[Rin is having a bit of an... issue today.

Since about, oh, three or four months ago he's been tying his hair back, as being in a place like Chroma Village (no relation to anything in Prismatica) didn't exactly allow for much hair maintenance outside of cold water washing and maybe taking a knife to it if one was really desperate. Kaoru had managed to get her hands on some better care products, but that still didn't mean he was going to get needed trips to the barber.

As such a hair tie and a messy low ponytail was about all he could do.

Until today.

When he woke up with big, fluffy, Maine Coon-like cat ears atop his head, making it much more difficult to even get a brush through his shaggy mess, let alone pull it back in a ponytail without causing himself pain.

As such when the video turns on he's got a mass of hair hanging in his face, covering his eyes, and very twitchy cat ears showing his annoyance.

In the background, someone is giggling.]

Can anyone tell me where to get this [an angry point at the Anime Extreme Bangs he's got going on] taken care of? Without gettin' my damn ears cut off?

But you look so cute!

Kohaku... I can't see...

[She doesn't say anything else, but there's another giggle as Rin sighs and ends the video.]

[Sun looks quite amused, but at least he isn't laughing. Instead, he's grinning. His monkey tail is swaying behind him - but otherwise he has no other features.]

There are a few places in Level 1 that are experts at cutting hair around ears. They'll even thrown in a massage.

[satanslash]

Oh man a massage sounds great...

[achem]

How expensive are they? I ain't hard up for chroma but I don't wanna pay too much.

[He doesn't even need it styled. His usual look is this but much shorter.]

[totallycalledit]

The one I visited wasn't very expensive actually... uh, let me text you the add.

[Insert a general advertisement for a barber shop with a cheap prize here.]

[satanslash]

[Oh hey, nifty.]

Sweet. Thanks, man. I'll have'ta check that out.

[totallycalledit]

No problem. Having too much hair can be a nuisance, so happy to help.

[despairing_hope]

Ah! I'm not the only one.

[He also had fluffy ears.]

Maybe a pet groomer would work?

[satanslash]

I ain't goin' to a damn pet groomer!

[And now his tail is lashing.]

[despairing_hope]

Why not? They would know how to handle ears, right?

[satanslash]

'cause I ain't a pet!

[huff]

Pretty sure fur is different from hair anyway.

[despairing_hope]

Not always, poodle's have hair and not fur.

But, perhaps a stylist will know what to do, if having ears is a common phenomenon.

[Someone else is laughing, too. Trying to hide it. Not doing a great job.]

I, uh. I may be able to be of some assistance. I have some experience with your situation.

[There's a pause.]

... But are you sure you want to? I agree, it is rather cute.

[satanslash]

[Great.]

I can still be cute and be able to see. I can't do shit like this.

[He even tries pushing the bangs up, but he has nothing to hold them with so it just falls back into his eyes.]

[purrrrfection]

[Another short laugh at his response, notably not mocking.]

Well, unless you're set on cutting them away you could always invest in hair clips. There are plenty of shops that sell them here. Or these "scrunchie" contraptions if you prefer. I find the former more useful in the kitchen, myself.

[satanslash]

[Still not amused.]

I had one, but I lost it ages ago. I've just been pullin' it back with a hair tie. I really don't wanna keep it long, though. I deal with tangles enough when it's shorter.

[purrrrfection]

[She can see that, unfortunately for Rin she still is. Fortunately, she finally calms down from laughing.]

Alright, alright. Well, if you don't mind letting a stranger do it, I can help. I know how to work around the ears well enough, since I have my own.

[ and... a moment later... the video comes on! ...is he really far away from the camera, though?

in fact, he is not. he's just shrunk down to four inches tall. (he also has butterfly wings and antennae!) ]

I apologize. I am having a rather difficult time adjusting to my own transformation this cycle... Can you hear me?

[ ...and a correspondingly miniaturized voice... ]

[callmeven]

I have a pair of scissors used for cutting fur! It wouldn't be too hard to fix...

[satanslash]

Y'sure? Kinda havin' a hard time tellin' fur from hair here...

[callmeven]

Yeah! I mean, worst case scenario your hair will just grow back, right?

[satanslash]

[Rin's ears flatten back, hands covering them with a worried pout.]

More worried about these.

[callmeven]

Mhm... well, it's probably the only solution for you unless you just plan on wearing hair clips forever.
