[inadvertently]

Does anyone have any hair dye? [ a certain someone's roots are showing like crazy. ] I think I could use a haircut too. [ somewhere off screen and further back, JD the dog gives a wheezy bark. Shizuo turns away for a second. ] You probably could too, huh?

Anyway. The name's Heiwajima Shizuo. If you've got any let me know.

[ and throughout the day, the fortissimo of ikebukuro can be seen running a few quick errands. laundry, grocery shopping, even the occasional pause at the fountain to shoot it a dirty look.

that evening, he can be found in the bar with his sad, sorry looking mutt trotting at his heels. don't be surprised if the animal sits at your table and watches you in hopes that you've got some scraps to give him. ]

Hair....hair dye?

[NOT EVEN TOUCHING THE SUBJECT OF CUTTING, YET.]

[moezuo.livejournal.com]

Yeah. Something wrong with that?

sorry so fail lately; notifs dying seriously killed my RP drive.

Why would you want to change your hair color? [The subject makes her nervous; Gothel has warned her of what happens when her hair turns color: the magic is gone. That one short brown strand is the shameful evidence.]

[moezuo.livejournal.com]

Habit. [ he guesses. after years of changing his hair color, he's just not used to seeing it brown... it's sort of funny, considering how hard he'd fought against the idea of changing the hair color his parents gave him in the beginning. ]

I've thought about this before. [A pause.] Like---a person with beautiful golden hair might be a brown-haired person underneath? And that brown-haired person might not have anything very special about them? So the beautiful golden-haired person has to do whatever is in her power to keep her beautiful golden hair from turning into that not-very-special brown shade.


...Where do you find the dye?

[maybe she can change that brown lock back.]

[moezuo.livejournal.com]

[ uh... ]

Hair color isn't really that special.

[paintsthewalls.livejournal.com]

No! I think it's VERY special! And--and I'd love to know where you find the dye! [Because now she needs to dye that brown away. Mother had always picked at her about it, like nagging about some kind of bad birthmark.]

There's a kid from the 'Bukuro here that has some. [ holy shit what sort of crazy face are you making girl ]

[paintsthewalls.livejournal.com]

The "'Bukuro"? [She does not know this word.] Do you think he'd be willing to let me borrow some?

[He might not, if he has something against long-haired people. Rapunzel doesn't know. Some people here receive her hair length well, others seem to think she's a freak.]

[moezuo.livejournal.com]

[ you're such a weird girl. ] Try asking him? His name's Masaomi Kida.
