your burdens in the same breath that you put yourself down for them.

[A short laugh]

You can stop me if I’m getting too therapist-y on you, also.

if you look around you, you’ll find more folks on bikes than you’d expect.

[She massages the cleanser into her skin, and it forms a gentle foam as she works. Bubbles pop softly in the spaces between their conversation.]

I hope I’m making sense. I’ve… kinda noticed that you tend to acknowledge +

And yet—

[Greta taps Gudako’s forehead gently to get her to close her eyes, and starts applying the facial cleanser with the gentle tips of her fingers.]

—you’re still pedaling along. Maybe some of us are in stock cars zipping by. But some of us are walking on foot, and I’m willing to bet that+

you just swallow them like pills and don’t have to taste them.
June 25, 2025 at 10:07 PM
Yeah, I love a squeaky clean space but there’s something even better about making it your own. I had to paint my workshop as soon as I got the supplies to, it was just too sterile for my taste.

[She laughs]

Aw, I gotcha. Well if you need me to make you some capsules with it, I can. That way +

ingredient is actually hot peppers— hence the name.

That’s a great idea! Yeah, when I first got this place I had to make it smell less like antiseptic, y’know?

As for the painkiller it’s sort of an ingestible tonic. So you can dilute it in a bit of club soda to drink, or apply a small amount directly to your skin for aches and pains. The base+

externally or internally though.

The flowers are great for tea! That’s how it’s usually made, though you do still get a nice fragrance off of them so some people like to put them in potpourri or simmer pots.

And Hot Stuff for Man or Beast is mostly used as a painkiller. But also sometimes a sleep aid. It can be used +

that few people would continue to carry. At the same time, I won’t act like the weight of that wouldn’t take its toll, over time. That’s why I think it’s important to let folks help shoulder the burden when possible.
June 24, 2025 at 6:59 PM
you, hun. That’s not a dig at you, at all, either. I mean, you’ve done phenomenally, all things considered. But I get it, sort of…

[She fills a bowl full of warm water and returns to her side, gently scooping Gudako’s fiery hair up into a towel to keep it out of the way]

You were handed a mantle+

[Once Gudako’s settled, Greta pushes the chair into the reclining position and sets about getting the products ready. She pulls a few bottles off of her shelves: a gentle cleanser, a witch hazel toner, and the mask itself.]

I don’t think anyone’s strong enough for the things the world has asked of+

a matter of capability on your part, and more a matter of the nail polish simply not being strong enough for your lifestyle. Something like painting your nails is meant to bring a little color and joy into your daily routine, and it isn’t your fault that the average varnish isn’t durable enough.
June 24, 2025 at 2:50 PM
[Greta offers a slight shrug, not critical of Gudako’s assertion, but not entirely in agreement with it either]

Chipped nail polish is hardly a sin, in my opinion, but I can understand not wanting to ruin a manicure. Although…

I’d argue that it’s not+

But today we focus on the fun stuff. Here, make yourself comfy!

Cute nails are fun! I’m no manicurist, but I miiight have an bottle or two of polish lying around… if you’re +
June 23, 2025 at 10:06 PM
I guess they do! Though I think sometimes it’s easy to forget that self care isn’t all just skincare. Sometimes it’s the stuff we don’t want to do, like tidying workspaces and tracking your finances.

I hope so! That topic sounds interesting. The destructive nature between spirits and humanity, huh?
