[Mika's in her bathroom, standing in front of the sink wearing a tank top with a pair of scissors held in her right hand with her foremost locks of hair trapped between the fingers of her left hand. She looks tired even as she begins to cut, and even as she starts to pull tufts of her undercoat out, it starts to become obvious that she's grown in a few bands of paler hair near her face. And it seems like she's not planning on stopping at just her bangs. When she's finished shearing her hair falls roughly halfway between her shoulders and her chin, and she's looking at the mess in the sink with a detached sort of dismay. After all, she's just lopped off around ten inches of hair, and she's not sure how to feel about it.]

It's been over a week and I still don't feel any older. Just more tired. Whatever...

[She looks away from the sink towards the door to the bathroom and shouts.] Hey, Deuce? Want me to make some cookies or something? I feel like baking! Or cooking or something. You got any suggestions?

Need to clean up a mess first though. Last thing I need is a drain girl infestation....

That's not how you shave.

[notlikethemovie.livejournal.com]

I'm not shaving, I'm cutting my hair. There's a difference.

[Shiki just watches and them hums, then eventually says:]

You look nice with your hair like that.

[moarcrusadesplx.livejournal.com]

Oh.

Well, you should shave. Or you'll end up with lice.

[notlikethemovie.livejournal.com]

I bathe regularly enough not to get lice, thank you.

[notlikethemovie.livejournal.com]

I'd be surprised that it's recording by itself, but after this long I'm not, really. [She sighs, fingering her new bangs.]

Thanks, Shiki.

[moarcrusadesplx.livejournal.com]

They live in the water!

Whatever. Your animal-demon energy probably kills them. Why don't you have more fur, though? Like a Werwolf?

[notlikethemovie.livejournal.com]

Because amazingly enough I'm not a werewolf?

[p3rfect-kill3r.livejournal.com]

I think eventually you get to the point where you're not surprised by anything this place has to throw at you.

Don't worry about it. You want anything give me a shout. I've noticed you've been understandably getting more morose, don't want to lose you to it.

[moarcrusadesplx.livejournal.com]

You have to be.

[notlikethemovie.livejournal.com]

Pretty much.

It's probably just the season getting to me. This is the first 'real' winter I've ever been through.

[notlikethemovie.livejournal.com]

What makes you say that?

[moarcrusadesplx.livejournal.com]

'Cause I know what they look like!

[notlikethemovie.livejournal.com]

Well, if you really think I am one, then why don't silver or crosses bother me?

[p3rfect-kill3r.livejournal.com]

Seasonal Affective Disorder. I've heard of it, we'll have to pick you up a sunlamp just so you can get your melatonin levels up.

[notlikethemovie.livejournal.com]

Nah, I'll be alright. The past few months have just been kinda harsh, I guess.

[moarcrusadesplx.livejournal.com]

Why would they bother you?

[notlikethemovie.livejournal.com]

Don't werewolves have weaknesses against silver and crosses?

[moarcrusadesplx.livejournal.com]

No?

Though, conversion can cure them. Sometimes.

[notlikethemovie.livejournal.com]

[She huffs, then starts to laugh a little.] Alright, if you say so.

[moarcrusadesplx.livejournal.com]

Wanna be converted?

[notlikethemovie.livejournal.com]

[She shrugs, still smiling.] Not sure, I might.

[moarcrusadesplx.livejournal.com]

It'll work! Come on! Mother Mary will help you out! She's awesome!

[notlikethemovie.livejournal.com]

I'll bet she is. I need to finish cleaning up here, first.

[moarcrusadesplx.livejournal.com]

Hurry up, then! Hurry, hurry!
