accidental video; un: joker

[stealhearted]

[ The video turns on and there is a sound like... bees? No, maybe something... vibrating? The video is dark. It's hard to tell. Then the video shifts, and the noise shifts with it, and then -- ]

Maurice, get off of that--

[ There's a belligerent meow, and then the video feed is abruptly filled with light as it's made apparent that a large cat that is clearly someone's Omen was laying on the video feed. A second later the entire scene is made more apparent: there's Akira (who you may recognize from a previous post that he guest starred in) peering down, holding the (large) cat in his arms. ]

Oh. [ He sets Maurice down. ] Go harass Akechi. [ Maurice, for his part, looks imperious in the way that only a cat can, and then walks out of view of the camera entirely. Akira reaches down... there's a very shaky camera for a moment before Akira seems to properly get ahold of his Omni that he left a little too carelessly where a cat could get it. ]

Hey, does anyone here cut hair? [ Now that you're looking-- if you're looking-- you can tell that Akira's hair has gotten... long. He's tied it back in a very messy, curly manbun, but it has the clear appearance of someone who has given up trying to look remotely put together and leaned hard into the 'crazed coffee hermit' look. ]

I, uh... can give you a good cup of coffee in exchange. Or some curry.

Also, does anyone know how to take care of frogs? Thanks.

I guess that true. My hair curls, so it doesn't bother me. Back where I was before this, I made my specialty working with people with non-human physiology, so I think I can manage. If you trust me.

You're a barista? Or a roaster?

I'm willing to trust you if it gets all this hair off my head.

[ Please, he is so tired. He's getting headaches from the extra weight. He was so poorly equipped for having long hair, he doesn't even use conditioner. ]

I'm just a barista, but the kind that uses hand grinders and pourovers. I've got a small amount of guaranteed not-cursed beans left from home that came with me.

You got it. I can take it conservative at first, or shear the whole thing if you're ready to be done with it. I work out of the back of the Ritual Gig shop.

I'd prefer the non-cursed variety if you can spare it. You got any growing right now? Or are you worried about the soil here?

[stealhearted]

I'm pretty ready to be done with it.

[ Even though text he sounds exhausted about it, honestly. ]

Someone else has been supplying me with some beans they've grown, and they're... intermittently cursed? In weird ways?

So I can give you some of the stuff that's guaranteed to not make frogs spawn in your pockets.
