[Miu appears lounging sideways on a chair, legs hanging over one arm. She's got some closed nail polish balanced on her stomach and she keeps critically eyeing her nails as she speaks]

Yeah, people are being murdered, but we apparently come back so it's whatever. Explains why there's no ghosts around here, which honestly has led to the soundest sleep I've gotten in years. Can't complain about that.

Anyway the important thing is that with no one here, I haven't been able to get my hair or nails done in way too long. Does anyone know how to do nails?

[She holds out her hand to present her nails for emphasis; her nails have plain nail polish on it and she doesn't look really happy with it. She pulls back and looks down at them herself, heaving a sigh]

This place is so boring... What are you supposed to do for fun here? Aside from murder, apparently. [She rolls her eyes, her tone sarcastic. Gosh, murder, sooo original.]

But important things first: I need my nails done.

My hero. [She sighs and sits up fully, leaning over to look at the text]

It's gotten dire. I just want something cute, is that so much to ask? [She adopts a mildly dramatic tone and an exaggerated pout]

[eyepoint]

This place makes it impossible to ask for cute things.

[ she'd also sigh because all her cute dresses are back at home ... ]

Did you manage to get cute colors, at least?

[blackwaterchild]

The clothes are alright, but nothing beats the stuff I could find in Harajuku.

[uuggghhh this place sucks. She sits up and puts the nail polish bottles in front of the camera. There's a shimmery green one, a crimson red, a shimmery pink, and a pastel lavender-y color]

These were cute, at least! I'm thinking of doing the red. Grab some red lipstick and go for a total femme fatale look, you know? Normally I just do a clear color or like a French manicure since it looks better on screen, but it's not like I've got work to do here, so might as well go a bit crazy, right?

[ ruby's excitedly leaning in too, even if she's texting ... ]

I like the red one, too! I think it would look good on you.

Though how about doing lavender and then an accent nail with the pink one?

[blackwaterchild]

[She looks down at her hands, trying to imagine it] Oh, that sounds cute! You're pretty good at this sort of thing.

[She huffs a breath] You'd think I'd be better at it, but I don't usually decide this stuff.

[eyepoint]

Hehe, I also learned from my friends. Plus it's kinda necessary with what I do.

The red and pink work well, too! Do you know if there were makeup sponges around?

[blackwaterchild]

What do you do?

I grabbed make-up supplies first thing I could from one of those little convenience stores. I've got some stuff.
