Tell me someone has managed to find a hair dresser in this damn place.
Merde, I'll settle for a can of paint at this point.
It's an emergency.

My hair nearly touches the ground. I'm happy to fix your hair for you. If anyone here can do it, I can.

...Why is it an emergency?

[notthislife]

It's not the grooming that's the problem. Trust me, I can handle that. The issue is that.
Is that...
Putain, am I really going to talk about this in public?

Forget I said anything.

[forwander]

You're more than welcome to come to the workshop if you'd like to discuss it privately.

...assuming you're in the Grove? I'm more than happy to find one of those doors and come to Night Vale if I must.

[notthislife]

No, no it's. Best if no one sees me like this.
I'm just having an issue. A minor one that certainly hasn't happened before.

[rabbithearted]

Hell, I wish.

[notthislife]

That hardly bodes well for me. Any chance you live under a rock and just aren't up to date?

[rabbithearted]

Live under a rock, yes. Slacking in my hunt for a hairstylist, never.

Hey, how many hands do you have?

[notthislife]

I'm doomed then, is it?

... Two. Why do you ask?

[timidheart]

For all the commerce our little town has brought about ...that IS a profession strangely lacking here, isn't it...

[notthislife]

You aren't exactly delivering good news here, you know.

[timidheart]

Ah- sorry! Forgive me!

You're looking for hair color, yes...? If you are trapped in that strange town right now, you might have some luck looking in a pharmacy for the materials. Failing that...perhaps Heimr-san may have some?

[notthislife]

Pharmacy. Right. They...
They sell that sort of stuff there? I'm used to having to visit professionals.
"Professionals." As if that broomstick of an apprentice has any right to be handling hair.

... ignore that.

[kingincognito]

I'm sorry, a what?

[notthislife]

Paint. For a desperate man to in theory paint his hair with in a fit of desperation that will almost definitely ruin its natural luster.

... Unless you don't know what a hair dresser is?

[kingincognito]

I'm afraid I do not.

Why would you paint your hair? Or dress it, for that matter?

[notthislife]

Because -

Because sometimes, certain people (not me) find that their hair has turned... a slightly lighter shade. You know, natural part of aging. And some people (again, not me) would prefer to not look that way. So said people (still not me) will dye their hair to hide that part of themselves.

[cryopathy]

Some of us are into silver foxes, you know. ;)

[notthislife]

ARTFULLY SILVER AT BEST

[cryopathy]

It's handsome! And perfectly natural!

[notthislife]

I assure you, nothing about this is natural.

[jesterlies]

I could fix it for youuuuuuu

But you might not like the

[notthislife]

You know. I think I'd take blue and glittery over this hell that I'm in.
Sign me up.

[nitrotempered]

Just trim your own hair.

[notthislife]

It has nothing to do with trimming, as I've already said.

[nitrotempered]

Not to me, I'm not over here obsessively reading everything you've said.
