ƎNA-pattern baldness. You have seven days to save your hair.

[ Staring at it for a few moments, ] ... What's my forecast?

The Shepherd.@hourglassmeadow.bsky.social · 9mo ago

( Taking the picture after like Fifteen Minutes. Wordlessly showing it to ƎNA. Bald. )

Understood! [ Holding perfectly still like a statue ]

The Shepherd.@hourglassmeadow.bsky.social · 9mo ago

I'm checking your temperature. Hold still. ( Pulling out one of those old-timey cameras that take forever to actually take a picture. )

? What are you doing 😊?

The Shepherd.@hourglassmeadow.bsky.social · 9mo ago

( Moving its hand up to her forehead and pushing her bangs back. Bald )

[ . . . Not entirely sure why she did this in the first place but she's not stopping? ]

The Shepherd.@hourglassmeadow.bsky.social · 9mo ago

( Squinting. Scowling. Not actually moving her hand away. )

[ Immediately pacified? However instead of crying she bites its hand. Gently. Like a kitten ]

The Shepherd.@hourglassmeadow.bsky.social · 9mo ago

( Putting her hand over her mouth )

, [ Face slooowly scrunching up like a small child about to cry ]

The Shepherd.@hourglassmeadow.bsky.social · 9mo ago

( Smacking the back of her head. ) Don't do that again.

I thought it would be most effective to provide solidifiable proof!

The Shepherd.@hourglassmeadow.bsky.social · 9mo ago

( Covering her ears. ) I ASKED IF YOU KNEW HOW I DIDN'T SAY TO.

[ Making this noise virtually unprompted ]

The Shepherd.@hourglassmeadow.bsky.social · 9mo ago

Do you know how to scream?

[ Absolutely fucking devastated, ] THEY'WE GOING TO SEND ME TO HELL BEFOWE I DIE. . . . I've never visited! I ought to begin studifying the language!

The Shepherd.@hourglassmeadow.bsky.social · 9mo ago

The act is what's judged. ( Putting a dog up to her ear like she's getting a call. ) Yeah? Uh huh? They just told me you're going to Catholic Hell when you die. They don't want to deal with you.

- Fun is quite the elusive varmint—isn’t it? But remember: it is never lost forever. Often, the greatest of fun can be found in the little moments. - L-like... how little they are?! - You need not return here anymore. This is your Resolution.

Is that so. . . ? Thank you! You are remarkably kind yourself, dearest Madam.

Creepy. . . ? No, no, no, no, no! No no no. On the contrary, I find you remarkably and delightfully wonderful.
