42nd treasure [text]

Quick poll. Which do you consider cuter on a beautiful young maiden:

- hearts, or flowers?
- stars, or moons?
- rhinestones, or beads?
- ribbons, or hairclips?

Also, does anyone know if glitter glue is dangerous? She really wants to wear it, but she keeps trying to lick it.

- Flowers: They come in a variety of shapes and colors, with meanings if you want to be sentimental.

- Stars: A multitude of them look more natural than a pattern of moons. If they shine or glitter, they also have a very stunning effect.

- Rhinestones: This is a personal preference over anything, and depends on the young maiden in question. Those with a more childish or easygoing air pull off beads nicely.

- Hairclips: Ribbons tend to look nice on girls with long hair. Hairclips can be for anyone.

As for glue, I'm pretty sure it should say on the bottle if it should be ingested or not. I'd say it should be kept away, however.

A very thorough answer! I'm starting to feel bad for the moons, though. No one prefers the moons.
It's non-toxic, but I'm worried about other issues like allergies. Still, it's not like I have much else to draw the flowers/stars with. Edible paint would just encourage her.

A moon goes better as a focal point, in my experience.

What kind of Pokemon is she? Maybe we can figure out some alternatives.

She's a Bouffalant, which means two horns and four hooves. That leaves no good spot for a focal point, but also enough hair for plenty of ribbons or clips.

[Give her a second to look up the exact look...]

What about decorating the horns too?

Stars and flowers drawn in glitter glue, centered around rhinestones. The people have spoken, and their choices have been heard.

Here's an idea for next time: pick ribbons to wrap around her horns. Add some sort of moon pin by one of the horns, in her hair. Put star hairpins in the rest of it.

...Identical star hairpins, or should I aim for different sizes and colors to better represent the night sky?

What would she prefer?

She's swooning and giggling. That might mean 'both'.
That probably means 'both'.

One side with different sizes, the other more uniform?

That, or switching every day, placing ordered stars near the head and adding some variety as the hair spreads out. Our imagination's the only limit, really.

It sounds like fun as well, honestly.

The whole thing's fun, really. I hadn't that much time caring about anyone's look in years.

Well, now's clearly the time to sharpen your skills. Maybe they sell books about this kind of thing.

'How To Win Beauty Contests With Ten Accessories And Some Creativity'? I'm sure it would sell well. Especially if it covers every species out there.

If worst comes to worst, then you could always pick up one of those Furfrou books and improvise.

Finally, an excuse to buy one of those! My Furfrou whimpers every time I take out a brush or a nail clipper, so my life has been greatly lacking in amusing trims.

Oh no. How sad for the poor thing. Maybe it's the feel of the brush that bothers them?

I think it's because he feels them just enough not to be able to fall asleep. That's an unforgivable annoyance.

Ruining naps are an unforgivable offense, are they?

Even if it's for lunch or dinner. He'd sleep himself to starvation, if I let him.

There's nothing wrong with him, right? Missing food seems like it could get serious.

No, he's not quite that bad. When he's awake, he eats normal-sized meals. But he's not very good at waking up by himself, and I don't think he wants to improve that.

I guess there's just no reward better than sleep, huh?
