I have no intention of falling behind on my studies simply because I'm in another world. I have a particular interest in chemistry, so we'll be starting with that. Those interested in a group should reply so we can discuss a time.

[ He really does mean chemistry, this isn't some kind of ass-backward call for moonlacing, please study science with him. ]

I also need a haircut. Are there any recommended, licensed stylists available?

[ Someone talk him out of the haircut he has zero taste it will go badly. He pushes up his glasses as if he's confident this is the clear path.

Also, in the background of the video there is a ominous looking chair. He does not feel the need to address it. ]

You're in another world, far away from home, and you want to study?

[Not. Commenting on the chair. It's likely a lucky item anyway.]

I always knew you were a nerd but this is next level.

[accurately]

Not wanting to let my brain rot is not a sign of being a nerd.

[ yes it is midorima ]

[mevsme]

Uh, yes it does.

Studying? Here? Why bother...

[WHY are you LIKE THIS]

video;

[accurately]

The same reason you should bother back home.

[ For your own betterment and improvement?? Why are YOU like THIS Murasakibara?? ]

[aswium]

I didn't bother back home either.

[He tosses a chip into the air and catches it in his mouth, looking stupidly pleased with himself for it.]

I did fine. You'll probably do fine too.

[glorifies]

A lot of us got a haircut before the Jabberwocks match...

[ He can't really tell Midorima it's a bad haircut because he has no fashion sense himself, but... ]

What sort of haircut are you getting? Your bangs were shorter the last time we met, in Japan, anyway.

[accurately]

I was thinking about it before I arrived here, but my hair is getting somewhat long and unkempt now.

[ Okay, it's like, maybe half an inch longer it's not actually that bad. ]

I was thinking a little shorter, and perhaps changing the part for a more serious look. [ Like a combover.. basically his Last Game haircut, he's not a man of varied taste. ]

[glorifies]

It's good that you're considering a haircut. It's necessary to have it trimmed every so often. You have to take care of your hair, too.

[ WHY IS THIS ABOUT HAIRCARE NOW ALFJALFJS ]

You're always so serious, though. Are you telling me this is the laid-back Midorima Shintarou look?

[overcloaked]

I guess you will still have to worry about entrance exams and all that eventually whenever you get back, huh. I suppose it'd be bad to fall too far behind when you've got wading into that particular hell ahead of you.

[ Who has two thumbs and successfully ran that particular gauntlet already? This guy, which means he now has societal approval to slack off. ]

...Are you gonna take that thing along with you to a stylist, though?

[ Yeah, he's just gonna bring it up because it's kind of hard to ignore. ]

Re: video;

As an upperclassman, you're invited to act as a tutor.

[ Come Mayuzumi. Teach them. Imbue your knowledge onto them. You shouldn't have spoken up because you're being dragged into this now as a useful tool. ]

It's my lucky item today, of course I will.

[overcloaked]

[ ...Mayuzumi's suddenly regretting checking the network today. ]

Physics is my best subject, not chemistry.

[ Not that he's saying he's bad at chemistry because he isn't, but if Midorima gets that impression and decides to try roping someone else into this instead he isn't gonna correct that. ]

[perfectmirage]

I was worried about falling behind too. We don't know when we'll be sent back home and we should be ready when we get back. What time did you have in mind?

[On the topic of the haircut...]

Have you looked at any other styles? Whenever I go in for a trim back home, the stylist would offer me a book of styles to choose from if there was something new I wanted to try.

[It's been awhile since he got a cut, but he remembered how it went. He noticed the chair, though he'll keep quiet about it even if he's very curious.]

video

[accurately]

It depends on who's interested. Most weekends I have a flexible schedule.

[ he wants to study on like a Saturday or something, waste everyones weekend. ]

There was one I had picked out back home that I'm fond of, but it was sidelined given my barber is on another planet.

[perfectmirage]

I can make time for this on the weekends, since we don't have any games right now. [He would make time to practice once he found the gym.]

What subjects did you want to focus on? How long would you want to hold the sessions?

[He could probably lure Atsushi to join him with a snack, but he had to learn what kind of snacks they had here, though a quick raid through their apartment would be a good start.]

Hmm, that's true I should look for one for when I need a trim. I'm going to explore this place soon. I'm gonna look for the gym, barbershop and a grocery store. [He got to get some actual food in their apartment soon.]

[finethanks]

[Ah, but he likes Midorima's hair how it is... He doesn't care about chemistry and he'll shelf the topic of that chair for now, but first he's on a mission. Think, Eichi, think... what would make Midorima want to change his mind about this the most?]

Ehh? Midorima-kun, you're finally going to do something about that messy hair of yours? I have a number of connections, so I could find you someone to give you a handsome haircut, you know?

video

[accurately]

[ Eichi, your friend is a nerd, sorry. His favorite topics are chemistry and biology. He reads quantum physics books recreationally. ]

My hair isn't messy, it's just too long. I already know which cut I want.

[ He doesn't know the name of it but he can describe it, or perhaps sketch it out. ]

video

[wearingguess]

Who is "we"?

video

[accurately]

Those interested in a group, as I said.

[ He doesn't think that was particularly unclear, but perhaps he's wrong. He's not used to addressing large groups of people. ]

[slyguy]

Is no one going to ask about the enguin-pay in the room?

[OK, one person asked, but that doesn't sound as good.]

[accurately]

It's today's lucky item for Cancers.

[ He's used to people asking about his life choices ]

action, i do what i want

[fineprinted]

I think your hair's perfectly fine as is. Unless it's for good luck too?

[ hi roomie, don't mind him just leaning on the doorjamb whenever he's done filming his thing for the network. ]

A-Also, where did you find that chair... It's cute, but I can't help but feel intimidated.

mugi can always get some action

[accurately]

[ He looks over at him, glancing briefly in whatever nearby reflective surface there is, then back at Tsumugi, king of 'this hair is fine.' ]

No. I want to change it to a more serious look. I'm an adult now, I shouldn't have the same hair as I did in middle school.

[ The reality is, sometimes Midorima just.. does what he feels like. And he's been feeling for some time that it would help if he showed that he was growing up and getting more serious. ]

The elder women who work the Sunday swap meet found it for me. [ Midorima is very good at charming old shopkeeps and finding and utilizing swap meets, vintage stores, and pawn shops. ]

[dvine]

Ehhhh? Studying...

[Midorima has a point but Kise seriously doesn't feel like studying. He doesn't like doing things he's not good at!]

I don't know if you need a haircut though. I kinda like it the way it is. You just need to get rid of split ends and comb it nicely~

voice;

[accurately]

Only those interested are invited. We don't need people who are going to goof around.

[ Kise will be a distraction!! ]

You and I have essentially the same haircut with our bangs brushed different directions. I refuse to comb my hair differently.
