I need to get my hair dyed. Does anyone know a good place?

[Someone has chosen not to use the video function because his brown roots are actually starting to be pretty noticeable. Whoops.]Also, what the hell was that thing that was tearing through the city the other day? I thought the monsters were only supposed to come out at night

If you find a good place, could you let me know? [ She touches her own short locks, even if he can't see it. ] I'll probably need to do the same in a month or two, myself...

Or you could always get someone to dye it for you! You could buy a kit from a store.

voice;

[goesberserk]

Ahh, you dye it too? [Though it makes sense, as she's another Japanese person with blond hair. He just hadn't thought about it.] I'm gonna check the mall for a place.

Using those kits seems too risky...

voice;

[topslug]

Yeah, since high school. [ How she got away with it, who knows. ]

You think so? I haven't had any trouble with them... you just have to make sure you don't leave it on too long.

voice;

[goesberserk]

Ahh. Same here. [He's curious for her reasons, but doesn't want to bother her with asking.]

It just seems safer to go somewhere and have it done, I guess.

What color was your hair before you started dying it, Heiwajima-san?

I guess so. But now that I think about it... I'll probably end up having to dye my own hair, since I don't exactly have a lot of cash to throw around.

voice;

[goesberserk]

It was brown. How about you?

Ahh, that's true. Doing that kind of thing is pretty expensive.

Black. I take after my dad. [ Her tone turns wistful, for a moment, before it returns to its usual upbeat self. ] In any case, if you ever decide to get it done at home instead, I'd be happy to help you with it!

voice;

[goesberserk]

Are you good at it?

voice;

[topslug]

Well, I haven't made myself go bald yet! [ Her grin is practically audible. ]

I've gotten plenty of practice since I started traveling around. I never really had time to go to a hairdresser's, so I had to learn to do it myself.

voice;

[goesberserk]

Where did you travel?

voice;

[topslug]

Wherever I had work to do-- all over the world, more or less?

voice;

[goesberserk]

Huh. What kind of work?

voice;

[topslug]

You could say I was a negotiator! I usually ended up having to try and sort out problems like hostage takings and that kind of thing.

voice;

[goesberserk]

[Okay, it's kind of surprising that someone so young is doing something like that. But Shizuo doesn't give it more than a moment of thought.] So more interesting than what you're doing here.

voice;

[topslug]

I guess you could look at it that way. To be honest, though, it's kind of... nice, getting a chance to live normally again. [ Beat. ] Well, as normal as it gets here, anyway.

voice;

[goesberserk]

Yeah, not sure if this place counts as normal. But it's good that you can find something to like about it.
