later at some point reigen returns to his own party! nico is also actually showing up? sorry to have stolen the guest of honor but everyone is (hopefully) here now and he's sort of slinking into the room and blending in. his demon crawls out of his hood a little to peer at everybody with its glowy-white eyes, but nico's just going to settle down somewhere in the blanket pile and look at the set-up. ]
...nail polish? [ half-incredulous and half-curious because that does not seem very reigen. no he will not explain where he's been he is just going to ask about this so we can paint our nails. ] Then again the last group activity was friendship bracelets so maybe that's not surprising.
I think it should be pretty simple. I watched a tutorial online one time, since some prayer beads I had bulk ordered wound up looking pretty cheap and I needed to paint some occult symbols on them. You can draw things on with the brush or just use stamps!
Of course you did. [ faintly amused. ] Even if we don't have stamps we can probably use like toothpicks or something for finer details. Depending. [ they are now in this together. ]
Hung probably brought some, right? We can borrow clean ones and if that doesn't work...we'll figure out something else. [ gestures to. all of the food. ]
Why not? We might as well since it's here. [ also it's a good distraction and a good way to keep hands busy and not think about anything important. ] Pretty sure there's way too many colors anyway.
[she wanders over to him and flops down, handing him soot the cat, who immediately climbs on his shoulder and meows triumphantly. nico mountain conquered.]
I don't think I've ever done this before. I don't usually have nails. [shows him her nasty bitten fingernails help]
[ oh hi. there's a cat. he lets soot the cat climb so now he really has shame the demon on one side and soot the kitten on the other. he is apparently fine with this given he is busy trying to hide in some of the blankets while letting nimona stay close. ]
You're excused. [ his nails are short but at least they're surprisingly clean and cared for, so he considers them for a second. ] ...if you want, we can clean them up and see how they look? We'll find a cool pink color for you.
[ he says easy words, but the tone sounds a little desperate like "i would really like a distraction right now but you can say no and i'll figure out something else." ]
[she can kind of sense that in his tone, and while she doesn't know exactly what's wrong, she shifts to put her legs in his lap. weighted blanket reverse uno. soot busies himself with sniffing shame and trying to groom it.]
Yeah. You can do whatever you want to them, actually, if you can make them look good. [...] Can't shift so at least they'll stay like this.
You can paint them black if you really want. [makes a face, but playfully]
I don't know how easily, uh, human? Nail polish will take to my nails... [ looking down at his clawish nails thoughtfully. ] But I'm game to try, anyways.
[ and he's got his shoes off because he's from dystopia urban fantasy-esque hong kong so his paw feet are out. looks down at his actual 100% dog claws on them. ]
The joke here is that I know they make polish for pets.
You could probably do multiple coats to get it to stick? And if that doesn't work we'll send anybody but Reigen to the pet store to see what we can find. [ that is not something to joke about, and yet. ]

I'm guessing you're going for black.

What gave it away? [ haha. ] It's simple and it goes with everything else. But you could probably pull off something better.

I think that might work. Might help with doing any fun colors, too, with layering it like that.
