[Video] Hair Spray, 80s Tentacle Version

Hey everyone! Konoka here. I've got a couple of questions I want to ask to everyone.

[ Konoka's cheery visage is the center of the screen as usual, but for those with keen eyes, they might notice that Konoka's hair seems... slightly more animated. Alive, even. ]

Well first off, is anyone around enrolled in school? I'm doing some magical research, and I realize that while I have a majority of the magical strength I had at home, I still don't really understand how a lot of this technology works. These phones are about the closest thing, and even those have quite a few features that I don't have around my time. I figure enrolling in the Academy might help me understand stuff better. What's their curriculum like?

And I'm still an understudy, but for those of you who do magic, what's it like to use? Does it work like it does at home? [ Konoka considers her words carefully, because she knows that Eva would sass her for talking too much about the intricacies of their own magic. ] Back where I'm from, anyone can use magic, but you had certain affinities that made certain elements easier for you to use. Water, Wind, Earth, Fire, Light... and Darkness, said to be origin magic.

I ask since I'm curious as to how magic's been affected by Chroma.

[ Eventually, with almost no movement from her hand, Konoka's hair almost slithers over her shoulders, and she begins to idly play with it. The source of this is one Dusklight Bracelet gleaming on one wrist. ]

Oh, on a more interesting note, my hair's turned into tentacles. It's surprisingly easier to take care of since it's tougher and doesn't tangle as much! Do you guys have any hair styles I should try?

[[Locked to her CR]]

On a more personal note, I'm thinking about getting the materials to make a pactio with someone. With a pactio, I could lend you guys a bit of my magic and an artifact that will help you protect one another... and me, probably. But I need to be sure that I can do one first. Are you interested?

If he's around, I gotta meet him one day. He sounds pretty entertaining.

[ Konoka hadn't talked to too many boys who were into books. The next subject, however, Konoka actually had to pause and think around. ]

Uhhhhh... I'm partial to pop music I guess. I haven't sat down and listened to a ton of different music.

[ Konoka looked thoughtful and just a bit worried. ]

Some of my former classmates had some pretty good rock band covers though!

[[Mentioning Karkat, even if she isn't by name, seems to perk him up and the energy that he's been otherwise missing is revived in the thought of someone saying a positive about Karkat.]]

Yeah he's here. Karkat's a good guy, loyal as fuck friend and fun. Funny.

[[He takes a moment and a little longer smirk pulls at his lips, fondly at least.]]

And always angry sounding. And always sarcastic sounding. But when you actually need someone who gives a fuck about you, he's the first one there. No homo but he's a fuckin' amazing guy.

[[Don't let him tell you about ~~Homestuck~~ Karkat. They'll be there forever. He doesn't mind about the pause, music is important and it conveys a lot about a person. Not that Dave actually judges something like that aside the joke of saying he does.]]

Pop's good. It's an easy remix if you want somethin' harder or to play around with tone. They got a lot of good pop songs. Whoever 'they' are, anymore. But rock, huh? You like any of that, too? I can't see you being a metalhead. Or maybe I can, I don't know what your hair looks like when it's not slithering but I'm sure I could get the grove of seein' you whip it around to some GWAR.

[[He's doing a bit of light teasing, but if Dave isn't at least rambling at someone he sure doesn't like them.]]

Definitely not a metalhead.

[ She was at least aware enough of different genres to know that she wasn't into "harder" forms of rock. The show her classmates put on was obviously much softer.

But Dave passed a rather silly idea of her whipping her head around, and she giggled for that. ]

Sounds dangerous, especially with tentacle hair. I'm afraid I'm not into self-flagellation... Did I say that right?

[[He tilts his head as though he's considering something, but paired with the words it's in the same playful vein as the rest of what he's been saying has been.]]

Yeeeah. Now, see, that's just what someone who's a metalhead and doesn't wanna admit it would say. Hm. Unconvinced. You do have a point there, with the not wanting to tenta-nine tails yourself.

[[As for if she said it right or not. She gets a little nod and an under the breath response.]]
You did. That's the one.

Hah! I'm just making sure I don't make a mistake! I read a lot, you know!

[ Konoka took his teasing good-naturedly. After all, she was kind of a tease herself, so she knew how that game worked. ]

If I were to ever take anything like that, I'd rather go find someone kinky that I trust. [ Like Marie. ]

It's cool. I watched Reading Rainbow, I know the power of a good book. I can't say I've got one that's gone and taught me those words. That was the internet's job.

[[It is. Cool, but also he's not sure how to not be unironic about something in a conversations like this where they're not making fun of it. It's an attempt at least. He keeps forgetting for some people it's an actual way of life here. One that he better either get used to or enjoy being crystallized which sometimes doesn't seem half bad in comparison to trying to let people too close.

He shrugs his shoulder.]]

I'll say. I think for any of that shit you got to at least trust the person part way. That's gotta be vulnerable as fuck. You gotta sit down or whatever, stand, and let someone be in the same room as you.
God damn, yeah.

I didn't surf the internet much where I came from.

[ It was a time before Instagram and Twitter had yet to be a large force. ]

Admittedly, much of what I've learned from being kinky was learned through a combination of doujins my friend wrote and my research here. I wonder what kind of place the internet became in my future...

[ Because the internet being a kinky place sounded kinda scary, and yet not the least bit surprising, given this place. ]

[[There's another curious tilt of his head, not for the lack of internet surfing. A lot of people didn't do that back home, too. It's just people like him who were mostly shut ins.]]

Okay, you got me curious, I'll bite. What's a doujins? As for the rest, if it's anything like our internet was back then... probably a bunch of neckbeards and redditors m'ladying their way into the hearts of the masses. Or maybe not. Maybe your society didn't turn into neckbeards.

