[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

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.]

[battledancing]

I don't think it will be very easy to find a, uh, barber around here, though.

[always_on_duty]

You don't have to be a barber to have experience, lots of people do it at home.

[battledancing]

Well, this is true. Sadly, I don't know of anyone with experience in that area, though.

[always_on_duty]

It's okay, I'll find somebody.

[battledancing]

I'm sorry I can't be of much help. I never did take care of my own hair all that well.

[always_on_duty]

It looks fine to me, though.

[battledancing]

Really? Mostly anyone I run across will usually tell me I should get it, uh, trimmed.

[always_on_duty]

No, it's pretty! As long as you like it, you shouldn't care what other people think anyway.

[battledancing]

Well, I do like it, but I also like to hear people's opinions, especially so when they're my friends.

[always_on_duty]

Sure, but your opinion should be the most important if it's your business, shouldn't it?

[battledancing]

If it weren't, I probably wouldn't have kept my hair this long.

[always_on_duty]

So we agree then?
