[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.

Counter-offer: you get an actually good haircut.

[pummelling]

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

[ EXCUSE YOU it's as soft as a baby bunny, he'll have jin executed for this slander ]

Ha, ha, ha, funny. That doesn't apply, though. Because it's blatantly untrue. But A for effort! And F-minus for your haircut. It's okay if you need to ask for some tips, everyone has to start somewhere. Liiike, for example, rock bottom.

I see you're speaking from experience? I think you might wanna wait until you've clawed yourself up from rock bottom to give me advice. On hair, and... pretty much everything, to be honest.

[dbag]

Hey, I'm qualified to give advice, I've got my shit together. Sooo together, it would blow your mind. You don't even have a hair tie, your shit is all over the place!

[pummelling]

That's where you're wrong. I've got a number of standing offers. Just look at the responses.

I mean, I could have done the rubber band thing that one guy was suggesting, but I also love myself, so...

[dbag]

But why, though.

[ WHY DO YOU LOVE YOURSELF!!! YOU'RE GROSS!!! Just kidding, he doesn't actually mean it (much), he's not that awful. ]

Is this like, a thing? Does everyone have big lion manes where you're from?

My family's pretty traditional, so a handful of men in my family wear their hair long too. Unless they're actively serving, in which case... they're bald.

Also, the thickness is in the genes. It's a thing.
