Ninth Goal - A Little Shaggy [Video]

[headup_stickontheice]

[Hey, Terminal Tokyo. Look who it is. It's Cam! Sans cast thank you for noticing, and out...where's it look? Is that the Rainbow Bridge? Indeed, looks like he's taking a break nearby it -- not like it's lit up enough to see its fantastic lights -- on a bench.

Notably, for anyone who happened to catch his little emotional outburst the other late night, he's showing no signs of that whatsoever, just...running a hand through his hair.

His hair that's, uh. Sort of covering his ears and reaching down his neck.]

Are uh, there any people who can cut hair here? Or...a barber shop? Mine's getting really...annoying.

[For good measure, he adds a hopeless, helpless half-grin before flicking off the feed.]

Grow it out, you could probably pull off that look.

[headup_stickontheice]

No way, it itches.

[greatwork]

Tie it back and it'll keep off your neck.

...I don't want to. Ponytails are. [Girly. A hassle. Weird.] ...not me. I like having short hair.

[Why are you arguing with him.]

[A small puff of relief]

So, does your arm have a really awkward tan-line now?

[headup_stickontheice]

[Oh don't remind him.]

Yes. Why do you think I'm out getting it fresh air?

[scratchitti]

[he laughs]

Anyways, I hear ya on the hair. I look like a scene kid.

[He ruffles his hair, and even though it's obviously gel'd it's kinda floppy from it's own weight.]

[headup_stickontheice]

I wasn't gonna say anything, but... [He laughs.] How 'bout if I find someone, I get us a two-for-one deal?

[video]

[headseraph]

That depends on the skill level. You don't want anything fancy, do you?

I can't turn you into 777 or anything, I mean.

[scratchitti]

Shiki, if you cut his hair like that emo hedgehog's I will hold him down and shave it off myself. It'd be a mercy.

[video]

[headseraph]

I cannot BELIEVE you just said that. And anyway, you don't have any room to talk, Mr. Comic Book Hair.

[video]

[headup_stickontheice]

[???] I-I just want it short, off my ears and neck and forehead.

[video]

[headseraph]

[Shiki grins.] Then, yeah. I can do that. I used to trim Mina's hair all the time in-between styles.

It occurs to me to bring up how emotionally and spiritually effecting a good haircut can be.

When a person cuts off his or her hair, it often symbolizes a rite of passage or bout of character growth. A princess striking out on an adventure, or a new recruit at boot camp, for instance. Hair is something that takes time and effort to grow, so parting with it voluntarily can be a powerful act.

...or it could be because it itches.

[headup_stickontheice]

...Mine's the second.

[There's a quiet smile on Cam's lips, though; after all, considering last week was sort of topsy-turvy, this Monday was his first session with Dr. Quinzel. And it couldn't have come at a better time.]

[revvinguptheharley]

Hey, ya gotta do what ya gotta do.

But never be afraid to try something new.

Maybe some hair dye, how would you feel being neon blue?

[heartdive]

Oh c'mon. It's not that bad.

[headup_stickontheice]

[...... Cam, be nice.]

I, uh.........don't really think you're the expert on uh.......hair.

[heartdive]

This is pretty normal where I come from.

Riku's hair is pretty long. Or, well, it was.

[Leatherhead sees no problem with it.

Then again, his hair's a tangled mess.]

I like it. Why would you cut it?

Video

[headup_stickontheice]

[Oh. It's Leatherhead, he can't be sarcastic to him. :c ]

It's kinda...longer than I usually like. I never go this long without a haircut back...home.

[Home.

No, don't...think about home.]

Video

[bigsoftie]

[Oh no, Leatherhead totally understands that.]


And keeping it long reminds you of home...

If you get an answer pass it on.

[headup_stickontheice]

There's a girl I'm going to meet now. A friend of Neku's, I...didn't catch her name.

[Tellingly, the screen is moving; he's walking while he talks.]

[innermonologues]

.... Nevermind then.
