If it gets on the Omni too, I don't care what John taught us about hubris, I'm going to- ah, there.

[Sayo is sitting on the rim of her bath with a robe tossed around her shoulders but otherwise wearing nothing else aside from an ireful expression. Fragments of Sleeper cocoon are strewn across the bathroom floor—a shard can even be found on her shoulder. The most eye-catching feature of this broadcast, however, is the sticky fluid that's still gumming up Sayo's hair.]

Cannot believe that after weeks of nothing but napping I'm still feeling exhausted... Ahem. First of all, today is August 25th, which is Jessica Ushiromiya's birthday. Everyone, wish her a happy birthday or I'll lay a curse on you so foul even the rats won't dare to pick at your corpse. [It's hard to tell whether the deadpan affect is because she's cracking a joke or if she means it and is too discombobulated to give her threat the proper weight. Hopefully it's the former, but the latter is not out of the question.]

Now, while it was already a minor miracle that I woke up in time to wish my dear girlfriend a happy birthday and I should be thanking my lucky stars for it, this, [she gestures at the mess of cocoon fluid in her hair,] is absolutely unacceptable to be dealing with today of all days. I'm given to understand that it breaks down on its own after a few hours but I need to get it out of my hair RIGHT NOW considering the date, and it seems resistant to normal haircare products.

Does anyone have any advice? I'll take anything at this point.

Have you tried burning it all off and growing it back out again?

[Break -- who, to be fair, currently has a loose ponytail flopped over his left shoulder that would obviously hit his waist if let free and who was definitely still only shaggy at best a couple months ago -- is helping.

Probably.

Maybe? ...probably.]

Kihihihi!

Happy birthday, Jessicaaaaaaa!

[ Hmm. ]

You should just chop it all off, then regrow it with the Golden Magic.

[ The last few weeks when Sayo had been cocooned hadn't been easy, but life has gone on, and it surprises Jessica that she was able to go with it. Within a few days, she was playing shows again and taking classes in Gaze. Sayo wouldn't want her to stop her life, she knows that, and she'll wait as long as it takes for her to come back to her.

But that doesn't mean that it's been easy for her either. Life in Trench never is, but now she's more aware than ever that she could lose the girl she loves, and even surrounded by Himiko and other people that she loves, it's a profoundly lonely feeling. Not least of all because she knows that this could happen to them too.

Jessica is still in science class when the message hits the network, so it's a good half hour before she actually sees it. She might have forgotten entirely about her birthday if it weren't for the people around her reminding her, and right now it's hardly the most pressing thing on her mind she finally sees her girlfriend's face again, tired and vaguely grumpy, but awake, moving around, really returned to her.

She's at the nearest lantern in a flash, and once she's warped to the house they share, she's still running, overcome by excitement and relief. She sees her there in the living room, and tears come to her eyes at the confirmation that she hadn't just hallucinated that message. She outright charges her, laughing joyously as she throws her arms around her girlfriend, her oldest friend, heedless of any nasty goop that might still be in her hair, and holds her as tight as she can. Nothing in Trench is certain, but after all the ordeals that they've gone through, through mistakes and ignorance and sins and forgiveness, they have each other. ]


Sayo! You're really, really back!

Happy birthday, Jessica!

[ One of his favorite cousins, really. ]

Can't help you much with the hair, unless you think the golden magic will sort it out.
