[eroded_earth]

[Terra wanders past cambot looking a little tired. Although, the more noticable thing is the fact that his hair has now grown past his butt. He has it tied back into a braid and doesn't seem to notice the Cambot until AFTER he collapses onto his bed.]

Oh. Hey Cambot.

I would suggest staying away from the Theatrical deck. That's where this [He pulls at his braid] happened. And when I tried to get away from all my hair I wound up being forced to do chores on the Recreational Deck. Even Master Eraqus never made us do that many chores.

[He sighs.] So what's been happening with everyone else?

Comments

[wavesinherheart]

Ah, the nature deck flooded, although I wouldn't suggest spending a lot of time here.

[eroded_earth]

Flooded? Guess Big Mac won't get those crops after all.

[Wait.]

Why? What happens there?

[wavesinherheart]

Ah...

[There's a blur of motion as Aqua shoos Cambot back and up a bit, so that the view pans over the expanse of water, the fact that Aqua's wearing something a bit closer to a bikini top (although she still has her sleeves)... and the graceful tail behind her.]

This does.

[eroded_earth]

[SURPRISE!

Terra is used to form changes but still.]

Oh...wow Aqua.

But you're okay otherwise, right?

[wavesinherheart]

I'm fine. I just don't think I'll be leaving this deck anytime soon.

[eroded_earth]

No, I guess not.

[wavesinherheart]

It's nice here though, so it's not all bad.

[eroded_earth]

Enjoy yourself then.

If you need anything from one of the other decks just let me know.

[wavesinherheart]

I will, but be careful with the other decks, all right? I don't think your hair needs to get any longer.

[eroded_earth]

[Frowns slightly at the tease.]

Yeah, I know. I don't PLAN on going back to that one.

[wavesinherheart]

That's good.

[punsofiron]

At least yours is only that long. [Kind of has hers all over the place still.]

[eroded_earth]

[Wince]

Yeah, well, yours was longer than mine to begin with, right?

[punsofiron]

Not horribly longer...

[eroded_earth]

I thought it was...

[punsofiron]

Not so much longer that it should be three times as long as I'm tall, I would think.

[verygassy]

...You look cute with long hair!

[eroded_earth]

Hahahaha. [Awkward laugh.]

Thanks, I guess. It gets in the way a lot though.

[optimistickey]

Well, the theatrical deck's full of water, and... [Sora's tail splashes to demonstrate.]

Huh? You had to do chores?

[eroded_earth]

So Aqua told me. [Head tilt] You have a fish tail Sora. Are you stuck on that deck now?

[He nods.] Yes. Swept the floors, mopped the floors, dusted from ceiling to floor, washed countless dishes, chopped firewood, did laundry, took out the garbage...to name a few things.

[optimistickey]

[Sora glances behind him.] Yeah, I think so. Kinda hard to get anywhere else right now.

Sheeesh, that's a lot of stuff! Definitely don't go back there again.

[eroded_earth]

Not until this stuff is gone anyway.

I don't know how you'd do chores as a merperson anyway, Sora.

[optimistickey]

Right.

I dunno. I guess maybe Ariel had to do chores growing up...but at least it's not like you have to wash anything underwater!

[eroded_earth]

Well, the decks are separated so you don't have to worry about that.

[optimistickey]

Yeah. Unless the Satellite decides to really go weird on us.

[eroded_earth]

We'll just have to see.

...Your icon. XD

[colorbymemory]

[Namine's hair is even longer than Terra's is, and it looks like she's had less success at putting it up neatly.]

I'm okay, though I went to the theatrical deck, too.

I had to

[eroded_earth]

Oh...wow Namine.

Well, at least you didn't have to try cleaning with hair like that. Trust me, that's why my hair ended up like this because before it was getting dust and stuff in it.

[Pause.]

Do you need some help?

[colorbymemory]

I didn't even realize I was down there that long. I pulled it back this much so I could at least paint or draw, but...

[She perks up a bit at the offer.]

Would you? I've been trying, but I can't seem to get it quite right.

[eroded_earth]

Well, it's usually easier to braid someone else's hair I think.

So I can give it a try.

[colorbymemory]

It probably is.

Thanks--Maybe I'll get some ideas for how to do it myself.

[Goes to hunt for the brush. She's got plenty of hair ties already.]

[eroded_earth]

I'll tell you what I do as I do it.

[He figured that would help her.]

[colorbymemory]

Thanks, Terra.

[Has found the hairbrush. Ready whenever he is.]

>>>action

[eroded_earth]

[Terra finds her easily enough and her hair certainly is everywhere. He takes care not to step on any of it.]

You certainly were there a long time.

action

[colorbymemory]

[She appreciates the care--it's hard enough to keep this hair clean as it is.]

I had a few things to do and I guess I didn't realize how much time had passed.

Re: action

[eroded_earth]

It happens. I didn't think I was there that long but my hair was already kind of long I guess.

[He kneels down and takes the brush.]

This might take awhile.

action

[colorbymemory]

Mine was too.

That's okay.

[They've got nothing but time, here.}

action

[eroded_earth]

[True enough. Terra starts working on detangling her hair first, gently brushing it out and trying to avoid pulling too hard. He has surprisingly gentle hands, which probably comes from all the times he took care of animals and smaller creatures when he was younger.]

action

[colorbymemory]

[The care is much appreciated, since while Namine isn't a tenderhead by any means, that's a LOT of hair and tangles to deal with, even though she'd done her best to keep it neat. Since he seems content to work quietly without speaking, she lets him.]

[sailorgenerous]

[...hello, opportunity.] Where did you learn to braid?

[eroded_earth]

Necessity. When I was cleaning my hair kept getting in my face and collecting more dust than the rag I was using.

[sailorgenerous]

You taught yourself? [Wow. Not many colts can do that.] Well, that is an accomplishment!

I wonder if you wouldn't mind helping me a bit with your brand new skill.

[eroded_earth]

I've had to teach myself a lot of things in the past.

Oh? Well, I'm going to help Namine already...are there some others that need help with their hair? It's probably easier to do other people's hair anyway.

[sailorgenerous]

It's much easier, yes, and there are several people who need help.

[eroded_earth]

I guess I never realized how difficult braiding hair might be...

[After all, using rope and making knots was about the same concept.]
