It doesn't really come up... I don't usually remember I'm wearing one to begin with.

[chanteuser]

Really?

[ ... huh. ]

I would've thought it'd get uncomfortable sometimes.

[retellers]

I think I was likely used to having one before...

[chanteuser]

Wearing a mask?

...

Still, doesn't you face need to... breathe?

[retellers]

I am breathing already...?

[chanteuser]

No, I mean... your skin. Covering it up can cause breakouts, and those aren't fun.

[retellers]

Breakouts?

[chanteuser]

Spots? Dry patches of skin? I think masks irritate your skin if it's sensitive.

But either way, a proper facemask is kind of fun to do.

[retellers]

Is it...?

[ not judging, just curious as if they don't understand the wonders of doing a facemask. ]

[chanteuser]

Yup. It's nice and relaxing too.

[retellers]

I see... It's true that such things are important for humans.

[chanteuser]

As much as anything else is. You have to unwind and recharge sometimes. And a lot of products focus on beauty.

Still, you should give it a try. You just leave it on for around 15 minutes and then wash it off.

[retellers]

... If it is called a mud mask, why does mud from the outside not work, then?

[chanteuser]

It's the type of mud, I think. It does use mud but it's specific types, and some types of clay? Mud from outside is just... dirty, but if it's being kept specifically for beauty products it's treated differently.

[retellers]

I see... I suppose that makes sense. Humans must have worked very hard to discover this.

[chanteuser]

I think we just like doing things to try and stop ourselves from ageing. [ hmmmm. ]

But it does feel nice. I enjoyed the stuff I found in the spa a lot.

[retellers]

That's good. A pity it will disappear by next week, then.

[chanteuser]

Better enjoy it while you can then. Before it's gone!

[retellers]

I enjoyed my time with everyone there last night. That is good enough for me, I think.

[chanteuser]

[ goat just try the mud mask, damn. ]

...

[ she lifts a hand and wiggles it. ]

Did you get your nails done?

[retellers]

[ goat has no idea that alex (or rather, becks) wants him to try it on right now! ]

Yes... Ochako did them for me.

[chanteuser]

[ time to let him know. ]

Oh, show me?

[ also: ] And you had no problem just going ahead and letting her do that there and then?

[retellers]

[ he shows off his rainbow glittery nails to alex. welp pronouns but it was probably obvious by now ]

Should I have had a problem...?

[chanteuser]

[ bless all of you for keeping this up. ]

No. But you're pretty reluctant to try the mud mask, so I wondered if it was a beauty product thing in general.

[ hmmmmm ]

They look nice. Ochako must've really had fun with all that nail painting.

[retellers]

Oh. Did you want me to use it now?
