[The feed starts with a shot of light blue material with red flower print. The person steps back enough to reveals herself to be a very tanned Kodachi Kuno, adorn in a hawaiian dress, with a violet lei about her neck and sandals on her feet. She currently has her hair down, though wears a huge hibiscus furcellatus in her hair.

Behind her is both a stool and a poorly drawn backdrop of a sandy island, and once she steps back enough to sit upon it, she picks up a ukelele, then proceeds to sing as she plays.]

o/~ Machadaynu Machadaynu, Machadaynu Daynu Daynu. Machadaynu Machadaynu Machadaynu Daynu Daynu.

[Kodachi glances to the screen.]

Oh! Aloha, I never saw you dere! Dis be your Vice-Principal speaking, dat is fo say da name is Vice Principal Kodachi Kuno! <3 [Winku!] A pleasure to meet ya.

I gotta say, dis Genessia is a lovely place ya got dere but ya know, dis kinda place is a little.. 'Rowdy', don't ya tink? But lucky for ya kiddies, I have just da rule fo keepin ya from becomin bad little boys and girls!

[Kodachi tosses the ukele aside, (followed by a pained 'roowwl!' of a nearby cat) and jazzhands until a pair of scissors appears in one, hair clippers in the other. She stands on one foot, taking some sort of strange martial arts stance.]

Startin' today, da girls get da bowl cuts, and da boys get da buzz cuts, a snip snip *hooh!* and a clip clip *hah!*, free of charge!

[Her stance returns to normal, then glances upward a moment as if trying to recollect something, when suddenly confetti rains down from the sky, several dancers sashay and twirl about the girl along with some fire jugglers and others carrying umbrella drinks.]

Oho! I complete forgot it be party time! For dose dat understand my admittadly complicated rules, come on down to da Bay! And all you confused little kiddies, doncha worry, I find ya and explain one on' one!

A hui hui!

(OOC: I apologize for butchered hawaiian pidgin. As for the song Kodachi's singing, it's this. Anyone who wants to be harassed just leave a tag with whatever location their muse is at in the subject line.)

[Spirit is meandering around town, eyes peeled. Something seems to be off the last day or so--people he was certain he'd met already were acting strangely. Differently.

So he's taken it upon himself to poke around and see if he can figure out what's going on.]

[It's true, there most certainly is something strange in the neighborhood, but who you gonna call for situations like this? Who could you call?

Spirit just so happens to walk past your average, everyday mailbox, and about fifteen steps after, may be forced to stop lest he walk into oncoming traffic.

Assuming he waits until the 'Walk' sign lights up, the mailbox lifts a bit off the ground, then steeeadily edges closer.]

[He is following the instructions regarding walking. However, just as he starts to step into the street, he catches the movement from the corner of his eye.

He spins quickly to see what it is, but comes up short. Just various street accouterments: trash can, mailbox, stop sign.

So Spirit heads on his way, whistling to himself as he does so.]

[The mailbox, of course, doesn't move, not an inch! And just as predictably, it proceeds to move again once Spirit moves along again, much to the complete bafflement of the drivers that are forced to stop at the red light.

Mind your own business, drivers, acting like you've never seen a mailbox crossing the street before!]

[This time, he's certain something was moving behind him. Yet again, as he checks, nothing seems out of place. Fire hydrant. Mailbox--

Wait a second. He had just walked by that fire hydrant and there had been no mailbox.

He approaches cautiously. As quietly as he can, he opens the mail slat to peer in.]

[Uh oh. Cover blown! The mailbox doesn't move again once Spirit decides to get close enough to investigate, and once he opens the mailslot, it abruptly pops off like a cork from a bottle, followed by a large cloud of steam and a burst of confetti!]

Aloha!

[Enter Kodachi Kuno, of course carrying cutting tools in each hand, whom greets the red-head with a wink and a tooth gleaming smile. Now, it may be obvious that Spirit is not young enough to be a schoolboy but she's having haircut withdrawls. He's chosen a bad time to run into her!]

Congratulations, you be a big winner today! How lucky, yeah?

Edited 2014-08-12 03:05 (UTC)

[His response was appropriate for having a stranger pop out of a mailbox with scissors: Spirit yelped and jumped at least half a foot into the air.]

A...aloha.

Big winner of what?

[What a jump! Kodachi's eyes follow the motion while keeping a far too amused but friendly smile. How cute!]

Now what kinda question is that? You really never heard about da hair care streamline? Well...

