Does anyone know a good place in town to get a haircut?

SO MUCH ACTION

[rivalsweetscent]

[OH... HELLO.... Bulba what happened to your head.]

Gladys!

[LOOK HE KNOWS YOUR NAME IT MUST BE HIM FOR REALS even if his hair is not. Right.] Hey, what's wrong? [Even though he pretty much already knows now.]

ALL THE ACTION

[popnpakkun]

[Oh... Bulba... What happened to your pretty hair]

BULBAAA it's so horribleee! I ran into a hobo on Valentines day and I think I gave away my hard-work chocolate to him instead to you for making you upset! [whine whine whine]

[rivalsweetscent]

[Wow is he ever glad he talked to Vinnie first or this would be super alarming and he wouldn't know who to punch.]

Hobo... [He shakes his head and gets up, going over to give her a hug.] Hey, it's okay... Everything's normal again now, so it's all right. [See, look, he's wearing a smile for you.] No one's ever made chocolates just for me before, so the thought definitely counts.

[Come over here and sit on the bed with him.]

[popnpakkun]

[Oh this Bulba is acting like he normally would. Nice and kind and reassuring. The Bulba she always liked so much!]

Are... are you sure? I really feel bad for making you upset the other day...

[:C forever...Until, that is she actually notices something is actually different with Bulba.]

What happened to your hair?

[rivalsweetscent]

[He thought about that a bit. He had been a bit upset in the kitchen, but not enough for her to apologize for. He still wasn't sure if she even knew that was him. So that probably meant she was talking about something Marie had done.]

No, it's okay, really. I probably wasn't the one that was upset.

[Bulba awkwardly ran a hand through what was left of his hair.]

Uh... well there was kind of an incident like what happened with you and the hobo.

I mean Vinnie.

Not a hobo. He's not a real hobo.

[popnpakkun]

[Gladys gives a frown at that. WHICH ONE IS IT...]

So is his name Hobo then?

[CONFUSION.]

[rivalsweetscent]

[adhsnab]

No, no. Not hobo. His name is Vinnie.

[Paaaause.]

He didn't touch you anywhere weird, did he?

[He totally believes you, bro, but these things need to be double cbecked.]

[popnpakkun]

Touch me anywhere weird? Like?

[Because what is human anatomy and sexual things.]

[rivalsweetscent]

Uh... [Geez how to explain. Bulba gave it some thought. Luckily, it wasn't as though they were strangers to physical displays of affection like hugs and the like.]

Well... There's hugging and holding hands the like, right? Touching weird would be like... touching you more than that in places you wouldn't normally think to touch.

[popnpakkun]

[Do you see those question marks on her head? Because there are a couple.]

Uuumm...

[She tilts her head, confused.]

[rivalsweetscent]

[...Yeah that didn't work. Bulba scratched his cheek a bit.]

...

[Welp. He pointed at his chest and then... more... down...]

Those places. [Amongst others but those were the easy ones.]

[popnpakkun]

Ah...

[And then another thought to process: did the guy touch her in those places? Everything was a blur that she didn't exactly remember it all.]

Hmm.... I don't think so...?

[rivalsweetscent]

Ha.... That's good, then.

[Derp. Here's a derpy half-grin.]

I won't have to punch him too much.

[popnpakkun]

[Forever clueless.]

Why would you need to punch him, though?

[rivalsweetscent]

Mm, just because. Nothing to worry about.

[popnpakkun]

Okay then!

[And then she remembers what was the initial reason why she came to Bulba's room.]

I'd still would want to give you a present though.

[rivalsweetscent]

[Blink. Smile.]

The thought alone is more than enough for me.
