5th Treasure - [Voice]
[It'd been another one of those mornings. One of those mornings where the house felt a little emptier. Patty'd hoped she wouldn't ever have to make one of these announcements, but there's no one left to take the burden off her shoulders, now. There's only her. ... Well, her and Alexei, but she can't exactly ask him to announce this.
When she opens the journal, she tries to make her voice sound as airy as possible. Of course, she doesn't entirely succeed. There's a kind of stuffiness to her tone that makes it seem as if she's got a bad cold.]
To everyone who knew her, Estelle's gone back home. There's a small ocean of library books in her room, so I guess I'll have to return those myself, ya know.
So... While I've got this thing open, I might as well ask. Anyone here handy with a pair of scissors and a mop of hair? My locks've been getting longer than a whale's tail, ya know. I could use a good cut.

As you can see, it's kinda getting out of hand back here.
action
[Clove can't imagine the patience to let it get that long in the first place.]
How short?
action
Hmm... I'm thinking maybe half of what it is now. Then I can go without a haircut again for a long while, ya know!

action
Aye, that feels about right!

Here. That way I can get behind you without any kind of chair back.
action
How's this?
action
[Carefully, Clove beings undoing the braids, running her fingers through the hair to make it hang loose and together. That done, she indicates a spot on Patty's back again, tapping it.]
About here?
action
Maybe just a wee bit lower. To compensate for the braiding, ya know.
action
[She indicates another spot, a few inches lower.]
Here?
action
action
Done.
action
[Patty's used to people taking at least three times as long. Granted, they usually use a pair of scissors. Pirate as she is, the quick knife-slicing method isn't used too often when it comes to hair. She reaches behind her back to feel at her hair, but it's indeed as short as she'd hoped.]
Whoah! That was faster than a dolphin's tail!

Well, glad I could help.
action
If you ever need me to return the favor, just let me know! I can't give neat haircuts, but I've got plenty of other useful qualities, ya know.

That'd be great. My roommate cooks; he's getting pretty good, actually. But something different is always great.
