Let's say some guy is looking for the perfect hair.

What substitute for Fabergé Organics shampoo and conditioner, and Farrah Fawcett spray is there? Because I know they existed at some point. [ Steve isn't obvious I don't know what you are talking about ]

Less related to amazing hair, what did you guys want to do after school? Like, what job did you want? What kind of future, I guess? I don't mind my job right now, but I kinda realize it's not a career.

I always knew I wanted to help people. It was just a matter of how I could do that.

My dad's a cop so I thought about following in his footsteps. But he wouldn't have been happy about that so I became a lawyer instead, starting off in a not for profit organisation which gave legal advice to people who couldn't afford it.

It's pretty noble, I think.

Kind of difficult too, right? It's not really easy to study all of those laws.

What would you want to do, if nothing was stopping you?

I don't know, never thought about it to be honest. I was kind of just go along with the flow.

Gatsby.

[Blue even helpfully provides a link!] Stuff's great! The Kirlia brand I used to use back home doesn't exist here, but this's a suitable replacement.

Honestly I don't get too picky on spray- what's Farrah Fawcett, that a brand?

I went to school cuz I didn't really know what to do... I got bored of being a Gym Leader before that.

[battysitter]

[ he will keep trying this anonymous thing.

But anyway, Steve looks through it. Maybe he could get it somewhere? Ask a hairdresser? A boy gotta keep his hair beautiful ok ]

Yeah, it existed back home, and it was pretty sweet. Left the hair look natural why keeping it in place. It existed here, too. Like, 20 years ago.

Gym leader?

[okay, so from context that's an 80s dude, probably going for a big hair look to some extent...]

so you want something volumizing for the spray, right? aqua net's fine if you're gonna tease it, but they changed the formula ages ago, nothing's been the same. so this is about as good as it gets now

don't know anything about the shampoo, though.

and honestly, the last thing i want to think about is what comes next at home.

[ his hair is beautiful ]

As long it doesn't make my hair fall off, I'll try what I have in this place. Thanks. [ cue to steve buying most hair products he finds ]

Why? That bad?

I wasn't really given much of a choice when I was a kid. I was brought to the Jedi Temple as a youngling and trained in the Jedi way until I was a teenager.

But I didn't mind - I wanted to be a Jedi. They were heroes who performed great feats and protected the innocent.

[ Jedi...? Star Wars again? Except he has no idea who the heck this person is, he wasn't in the movies... ]

So are you a Jedi now?

Education stops being mandatory after age ten in my world but I stuck with it anyway. I wanted to be a teacher. I still do, I'm just too young to do so here.

I think figuring it out is a personal process. I never realized how valuable a job teaching languages could be until I moved from one country to another back home. Maybe you need to wait for something to happen here to inspire you to figure out what you want, too?

[Text]

[battysitter]

At what age can you become a teacher, in your world?

I guess. I had no inspiration back home, and I'm about to end school and have no idea what I should be doing next.

I wanted to go to college, study psychology and then work for the FBI.

I like the job I have now though. I work in an art shop.

[battysitter]

FBI, really? [ he doesn't have exactly good relations with them. Or the government in general, after everything that happened back home ]

Are you an artist or something?

what's your job now?

[battysitter]

I like to treat myself.

I work at a batting cage. Which is cool, I guess? Baseball can be fun.

The only person I've seen with perfect hair is Poe Dameron. You might want to ask him.

Assuming he's behaving and not getting into trouble.

[battysitter]

Never heard of him. If he wants to answer that's fine, but I'm not going to bother some random guy.

Well, 'some guy' certainly came to the right place, bro! I have no idea what those other products are, but I have a pretty set routine each morning to get my hair just right...and fortunately you can get most of these products in a nearby import store if you're in Herotopia!

[Eikichi, that is not even the right name, you've only been here for a few days and you're butchering the place you're staying.]

First, you will need the best of the best in Japanese shampoo, Tsubaki! That shampoo and conditioner will leave your hair so soft and silky you'll be tempted to just use that, but never fear, there's more!

Before using hair spray, I have to make sure my hair is going to stick up like I want it, so I employ Hair Bonding Glue at the roots so that they can be molded into the perfect spikes...but be sure to get the hair bond remover, that's important!

Finally, to get the spikes to stand up perfectly, you've got a choice of either Cocky Grease XXtra Hard pomade or Arimino Peace Pro Keeping Wax which will hold the shape and give it a more 'natural look'. Personally, I use the Mofajang hair color wax, although I think I might get some permanent hair coloring to save myself the trouble each day.

[battysitter]

[ holy shit. Okay, nice, he has some names, but Steve doesn't know if he can get japanese stuff that easily probably he can, because the future is amazing like that. ]

I'm looking to keep my mullet, basically. Never tried spikes or coloring, since punk aint my scene.

But thanks for the tips, I'll try to get some of these.

I have absolutely no idea. That's way too far in the future.

What did you want to do when you were a kid?

Kinda sucks being stuck on another time.

I don't remember? A firefighter, I think?

[Attached to this reply is a picture of a shelf in a grocery store that's just full of hair care products. Then another picture, this one of a different shelf in a different grocery store, also filled with hair care products. Then another picture in a local branch of a supermarket chain, also full of hair care products. All these pictures come with captions detailing the names of the grocery stores, and the addresses.

Aww, this is cute. Surely Dustin's gone to all this trouble out of the goodness of his heart—]

One of them's near an ice cream parlor that serves some really good chocolate ice cream. You can get your hairspray and I can get my ice cream, how does that sound?

That sounds like A LOT of work. And brains too.

Do you want your hair to look like Farrah Fawcett?

I want to be a journalist. Or write the next great true crime novel.

[battysitter]

No, I want my hair to keep looking like my hair and not like some cow licked it. [ which is how guys wear their hair nowadays he supposes ]

Crime novel, really? Got any ideas for it?

Medicine is pretty rough, you need a lot of brains for that one.
