Sure! Just show me what to do.

[malignstar]

You basically just fold the foil over the hair, smooth it with the comb, repeat a few times until rectangle isn't much bigger than the bit of hair you're working with and then fold in the edges at the side a little. It's easy.

[ Demonstrates, although he struggles a bit with the final step since gloves are slipper ]y

[we_meet_again]

Oh boy... I'll do my best.

[looking to see if there are any spare gloves in the kit]

[malignstar]

[ Probably not. You might have to be careful. At least the bleaching is already done. ]

You'll be fine.

[we_meet_again]

[ok, he'll just use his hands, then. yolo]

Just don't be mad if I screw it up.

[malignstar]

I'll just start from scratch if it goes too wild. No biggie.

[we_meet_again]

Hopefully it won't be that bad... This looks uncomfortable. Seems like a bummer to have to do it twice.

[malignstar]

It's not really uncomfortable, just time-consuming.

[we_meet_again]

Well... hopefully it will all work out the first time, anyway.

[Awkwardly fiddling with a piece of foil]

[malignstar]

Just believe in yourself and all that.

[we_meet_again]

I'll do my best!

[he's doing his best]

What inspired your new look?

[malignstar]

[ Glancing to the side, as his tone goes softer ]

It's just what I need right now.

[we_meet_again]

Something on your mind?

[malignstar]

A few things.

[ Setting up another bit of hair to dye ]

[we_meet_again]

Tell me about it?

[getting the foil ready]

[malignstar]

... I just don't feel like a very good teammate lately. I feel lost.

[we_meet_again]

Why do you feel you're not a good teammate?

[malignstar]

Because what I need and what you guys need aren't the same. So I'm bad at understanding it and worse at offering it.

[ Quickly painting the new portion more harshly than his previous work ]

[we_meet_again]

Oh... do you mean like in the games?

I mean like... All our priorities are a little different... Isn't teamwork more about finding compromises and supporting each other instead of everybody having the same goal?

[malignstar]

Not just games.

You're all on the same wavelength, even if your priorities are different.

[we_meet_again]

How do you figure?

[once Sunshine's done with the dye on that piece of hair, Cobalt starts folding it up in the foil. Or, attempting to, anyway.]

[malignstar]

Just how you see situations. My perception's all screwed up.

[we_meet_again]

Why do you think your perception's screwed up?

[oh no he's doing a terrible job with this foil]

[malignstar]

... it needs to be a little more even or it's harder to fold.

[we_meet_again]

[;;;;;

Tries again.

It's better this time.]
