[With the chaos of the fire over and the smoke cleared (literally and figuratively, really), Jin's settled into hanging around the Audentes campsite. He's helping teammates set up and maintain their camps, aiding townspeople in rebuilding, eavesdropping on all of your gossip, brainstorming wildly on how to deal with the Yeerks Taraxa, the like.

He's got a way more important thing to share with the 'net today, though.]

Um.

[Jin's sitting somewhere in the camp in front of someone's tent, looking a little sheepish-- and holding a mess of dark, unruly hair out of his face.

Help.]

Can I borrow a hair tie? None of the ones the Qorral sell are strong enough. [pause.] I've still got a lot of the ALASTAIR stipend, I'll pay you back with something from the trading post-- I just need something.

I hope your last tie snaps while you're fighting a sand worm.

[fivenareff]

Mm, no hair tie. You can borrow some gel if you'd like, though, in the meantime. You might be able to get away with braiding it and sealing the end off with gel.

[pummelling]

[HE'S NOT A HEATHEN, POLNAREFF!!!]

Trust me: it's definitely not going to work. Braiding and just tying off the end might...

[onethousen]

... Do you want to borrow mine until you find a few that'll work for you?

[ In camp at the moment too, she's now looking around to figure out where he is so hi. ]

[pummelling]

[chihiro, you pure soul]

Maybe just for a little bit. Swear I'll give it back soon?

audio ( m.upshur ).

[upshur]

Just cut it.

fucking rude, audio

[pummelling]

Yeah, because I totally asked for your input on that.

[Before engaging this conversation, Giorno . . . looks down at the small sea of hairties he's keeping with him at all times, then considers his options. It's against general principles to do anything for people who have condescended to him. On the other hand, having hair in your face is about as close to hell as he personally believes in.]

[Difficult. He sighs.]

You should have thought ahead. Just one?

[pummelling]

[spoken somewhat stiffly:] They didn't exactly give us an ample amount of time to pack before our initial team left Oska.

[scheduling, as it seems, isn't one of ALASTAIR's strong suits.]

Just one. I'll return it.

Can't you just find like, a rubber band? I don't know if they've invented them here yet, though...

[pummelling]

No.

[KEATS THATS FUCKING HORRIFYING IMAGINE TAKING YOUR HAIR OUT OF THAT]

It has to be an actual hair tie.

[ Koltira, being a blood elf, well knows the needs of thick hair. His own has remained so, even in death. ]

You may have some of mine. I've got plenty.

[pummelling]

[um.

it's kind of jarring, to speak to koltira so casually after that GIANT MESS, but he can't just never speak to him about anything ever, right?]

Uh, thanks, Koltira. You sure?

[Here's a familiar face, but she's got a completely different demeanor right now and a broken horn.]

They keeping breaking for you, too? If I had my hair ribbons I would have offered you one, but I wasn't wearing them when I fell through the rift. Sorry...

[She's used to wearing it down, but still... Now that she was camping out, it would have been nice to keep her hair out of her face.]

[pummelling]

No problem. I've got a few other offers, and...

[?????

jin looks into the camera with a confused expression.]

Hey, do I know you? Swear I've seen your face before.

un: RHY5-W1NZ

[dbag]

Counter-offer: you get an actually good haircut.

[pummelling]

Big words from a guy whose hair's completely solidified. Nice helmet, though.

voice, @TARANTO

[heavyhitter]

Ooh, keep it down.

[pummelling]

There's way too much of it. It'll just keep getting in my face.

Looks like you've managed to bum something off of somebody. (yeah, he's stalking.) If you still need an extra, though, use the hood's drawstrings. Y'know, on the uniforms. It's not like anyone's fucking using 'em anyway.

(this is as helpful as hiruma'll ever get, but that's because hair is serious business.)

[pummelling]

That's the most practical impractical suggestion I've heard so far, thanks.

[at least it isnt a rubber band lookin @ u polnareff]

I think I've used my uniform coat all of once, though. You have a point.

audio; un: sharpshooter

[endeudado]

You should braid it. Friend of mine did that and just kinda put it up in a bun or wrapped it around her neck. Yours looks long enough.

[pummelling]

[Jin fiddles with the ends of his hair, thoughtfully--]

Don't know how I feel about tying my hair around my hair. Besides, I'd still need a hair tie for that.

AUDIO. UN: LOKI

[selfimage]

[ there's a long, suffering sigh. ]

Have you tried a more durable style?

[pummelling]

Well, the braid worked out for a while, but I'm just used to wearing it up like this.

[not.... like now, cause it's not up. but.]

Cutting it is out of the question.

[heelies]

[All these haters, insisting that hair so long ought to be cut... Worry not, for he has got you, fam.]

A leather thong ought to hold. Have they none throughout all the marketplace?
