Greetings, my name is Pure Vanilla Cookie, please forgive me intrusion, but I was told this was the way to reach out to everyone. I have been given some information about this place, though I must admit I am have a difficult time understanding some things, and there is one question I have which I hope others may shed some light on? Has anyone else woken up here in a body not their own, yet with enough similarities to your former body that you can see the resemblance?

[Haha, what.]

No not really as far as Ive seen (Ive been here the longest hi Im Elsword)

I guess anything can happen though. Do you remember what you looked like before?

[purevanillacookie]

Hello! It is a pleasure to talk with you!

Oh yes, of course! I was a Cookie! Just my normal self, yellow icing, baked crispy dough. My icing seems to have been mimicked, though it's quite loose!

[simplicitas]

Wow cool! Are you from a world of cookies?

Im kind of glad youre not a cookie now because the animals here might eat you. And im sorry your icing is loose, do you know how to tighten it?

[purevanillacookie]

I am! It is truly fascinating to suddenly not be, but also a little worrying. I was in the middle of something quite important.

[WHAT IS WITH ALL THIS TALK OF EATING COOKIES. Is this land filled with Dragons? Leviathans?]

If that is the case, I am most pleased I am whatever I am now! And I assume butter is not an appropriate styling gel? It is almost like mozzarella, quite stringy, but soft!

[Hair. He's talking about his damn hair.]

[simplicitas]

A cookie world sounds really cool! You shud tell me about it some time

I wouldnt use butter on your hair no. You can get styling gel for hair at the shop that Mr Heimer runs. Butter is greezy and will mess up ur hair techtur (????) you want actual hair produks like shampoo and condishoner. He can probably help you or I can show you where it is if youre confused.

[purevanillacookie]

Of course, I would be delighted to! Simply ask whatever and I will answer!

[If he takes a moment it's because he's taking notes. His icing is called hair now. Butter is not good. Shampoo and conditioner?? For hair.]

Oh, being shown where would be most welcome, yes, please! I am unsure of most of these words. Shampoo and conditioner?

[simplicitas]

Okay can do

[and then Elsword's forgetful-ass brain will forget he's supposed to do this, RIP, he's just like this.]

Shampoo is what you put in your hair first. Its supost to get the stuff out of it, like the oil and the dry skin and the dirt and the leaves.

[most— most people do not go into the woods as much as you buddy—]

Condishoner is what makes it soft!

[purevanillacookie]

[Ah, he spelled it wrong. He'll correct it. Condishoner. He'll remember that. Elsword your spelling is catching on.]

Fascinating, thank you! I shall try this to restyle my hair!

[That's going to end badly and sort of goopily.]

What if your hair is already soft?

[simplicitas]

[Please do not spell things like Elsword does, he was not raised and cannot spell and has severe dyslexia.]

Then it keeps it soft. Your hair will get not soft if you neglekt it. Taking care of your hair is basic hijean.

[purevanillacookie]

[Hijean. He knows how to spell that word so the misspell makes him smile. That's cute.]

Hygiene. And you are quite correct, if hair is like wool, it will need constant care! I will keep these two items in mind. They are readily available at the General Store?

Ah, what about

[Whatever is covering him he hasn't talked to Heimr yet here.]

the body? Shampoo and Condishoner for that as well?

[simplicitas]

"Hygiene" why is it spelled like that

[English please explain]

It kind of depends. Most people use bar soap which is also in the shop. But theres a bunch of speshul stuff like body wash which is more like a lickwid soap and usually smells better, and some people use shaving creem for when they shave. Not everyone but it makes it easier. Youre new to having a body so you probably have a lot of hair in a lot of places like your armpits and chin and stuff. Its up to you if you want to get rid of that but thats what shaving cream and a razer blade are for.

Be careful with razer blades though they are VERY sharp and you can cut yourself using them!

[purevanillacookie]

I am not entirely sure! All I can deduce is what the Wizards left behind for us in the art of language. It is apparently an evolution of another word, meaning the art of health. Of course, please do take my correction with a grain of sugar, we are from two different worlds after all! Hijean sounds precisely like how it is said, and it indeed may be a way to spell it I am unaware of!

[Oh this is a lot. Bar soap. Body wash. Armpit hair?! No one is around to see Pure Vanilla give his armpit a cursory feel. Huh. Staff peek as well. There doesn't seem to be anything there. Yet. And nothing on his face. Hair on his face, how absurd!]

You can cut yourself?! That seems a little dangerous, is there nothing safer?

[Not worried about himself but now he's fretting over those who have hair to shave!]

[simplicitas]

[Wizards are fucking ruining language got damn.]

No I was probably wrong, I don't read or write well. It's okay.

Anyway yeah there's something called waxing but it really hurts. You take some kind of glue and cover whatever part of your body you want with it, then put a piece of tape over it after it dries and rip it off

The razer is actually less painful I swear

[purevanillacookie]

You are doing perfectly well!

[Excuse him, that sounds like torture? Just tugging on his wool doesn't feel that great, he can't imagine just... ripping it off.]

Ah... I think I shall avoid both of those, as much as I am able. I may have to break out the razor for shearing, if it comes to that.

[He's sheared his fare share of sheep, but never been sheared...]
