Alright, uh, I've got a feeling I'll regret asking this, but what's the story with that--with the thing from the other day? Does it have something to do with the hair tentacles, or--?

I mean, all this? Talk about a total screw you to Mother's Day. 'As a gift, I'll strangle everybody'? I guess I should forget about how or why [last line not

I hope he tells you he escaped the pipes with both arms attached. I'm having enough problems with this quiche without fitting a lecture into my schedule.

[projectionary]

Yeah, don't worry, he said he made it out fully armed.

...What kind of lecture would you give him?

[cal_sitter]

A variation on the one I give my brother about leaving his ammunition near hot burners. The proper handling of weapons, and so on.

[projectionary]

So you hunt monsters too? I didn't think--even after that stuff about the vampires-- or did you just mean normal weapons?

[cal_sitter]

What other reason would I have to give my baby brother a gun for his birthday when I can't trust him to clean it?

[projectionary]

How old is he?

[cal_sitter]

Twenty, going on twelve.

[projectionary]

Twenty. Okay, ignoring the going on twelve part, I guess that would explain buying him a gun for his birthday... but seriously, I'm curious now: what kind of monsters? Anything like the hair creeper?

[cal_sitter]

Primarily monsters who can't keep their heads down. Revenants, ghuls, the occasional werewolf ... An aitvaras once, which is an undertaking I do not recommend without demanding a large advance deposit from the client. Nothing that used hair as its chief weapon, however.

[projectionary]

...I definitely remember you mentioning a few of those but, uh, what's an 'aitvaras'?

[cal_sitter]

An immortal cockerel with the tail of a snake. They're more trouble to remove than it's worth.

[projectionary]

Alright, well, I'm going to sit here and hope that nothing even close to that shows up.

[cal_sitter]

I'd prefer it to hair that eats people.

[projectionary]

...The hair's eating people?

[cal_sitter]

Honestly, I don't know what it does. A cut and a style isn't in my job description.

[projectionary]

Dude. Hair doesn't have a mouth.