[There's a long, silent pause, for dramatic effect. Then suddenly Kodachi leaps from the box with little effort then plummets toward her target with her scissors extended.]

See, dis one follows a strict 'show, no tell' policy, so just stand still!

What the hell are you talking about?

[He jumps back from her, hands extended to keep her--and her scissors--away from him.]

I haven't heard of that hair care streamline and I don't think I want to if it involves you jumping at strangers with scissors!

[Kodachi lands heavily into a crouch, and the scissors spark once they hit the concrete. And that smile doesn't twitch in the slightest.]

Believe me, you be feeling so very refreshed after a fresh clippin', nothin' in da world like it! Plus da ladies will be all over you!

Whether ya heard or no, a winner [Kodachi, hardly deterred by his defensive stance, thrusts forward with an alarmingly precise strike toward the side of the man's face, the echo of metallic snipping of course following. As dangerous as it may look, she seems to have experience battling without poking someone's eye out.] be a winner! [a second swipe follows, all while keeping what must now seem like a rather sadistic rather than friendly smile.]

[Spirit can't shake the haze of panic as scissors snip dangerously close to his face. Bracing for impact, he waits--

Nothing. Nothing happens.

Until he realizes...she's cut his hair.

She's cut his hair.

Oh hell no.

Spirit's response is probably a little teensy bit melodramatic, but hey. He likes it hair a lot. So the next time she lunges for him, she'll be met with a scythe blade coming for her, the blade replacing his right arm and stopping close to her torso so as not to hurt her but mincing no words in its threat.]

Back off lady. I don't need a haircut.

Edited 2014-08-13 02:21 (UTC)

[Melodramatic? Most certainly not to Kodachi, for many it is a traumatic event that leaves many stunned for minutes, if not hours! However Kodachi didn't get a chance to finish her technique, so the scythe counter-attack does come as a bit unexpected. It's only because it stops short that she manages to clash against it between the wedges of her clippers with surprisingly precise precision even!

Her free hand touches the front of her face palm inward, and she strikes a bizzare pose that would make any Jojo fan proud.]

Sounds to me you not lookin' in da mirror in quite some time, boy! I hate to be breakin' da bad news, but you lookin' like a hippie~.

I don't want a hair cut, lady! Back off.

[Spirit frowned, taking a step back from her. The blade that replaced his arm slid away from her scissors, and he glared at her. He couldn't fight with himself in weapon form much more than this, but he could do it well enough to protect his hair.

He pointed the scythe blade at her.]

I don't want to hurt you, but you need to back off.

[With the element of surprise lost, and unable to really determine just how strong her foe is, Kodachi decides that she perhaps better settle back for the time being.]

Tsk, so you really rejecting my most gracious prize? A shame, dat.

[Kodachi slips her hands behind her back, and her smile at this point looks rather apologetic. When she reveals them again, she isn't holding her tools, looking like a gesture of surrender.]

Well if you ever change yo mind, you just let me know, right? In da meantime, I gotta know.. How you do dat ting wit your arm?

I never see a martial art like dat before ya know!

I am rejecting your "gracious prize", yes.

[He watches her warningly, eyes watching her hands as they reappeared--scissor-free. In agreement with her surrender, the blade that replaced his arm vanished with the same flash of light it appeared with.]

I'll keep that in mind.

Thing with my arm? It's not a martial art. I'm a weapon. A Death Scythe. The Death Scythe, if you're being specific.

Hmph.

[She pouts, and crosses her arms. But at least he promises to keep it in mind. Following that, Kodachi looks rather surprised.]

You.. A weapon? A livin weapon, huh? I never heard of anyting like dat before, but no wonder yo' hair's so long. Ain't no one takin' care of deir weapon!

[Suddenly she had a kerchief in hand, which she raises to her eyes.]

Dats so sad.. [Then it's tossed away. But don't you be worryin'! I'll gladly take you meself! Den together you an' I be cuttin' all da hair! We're a perfect team, know what I mean?

I can take care of myself. I like my hair like this.

[Huff.]

My meister is--

[Where is his meister, exactly? The former Lord Death is dead. Kid, the current Lord Death, isn't going to use him. And Maka would fight with him, but only sparingly.

He'd never not had a partner before. It felt far more lonesome than he had expected.

Spirit decides to not address the statement at all.]

Why are we cutting hair?

Ah ha ha h-- Eh?

[Wait, 'we'? Despite what Kodachi just said, she didn't actually think he was seriously going to consider her proposal. This suddenly turns everything around, and the girl actually needs a moment to recover from the shock.

