It's probably not going to happen in the next three hours, whatever we do. 

It definitely won't happen if you don't try.

Are there waxing salons open at this hour on a Sunday? Check please, moitiés.

I don't —

Joker rolls her eyes internally, and just grabs the body directly from Akira. 

She starts to google waxing salons.

Wait — what — 

That's not supposed to happen — 

Akira quickly finds herself pulled into a mindspace hug, Julie stroking her hair gently. Breathe, chérie. This is just what it's like for Joker and I during your days, but a bit more jarring from the surprise. It is normal for plural systems, as I understand it. I just wanted a quick and simple answer about whether waxing was even possible today before you and Joker quibbled any longer about it.

Akira relaxes into Julie a little. The hug is... it helps. 

It is so weird to not have the body.

Joker finishes googling. 

There is indeed a waxing salon in the area that opens at nine.

How are we supposed to know if they're trans-friendly though?

Mmmm. Good point.

You could try calling them to ask?

That was a rhetorical question, Joker. 

I can make the call for you, if you want.

It's not going to happen, Joker. Sorry. 

I'll just have to ask Boss, I guess...

It's Sunday. Do you really think he'll close up shop to let you shave your legs? 

Asking him also sounds like a total nightmare. There is no non-awkward way to ask him this.

Who else could you even ask, though? It's Boss or a professional.

— Ann. I can ask Ann. She's got a bathroom, right? And Shiho's got a key to her place even if she has to leave for her modeling shoot, there's even enough time to get there and back —

... I think that plan is actually just crazy enough to work.

Then start a second group-chat with just Ann and Shiho on your way down for breakfast, loves. Bonne idée.

Akira invited Ann and Shiho to chat

Uh, hi girls

I have a awkward request to make

there's nowhere to shave my legs at leblanc and talking to Boss about using his bathroom sounds like a nightmare

Ann, can I come over and use your bathroom to prep for my date? 

Akira throws on her long skirt with the leaves and a basic blouse and heads downstairs while she waits for a response.

Good girl. 

Very good girl, chérie.

Sojiro slides Akira some curry and coffee as usual. "Morning, kid."

He looks just a bit tired, actually, like he was up late talking.

Makes sense, if he's been talking with whoever this Futaba is.

Akira sits and helps herself to curry. "Morning, Boss." She gives him an uncertain smile. "Nerves a little this morning. It's silly, this whole past week I wasn't really jittery and then I try and do something nice and now I'm a mess." 

She runs a hand through her hair and puffs out a breath.
