Eridan exists just so this bond could be formed.

Who: Hajime and Equius
Location: First, the plaza and then...THE WORLD.
Time: Backdated to after this bond was fostered.
Style: IT'S AN ACTIONSPAM PARTAY!
Status: CLOSED TO METROSEXUALS, SORRY.


[Hajime appears right on time at the appointed time. He carries an empty bag he's prepared to fill to the brim with supplies by the time he returns home. He spent most of the afternoon collecting necessities from the local beauty markets -- just the things he'd need for their manly hair bonding time tonight. Oh, and freshing up. After their established hair connection, he felt the need to make sure his hair was properly stylized before meeting this new...acquaintance -- not friend -- in person.

He doesn't look too pleased while he wait, frowning with his arms crossed. His expression only softens somewhat at the arrival of his new acquaintance.]

Zahhak.

as long as they're B100 blood brothers representing!

[stayb100ponyboy]

Tounomine.

[Sure, sure, of course they're not friends. They haven't known each other nearly long enough to be friends, don't be foolish. At least the human is scowling and looking suitably bored and irritated to have been kept waiting, just like a proper highblood.]

[And Equius may or may not have carefully combed and styled (as much as it can be styled) his own hair, too. It's hanging sleek and shiny around his shoulders.]

the B100est!!

[beautifies]

[Hajime nods at the troll before briskly walking toward a small boulevard of salons nearby.]

This way. I happened upon a handful of hair shops in this area not too long ago.

[stayb100ponyboy]

[Equius trails gamely after him.]

Oh, yes. I'm familiar with the shops in this area.

[beautifies]

[Equius, stop being a perfect hair buddy. Hajime might have an excited leap in his step now -- not that he would let it show, of course!!]

You are? Do you frequent these parts?

[stayb100ponyboy]

You could say that.

[Does making a biweekly trip for new hair stuff count as frequenting?]

[beautifies]

[Yes.]

Which store is your preference?

[stayb100ponyboy]

This one.

[Equius steps past Hajime and heads towards one of the shops. It's tucked back in an alley, off the main drag, but it is his favorite.]

[beautifies]

Then shall we begin here?

[He pushes inside without waiting for a response though. This better not be a pet salon, Equius. Tail and mane is unaccepted.]

[stayb100ponyboy]

[It's not a pet salon, gosh! It's a legitimate hair place... it just happens to be the only one that carries Mane and Tail.]

[Once inside, Equius drifts away from Hajime after exchanging a solemn wave with the shop's owner, who recognizes him, and begins choosing his products.]

[beautifies]

[He doesn't fail to catch those looks of recognition between his new acquaintance and the owner.]

You're a regular?

[Hajime does a once through in the shop before following the troll. He wants to see what Equius goes for...]

[stayb100ponyboy]

I told you, I like this one best.

[Equius has already gathered most of what he needs, which consists mainly of deep conditioners and anti-frizz serums.]

[beautifies]

Do these work well?

[He eyes the products skeptically. These are very hardy, not at all like the delicate supplies he's used to purchasing.]

[stayb100ponyboy]

They do.

[Equius notices Hajime's skepticism, and separates a lock of his hair from the rest of it and holds it out.]

My hair is very STRONG and needs correspondingly STRONG products. Here, see for yourself.

[beautifies]

[WHAT IS THIS EMPHASIS ON STRENGTH!? Hajime has never been so unsure touching a strand of hair before but...]

It's stiff without being dry, though it's not wiry either... What is this?

[stayb100ponyboy]

[Horse hair, basically.]

It's just how it's always been.
