[Seth is sitting on his couch as the feed flickers to life. He looks pale though it's hard to tell if it's the normal pale or a new pale. His shirt is lost somewhere among the mess on the floor while a silver chain and pendant hang from his throat. Dull golden eyes focus on the screen as he addresses the masses after some time hermitting and thinkin.]

For those who knew her, Futaba has left the city.

[He's used to loss, it comes with living for over a millennium but it still stings.]

Anyway. I've been out of work for too long and I was thinking about opening a spa or hair salon. Not sure if that's something that people would be interested in but I figured I could use other talents of mine and we all need a place to relax.

I'll welcome any opinions or ideas.

I'm not sure what I'd call it.

I’m sorry, Seth. She was really nice...

I’ll ask the spirits to bring her some good luck, back to her home.

[unbridledtiger]

Thank's Shi.

[He's too good for this world.]

I'm sure she's fine. Wherever she is.

[stillsmiling]

Yeah... Are you okay, though? It must be so lonely without her, huh...? It’s probably okay if you wanna be sad... I got sad when my sisters went away too.

[They died, Shi, it was different.]

[devilishkaoru]

I'm sorry to hear that.

[He has yet to really experience such a loss himself at the moment. So he really wasn't sure if he was going the right way about it.]

But I guess to try and be of help, I can't see that idea as a bad thing. Reminds me I need to do something with my mess of the thing I call my hair.

[unbridledtiger]

It does look like it needs a trim.

[Seth smirks.]

Maybe a new color?

[He doesn't want to focus on the people who have left. In his experience, that only makes things worse.]

video;

[devilishkaoru]

Trim yes. Colour, that's my brother's thing, not mine.

Unless it's for a reason and temporary. [he quite like his hair colour but had been known for changing it for a short period. Been a while now he thought about it since he did that.]

[la_matrona]

I am sorry for your loss. [and she is. A loss is always painful. She doesn't bring up the faint surge of irritation that people have the audacity to just leave because it's probably nothing they could help]

Why not combine the two? You could name it after your friend perhaps.

[Video]

[unbridledtiger]

[He shakes his head.]

A new name might be better.

[Seth cant afford to live in the past.]

I could combine the two but I'd need to find people to help run everything.

[Video]

[la_matrona]

Would you have anything for a shiftless idiota looking for a purpose?

[she is not sure what it would all entail]

As for a name...[she's not particularly good with words either] Perhaps your family name? Or... your favorite place or animal?

[Kirika knows well about losses, comes with being a killer. But when it's a friend involve well, it's a little more different.

Kirika's hair gotten longer since her stay. Her eyes grew softer, more concern, will he be okay she wondered.]

Seth.

[A beat. She's not that good with that kind of thing.]

Um... 'Laisser aller' Spa?


[Let it go in French.]

video.

[unbridledtiger]

[Seth is perfectly fine ignoring the way he feels and never talking about it ever. He's a master at not facing his feelings or drowning them in drinks and questionable company.]

Let go Spa?

Not bad. Though it does sound like laser doesn't it?

I was thinking of picking out some very pretty words and just shoving them together.

[Which isn't really elegant.]

video.

[carrythesin]

[They could ignore it together.

Pretty words together. Kirika smiles a little to that, cause it doesn't go that way. Then again, she wasn't good with names so....]

What kind of pretty words you had in mind?

[They can do this!]

text.

[unbridledtiger]

Yeah, I can dye hair. It might be a week or so before I get this place up and running though. If you want I can come over and dye your hair. I'd just have to know what color you're interested in.

[allforthem]

Hey, if there are people stressed, there's always a need for a spa or a hair salon. So relaxing...

You good at doing hair? Or massages?

[video]

[unbridledtiger]

I can do both. I'm honestly better at massages but I'm not bad at hair.

[He'd learned to do hair in the 17th century which is a little different from hair styles now. Seth figures he can learn as he goes.]

[phanther]

So she really is gone...

[Ann had figured - hoped, perhaps - that they'd both just been really busy. Apparently not, and Ann's not sure how to feel about it.

Still.]

Well, thank you. I'm sure a lot of her better memories here are because of you.

video

[unbridledtiger]

[Seth is honestly trying not to think about it. He knew that this day was going to happen sooner or later, but he'd wished it hadn't come so soon.]

Yeah.

[He isn't skilled at talking about his feelings.]

I'm sure she's happy at home.

[Video]

[riddlemehiss]

[Oh! It's his fellow talking cat is who is also sometimes not a cat!]

Names are very important! Would the hair salon welcome fur too?

[Sorry Seth...empathy and comfort aren't really key Cheshire Cat traits.]

[Video]

[unbridledtiger]

For you my feline friend, of course.

[Seth is perfectly happy not talking about Futaba. He handles loss by avoiding it.]

[Private Video]

[phoenixstrut]

[....She only watches for a moment or two before the concern settles in. She's not sure why, but something about him seems... off. She doesn't know this person he's talking about but...then again, it could just be to the lack of work.

Won't hurt to check.]

Hey, you okay?

[Private Video]

[unbridledtiger]

I'm used to this kind of thing Dove.

I'll be fine.

[It comes with being as old as he is. People come and go, he'd hoped that it'd be less here but he can take some comfort in knowing that she likely isn't dead.]

video.

[wantsnudes]

Futaba is gone...? I see. Thank you for telling us.

[And then, bluntly:] If I may ask, who are you to Futaba, precisely?

video.

[unbridledtiger]

We were dating.

[Seth doesn't believe in beating around the bush.]
