[ alex is loitering in the park, sitting on the swings. she offers haru a little nod when she spots him... hello do you want to Sulk together. to Brood, perhaps. ]
[ he's over at the salon, not that it's safe here from any of the new rules. right now he's more distracted by the stuff in here, messing around with a tube of lipstick. ]
...Does that take uptake? [ wags lipstick in the general direction of her hair. ]
[ yeah she's just here browsing products in general. hair dye, makeup, whatever. ]
Every now and then, but not like... All the time.
The color fades eventually, plus as your hair grows, your roots start to show, so that's when you've gotta deal with it. Some people mix a little hair dye into their conditioner to make it last longer before it needs a touch up.
[ my god the way i missed this i'm sorry, returns to this hell weekend?? but yeah, he's not, like, in a great mood. but her relief is mirrored in its tiny form. as is the exhaustion, and also just—frustration, grief, all that good stuff that has time to rise again now that it's not just stress hours. ]
Yeah. [ yay.. they done it.... ] Wish I could be more like Amelia with the... justice stuff. But it's better than getting it wrong.
[ he's over at the vr room, flipping through settings and various locations. there's an island, a deeply incorrect depiction of sydney, australia, and then finally this. a lazy day in cool april weather by a pool, but it's filled with cherry blossoms too. ]
this memory is rough, not even solely because of the disturbed supernatural elements—which are surprising because alex seems "normal," but also not surprising because this place is insane—but because of the very believable, grounded reality of someone drowning to death. no wonder she didn't want to talk about him.
he recovers from the memory with a fluttery blink, quiet for a moment. ]
You were right. [ he sighs out. ] Unbelievable prick.
[ yay hot springs. i suppose she also has a swimsuit on, but probably also has a towel wrapped around her out of habit more than for modesty? confidence week... is weird. anyway she is peering around... ]
