Of all the things that could have happened next,the one Taylor
least expected,to measure the mishi' pishu's various body measurement,including some extremely uncomfortable close
encounters with the shape shifting girls human anatomy,get
her the lingerie,brassies,vests,skirts,blouses and the like
was what happened.
She giggled at the discomfort she was causing to the young adult male,but the mishi'pishu got him through his first close encounter with the female body.
Then,having cast her discarded 250 year old deerhide skirt and vest and buffalo robes behind for a more modern outfit
the smartly dressed mishi'pishu paid Taylor in 250 year old Ancien Regime French coins and traipsed out of the store.
Which left Taylor with his four relatives still frozen
in time as well as some rather soiled and smelly native American
womans clothing,possibly cursed,the old coinage
and a rusty 300 year old wheel lock pistol
to deal with,as well as a bag that Taylor knew probably held the
secret to unfreezing his mom and three sisters.
Outside it appeared the rest of the world was also still froxen in time.
