Video; Horseshoe 16, a few hours before new arrivals

[mtsilver_conquor]

That's the second time I've been called to the conductor right before a mission!

[Despite the rather impressively disgruntled face Eva's got going, she just sounds resigned, if not a bit choked with emotion.] If someone could fill me in, I'd appreciate it.

That's not all. I saw the roster and- we've got several team Leads in gold and- in the worst case-

[She doesn't want to bring it up.]

Maybe I'm wrong. I hope I'm wrong and can bail on these thoughts. But...

[She hates Horseshoe, thanks.]

Comments

Either works!

[mtsilver_conquor]

That'll be enough. I'm not looking for it to be perfect.

[She gave up on that within the first few months of her Journey.]

Dialogue-version it is~

[iamnotgod]

[Some minutes later...]

I presume that you are not looking for exact measurements either, merely 'shorter'?

[It'd be rude to give her a pixie cut if that's not what she's going for, but if she has a range of centimeters/inches she's going for, that WOULD be good to know.]

Yus! DW ate my notifs :(

[mtsilver_conquor]

Yeah. Shorter but still long, you know? As long as it looks neatish, I'm happy.

[iamnotgod]

I can certainly do 'neat', Eva.

[It's all in the precision!]

You will still have to hold still, of course; that would be a great help.

[Said with just a hint of teasing~]

[mtsilver_conquor]

It doesn't have to be perfect, though.

[One second while she flips all her hair behind her back.]

How long do I need to be a stone for?

[She means hold still, but, slang.]

[iamnotgod]

[Fortunately, Webmind recognizes it.]

A minute, at most.

[He can do it faster, but he honestly wants to see if she'll hold out that long.]

[mtsilver_conquor]

Oh, that's all? [There's a small laugh before she grins.] I can hold still for a while longer if I have to.

[He'll find she can hold still for that long.]

[iamnotgod]

[Webmind chuckles, and sets to work. Just a couple inches, no dramatic changes or switchbacks - apart from accounting for the natural curve of Eva's hair, he keeps matters very mundane.]

Finished.

[He declares, exactly 60 seconds later. Ta-da!]

Would you like a mirror, or is the change in 'feel' enough for you to go by?

[He's been informed of this phenomenon by Caitlin - being as she's the one between them who HAS hair, let alone hair long enough to need cutting.]

[mtsilver_conquor]

Thanks; it feels great. Enough to know you did a good job.

[She means it, too, and he'll definitely get a feeling she strongly resembles a fictional character from the pokemon franchise.]

But I won't say no to a mirror, either.

Thread wrap work here?

[iamnotgod]

[Sometimes, your trademark(TM) is your aesthetic~

Webmind understands the power of those.]

Let's go find one, then; my form isn't exactly that kind of reflective.

[And showing someone their own pictures wasn't always the best way to show them what they looked like, he's come to learn...]

Yes!

[mtsilver_conquor]

[It really is!]

Time for a treasure hunt then. Come on, let's go find one.

[Said with a laugh and a grin as they head off to find a mirror.]
