[BZZZZT!]

Ow! Stupid computerphone!

...Oh, right. [Gadget reaches up, grabbing a lock of hair with two fingers. His spikes are less uniform than they once were, and a few inches lower, sitting around his shoulders rather than the back of his head and neck -- and is that a dusting of silver at his temples?]So how do you go about

But then it'd be all uneven!

...An alien named Michelangelo?

I don't want to look like I just rolled out of bed, either!

So how does a turtle get the name Michelangelo?

Well now, if you really like I might be able to give you a nice trim. All depends on your sense of style, and what you can offer me in return. Perhaps some information? Why did you yelp like a wounded dog just a little while ago, and what does it have to do with these communicators.

[always_on_duty]

Thanks! Are you in Spero?

Oh... I dunno, the computerphones shock people sometimes. I don't know why.

[sojournsparrow]

Sadly no, I currently reside in Discedo. How far of a journey is it to Spero from here by foot?

Truly? I had no idea that these devices were so temperamental! I shall need to remember to be on guard so as not to be electrified by it myself.

[always_on_duty]

Aww. You can't, it's on the other side of a lake. When I come back I'll come see you, though!

A... haircut? [Well, yes, she's surprised he's even worried about a haircut in this kind of place. BUT LOOK AT THIS GIRL, SHE CLEARLY DOESN'T KNOW THE MEANING OF GETTING A HAIRCUT...]

[always_on_duty]

That's what I said!

[battledancing]

That's not what I'd call a necessity, but I'm sure we can find a razor or other sharp objects to cut hair with...

[always_on_duty]

I'd rather try to find someone who knows what they're doing. [If at all possible.] It's not that urgent. [A few more inches, and it'll be urgent.]

[You totally missed this kid, right Gadget?]

I would assume just as you just did-- by asking.

[always_on_duty]

...Okay then.
