Dear Network, I have two questions for you. Answering them won't take long, I promise.

[ since Spitfire lost his ability to walk in a trade he's gotta find other ways to amuse himself while he can't run. (for a month!! ack.) making stupid posts on the network will be one of them. ]

First: when did you last have a haircut? Was it ten years ago? I can tell. Some of you could really use one.

[ this is where he somewhat chuckles to himself. ]

As for the second one... if someone asks you out to do stuff, it's a date, right?

It can't be a date all the time-- that sounds like it'd be really limiting.

[merespark]

What's so limiting about dates?

[superbeast]

Limiting in that if they're all dates, when do you just have friend-time? Or what if it's your mother, or some parental figure, asking you out to do stuff? Probably not a good date.

[valentineluke]

I trim on a regularly basis.

[merespark]

Do you mind turning around so I can see better?

[merespark]

ARE YOU DATING YOUR MOM

[superbeast]

--What? No!

[errandry]

... shouldn't you know the answer to that one already?

[zipperbent]

Are these answers imperative to your well-being, Spitfire?

[merespark]

Good. Keep it that way.

[merespark]

I know you never take off your hat unless you have a good reason to.

Your sister cuts your hair at home, doesn't she?

[merespark]

Very much so. Please answer.

[zipperbent]

[dramatic sigh] Alas, you leave me no choice.

First: I think I had a trim about a month and a half ago? This 'do requires a lot of maintenance, okay.

Second: Give me some details, first, man. Don't be stingy.

[merespark]

It's almost two months ago then. You'll be in a trouble soon - unless you've found yourself a new barber.

No details, I'm afraid. The question was entirely hypothetical.

[zipperbent]

That's what friends are for. To recommend good barbers. [WINK. NUDGE.]

I guess I just want to know why you asked in the first place.

[merespark]

Oh? Actually I have someone in mind.

Except he's not good, he's excellent.

Why would I ask something like that? Well, I've been watching too much tv as of late. I guess it must have come from somewhere like that.

[errandry]

Not that, I meant the other th—!

[errandry]

That's a pretty good... deduction.

[ ... IT'S A DEDUCTION, RIGHT. ]

[merespark]

[ WHAT ELSE WOULD IT BE. ]

It's easy to tell. You don't seem like the type to waste money on barbers. Not that it's "wasting money"...

[valentineluke]

[in the mood to show off his 'crowning glory'. Flicks the video on. Pulls the full length of golden perfection over a shoulder.]

[errandry]

[ SLIGHTLY MORE STEADILY - ]

Yeah, well, I've got my hat 98% of the time anyway, it's not that big a deal.

[merespark]

[ well the colour is certainly nice. the length's good too. ]

I'm impressed.

[merespark]

What are you going to do in a few months when the hat won't be enough to cover it any longer?

[errandry]

Cut it... again? That's not a big deal either!

... are you looking for one or something?

[merespark]

Yeah, but your sister is not here.
