w5, monday

[ well. shu hasn't actually been in here since the week it opened, not after everything that went down in here with margaret's death and whatever sora had done. but he's not against being dragged in here after the fact -- not that he knows much about spa treatments or anything. ]

I think the last time I was in here, Rodya did something to my hair.

[applebough]

Really? What did it look like?

[ Yuri is so curious. Shu with a different hairstyle?? Huh???

Anyway, she leads him to the manicure counter so that he can sit on the stool. ]

What colors should I pick?

[roseoftexas]

Pigtails.

She also wanted to see if I actually smile sometimes.

[ which he does, just. y'know. my icons don't reflect that. he'll let her drag him over to the manicure counter and get him sat down because-- he's really not that fussed about having his nails done, so if she's wanting to do manicures then so be it. ]

... Blue? [ me looking up manicures and finding this. ] People usually associate blue with me.

[applebough]

[ Beautiful. Yuri will take respective colors and tools for that and finally seat herself on the opposite stool so that she can get started. Time to do the manicure process... ]

Blue would look nice, but why are you usually associated with it? Is it because of how calm you usually are?

[roseoftexas]

[ he just flicks the end of his hair. because this is bustafellows, all the guys have a tone of colour at the edge of their hair. it's just less obvious with shu, but it's kinda grey/blue. ]

[applebough]

[ The spa's lighting really shows the blue tints well, so when Shu points it out, Yuri sees it clearly. ]

Oh.

[ That's such a simple reason than expected. ]

Do you want a blue streak in your hair? I think that would look interesting.

[roseoftexas]

[ the mods are reminding us that it's Too Hot on this ship today so i need to go and find him a cool summer fit to go with the blue tints in his hair. ]

... Could do. This stuff's a wash out dye, isn't it?

[applebough]

[ Yeah, Yuri is wearing a gray t-shirt and regular pants. I forgot to include this earlier, but she's also wearing the heattech poncho. She's making use of her purchase already. ]

Yes. I'm not sure if there's a permanent version, so if you really don't mind it, we'll have to read the labels carefully.

[ Yuri seems pretty decent at giving Shu a manicure. She's done filing, cleaning, etc and now it's time to apply the colors. ]

[roseoftexas]

[ oh right the heattech. shu has one of those too, assigns him wearing it. ]

It'll say wash in wash out, or temporary -- I think those would be better than semi-permanent or permanent.

[ he'll keep his hand steady for her. also he has a handlebar moustache now.


it's fine. ]

[applebough]

[ Yuri is looking down, concentrating on applying the coats and colors. When it's time for a quick UV dry session, she gets out the machine and finally looks up at Shu— ]

... A mustache?

[roseoftexas]

[ blinks. ]

A what? [ HE CAN'T MOVE HIS HANDS TO TOUCH HIS FACE AAA. ]

[applebough]

Wait a moment, please...

[ She tries to stay calm while drying each of Shu's fingers. Good thing they're all painted and basically done. There. Now she's done. ]

... Is your hair weighing down your left side of the mustache...?

[roseoftexas]

[ uhhhh. he's not sure if he can move his hands. ]

I... don't think so? I wasn't even aware I had one.

[ help. his majestic facial hair. ]

[applebough]

[ She sees Shu not moving his hands, so Yuri will just gently touch one of the fingernails that she painted and shows Shu. Completely dry! ]

You can move your fingers now. I think it just popped up out of nowhere... I guess someone cursed you with a giant mustache.

[roseoftexas]

[ oh. hey.

impressive. ]

...

Could be worse, I guess. I could be a random animal.

[applebough]

[ Yuri would suggest to try and cut it off, but she's not well-versed in shaving mustaches and doesn't want to accidentally hurt Shu. ]

I think a puppy would be cute.

[ Thinks back on his wolf ears fondly... ]

[roseoftexas]

[ imagine they shave it and it just immediately grows back but more majestic. i guess he just has this facial hair now. ]

A puppy. [ hmmmm. ]

I'm kinda hoping I avoid the animal curse entirely.

[applebough]

Because then you might do something that you don't want to be remembered by?

[ Kisses? Not on her mind for some reason. ]

[roseoftexas]

[ (meme voice) would she kiss him if he was a cursed puppy ]

I think I like having two legs and two arms over all the alternatives.

[applebough]

[ She would give him cute kisses on the nose and head. ]

A koala also has two legs and arms...

[roseoftexas]

[ acceptable and understandable. ]

...

Human two legs and arms.

[applebough]

[ Yuri giggles a little. ]

... I would still like you either way.

[ She feels a bit shy after admitting that, so she just finishes that off with some lighthearted laughter. ]

[roseoftexas]

I imagine I'd be more universally cute with koala ears.

[ missed opportunities.

he'll make a c'mere motion with his hand. ]

You want yours doing too? I've never painted nails before, but I've got pretty steady hands.

[applebough]

[ He would though. ]

Oh, um... yes.

[ Yuri gets up and returns with more colors. ]

Do you think you can do what I did on yours? Except with these colors.

[ They're similar to her hair color. ]

[roseoftexas]

[ rewind to random animal features week.



he leans forward in his chair to look at the colours, and his own nails. ] ... The gradient's done with a sponge? I can give it a try.

[ he's not promising perfection. ]
