[The image of one Yang Xiao Long comes up on screen, but for those of her that know her, there's something obviously off about her. What, exactly? The chunk of golden-colored hair that's currently being held in her fist instead of sitting on her head, is what. What's more, Yang looks absolutely pissed.]

Excuse me... [She seethes through gritted teeth] But does anyone know who has a bug familiar with scissors for hands? I'd like to have words with them.

[She takes a deep breath, and then tries to speak more calmly.]

Also, is there anyone out there that can... [she motions to her hair situation] ...help me even this out? I'm new and not sure if there are any hairstylists in this city I can trust just yet.

[Note that there is now a fiery crater in the middle of a street somewhere.]

Comments

[redfightinghood]

I'd appreciate it, at least until we've got a good handle on what's going on here and are sure he's not going to like.

Kill people while I'm sleeping.

[She says that almost a little too casually, to be honest.]

[justwatchmeburn]

...Ruby, no offense, but you're starting to sound a bit desensitized to stuff like that.

[redfightinghood]

[Slow blink.]

Oh. Sorry, I think my head’s maybe a bit... overloaded, with everything that happened before we came here, and then. Being here.

[justwatchmeburn]

I can understand that, Ruby. If you ever need to talk about it, decompress, I'm here.

[redfightinghood]

Heh, right... I know, just. It's a lot to take in and.

[She shakes her head and sighs.]

We didn't exactly come to this place from a good position.

[That was probably her fault.]

[justwatchmeburn]

No. No we didn't. And we're a team member down here.

[No one feels the absence of Blake more than she does.]

It sucks, but... what we have to do here is just as important. So we can see everyone again, and pick up where we left off. But just like I told Blake once... we can't get over-run with doubts and pushing ourselves too far.

[redfightinghood]

[She frowns at that.]

Yeah, and I guess I'd feel better if we had more of everyone, like... accounted for. But also, if we can't, we gotta get back to them, and if this is the only way to...

One step at a time, right?

[justwatchmeburn]

One step at a time. And we'll do it all together.

[redfightinghood]

[Ruby lets out a long breath and is quiet for a second, before tilting her head.]

Uh, lemme... go get that tea. I'll be over there in a jiffy.

[justwatchmeburn]

[Yang nods.]

Alright, then. I'll see you soon.
