Basic skin care is not that difficult.

I know you're a bloke and all, Doctor, but really, your pores are in a state.

*gets the rubber gloves*

Right. We're going to need to do some exfoliation first, I think. Rose, can you get me some flannels, some bicarbonate of soda, a rotary toothbrush, and a bowl of ice cubes?

*scowls* This is going to be more work than I thought.

I don't think this is entirely fair, you know.

[jacqueline_t]

Stop squirming, you. If you'd do more than run the soap bar over your face once a day, we wouldn't be here.

[alienish_being]

Well maybe you need to do that, but I certainly don't!

[jacqueline_t]

Do you want to see what's coming out of your pores? DO YOU?

[alienish_being]

Jackie, I guarantee you I have seen far worse than what it's possible for my skin to produce.

In fact, I've eaten worse.

You're not making it easy to want to kiss you again, you know. ;)

[alienish_being]

*Snorts* I don't know why you're acting like you've never done anything so bad. Remember Floripon? Gelfragore? Mfflntn?

[rose_m_t]

The worst part of that? I get cravings for Mfflntn sometimes! I don't know what's wrong with me.

Just for the record, Rose, your mother may be about to murder me, but at this point I think it's preferable to having my eyebrows done.

[rose_m_t]

*whispers* I'm just happy she's here and everything's normal again.

[alienish_being]

All right, I'm behaving again. But I want cake this weekend!

[rose_m_t]

All the cake you want!

[alienish_being]

I think I'm going to need it!

[jacqueline_t]

Lovely. Hold still, we're not done yet.

Honestly. Have you even heard of moisturiser? One year old and you've already got crow's feet.

[alienish_being]

Nine hundred years old, and looking younger than you.

[jacqueline_t]

Right.

Rose? Fetch me my pore extractor. The time for gentleness has passed.
