[Dear Jigoku, guess what you get today.

A shrill, piercing, loud enough to wake the dead in twenty different levels of Hell scream as Mika practically leaps out of her skin.
]

GET THEM OFF ME!

[The screaming will continue until the flea situation improves. Mika does not want the flea bath or the alternative.

Shaving.

Please do her a favor and put her out of her misery.

((ooc: come on, you knew you all were overdue for a Mika freakout.))

Feel free, I'd rather do just about anything to end up in a flea collar or having a date with an electric razor.

Given time to study them, it is possible that I may find a way to repel them, for the time.

For the time being, please find some strong liquid soap. [Suggesting this is... well, he doesn't feel right about it, but fleas can be a danger to people with poor immune systems, and... well... He'll just have to figure everything out quickly.] Apply it around your neck and submerge yourself in hot water.

It will not eliminate the problem, but it will help, I believe. Keep in mind not to rinse off the soap until you are ready to shower.

I'll remember that, someone just suggested I use a baking soda treatment. I'll try the liquid soap next. Thanks, Shino. I hate to bother you like this, and I'm sorry about freaking out earlier.

It is not a bother. Please do not worry yourself, Mika-san. [He likes her enough to be polite, of course.] It will take time, but I also believe that I will be able to replicate a topical cream for the bites, and also suggest that you try to eat as healthy as possible.

May I ask something of you, Mika-san? I'm sorry if it is potentially offending.

[But... she is a wolf... thing... So...]

[identity profile] notlikethemovie.livejournal.com 2010-05-10 10:55 pm (UTC)(link)
Sounds like a plan to me. [She rubs behind an ear, arching an eyebrow at her phone.]

Sure, go ahead.

[identity profile] justahost.livejournal.com 2010-05-10 11:07 pm (UTC)(link)
The topical treatment can be potentially harmful, if one has particularly sensitive skin, and may irritate the bites on occasion.

Do you have particularly sensitive skin, or allergies to any plants?

[identity profile] notlikethemovie.livejournal.com 2010-05-10 11:26 pm (UTC)(link)
I do have some plant allergies, but mostly to weeds and grasses. My skin isn't too sensitive, but it does dry out if I'm not careful. Probably because I wash my hands too much.

Please.. stop... screaming.

[He really does sound like he's trying to be comforting... sort of. Not really. Okay, your voice is just really, really shrill.]

[identity profile] notlikethemovie.livejournal.com 2010-05-11 02:01 am (UTC)(link)
You get chewed on in the middle of the night and see how you like it.

[Surprisingly enough when she's not screaming her voice is actually rather mellow. If completely laced through with sarcasm.]

[identity profile] stormhelm.livejournal.com 2010-05-11 02:27 am (UTC)(link)
.... yeah... that was pretty bad.

[He eyes her very prominent ears quite curiously. Aah. So that's why the fleas like her more.]

At least you weren't getting chewed on by ghosts, though?

[identity profile] justahost.livejournal.com 2010-05-11 02:37 am (UTC)(link)
I will keep this in mind. Your patience will be appreciated, as I am not the one who has the utmost skill in the healing arts.

[identity profile] notlikethemovie.livejournal.com 2010-05-11 02:43 am (UTC)(link)
Not this week, thank God.

[Make one crack about that, Chocoboy, and she'll find a way to get back at you for it later.]

[identity profile] notlikethemovie.livejournal.com 2010-05-11 02:44 am (UTC)(link)
That's alright, it's the effort that's appreciated.

[identity profile] stormhelm.livejournal.com 2010-05-11 02:52 am (UTC)(link)
... are those... real?

[He points half-heartedly at her ears. He's sure it's... normal... where she comes from... really can't stop staring, though.]

[identity profile] justahost.livejournal.com 2010-05-11 02:54 am (UTC)(link)
I see. Very well.

[identity profile] notlikethemovie.livejournal.com 2010-05-11 02:56 am (UTC)(link)
Oh, for--yes, they're real. If you really don't believe me you can even touch them if you want to.

Maybe I should just make a sign and wear it when the new guys show up.

[She snorts, her ears folding flat against her head. Normally she's not this grumpy about it, but today is a bad day.]

[identity profile] notlikethemovie.livejournal.com 2010-05-11 02:56 am (UTC)(link)
[She huffs softly, her tail wagging.]

[identity profile] stormhelm.livejournal.com 2010-05-11 02:59 am (UTC)(link)
No- I didn't mean-...! I mean, sorry.

[He looks embarrassed at the offer and shakes his head, holding his hands up defensively.]
I believe you. On my world... we have a lot stranger things, I guess.

[identity profile] notlikethemovie.livejournal.com 2010-05-11 03:01 am (UTC)(link)
No, it's fine Cloud. I'm sorry for snapping.

[She waves it off, looking a little upset at herself for effectively kicking the new puppy.]

I get asked about it a lot since I got here. Most people don't really believe me.

[identity profile] stormhelm.livejournal.com 2010-05-11 06:26 am (UTC)(link)
Don't worry. I get a lot of crap about my hair, if it makes you feel better.

[Pause.]

... I mean, not that... I don't think you'd feel good about- ... never mind.

[Maybe he should just shut up now. Talking to girls; never his forte.]

[identity profile] notlikethemovie.livejournal.com 2010-05-11 06:29 am (UTC)(link)
Why, because you vaguely look like a chocobo, perhaps?

[She smiles a little, shaking her head.]

Don't worry about it, kid.

[identity profile] stormhelm.livejournal.com 2010-05-11 06:31 am (UTC)(link)
[You get an almost automatic glare for that.]

I do not look like a-

... wait... but you're not from my world... [blink.] Are you?

[Oh lord, maybe she's another one of those Shin-Ra experiments.]

[identity profile] notlikethemovie.livejournal.com 2010-05-11 06:33 am (UTC)(link)
No, you're much cuter, I promise. And probably don't smell nearly as bad.

[She snorts, shaking her head.]

Maybe you should ask Zack or Angeal about it? And no, I'm not a Shin-Ra escapee, if that's what you're thinking.

[identity profile] stormhelm.livejournal.com 2010-05-11 06:41 am (UTC)(link)
.... [yeah he really doesn't know how to take that comment. Either way, even the poor quality of the feed shows the interesting shade of red his cheeks have gone]

... Uh... thanks... I think...

[He leans back in his hair and sighs gently.]

What, are you a mind-reader too? Anyway, it's probably best I leave those two alone.

[identity profile] notlikethemovie.livejournal.com 2010-05-11 06:43 am (UTC)(link)
[Her gaze is hooded for a moment as her expression turns unreadable.]

You could say that, but not quite.

[With a toss of her head, she rummages with something.]

I'd suggest you spend as much time with them as you can while you're here. Might not get the chance when you all go home.
