Yahooo, people of Luceti!

This is an open message directed to both boys and girls, new and old residents, from yours truly Bulma Brief! Those who have been here for longer may remember me talking about setting up a beauty store, if not, well, I did it and it's on the journals. Now then, things have been a bit hectic, so it has taken me longer than I expected, but it's done now. So! If you are in need of a hair cut or a hair dye or just washing your hair and can't do it yourself or would prefer to have someone do it for you, feel more than welcome to drop by "Pearl Eden"! Luceti's brand new beauty store for all your beauty needs. Need someone to do your make up, or a manicure? You can get those here as well!

It's located at house 29, following the path to the Battle Dome. The salon has its own entrance so just head there if you want. Also, if you want I can take appointments through the journals.

[Though she doesn't think there will be a need for that, actually. Still someone is bond to want to use this, right? She can recognize a dyed hair when she sees one after all and she knows there are people who do it, having someone else do it for you it's always easier, isn't it?

Later, at evening time, she will make an elaborate filter for a more serious message.]

[Filtered to the general Luceti population which prefers men as their romantic partners]

At risk of being just making a retoric question without an answer... How do you deal with a man from your world and future for whom something has happened between you both but you're too far back in time, at the point at which at most you're just curious about him?

[Talk about complicated questions. She intended to stop there but she ends rambling a bit.]

I mean, I really don't think that there's something as a predestined thing or something settled in stone, and it's not like it would really matter here of all places. It's not as if he seems particularly interested or is the romantic type, but I know him and there's... Something not right, when right is "how I'm used for things to be", you know. It's not that it's wrong but it's not what I'm used to and even if it's not something big it's enough for it to be awkward. What is a girl supposed to do here? Jump into his arms just because it seems that on our world that's what I'll do in my future? But this isn't our world and it's n ot as if we're the only ones here, as meaningless as it may be, it shouldn't be bad to keep options open. I'm still young and I'm definitively single at my time back home!

But there's a kid. In the future, not for me yet! Still, the thing is there's a son and though I don't know how is the Malnosso's record of bringing here babies or little kids... I've seen little children around so it's a possibility. And I'm not sure I would like for my son to arrive and be traumatized because things aren't like what he's used to. On the other hand, doing something just for the sake of someone who may or may not appear here doesn't really sound like a good idea.

[Not to mention that it would still be awkward.]

It's very important! You're at the age of change, physically and mentally, when the world starts to expand to your eyes. Feeling pretty and special helps to keep a confidence boost.

Hmm.. [ for a moment she sonds thoughtful. ]

I.. I'd like to try it then, maybe.. I don't know if I could feel pretty or special, but.. if you say it's supposed to work that way, I'll believe you.

Any girl can feel pretty and special, darling. Because every girl is so.

If you want to give it a try feel free to drop by at any time. Since it's your first time we can start with something simple like your hair, you would be surprised what a difference it makes to have your hair at its healthiest.

Really? Every girl? Even when there's nothing really special about them at first sight..?

[ ... ]

T-thank you very much, um.. [ what name did she say again.. ] Bulma-san! I'll gladly accept the offer.

Of course! Girls are the most precious thing in the world, no matter how plain or boring they may seem at first glance. That's just because it's a first sight, looking deeply into them is how you can see how special they are. I'm sure you're very special as well, the problem is that we often forget it because of the way the world is.

You sound really confident.. [ she giggles a little, but it's genuine - it's admirable, in her eyes. ]

I can't think of myself as anyone special, but if you say it, I don't want to disagree.

You can't? Say, what's your name? Do you have a family?

Eh..? [ for a moment she blinks blankly. ] My name is Madoka, Madoka Kaname, nice to meet you..

Ah, and I do have a family! I love them a whole lot, my father, my mother and my little brother.

So you're the older sister, huh? And the first daughter, as well. Do you know what that means, Madoka?

[ what that means..? she isn't sure, and so she thinks quietly for a few moments before shaking her head to herself. ]

No. Does it mean.. anything special?

Of course it does! When your parents wanted a child, when they decided to take that important step, you were the one who was born. You were the one who made them parents for the first time in their lives, changing all their world just by arriving. That alone makes you the most special being in the world for them.

And I'm sure you're very special for your brother as well, because you're his older sister and he must love you a lot and look up to you.

W.. wow, I never really looked at that, but.. hmm, if you put it like that, it makes sense. Mama and Papa always seemed really happy to have me too, so.. I'm really grateful for my family and all the fun moments I got to spend with them.

See? You're already special, the most special thing in the world, even if it's for just one person that's all that matters.

Thank you, Bulma-san! You're really, really kind to tell me all of that..

It's not kindness, Madoka. It's a fact.

Kindness would be to tell you that wearing yellow makes you stand out instead of telling you that you look like a cab.

W-wait, is there something wrong with wearing yellow..?

[ totally missing the point. ]

But I still think it's kind of you to tell someone that. After all, there's just the choice of not telling them it in general too..

Depends on the shade of yellow and circumstances. And what kind of clothes you're wearing. Yellow is a very picky and difficult color, not everyone can pull it out, specially wearing it on its own without other complimentary colors. Which is why some people will look plain horribly.

[Bulma smiles a bit.]

There's that choice, yes. But I wouldn't shut up if I had something bad or mean to tell them, so I don't see why I should shut up when saying something good, specially if it's true.

Huh.. You really seem to know a lot about this sort of thing..! You must be a really fashionable person, then..

[ from her tone it's easy to tell she's a little amazed. ]

Of course I am, it's fun and relaxing. And a great way to pamper yourself.

Hmm, I guess I just never paid that much attention to it before, but.. I think you're right! Ehehe, I guess I should try it then, huh..?

You should, definitively. You are such a sweet girl, I'm sure you will be one of the prettiest around with just pampering yourself a little bit.

Maybe not the prettiest, since I already know there are a lot of people I just can't beat on that front, but.. maybe a little closer to it?

Don't be silly, there are more than one degree of prettiest. You have to get to know your own potential and resources and use them properly, then you'll be one of the prettiest without doubt.

[ for a few moments she goes quiet - there's a slight thoughtful hum though, as if she's trying to think about something. ]

But.. how do you discover your own potential, then..?

With some help and patience. And with visits to a beauty salon, of course.

[She laughs.]

Why else would those places exist?
