[BOND]

Who: lucky + unfortunate bystanders
When: day 43, afternoon
Where: the dining area

[SO TRAINGOERS. You may still be having water gun fights or you may have gotten bored of it, but if you're heading into the lounge to relax (or the kitchen to refill your water gun), you'll have to get past Lucky! He's taken over the table nearest the entrance to the car, dangling fairy lights from the ceiling and sprinkling silk rose petals on the table and the floor around it. There's a hand-scrawled posterboard hanging from the table's edge:

KISSING BOOTH
FREE
for good luck!!

If you try to pass he'll call out, so good luck trying to escape. But hey, if you play along you'll get sparks...

Or, y'know, you could be doing something totally unrelated in this post.]

[UM]

...wwwhy do you want to fix my mane?

[bowtiedbones]

I like doing hair.

[gestures weakly to her own]

And yours looks like it could be amazing with a comb-through and some conditioner.

[daydreamshimmer]

[ U M ]

.... [Oh, is this a special talent thing? Might be.]

I...guess? If you insist.

[bowtiedbones]

I insist!

[daydreamshimmer]

....all right. Lead the way...?

[bowtiedbones]

Great! This way. Your hair type doesn't look too different from mine, so we can just use my products for now.

[leading her to thyme]

[daydreamshimmer]

Hair type?

[But following. Not like she can read books anyway while she's damp, so good thing to do for time.]

[bowtiedbones]

In terms of waves and volume at least!

[daydreamshimmer]

Oh.

Does that...matter for products?

[bowtiedbones]

Oh absolutely! You can't use the same thing for getting bounce as you do for trying to keep your hair straight and shiny.

[daydreamshimmer]

That sounds needlessly complicated for hair.

[bowtiedbones]

Is it needless? Different hair needs different kinds of care.

[daydreamshimmer]

Because a mane is just a mane? What's important is that it's clean.

[bowtiedbones]

If just having clean hair was all that mattered, we would all have buzzcuts.

[daydreamshimmer]

That has its own issues. Lot harder to get things that get stuck or tangled in a coat out without it hurting. At least a mane is easier to avoid pain and keeps things from hitting the shorter hairs.

[bowtiedbones]

What shorter hairs?

[daydreamshimmer]

For the coa- [Looking down at her own arm.]

Right. No protection from the elements. [SIGH]

[bowtiedbones]

Um.

Do you turn into a horse?

[daydreamshimmer]

No.

I'm a unicorn whose been changed into this.

[bowtiedbones]

Oh! Okay. Can I feel your hair to check something real quick? Just on how fine or coarse it is.

[daydreamshimmer]

I guess....?

[It's actually very nice and soft. Rarity would absolutely make sure this girl had nice product.]

[bowtiedbones]

[but does it feel like human hair or horsehair?]

[daydreamshimmer]

[Does indeed feel like human hair. If surprisingly good at keeping it's shape. It's like body of super anime hair.]

[Magical portal between dimensions has good camo spells on it.]

[bowtiedbones]

Okay, good. Your hair's in good health, so that's great, we can just do the conditioner. But it might be finer than you're used to, which can lead to frizzing, oiliness, or tangling if we don't take good care of it.

[daydreamshimmer]

What are you talking about? [Actually reaching up to touch her hair.]

[And pause.]

[Suddenly a lot of tension in her body. Taking a deep breath. Letting it out slowly.] I'll worry about if I have to, but if all goes to plan, then I won't have to worry about fine.

[Don't freak out, this is not a freak out point, she can get her body BACK, darn it.]
