[003 | VIDEO] morning of the 18th
[It's early, and Engineer has his communication bracelet's video screen leaned up against his bathroom mirror.
Engie himself looks... different. Aside from being in an undershirt with an expression that says "just woke up," he's also sporting stark white whiskers, not unlike barbels, sticking out from under his beard. Two strands flow out neatly on either side of his cheeks, almost matching the direction of his growth.
Along with that, there's new scales on his bare shoulders in patches of black, white, orange, and a little bit of blue. He holds up a beard trimmer, and you can barely see flowing, sheer-like white fins under his arms.
Basically, he's a koi now.]
Anybody got tips on how to shave 'round fish whiskers?
[If you haven't heard Engineer speak before, that's a pretty thick Texan accent.
He chuckles sleepily and rubs one eye with his other hand. He's really tired. Don't ask why.]
Hell, how do y'all do regular, everyday things 'round the animal bits? Honest-to-god question. Might as well make this Lunatia's talkin' point for the morning.

[ That's---a curious looking purple fellow. But he might have some helpful advice, check out those spiralling horns. ]
You may just want to wait them out.
As for every day things and animal bits, I'm rather attached to mine full time, so you learn to manage. Eventually.
You may want to ask someone for a straight razor job though; I imagine they'd be much more careful than---whatever that is.
no subject
Huh. I'm guessin' hair cuts are sorta different for you, then?
[He gestures to the horns with a finger, as much as he can on video.]
I got a straight razor, but I ain't trying to shave the whole thing off. Just trim. These things are new to me too... pretty darn handy, though.
[He gives the trimmer a little shake.]

Ah. Maybe keep to a good pair of snips then? A little finnicky, but I'm sure you can manage. It looks stellar on it's own so far.
Is that what that thing does, trim?
I've never needed one, so.
no subject
Trimmers, yeah. Back at my old job I'd keep my whole head shaved down one-hundred-percent. But electric razors were a pain in the hide to keep 'round the kinda places we'd move to. Got used to stickin' to scissors and a straight razor.
