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?

[chanteuser]

I'll do it with you, if you've got any concerns.

[retellers]

It is not that I'm concerned... but I don't know how to use it.

[chanteuser]

[ oh. ]

You just put it on your face. Leave it off your eyes and your mouth, just the skin around it.

Let it sit for ten to fifteen minutes, then you wash it off.
