Are you trying to say I’m not flawless?

[ rude.

but oh. he referenced her being human without freaking out….. character growth ]

[unsync]

[ To be fair he didn't say human. Just solid. ]

The cons of living in the material world, Tama...

[ballies]

[ boy ]

It’s fiiine. Long hair is different, you don’t notice the growth so much.

[unsync]

Until the split ends get you...

[ Tama and her blissful ignorance about girl world and girl woes, like dry hair and cold showers. You are Barbie, ma'am. ]

[ballies]

[ ???! ]

Don’t curse me like that!

[unsync]

It's not a curse, it's just reality!

[ Death, taxes, and dry hair. ]

[ballies]

My hair is fine!! Stop deflecting from your hair!!

[ aaaaaaaaa ]

If you don’t want to do anything with your hair though, why don’t you let me do your nails?

[unsync]

What's wrong with my hair? I shower regularly!

[ And wash like every two days or something. Shampooing every day is bad for the hair. ]

My nails?

[ He looks at them. They're very normal nails, nothing spectacular about them. ]

[ballies]

[ me who aggressively did not wash my hair all weekend to protect my hair colour: yeah! say thank you to dry shampoo ]

When did I say you don’t?

[ ???! ]

Yeah! You can paint them. It’s fun. You’d look good with black nails, especially with your usual colour scheme. [ halloween coloured lil guy ]

[unsync]

Isn't black a little intense?

[ It's really goth core. Are you sure that'd work on him, Tama? ]

[ballies]

Did you have any other preferences?

[ “not” isn’t an answer ]

[unsync]

No... because I never thought about it.

Isn't clear protective coat a thing?

[ballies]

…..

Can do one of those pearlescent ones?

[unsync]

[ Did she even do her own nails. ]

You just want to use my hands as a guinea pig, don't you?

[ballies]

[ they are actually painted! ]

Hehe.

Come ooon. If you don’t like it we can take them off afterwards.

[unsync]

[ Sighs... ]

Fine. Nothing crazy.

[ballies]

[ yeah!!!!!!!

she'll pick something out that has a little opacity to it, but will really just make his nails look faintly colourd and glossy. like syurp polishes. ]

[unsync]

[ Wowie. Did she still decide on black? He's a good client if anything, very still. ]

[ballies]

[ not exactly black… it’s darker toned and pearly but not black black. ]

…

Ryuki, I had a question.

[unsync]

What is it?

[ Me assuming this is have and not had but I guess it wouldn't change his response either way. ]

[ballies]

Have you seen some of the notes that have been going around? The ones people come back on Thursday with?

[ the way she’s been like i should talk to ryuki about this and the weekends have been blasting me into space. ]

[unsync]

Oh, um, yeah. A little bit. Rita showed me one about two weeks ago, and Nimona talked to me a little bit about them but I haven't seen anything new.

Did you get one?

[ballies]

[ she nods a little hesitantly, and then shows him this on her phone:

`If any one of these teams would be entirely wiped, those teams will become part of this world. Every member will believe they have always lived in this world, forgetting where they hail from. They'll become citizens who will be powerless and clueless during the next cycle.`


she does stop painting his nails for this. wow. ]

[unsync]

[ His nails are drying Tama I hope you paused at a good spot for this. ]

Oh... yeah. This is what Nimona told me about.

And we think, maybe, you know -- the citizens...

[ballies]

[ yeah, they look ✨ flawless ✨ ]

The ones we run into around the city? Yeah. One of the ones I keep running into, he was entirely clueless about what happened at the trials and why they were happening.

It was just— “a villain is being punished” and no thoughts beyond that.
