Welcome Back Live

[1istheloneliest]

Who: Hardy and Anyone/Everyone
Where: Hotel Lobby
When: Day 466 I guess?

[Today in the lobby there is a decent sized area set up with low tables and beanbag chairs. A huge guy you probably haven't seen in awhile is flopped in one of them and waves. A boombox is set up mysteriously drifting between mellow jazz, classical, and sometimes lo-fi beats to study and chill to.]

Hey, so I just got back and rather than try to track people down I thought I'd do a low stakes Live so I could stay in one obvious place. So... this is both a grooming and vibe check Live, yeah.

[He gestures to the tables and moves the camera to show one as an example. It has hair accessories, ties and all the other things you might need to do your or a friend's hair all cute. There's also scalp massagers, face masks and other at-home-spa type supplies.]

I've been working on dexterity so I'm offering hair braiding and styling today. I know I don't really have hair myself, but I care about a some people who have a ton of it so I thought it'd be good to learn. You can also come and take advantage of the stuff to do it yourself, I don't mind.

[Hardy brings the camera back to focus on him.]

As for the vibe check this is also a relaxation outpost so come and see if you can't get yourself to de-stress a little. Or just come say hello and catch up. The whole point of this setup is to be low pressure. OK, uh, I think that's it.

[He gives a little wave and that's that.]

((OOC: Obviously it's a WC Live but feel free to hijack/counterlive and mingle to your hearts' content <3))

I'm not going to let you do my hair but I'll admit I am curious to see the results.

[1istheloneliest]

[snorts]

Feel free to spectate. Hopefully no one asks me to do anything too advanced.

[and after a moment]

How've you been?

[time5kip]

Oh I hope someone does ask you for something too advanced. How else am I going to relax and get entertained.

I've been well enough. Games haven't been too shitty and I haven't died, so. That's always a plus.

[1istheloneliest]

Ah, I see, so my stress will help you unwind. Shoulda known.

[but he doesn't sound genuinely mad]

That's good, but does make me wonder if I got back just in time for everything to get fucked up again.

[at_heart]

And hey, once you've finished with their new look...

[ Look, he's helping! ] [ Lupine then turns to grin at Hardy. ]

Welcome back.

[ He's got a ton of hair, so! Easy braiding? ]

Re: COUNTERLIVE: Photography

[1istheloneliest]

Oh, that's a good idea. Hadn't thought of that.

[smiles]

Thanks. So are you here just taking pictures or do you want a look yourself?

Re: COUNTERLIVE: Photography

[at_heart]

[ Grin. ]

More points for everyone that way.

And sure. [ A little shrug. ] Knock yourself out.

[ Tugging out the hairtie that has his hair in a messy bun currently. Loose, it's almost to his waist. ]

Flowers optional.

[ As they are currently falling out. He catches one. ]

Re: COUNTERLIVE: Photography

[1istheloneliest]

More points can't hurt. All right, come sit down.

[taking a hairbrush in hand]

I don't have real flowers but there are some pins and ties with crafted flowers on them.

[bluediligence]

Oooh! You're a photographer?

[ Wild City's newest is a short teen girl with hair that lives up to the unit's name, and a (slightly rumpled) pair of chocolate brown and white wings. ]

[ And also enthusiasm. Also curiosity. ]

[ She's got both of those in spades. ]

[at_heart]

[ Lupine blinks, then turns a grin on her. ]

I mean, I'm not promising I'm great at it or anything, but.

[ ...The wings are cute. Why can't all of WC be birds or reptiles. ]

I don't think we've met — I'm Lupine, on LiliS.

[carrionmywaywardsun]

[poking at the spa supplies since most of those are pretty unfamiliar to him]

Worried people might miss ya walking around?

[1istheloneliest]

[snorts at that]

I'm pretty hard to miss. This just makes things easier for everyone and honestly I'm feeling lazy after the show I had to go be part of for awhile. It was high energy stuff.

[watching him poke at spa stuff]

Anything catch your eye?

[carrionmywaywardsun]

Uh... Not really?

[shrugs, and picks up like a face mask in its little plastic packet]

What the fuck even is this shit?

[childeishly]

[ he’s a fox at the moment. just onto Hardy’s shoulder and baps his head. ] Look who it is, Hardtack. I was beginning to think I’d never see you again!

[1istheloneliest]

[congratulations you're being hugged/squished now]

Caeli! I'm home!

[ bap,
bapbapbapbap. ]

You're not allowed to leave anymore.

[auguryofinnocence]

[You had him at classical music. He just drops a couple collections of poetry in Hardy's lap and takes a seat nearby.]

Welcome back.

[1istheloneliest]

Vergil.

[he grins]

Good to see you.

[and looking over the books]

You even brought presents. Oh, I haven't read this Whitman, very nice. Thank you.

[bluediligence]

[ Choco Korone is BACK after a long couple of days narrating pigeon documentaries. She bounces into the lobby, fully intending to go straight back to the dorm to catch-up on whatever's she missed — ]

Uwa! A teammate I haven't met yet!

[ — but when she spots Hardy, she goes bouncing up to him instead ]

[1istheloneliest]

Oh great, you're back. Caeli let me know you arrived while I was gone. I'm Hardtack aka Hardy, but you'll also hear people call me Luther. I answer to all of the above.

[bluediligence]

[ oh no, she hopes he didn't mention anything embarrassing ... ]

And I'm Choco Korone! It's really nice to meet you, ah ... do you have one you like best?

[ouji4board]

Ooh, me, me! Do my hair!

[1istheloneliest]

I had a feeling you might show up. What do you want me to do with it? Give me some direction.

[ouji4board]

[ shakes his head, sending his curls bouncing ]

I dunno... Wanna try braiding? It might be too short for it though.
