WHO: Yasuho and the App
WHERE: ONLINE
WHEN: Late March
WHAT: Enough is Enough with the Rapunzel Shampoo! ...Also, Macaroni Ice Cream,
WARNINGS: None

[UN: MUSICOLOGYMINOR - March 29]

Looking for advice- how do you make sure you've got the right bottle in the shower if the bottle keeps mysteriously replacing itself? I've put this shampoo bottle back in the cabinet four times now, and I don't want to accidentally use it again.

I can't be the only one with this problem.

[something Happened here,]

[CLOSED - Direct Message to CR]

Hey-

The Goodwill gave me a tub of macaroni and cheese flavored ice cream.

Want to try it?

[If she knows you, and she knows you're willing to try Weird Foods- congrats! You got this message.]

[UN: MUSICOLOGYMINOR - A Day After The First Prompt]

Good news! Scrap the question about the bottle, I found out what happened.

Bad news:

[Behold a picture of a three tailed fox! With so much hair. Maybe it's not even a fox, just a giant mass of orange fur. It's a mystery.]

Who has experience shaving animals, we're afraid to see what happens when she turns back.

Yasuho winces.

"...We might have to uh...get some professionals involved at this point..." Ooooooooh, this is going to be tricky... "I don't suppose you found any good dog groomers after you got that dog..?"

"Oh, I usually just brush her myself?"

Keke is, thankfully, not quite long-haired enough to require fancy grooming as long as Ritsuka stays on top of that.

"Though maybe try just a regular scissors now that most of it is gone?"

Meanwhile, that itch she was complaining about must be really bugging her, because she tries again to raise a paw to scratch behind her ear... Only to be foiled once more as all the extra fur padding makes it as effective as scratching with thick mittens on.

"Fair, I'd hoped we could get away with not skimming the stuff online..."

Alas, here they are. She does fortunately have a pair of scissors here though, so she'll just start rooting around for those.

"I can probably get some of this trimmed down, but I really don't feel comfortable getting too close with these- for all I know you'd turn back and end up with a buzzcut, and that's without getting into the chances I actually cut you..."

It'd just be a nick with the scissors of course, but that's still not great!

"Yeah, but it'd help if I could move without so much getting in the way..."

And scratch itches! That itch is driving her crazy, it's taking all her willpower to sit still and not whine.

"We'll just have to hope this works- at least enough to get someone else to finish the job..."

The scissors obtained, she comes trotting back- it's a bit weird not hearing her new hooves clack, thanks to all the hair everywhere- and stoops down. "Try...really hard not to move too much, got it?"

"Right..."

Much as the itchy ear nags her, she'll do her best to sit absolutely still!

Which actually is pretty good, considering. She's had some experience with needing to hold still and hide from something or another and things like that, after all.

Snip snip....ssssssnip snip....

It all seems to be going well at least...snip....

"Okay....I think I got that ear, how's it feel though..?"

On the one hand, there's still a lot of fur on her legs and feet. On the other hand, thanks to the magic of convex versus concave surfaces, it's not nearly as much of a problem to mostly push it aside and out of the way.

Which is to say that as soon as Yasuho backs off with the scissors and gives the go-ahead, there is some furious scratching before Ritsuka replies.

"Yeah, that's better."

Does she mean the trimming or the itch??

Ohhhh thank goodness this is going so much easier....

"Great! I-"

Wait that's a good question what. Does Ritsuka mean- "...the itching, or the cutting I'm doing..?"

"... oh, uh."

...

"Yes?"

Look, it had been really itchy, okay??

"....Right...well, let's just get the rest so that we can find someone to clean up the job...that or so you can change back and we trim the rest from there anyway."

"Right..."

She'll hold still, but she's still not at all sure if the changing back idea will even work, or if she'll just end up looking normal there with awkwardly long patches of fur in this form.

The easiest parts to trim at this point are the tails- they're long, they're tails, and ultimately if she cuts a little too much off-

"Ah..."

...Well it just looks kinda funky.

By the end of what she's confident with, Ritsuka mostly looks like a very, very round fox. That's so much fur....

"I think this is as best as I can risk it without really manhandling you...it'll probably be easier if you can turn back now."

Somewhere, literal worlds away, a certain Demi-Servant is probably getting the strangest feeling that there's something she really wishes she could see.

"Well, it's better than before, at least..."

Though she's going to take a moment to really stretch first, being first weigh down by all that fur and then having to carefully hold still really was less than comfortable.

It's fine, probably. It'll all be fine.

"That's the most we could hope for at this point. I'll try labelling the bottle more obviously from now on..."

Unspoken is the fact that if Ritsuka tries to prank Yasuho with a label swap or something, it's not really going to help things though. Come to think, that's probably what got them here.

"Err, right..."

Maybe Ritsuka will just have to lay off that prank in particular going forward. Or be more careful not to get dirty while a fox.

In any case, if Yasuho wants to snap a photo of furball Ritsuka, now's probably her last chance!

....click.

It's muffled and quiet given it's from a phone but...

Hey!! Paisley's behind Yasuho! And holding the phone!!

She definitely took a shot!