Well then!]

Hmn, yes, dat is de question, isn't it? Why? Da great mystery of life! But, don't be overtinkin' tings or all you do is strain yo noggin', yeah? De answer be real simple.

[One can almost see the speed lines as Kodachi points at Spirit with a wink.]

It's cuz of da rules, boy, now watch as I reveal to you me true occupation: Da vice-principal of Furinkan High!
An' regulations say da boys get da buzz cuts and da girls get da bowl cuts!

Now, I do realize dat Furinkan may or may not be about, but dat's really only a minor setback.

Yeah, I got that impression since you assaulted me with scissors, you know.

[This lady is kind of freaking him out. Just a little.]

Though I wouldn't call cutting hair the great mystery of life, or anything. It's just a hair cut.

[He tilts his head slightly]

What kind of school is Furinkan High..?

Woah dere! I, for one, be insulted by your lowering of me art to such a tasteless level! Assaulted? Assaulted! How dare you insult me like dat!

[Kodachi stamps her foot, and shakes a fist at Spirit as if he had cut her off on a roadway.]

Hmph.. And den you say 'just' a haircut. Not just anyone can do it, ya know. It takes precision, it takes discipline, it takes steady nerves even! Let me tell you sometin, boy, you insult me art again and dere will be words!

[The 'hawaiian' girl glowers at the man for a moment longer, apparently waiting for an apology before she goes on about Furinkan. But yes, he has every right to be freaked out, Kodachi is hardly an example of a normal girl.]

Okay okay, sorry.

[She did assault him with scissors, but he'll let it go, since he doesn't want any more scissors coming at him.

He takes a small step away from her as she fist is waved at him.]

It's an art, yes. I think it might be best to just...offer your art.

[Yeah that's right he's sorry! Kodachi glowers for a moment longer, then crosses her arms and looks away with a 'hmph'!]

Fine, apology accepted. And.. Enh.. Eeeeenh.

[She gives a dismissive wave of her hand. Sure, she could offer. Maybe she even will! Maybe. But she clearly isn't keen on the idea.]

Anyway I let you tink 'bout me deal. Togedda you an' I could be makin' some real good art, yeah? Just tinkin' about it makes me knees shake in anticipation~.

[She rather creeped him out, but he decided he'd be best served being polite.]

Okay. I...will think about it.

[And by think about it he means find a way to have her not threaten his haircut again, potentially by running.

No shame.]

So...If I let you just trim the other side..

[He pointed first at the left side of his head, where she'd snipped off a bit of hair, and then to the right.]

So it's even. But don't cut it all off. Could you do that?

[Blink.. Blink. Well! Just when Kodachi thought she was going to ambush him with his back turned, he brings up a deal of his own! He can see her eyes light right up as she claps her hands together and raises them to her cheek.]

Really?? Yes! Yes it be a promise, a special request fo' a special potential partner! You just let yo friends know who did da deed!

[And.. Yes. Kodachi is pretty creepy. Weird. Of course she believes she's perfectly normal, even as it only takes but a flip of her wrists to produce a pair of scissors and a comb.]

One even trim comin' faster den you can say 'coconut'! <3

[He has an instant of thinking he had made a mistake, but grits his teeth. He's already asked, and he's rather committed.]

Thank you.

Just a trim.

[He closes his fingers together in front of her, displaying just a small bit of space.]

Trim.

Eh heh heh..

[That gleam in her eye, it isn't very comforting, is it?]

I know I know, just keep still!

[Assuming he doesn't up and flee as Kodachi practically leaps at him, she proceeds to perform a barber's miracle! Her arms move almost alarmingly quick, and there are many many snips and clips heard. In reality there's simply no way what she's doing could logically result in anything but a mess...

But she ends up keeping her promise. Not only goes he get a trim, but his hair is even shining! With a rather smug smile, the Haircut Demoness grins smugly as she produces a mirror.]

Well?

uhhhhh........what....?

[ THE MOST CONFUSED WHAT THE FUCK FACE EVER! ISHTAR DOES NOT GET WHAT THE HELL JUST HAPPENED. ]

Sorry.. bowl cut?

[Excuse me, someone is trying to have a celebration here! Kodachi appears in the feed now holding a drink with a little umbrella in it. She takes a sip from it, then turns to the side to spit it back out.]

Now hold on, what kind of question is dat? 'What is a bowl cut'?? You livin' under a rock, girl?

[She tosses the drink aside, then brings it back holding an example photo of the two hair styles.]

