[An image appears on the screen, Nemuri's looking into the camera, looking slightly concerned and very disheveled. And apparently her hair is now very... not hair. It's become tentacles, colored just like her normal purple-black hair.]

Last month I woke up to wolf ears and teeth along with the ability to smell everything in a five mile radius.

Today I wake up to my hair becoming tentacles and with half a mind of their own.

Anyone willing to help me wrangle these things into a ponytail or something? They keep smacking me in the face. I'll pay in Chroma. [There's a suggestive wink as she says that.]

[Sigh]

No. It's worse than trying to catch a frightened cat. They keep squirming out of my grasp.

Then you probably need someone else to help you get 'em sorted out. [Ace grins.] I'm free, if you wanna tell me where to show up.

I wouldn't mind.

I'll message you the address, feel free to head over.

[Address incoming in text]

On my way. We'll get them behaving.

[It doesn't take very long for Ace to actually arrive. He's quick on his feet, and doesn't get too distracted. But once he arrives, it kind of hits him that it probably wasn't very polite for him to not introduce himself. So once the door is open, he waves and quickly makes up for that.] I'm Ace, Ace D. Portgas. Nice to meet you.

[Nemuri opens the door, still fighting a bit with her 'hair'. She waves him in before closing the door behind him.]

Nemuri Kayama. A pleasure. Sorry if they smack you.

[He's actually kind of amazed at how they look in person. They're charming, kind of like how some people braid their hair in thick coils and keep it that way. Only moving like they're thinking on their own. And hell, maybe they are. This place is full of weird things...]

It's fine! [He grins, watching how one of them moves.] My hair's pretty unruly, so I've got a lot of practice. What have you been trying to tie them with?

I only really have this. [She holds up a couple of simple elastics.] I didn't exactly plan for tentacles to sprout out of my head... sadly.

[She grimaces as one tries to take a swipe at Ace.]

I can't control them easily, so I apologize again.

I don't think that's something anyone coulda planned for.

[Ace gently pushes that one away, and pulls a long ribbon out of the pocket of his shorts.]

Maybe they just wanna be treated nicely. I dunno, they're acting kinda defensive right now, and those ties look like they'd be uncomfortable. [He figures he can coax them carefully into a ponytail, if nothing else.]

From what I was hearing from someone else... they might be more normal than we think.

[She grabs the troublesome one for a second as if trying to get it to take a damn chill pill.]

You know, I didn't think about that. I was mostly focused on how I look like a tentacle medusa, but without the stone powers.

So you're not the only one this is happening to?

[Ace can't imagine it. His own hair is enough of a mess to deal with, and it just hates being combed. He can't imagine hair that can literally refuse to behave.]

Is this something to do with moonblessings? [He's gathering the rest, ever so carefully. He's got a gentle touch.]

I don't think so.

[She shrugs.]

That might be it. I had wolf traits this time last month, so maybe I just ended up with something different this time around.

Yeah? This place is kind of crazy that way. What kinda wolf traits did you get?

[Ace hums a little as he gathers the tentacles of hair gently with careful hands. They're a little unruly, sure, but he thinks that he's got this.] Do you want a high or low ponytail? I've almost got this done, I think.
