[What a week. The face of the blonde appearing on the feed has less of his usual icy poise and looks more worn out. He's currently holed up in bed. He looks more worn out and inconvenienced, his blonde hair scuffled and bags forming under his eyes.]

Let it be said that there hasn't been a challenge I haven't been able to overcome.

That being said, I prefer not to do it again. Which is why I'm taking the next couple days off and making use of these 'bath bombs'. Did you know each one has a different set of oils, scents, and colors? I didn't.

It's one of the few good things I've learned from this experience. Another is to try to avoid the Heropa downtown area if you can't help it. Some advice to all you new people.

And for those of you I'm rooming with, I want complete quiet for the next few days. I need to rejuvenate myself.

Some of them fizz or have prizes inside, too. It's a lot more relaxing than straight up bubble baths.

[Hazel feels about as beat as Kira looks, if not more. idle chatter about bath bombs is exactly her speed right now.]

[insatiableinappetite]

[Hey idle chatter is what he's all about.]

A prize inside? Now doesn't that sound pleasant.

...as long as it isn't some manner of squeaky toy.

[deadtective]

I don't think you've got a lot to worry about unless you're shopping in the kids aisle. Buuut I go for the ones with glitter in them half the time, so maybe I'm not really one to talk.

[insatiableinappetite]

Glitter is too messy for my taste. Leaves a nasty residue on one's skin.

What can you expect, children are messy.

[deadtective]

It's not so bad if you soak for a couple hours; it kinda gives up after a while and just floats on the water. You get a nice colored bomb and it's a pretty effect.

[that's the artist in her talking if ever it was.]

[insatiableinappetite]

You speak like a true expert. Were you a salesperson or a chemist in another place?

[deadtective]

Nah, I'm never anything that might actually be useful. The best way for me to unwind is to soak in the tub for a while, that's all; I've been through a fuckton of bath bombs at this point.

[insatiableinappetite]

Neither have I, honestly. I was far too much of a low-grade student to do anything like chemistry.

But I understand what you mean: a good soak, a favorite book, scented candles...

[deadtective]

At least we figured it out in school instead of after blowing the fucking roof off someplace. Shit like that is messy.

I usually swap out the book for doing some sketches, but I guess that's a situational kind of thing. You really can't beat it either way.

[insatiableinappetite]

Oh no, never extracurricular activities like so.

Are you an artist then?

[deadtective]

I like to draw and shit, but it's more of a hobby than anything else. I want to actually keep enjoying it, you know?

[insatiableinappetite]

It's good to have hobbies. Keeps one occupied between work and sleep.

[deadtective]

It's especially good to have hobbies when your job's kinda fucking all over the place. I can only blow through so many crosswords before I want to tear my hair out.

[insatiableinappetite]

I suppose I'm the type who is always tied to their work.

[deadtective]

With me it's more like the work's pretty erratic. I'm pretty good at keeping it out of my social life, at least.

[doesntdomuch]

I know a few good shops that sell specialty bath bombs if you're interested in that.

[Frankly as weird of a choice it is, his secret shopping job did have some nice perks.]

[insatiableinappetite]

I believe I would be interested, Fletcher-san, is it?

From what I've heard they give off unique scents and color schemes.

[doesntdomuch]

Perry's fine.

And they do. Some also have things like flower pedals and glitter in them if you're interested in either of those things.

[insatiableinappetite]

Perry then.

I prefer cats. Maybe skulls.

[This is just the tip of the iceberg of the man's interests.]

[doesntdomuch]

[Uh...]

Well I don't think there are bath bombs with either of those things actually in it, but there might be bath bombs that are shaped like those things?

[insatiableinappetite]

If they just have cat-shaped ones, I think I would be content.

[superposition]

Can't say I blame you. I'm tempted to do the same myself.

[Not enough that he'll actually commit to it, probably. But he does have a gift certificate to a spa...]

Get some rest. It's been a long week.

[video]

[insatiableinappetite]

Of course. Everyone is entitled to a short break.

But if I can trouble you one thing...

Are you...aware of our new housemate?

ok video too

[superposition]

Ah. Little Komasan, you mean? Yes, he's an... interesting character.

[video]

[insatiableinappetite]

Very interesting. And with a penchant for imaginary friends.