Mmmm...

You can think of doujins as self made comic books! They're pretty popular to make where I come from, though they're not for everyone.

But... what's a neckbeard?

Ohhhhh shit. Yeah okay, I know what those are. They seem... okay? Just fanfiction in pictures which isn't too bad, that shit gets some people somewhere and hey, it helped out eventually for you right?

[[He's almost convinced his Bro may have had a few of them around, and he's going to hold onto that tidbit.

A long, long moment and he takes a breath as he thinks, letting it out.]]

They're like basement dwelling man babies that try to get into the lives and pants of chicks that they think owe them shit. They know everything and they're smarter than you because they said so. Normally wearing a fedora and growing a beard down their neck. Neckbeard.

Yikes.

[ Konoka makes a face at that. Apparently, she was still very naive about the ways of the internet. ]

Chisame mentioned having fans like that once, but I had no idea there was a name for them. I haven't seen anyone like this in Lunatia so far, but I'll make sure to steer clear.

[[He's an internet guru and also a professional artist, just ask him. Don't ask him, he's none of those things, a successful blog owner is about it.]]

Yeah. That's the appropriate response. I mean maybe there's some fashionable beard guys but.

[[He shrugs his shoulders and adjusts his glasses.]]

It seems like a stereotype in the trend easy enough to at least side eye.
Who's Chisame?

Chisame-han is a former classmate of mine back at home. She was a net idol at one time! Always got flustered whenever people pointed this out.

[ Negi had ultimately chosen her, or that's what people were saying. Konoka long ignored that race once Setsuna came back to her. ]

Ah, what's your moon blessing? [ Did she ask this earlier and forget? That tends to happen sometimes... ]

Man. Just casually knowing a literal idol. Imagine the timeline where that's a thing. Seems like a down to earth person though, like not a stuck up person if they get all flustered about it. Some people aren't. There's a few industries I could point to but I won't.

[[Dave doesn't mind if she asks twenty times.]]

Cordis, I'm not lookin' forward to the possibilities either. I don't want to be part animal and I've never been into furries so I can't imagine I'm going to be thrilled when it happens.

[ Chisame? Down to earth? Ha. Hahaha. Hahahahaha.

Somehow, that was both wildly off and too accurate at the same time. But Konoka struggled to put that into words, so she decided to say this: ]

Chisame leads an interesting life, I'll put it that way.

Anyway, there are a ton of things to help keep yourself under control when the moon strikes. I know a couple of Cordis folks and they usually try cooking to keep themselves even. I think.

[ Well she knows of one, and heard of others, but she's not sure how accurate that is. ]

I'm an Iris. I get deer accessories, mostly. The exception was this tentacle hair before now. [ She's not sure if she wants to mention how literally horny she gets. ]

[[They had him at the idea of food and Dave is all sorts of interested in actually eating. This place has provided for him like that.]]

Shit, I'm down for any plan that gets me fed. I can't promise the firemen are going to like my learning but whatever bro if it works to keep me from doing somethin' stupid, I'm there.

[[Because he doesn't do stupid things otherwise, or say stupid things otherwise.]]

Accessories? [[Complete with the airquotes it sounds like.]] Deer aren't so bad I guess. Tentacle deer sounds like something from twilight zone.

You know I thought the same thing, and then it happened.

[ She poked her hair, with it poking her finger for equal measure. ]

If you distrust you cooking, cook close to an extinguisher. The firemen will probably thank you.

[[Dave makes an important distinction to him.]]

Yeah but yours looks good. I'll be staying inside and not going nowhere until it goes away. I don't care what fresh hell is going on outside y'all are on your own.

I'll just buy a lot of doritos.

[ Konoka just let herself giggle. ]

Maybe I can cook for you sometimes? I've baked cookies for a couple of visitors and I cook often, can't hurt to cook a little heavier, huh?

[[Heard the possibility of food. Food is good. He even looks visually interested in this cooking. Eyebrows and straightened posture and all.]]

Dude.

[[Okay words. Please.]]

Hell yeah that'd be sick a.f.
I'll like wash dishes or chop or something. I bet I'd be baller at chopping.

[ How is this guy so amusing? Konoka resists the urge to keep laughing, especially since something tells her that he's earnest despite his seemingly jokey nature. ]

I'd have to look at your skills. But color me interested, alright?

[[He's definitely being sincere, but he's still using humour and even if she did laugh he finds it an endearing trait. She's happy, that's good. Happy people are good.

Interested is also good. That is a good thing.]]

Huh.
My skills.

[[Dave is actually looking to try to find out how to say things in a nutshell, his eyebrows together and his finger idly playing with his lip until he thinks he's got it covered.]]

I can cut through three skeletons in one swing? That's with my sword but I bet like a kitchen knife I could probably do some damage to a carrot or three at once. Or like at worst some really thick cabbage.

[[Because of course the skills she's talking about, to Dave, are his ability to use large knives translating into smaller ones.]]

[ Wait wait wait

Did he just say he could cut through three skeletons in one swing?

A magic ignorant Konoka would have kept laughing. The Konoka in the real world was intrigued instead. ]

Ohhh. So you probably are good.

We need to meet some time in the future!

[[Three skeletons, a cane and a supposedly unbreakable sword. The skeletons happened though and he's going to assume that there's a real world application to this. Chopping food.]]

I guess I would be? I've never prepped for a meal that wasn't just opening a box or a can so I'll take your expert word on it when you find out.

[[Which is to say he would love to meet up some day.]]

[ Konoka gave a good-natured laugh. ]

Well then! When you get a chance in the evenings, stop by. I'm often out during the day but I come home on evenings.
