Hey there, everyone. Nice to talk to you in person - my name is Cipher, welcome to my city. Sorry I took so long to show up in person. No need to get up on my account - how about we talk business?

[ Let's drive. ]

[ honestly very possibly the only kind of pity she deserves at this point!!! ]

[visiblepattern]

[Okay, no, he's gotta know.]

...How did you reach...this conclusion before a pixie cut?

[capreelcious]

I wouldn't call it a "conclusion" if it raises more questions, Axolotl.

[ FLOYD-- ]

[visiblepattern]

Oh, certainly not, but she doesn't need to be destroyed any more thoroughly than that hairstyle is managing already...

[capreelcious]

[ Yeah, he's cracking up now. ]

[howveryglib]

Well, I am certain she had all the barbers put to the sword, so that is as good an answer as any…

[specialyellthing]

They had it comin'. Eesh.

[howveryglib]

Oh, no, I presume this… unflattering accident myst be a consequence of that, because otherwise…

[visiblepattern]

I'm sincerely hoping it's an accident, but the longer I look at it, the more I find myself doubting.

[inaclearing]

It's just so......even.

[In other words....on purpose???]

[howveryglib]

How... very unfortunate.

[sastruga]

I think... even my hair looked better, just after I let Mielle cut it.

[visiblepattern]

I'm just completely unsure why - if you're going to do the bowl cut and then add an undercut to it, why...why would you not just do a pixie cut instead when you realize it's not working?

[...Oh.]

...Ma'am, please tell me you realize that that isn't working and you're trying to be ironic, because the alternative hurts my heart too much to bear.

[specialyellthing]

A little better. [sorry mielle, gotta drag you--]

[honeyedtea]

I-I did my best! I'd never cut anyone's hair before!

[ YOU BULLY HER??? ]

[sastruga]

Mm. So you have an excuse.

[unlike some people]

[specialyellthing]

It was a good first try, Goldie. An’ it paid off—- our teamworks got Sparkles lookin real pretty, don’t you think?

[honeyedtea]

Well, of course it did. It would have to be a spectacularly bad haircut to make Mafuyu look bad.
