002 - In which Howl has a dire emergency.

[likepaleglass]

A state of most dire emergency:

I am in need of a hairdresser. Immediately.

Barring that, the nearest Avon lady and a drugstore.

[An extremely long pause. Are you serious, sir.]

Words like 'die emergency' should not be used so recklessly.

[likepaleglass]

[Hair is srs business which must be taken srsly.]

It's definitely dire and an emergency, so I thought it was fitting.

[couldbeeeepthem]

...

So those few batches upon your first call were also serious. This is a pity.

[likepaleglass]

Batches?

[couldbeeeepthem]

Oh, there I go, saying strange things. Don't mind that.

Perhaps it would only be fair to warn you that you may be alone, or at least in a small group, to find something like hair an emergency.

[likepaleglass]

It's a shame -- but yes, I'm aware.

Perhaps the world would be a better place if people spent a little more time in the bathroom, however.

[couldbeeeepthem]

I disagree, but then, what do I know. My prime focus on fashion is not to appeal. Maybe I should just keep quiet on the whole affair.

[likepaleglass]

Why not? You sound like a lovely girl.

[couldbeeeepthem]

Beauty is in the eye of the beholder. That said, I have my own reasons for keeping others at bay with my appearance. I don't know if it could be understood by just anyone.

[likepaleglass]

Try me?

[couldbeeeepthem]

It is my own punishment.

[likepaleglass]

Punishment?

[couldbeeeepthem]

[Congrats, Howl, you actually get real hesitance from her. She does not want those she considers friends to know this info.]

... Why should I tell you?

[likepaleglass]

No reason. Simple curiosity why you might want to hide your beauty from the world.

Perhaps it might help your kind if you knew.

It is the punishment I inflict upon myself, to try and keep others away from me, to keep me isolated and alone, for the crime of nearly killing another human being.
