Things are always happening.

[sweetnessandfight]

Who: Sarangerel, and anyone curious enough to follow her.
What: Artifact Tossing 101
Where: East side of Domina
When: Noon (ish)
Other: Under blurbs for I-Pin's hair braiding and Dread and Sara being sappy at each other...

Sara had been carrying the glossy green egg for a while, though (usually in a backpack). With what Rachel had said, the Au Ra didn't expect it to hatch into anything.  But today, as she'd gone shopping in Domina, she'd taken it out to look at it...

And it had wobbled.  First, just a little, but then it had shot off--oddly like the thing that had become Domina, weeks ago.  And she had to run after it, to see what happened.

The sparkling, of course, was to be expected, but when it popped up into a very LARGE cavern, her eyes boggled.  That...was definitely not what she had been expecting...

Not that she was really sure what she had been expecting.  Still. This was not it.

[ At that moment, it occurred to her that Sara was one the billboard who also asked about the soap flowers. She wondered if Sara ever found them, because I-Pin had been unsuccessful in her search. At her compliment, I-Pin waved her hand dismissively and let out a little laugh. ]

Thank you, but yours is much lovelier. I don't really take all that good care of my hair. [ Idly, she played with the end of her tresses. ] There's so many split ends. But, that's my fault for braiding my hair right after taking a bath.

[ She canted her head to the side, wondering what were the alchemical concoctions Sara mentioned. ]

Well, if it's any consolation, I don't think you need them. It seems like your hair is perfectly healthy without them!

[ A little envy pooled in her stomach. Sara had so many people from her home. Maybe it was less jealousy, and more a sort of homesickness. ]

Your sister is here as well? And she knows magic? Your world must be full of strong people!!

[sweetnessandfight]

I think, like most worlds, it is full of people. We have some good ones, some bad, some powerful, and some who just want to live day to day, you know? Irves does like being a mage though! But we don't have any magic here right now. Any of the three of us, and there was a little fellow with large ears I spoke to. He said he didn't have his, either.

[She paused, then.] I want to think it's something about this place. Dread and I are trying to figure out what, and why, but nothing really has come of it yet.

[But then, Sara laughed.] Oh, I don't know if my hair is that healthy! Back home, there was a gentleman we could frequent--the aesthetician. He'd do your hair and makeup for you, and Dread swears that I singlehandedly kept Jandelaine in business. I like messing with my hair, you see. But every two weeks or so, I'd either have it cut short, or dyed...and it was alchemical substances that'd change the color, or grow it out. I'm not certain I could replicate it here, sadly, or I'd try it. Also I've never really been good at cutting hair, though I think that might help with the split ends, if you trimmed them off.

I still think your hair is pretty! We might just have to try doing other things than braiding it, if we ever have a chance. Twelve know I'd need a hand with mine. Other than a bun or a ponytail, I'm not very good at putting it up myself.

It's tough to do the more complicated hairstyles on yourself! My friend would always do my hair back home when I asked him. I can only really do twin braids, or ox horns. But, if you'd like, I could put your hair in a fishtail braid! And, you could do whatever you'd like with my hair—I'm not very picky with hair styles, really.

[ Remembering what Sara had said about the aesthetician back in her home, she eagerly added, ]

You said that every two weeks you'd change your hair? That's amazing!! I never do anything with my hair. Maybe a trim, here or there, but that's it.

Well, Jandelaine had any number of things to help with that. He did makeup and that sort of thing, too. Not so easy to do, here, alas. [Though she had a few things, she was going to run out of lip gloss and eye shadow soon, and hopefully once she did, she didn't present as much of a resting bitchface as her friend Higeki, back home. Higeki, who possessed a curious resemblance to Sarangerel. At least, until you looked at their tails, really...]

I can do a few Ishgardian styles, though I don't think you'd enjoy the styles we did back on Dalamiq lands. My clan liked using mud in a lot of their hairstyles...
