Well. Now that it seems all the new lambs have been brought to our pleasant little hamlet, might I ask a question?

Is there anyone in this village licensed to be a beautician? A hair stylist? Manicurist? Anyone? There is only so much a lady can do for herself.

And only so long she can stand neglecting the finer things in life.

Let me know if you find one. Another week or two and I'm going to have to consider a new hair style.

[voice]

[erythrophilia]

Oh and that would be a tragedy. You've such nice hair.

[voice]

[poorneedyand]

Oh--well. [Kay sounds genuinely surprised. She's mostly out of practice at talking with other women on anything approaching a daily basis.] Thank you. Yours is nice, too.

[voice]

[erythrophilia]

Why thank you. I do try to take care of it, even here.

A bit more difficult. Can you believe I'm getting split ends? It's horrific!

[ hmm. what a familiar voice to hear while waiting for her late evening dinner guest to arrive.

buffy wants to filter this but...no, there's no immediate excuse to. dammit. she'll have to risk it but hopefully the pirate's well and busy with his norrington-impersonating. ]

I'm starting to think we'll never get lucky in that department.

[ voice ]

[erythrophilia]

So it's true. Not a single one to be found?

[Hello, Buffy. Hello indeed.]

How is it that we've so many residents and not a single stylist?

[ voice ]

[slaying]

Guess this dimension's got more of a taste for the heroic.

[ voice ]

[erythrophilia]

Unfortunately for us.

They simply don't know how to treat a woman.

The Malnosso, not the heroes. Heroes tend to be rather good at that.

I can highly recommend the seamstress at All Passions. [Very, very highly, judging by Dawn's reaction to the new gown.]

[voice]

[erythrophilia]

Oh, yes, well. For clothes and such certainly. But what of our nails? Our hair? What about getting facials and spa treatments?

We're terribly lacking in that department.

[voice]

[noprevaricating]

Lead powder? I'm not sure, Miss Sutcliffe. You might be surprised how many men prefer women who haven't been fussed over too much.

[voice]

[erythrophilia]

Oh? And do you count yourself among them, love?

[voice---really bad filter]

[lists_to_port]

I think you look ravishing, Mistress Grell; don't change a thing, eh?

[And yes---he is listening in on that conversation with Buffy.]

[voice---really bad filter]

[erythrophilia]

Flatterer.

How have you been, my darling Jack? Out ruining your soul's salvation, I expect?

[voice---really bad filter]

[lists_to_port]

[And on the one with Kennedy too, blast it.]

Oh, aye---you know me and my devil-may-care turn at life, lovely. A bit of marauding, a bit of swindling, a cheat or two just to keep my hand in. And you?

[voice---really bad filter]

[erythrophilia]

How lovely.

I've been doing what I always do.

Watching people.

[ voice ]

[hippocraticly]

You know, I asked if this place had a barbers a few months ago. Sounds like no one took up shop.

[ voice ]

[erythrophilia]

I don't see how it can be so hard to find one... [SIGH]

I wonder what it is going to take to find this place a proper stylist.

[ voice ]

[hippocraticly]

If you want my guess? Probably when someone qualified comes along.

[ voice ]

[erythrophilia]

Ugh, I do not want to wait a hundred years to find someone again. This is so unfair.
