Wave 2

[wolfbat_captain]

Characters: Tahno and anyone
Setting: Third Floor. Men's bathroom, and then just outside of 03-08.
Format: Prose to start, but I'll match you!
Summary: Tahno is used to styling his own hair, but not cutting it. As it turns out, his ice bending seems to work pretty well. Maybe he could practice on help out some other people before he gets too adventurous on his own luscious locks...
Warnings: Probably swearing, but nothing other than that.




Men's Bathroom, third floor:

It wasn't like he'd been here forever. In fact it had only been... what, a few months? Still, a few months is a long time when it comes to an appearance like this. He took great pride in his looks, and right now, his hair wasn't up to par. He'd been able to style it properly up until a few weeks ago, when it started getting a bit too long. His signature curl that hung on the side of his face was getting too heavy and had begun to uncurl no matter how tightly he tried to style it. Besides that, the hair on the rest of his head was starting to look shaggy, and that was also pretty unacceptable.

So, he now stood in the men's bathroom, pressing his face a little too close to the mirrors behind the sinks. He didn't have any scissors, but he had his waterbending. If he could cut through the safety glass of a pro-bending mask, he was sure he could cut some hair. The only problem was cutting it properly. He held a thin line of water where he thought he wanted to cut his little side curl, hesitating about freezing it to do so...

Outside of 03-08:

Okay, so cutting his own hair had gone fairly well... mostly. It didn't look quite as good as it used to, but he figured he could fix it. Somehow. He just had to practice on someone else to see what worked and what didn't. Plus, some of the people here could use a proper haircut and styling.

He sat outside of his room on a stool with a big block of ice at his feet, along with a shorter stool for whoever was brave enough to let him touch their hair. Since he didn't have a bucket, a nice block of ice was the next best thing, right?

Now he just had to wait for someone to take him up on the offer...

"Free haircut?" he asked as anyone walked by.

Tohko, after finishing her library duties, had wandered down the dorm hallways reading a copy of Good Omens.

However, sadly, she had gotten so lost in the book that she had wandered too far from her dorm and had wandered down to the third floor. However, the call of a familiar voice made her look up from her book..and sigh.

"I don't need a haircut. Why are you offering anyway? And why do you have a block of ice?"

He hadn't recognized her with her face in that book, but that piercing voice of hers was certainly reminder enough. He huffed, looked away for a moment and considered telling her to just go away.

But, hey, maybe he'd try warming up that silver tongue of his again and see if he could get her to let him cut her hair.

"I think everyone around here could use a haircut, honestly."

Well, not everyone. But most people.

"Ice is here for my waterbending, since I lack any scissors. Offering because I feel like it; is that a good enough reason?"

Yep. Silver tongue there.

If that was a silver tongue, Tahno could really stand to read a few books. However, it wasn't the haircutting that caught Tohko's attention. She had never heard of 'waterbending' and could guess what it meant just by how the word was built..but she was still pretty curious.

"I suppose that is a good reason..but what is waterbending? It's something my universe doesn't have."
