A funny thing happened...

  • May. 8th, 2008 at 11:02 AM
Cheeky
The park is dangerous, that it is.

It’s safer now, but yesterday there was a mess, aye, with a gang of imps attacking a dryad, that they were! I can’t fight imps alone, no. They smell bad, that they do, and are always playing tricks on ye. Ye never know if they’ll attack from the front or do something sneaky, that ye don’t. Ye need at least a party of two to be holding them off, aye, and the best sort of a team is one that seems odd – a clown and a unicorn.

But I was me by me lonesome self, I was.

I grabbed the nearest thing that could be called a weapon, a branch that had fallen in the struggle, aye. It seemed fitting, it did, that one of her limbs would be used to defend her. As I was preparing to be going into battle, though, movement caught my eye. It was a group of pixies, it was! Now pixies are tricky little lasses; they’ll stick to a bargain but he need to be making it smartly else it will backfire, aye. I didn’t have time to bargain smartly, not when the dryad was in danger, I didn’t.

So I made a hasty deal, I did. They liked the color of my hair and wanted some, and in exchange they would help me fight off the nasty imps, aye.

We made quick work of the disgusting creatures, that we did. But my bargain wasn’t well thought out, no. I had been desperate, and needed help quickly, that I had. So instead of pulling a hair here and there, they pulled out clumps, they did. So now I have bald spots, that I do.

And to add insult to injury, one of me roommates decided to add decoration to me face, he did. He’s dead. But he doesn’t know it yet, that he doesn’t.




[[ooc: Shishi (aka the imp) knocked Jin (aka the unicorn) out yesterday and carved bald spots out of his hair, drew patterns on his cheeks, and wrote "I'm an idiot" and Jin's phone number on the Irishman's forehead. This is Jin's explanation of it. He will likely be wearing a hat when your character(s) see him next... and here, have an old Irish Tall-Tale song, hee...]]

REALLY!? I've been to the park, and I've NEVER seen anything like that! That's AMAZING! And kind of scary! I'm glad that the pixies didn't take anything other than your hair! And that they helped you defeat the smelly imps!

The pixies can be trusted, that they can. I said me hair, and said it in haste, I fear, but at least I'm not bald, that I'm not. They wouldn't have taken anything else, no. Luckily these were American pixies, aye, and not the Irish variety. Those are tricksome little buggers who know how to twist anything, that they do.

Hee! I think it might be better to have all your hair gone than chunks missing... Pixies are different in different countries? Are there Japanese pixies? What are they like?

I don't know, that I don't. I'm fond of me hair, quite a bit, aye.

Of course pixies are different in different countries, they are! People are different in different countries, aren't they? It's not like pixies are bikes, objects that are everywhere, no.

Japanese pixies wear masks, they do, and require sake in exchange for tasks. They're honorable, aye, as long as ye have good sake. If it's not good, then ye can expect to get miniature throwing stars in ye, ye can.

I don't think people are that different in different countries... People are people! There are nice ones and mean ones here, there are nice ones and mean ones in Japan... Mostly, people are nice!

I hope no Japanese pixies travel here to America! I can't buy alcohol in the United States! And I don't like shuriken stabbing me!

People are people, aye, but there are regional changes, there are.In some areas of the world ye can leave your bike unlocked, and it won't get taken, no. In Ireland ye can leave your bike locked and come back to find a pedal, that ye can.

Ye don't have to worry, no. They only ask for something if ye ask a favor of them, aye.

Pixies. They took some of me hair, they did. But it was worth it, aye.

Pixie pixies? Like the fictional things?
[info]mischievouswind wrote:

Fictional? Pixies? Ye are too 'sensible' and 'modern,' ye are. Live a wee bit, why don't ye? Pixie pixies.

Oi, me, sensible? I think that's the furthest word from the truth you could use.