It's real simple, da bowl cut is cut widda straight fringe on de front and de rest of de hair is same length all de way around, get it?

[ Wait... is she drunk...? Ishtar can't tell but she sure as hell sounded smashed. Ishtar was reminded of how stupid she was to end up like that as well before. Still, the girl might be smarter than her and she was yelling about something bowl cut. Ishtar stared at the picture for a moment not sure what to make of it before she sort of snorted. ]

That's a really weird kind of haircut though. Why would anyone want that kind of hairstyle?

[Drunk? That is possible, but look at her, she's just so happy and everyone's having a good time! Check out the fire juggler juggling in the background! Check out the beefy tanned guy next to her shaking his groove thang!

But everything changed when Ishtar called the cut 'weird'. The sound of music comes to a record-scratch halt, Kodachi's smile completely vanishes from her face which is replaced by a completely shocked expression. The drink slips from her hand and shatters on the ground and she drops the diagram as well.

The firejuggler drops all of her sticks (followed by a very painful sounding RAAAAWR! of a cat), and the beefy man by her side raises his hands to his cheeks with such a loud gasp!]

Edited 2014-08-22 06:50 (UTC)

[ Now Ishtar just stared at the scene very highly confused and unsure of what to do at the moment. She didn't look very happy. Ishtar laughed nervously. Did she accidentally hit a nerve? She didn't know but all she could do was look at them confused. ]

Uh...did I say something wrong?

[ No seriously, that still sounds weird as hell. She wasn't going to agree to that kind of haircut but she waited. ]

[Kodachi jabs her pointer finger at the screen as she yells at the top of her lungs.]

GET YO HEAD STRAIGHT, GIRL!!!

[Huff.. Huff!]

What you mean strange?? Da bowl cut be traditional! It be simple, yet elegant and da greatest beauty comes out when streamlined!

'You say somethin wrong'?? You spit in da face of art and tradition, girl!

[ Ishtar stared at her like she was somewhat crazy or something like that. She's not sure. she tilted her head. ]

Uhh...I'm pretty sure my head is screwed in correctly.

[ She laughed briefly. ]

...Right. Well, bowl cuts are natural where I cam from....er... right, sorry?

[Kodachi stares at the screen, clearly not the slightest bit amused. There is simply uncomfortable silence that is held for about twenty seconds or so, along with judgemental staring.

However after that she raises her hand to her chin and nods.]

Mnn, all right, apology accepted. 'Natural'..

It do sound like you come from a pretty good place, I gotta say. Where you from?

[ Ishtar doesn't seem like she's too worried since the girl didn't look too threatening to her or anything. She's just yelling at her and stuff like that. ]

Yeah...right.

Uh...a place called Pheliosta. It's the world I came from. I've spent another four or so years in a place called Facility before this.

Pheliosta, eh? All right, I be sure to give dat place a visit an' make everyone dere my new bruddas and sistas! Connected by da love of de one true art, yeah!

[Kodachi v-signs, now in a much better (and even excited!) mood. Now, she doesn't know what 'Facility' is, and she doesn't really care since it clearly does not share the same love for haircuts!]

So, hey, enough wit da small talk and let's cut to da chase- how about you drop by for a lil' cut?

Yeah... if you can move around worlds... or something.

[ something like that. She's seriously sounds like she's drunk but Ishtar doesn't comment any further since she looked like the type of person that would easily get offended. ]

...Eh?? Ah... no thanks. It's not really my style.

Tch, maybe I can!

[Smart alec girl. Kodachi will pierce reality! .. Somehow.]

In fact, mebbe I will! I tink you betta come down here an' I show you how I be doin' it or you be missin' it!

U-Uh no thanks.

[ No seriously no. She's not cutting her hair so leave it alone woman! ]

I'll pass, really. I think someone else might be more interested than me.

Tsk.. Fine.

[There isn't much she can do about it; it's not like she knows where this girl is after all.]

I guess you're right, dough, so I be goin' along me way. Do me a favor and be sure to tell yo friends about me services, okie dokie?

Edited 2014-10-01 21:08 (UTC)

Y-Yeah ahah.

[ She laughed nervously. ]

Ah... okaaaay I'll let them know.

[ nervous laughter. ]

[Kodachi doesn't end the feed right away, there's something about that laugh that makes her a liiiiittle doubtful the other girl will keep her word. Her eyes narrow in a judging manner, then raises her fingers in a 'v', points to her own eyes, then points to Ishtar. In the screen, of course.

She's got her eyes on you, pal.

Then she ends the feed.]
