So with the weather getting even warmer, some of us with fur have probably dealt with shedding- Well, more shedding than before- for the past month, if you've been here a while. Maybe it started with new fur, for you people that showed up pretty recently. Anyway, there's some stores that sell combs and brushes specifically for shaving fur.

... Final tip. [ This was a tip-post? ]

It might feel nice, but don't use those things every day. Not unless you want to start shredding your skin in some weirdly slow way.

[ Which may be why this is voice. Well, it can't be said that this is something that's never brought up now. ]

"shredding your skin in some weirdly slow way"
suddenly glad i'm only just dying

[petcromancer]

Are you alright? Your advice seems oddly specific.

[He's been acting as an unofficial veterinarian in the city. Does he need to come rub ointment on you, Judar?]

[sylphid]

[He knows who this is by the voice. She's not even sorry.]

Ew.

un: ma - voice

[stopfen]

[She knows that voice.]

They probably have cream for that.

[A beat.]

You're not bleeding or anything are you?

[Was that...concern?]

[kuroi_taiyo]

Difference is that one's more avoidable.

[ And he knows damn well that there's more going on than 'just dying', for the only monster type that has that happening. ]

[kuroi_taiyo]

[ Ack. He doesn't need a vet. ]

I'm fine. It's definitely one of those things people don't talk about though!

[kuroi_taiyo]

[ As if they hadn't responded on the network before. Also! Can it! ]

I don't need you going 'ew'! You're probably loaded with hairballs.

[sylphid]

[Never! Fie is here for the unwanted commentary.]

Ewwwww. And no, I'm actually not.

[kuroi_taiyo]

[ Please kill him. Is there a cream for that. ]

It'd be better to not need the cream at all, right? Besides, who said I was bleeding? These are just tips! I'm being helpful by sharing things no one told me.

[ Really! He's fine! They scab over quickly enough. ]

[kuroi_taiyo]

[ He's gonna gather all his hair in a wet and soggy ball and leave it in your mailbox or something. Ugh ]

Sure you're not. As if you haven't had to deal with coat changing.

[ Proving that Judar's well aware that Snow Leopard =/= cat. ]

[sylphid]

[Do it. She dares him.]

I did a little bit. But I don't have to worry about it.

[Also Fie just gets her fur magically removed. Her one point of vanity...? Not that she'll ever fucking admit that.]

[stopfen]

If skin is shedding then it's probably going to bleed soon. [Because the skin was weaker.]

[kuroi_taiyo]

... What do you mean, you don't have to worry about it?

[ No one's brought up magic removal for shedding! Then again, he doesn't know any witches that have a reason to practice that kind of magic, either. ]

[sylphid]

Exactly what I said.

[Not just shedding. Where there should be fur, there is only spotted skin. Fie has preferences!]

[kuroi_taiyo]

It doesn't happen if you leave a few days between using those brushes and combs. They're basically needles or something to rip out the loose hair. With time apart for each use, the skin probably recovers enough for there to be no problems.

[ The bleeding's done! For the moment ]

[kuroi_taiyo]

... What're you doing for that?

[ Look, he doesn't know your life or how long you've been around. He figured it was similar to how he didn't have the fur growing in right away, but had the full coat in January!

... He may also have trouble remembering what Fie looks like, with the pain killers he was on at the hospital. ]

[stopfen]

... [Opens mouth, closes mouth.] I've heard of using a blade to remove hair but ripping it out? [Judar, that sound horrific.]

What if you just let it grow?

[kuroi_taiyo]

[ It sounds worse than it is! Unless you start doing it daily. ]

Then you deal with a lot of loose hair coming off at various times, and getting stuck everywhere? It's to speed the fur shedding. What grows will keep growing, but that particular part of the coat's coming out no matter what.

[ Once he heals up a bit, his new coat is very pretty, Mikasa. ]

[sylphid]

Magic. There are plenty of monsters here besides us. Local witches have a good fur management business.

[To her, it's pretty obvious if you think about it. Mirrorbound weren't the first ones in Aefenglom.]

[stopfen]

[But it was floffy before, and soft. Granted she'd only petted a little while she was trying to wrangle that braid.]

And you're shedding that much that you need to do this everyday?








...How are you not bald?

[spaghettimonster]

Does... shredding skin hurt?

[This also being voice, it may not be clear why he's unsure.]

[kuroi_taiyo]

[ To have a life where you never have to worry about skin abrasions... (Judar, he's a skeleton. Skin and bones, minus the skin.) ]

Mm... It can sting to some degree, if you don't go too far with it. It's easy to stop quickly enough when you're the one in control.

[kuroi_taiyo]

[ Well, now it's a silky soft instead of a fluffy soft. ]

It's more that the shedding hair's really light in color, and I usually wear dark clothes. The more I get, the less that shows up on them.

[ And what kind of question is that?! ]

Loose hair. It pulls up loose hair, not stuff still rooted. Besides, it's not like I'm doing this on my scalp.

[ That hair isn't going anywhere. ]

[kuroi_taiyo]

I haven't been seeing it advertised in that many places...

[ Probably because he doesn't frequent those sections of town. ]

People told me about combs and brushes, not going to some witch-run business.

[sylphid]

So? If you ask around enough, you'll eventually find what you're looking for. This place basically runs on magic, asinine things like grooming should be a breeze for witches.
