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.]

But if he's a little boy it would be trouble.

[Is she getting this right?]

Exactly. Specially if it's one who hasn't lost his father when he was a baby... No, maybe even if he had lost him it could be troublesome.

Sounds like the father wouldn't believe you if you told him it was his either, huh?

Sounds like you'll need to keep your distance.

I suppose he wouldn't... He probably would just think it's a joke or an insult that a mere Earthling would dare to even suggest that his awesome royal blood would get mixed with theirs.

[Indeed, if it was the other way around... If it was her the one knowing and him the one not knowing, he wouldn't have believed her, right? Even with all the signs and tell-tales. Part of her still wonders how could it happen... Maybe it was just a one night thing and she got that lucky, or unlucky. But then why would he bother to tell her? Or seem worried about telling her?]

You know, I think that's a good idea. Probably he would prefer it too...

Royalty, huh. [Mai snorted a laugh.] Yeah, they tend to think their way of thinking is all that matters.

Specially if they are the proud type. And the type that looks down on anything other than their own reflection.

[Stupid alien prince.]

Even when they have nothing left to rule or whatever, it's like engraved in their genes.

[Smirk.]

And then they go off to do their own thing and don't bother to run anything by you.

[Oh, God, doesn't she know that?]

Not even bothering to say a goodbye or a thanks when they even take things you made. Without even a word about where or how they are until they return on the brink of death expecting you to drop everything and go and help them again.

[At least hers does.]

And then you save their butt and you get captured for their sake even though they technically dumped you.

[All was said and forgiven, but she still liked to bring it up to indulge her grumpy side.]

Okay, you beat me there.

[Not that this was a competition or anything. But really, fortunately she hasn't ever have to save his butt and get captured for his sake.]

But thanks to him I ended stuck in a whole other planet that was about to be blown up to pieces only to be saved miraculously and offer him a place to stay because he literally only had the clothes he had on which were pretty destroyed, even though he had been threatening me and my friends with death not that long ago. I feed him, build things for him, keep his clothes clean and in perfect state, take care of his health, all without asking for even a zenni in return. And he still hasn't even said a simple "sorry" or anything in regards of having tried to destroy my planet, having killed my ex-boyfriend and almost killed myself and others of my friends.

[Wordswordswordswordswords.]

Uh.

[Mai falls back in her seat at deluge that had just been thrown her way. At the risk of sounding like a certain tongue-tied Fire Bender, Mai tries to offer some sort of pithy response.]

That's really rough.

[Word for word, Mai. Word. For. Word.]

[Filter]

At least I survived it all, I suppose.

[What doesn't kill you makes you stronger, as they say. Though in this case she's not sure if it's worth it. She huffs and grumbles to herself.]

Men.

[Best word to sum up all her problems. Or some of them at least.]

[As far as you know, at least. But Mai doesn't say that part out loud.]

Silver linings and all that.

[Mai huffs in return.]

You're being too generous. [BOYS.]

[If she dies, so long as she doesn't do it twice they will just resurrect her anyway. Not that she doesn't care about dying, though, she's too young to not care about it.]

As much as mine resembles a monkey I think it would be an insult for monkeys to be compared with him. Otherwise I wouldn't even consider him human... Er... Human-like.

[Well, Mai doesn't know how to respond to that. So just have a quirked brow, instead.]

... He used to turn into a giant ape when he looked at a full moon, it doesn't happen anymore though. Thankfully. So technically he could be compared to a monkey rather than be put in the same group as other men.

[Assuming that's the part that needs to be explained.]

[She didn't exactly need an explanation, since it only cemented her opinion of the weirdness of the whole thing.]

So...he's a were-ape?

That's a way to say it, but not really. He's an alien, from another planet, they had monkey tails and as long as they had them they would turn into giant apes upon staring at the full moon. But if they didn't look at it everything was fine. It didn't need to be the moon, either, basically a round bright object that's not a star would work apparently.

So, what, do people usually cut off their tails? [Sounds painful.]