Ne, so pixies wanted a chunk of your hair for something then?
[info]mischievouswind wrote:

That's more like it, that is. Aye, I don't know if it's just because me hair is a bright color, it is, or if they needed it for some spell. But unlike Nordic pixies, American ones don't make ye a slave if they get something of yours, no. So I've nothing to fear, that I don't.

Oh, you know a lot about pixies and unicorns then?
[info]mischievouswind wrote:
May. 8th, 2008 07:16 pm (UTC)
That I do. They're what I was raised on, that they are!

And have they stolen your hair before~?
[info]mischievouswind wrote:
May. 8th, 2008 07:24 pm (UTC)
They haven't, no. I don't normally need to be making bargains with them, that I don't.

Ne, well hopefully they don't want to steal any more, or else you might start to look a bit funny.
[info]mischievouswind wrote:
May. 9th, 2008 02:14 am (UTC)
I'm not sure that I don't look funny already, no, but I'll be trying to stay away from them, aye.

Oh? How big of a spot is it then?
[info]mischievouswind wrote:
May. 9th, 2008 02:19 am (UTC)
There are a couple, aye. They aren't too big, but they're visible, they are. I'll be wearing a hat for a bit, that I will.

I think I'd be pissed if pixies did that to me...
[info]mischievouswind wrote:
May. 9th, 2008 02:28 am (UTC)
But they helped me save the dryad, that they did, so I can't fault them too much, no. It was my fault for being hasty in making my bargain, it was.

I guess you'll just have to live with the bald spots until your hair grows out then... or shave your head~

I have a funny bump on me head, I do. I wouldn't look good bald, that I wouldn't.

Oi, well I guess it is cool enough still to get away with a hat~

I might wind up with a mohawk, that I might.

...how much have you been drinking lately?
[info]mischievouswind wrote:
May. 8th, 2008 07:11 pm (UTC)
Nothing yet today, no. Why? Are ye wanting a pub crawl? That could be fun, aye.
[info]miroku_okinawa wrote:

Not what I was getting at... but I wouldn't be averse to it. Just keep the pixies away.
[info]mischievouswind wrote:

Should be easy enough, aye. Pub crawls are lovely things, that they are.

May. 9th, 2008 02:14 am (UTC)
Oh.

Are ye sure? I thought that was fun, I did...

But if ye don't want to go with me, then ye don't have to, no...

It was fun, but if yer just gonna get attacked by imps I'll have t' watch myself!
[info]mischievouswind wrote:

They didn't attack me, they didn't, I attacked them! And we beat them off, me and the pixies, we did! Besides, I was only worried because I was alone, aye. Ye'd have me and likely your attack puppy, no? There's nothing to be worried about, there isn't!

I have bald spots on me head now, I do. I was telling everyone how it happened, aye, because I thought it was fun, that I did. But now it seems I've scared everyone, it does, and I feel stupid, that I do.

Oh I see. I think people around here just aren't used to that sort of thing.
[info]mischievouswind wrote:
May. 9th, 2008 04:38 am (UTC)
I'm disappointed, that I am. But I can't be less like me, no. I can try to stick to things that everyone does, but I'd get bored fast, and then worse things happen, that they do. I guess I just thought that everyone wanted to play, I did. It's summer break, the weather is getting warmer, and there was a party the other day and another tomorrow, aye. Shouldn't they be in happy moods?

First, I'll tell you that if you're completely insane, I don't think I like you spending too much time with Yachiru... she enjoys stories though.

On a different note... if you don't want to be bald, a mohawk is just about the only hairstyle that would look even close to normal if you've got chunks missing. I can do it if you want me to. I'm a hairdresser, when I'm not at one of my other jobs.

I'm not insane, no! I was trying to have a wee bit of fun, but now everyone is wondering if I'm sane, that they are. :(

A mohawk? I hadn't thought of it with me hair before, I hadn't, but I have a friend who has a mohawk, and it's fun, that it is. I don't want to be stealing his thunder, that I don't. But do ye think it would work? If so... when would be a good time? I'd prefer to not be having to wear a hat all of the time, I would. I can't feel the breeze on me head, no.
