't realize they're famous somewhere, and might not appreciate the reasons WHY they're famous.

Sorry to be a killjoy, it's just... well, we used to get this sort of thing back home, and it'd freak out a lot of the new folks. The guy who ran the bookstore near the waterfront was rumored to have actually thrown a book at the head of someone who wouldn't leave well enough alone, actually.

Aw, c'mon! Don't you think it would be cool to find out that in some world you were the main character in an awesome anime?

[Her enthusiasm remains undampened. Actually, she may be even more excited.]

There might be figures of you or posters. How amazing would it be to buy merchandise of yourself or your friends?

[ghost_shield]

*ahem*

*And in a slightly higher-pitched, enthusiastic voice:*

Oh wow! Hi Mr. Insert Person Here! I remember you from my favorite TV show! Sorry your entire family got slaughtered, but at least you got a lot of cool powers out of it, right? Okay, I know your powers are the ones that KILLED them, but regardless. By the way, you should really hide that porn collection better.

*And then he just... eyes her.*

[unlimited_shipping_works]

[There is a long silence. Then she starts laughing.]

That was great! Good impersonation. I've never seen that show, but it sounds interesting.

[She's joking there, pretty sure he just made that plot up.]

You're pretty sensitive though. Did someone do this to you, or are you just into the social justice thing?

[ghost_shield]

*Insert facevault here.*

I'm SAYING that some people may not appreciate what they think are their deepest darkest demons getting brought up in the name of identifying a fan of theirs! And beyond that, even if it's entertaining at home, some folks might find having someone they don't know who knows everything about them kinda creepy!

Criminy, what if someone came up to you and listed every single thing about YOUR life they found out in a comic book?

[unlimited_shipping_works]

[Okay, she's pretty sure he's just a social justice warrior. Well meaning but all kinds of sensitive. His next point is exciting though.]

Oh wow, that would be so cool! Do you think there really is an anime about me somewhere?

[Actually, she's pretty sure that if it did exist, the show would be about Dotachin instead of her.]

[ghost_shield]

...you really don't have much of a sense of discretion, do you?

[unlimited_shipping_works]

Yeah, Dotachin tells me that all the time.

[And really she is okay with that.]
