Welcome to Gaia! ::

It wasn't hard to see that the girl he had been paired with was a ghost, which he felt was rather unfair. If she felt like it, she could have phased out and ruined all his work, not that he wanted to work with make-up. This wasn't a matter of just doing the work. It was a matter that came down to the fact that his father had insisted that he better his appearance not to be more frightening, but to look more pleasing to humans. Looking at Mai, she looked both haunting and gorgeous. She probably had no problem with using these kids, but he wanted nothing to do with it. In fact, seeing make-up made him want to grab some dirt and rub it into his hair in rebellion to being dolled up.

Still, he had an assignment and he decided to get it done and over with. He just hoped this was the only thing they did in this class since he wanted to learn to look scarier. "If you can, just mess me up. I want to look as bad and horrible as I can." He looked at Mai, his partner, and slowly picked up his kit and set it on his knees.

With so much hair and bright, white skin, he decided to try something. Taking the Spirit Gum, and gestured that he would be starting. "I'll try my best. Sorry if I …don't do too well." It was a disclaimer before he began, and he moved in, wondering if she would phase out or not. As a monster, he felt strange around a ghost.

Taking the gum, he worked it against her smooth, clear face, and instead of welts and boils, he made it smooth, working to make her eyes look smaller, and pressed against he corners to make them elongated and wide at the center. The nose he worked to be rounded, and gave her more of a muzzle than the smooth, flat face of a normal person. Pulling back, he grabbed some more of the sticky paste and found her ears, made them long, and cupped.

Setting the gum aside, he took a sponge and dipped into the foundation, working to brush on her face a light tanish-gray, and worked around her face and cheeked before moving to a dark brown. Here he patted the sponge to frame her face, and then around her ears, going back to add a pinkish tone to the insides of her ears. He reached down to take a pencil to flick some of the spirit gum and some darker pigments out to harden the gum and to add some darker effects, thus making fine little hairs from the gum that stuck out from her ears and also worked the gum with scratchy flicks to make the gum around her face look like soft, fine hairs.

Setting those asides, he frowned as he noticed a pen was stuck to his fingers. "Great." He pouted, taking a moment to step on the pencil against the chair and yank the pen free of the gum on his fingers, but now two of his fingers where stuck together. Welp, that would really make things harder.

Seeing as he should do the contacts as soon as he could, he selected a pair that greatly pleased him, and reached over, holding the girl's chin up, and placed them as easily and quickly as he could. "Sorry if that hurt." They fit in nicely, and widened her eyes to be large, with a deep yellow and filled-in figure eights in their center. In essence, a goat's eye.

Smiling, he reached back to brush on a little bit of pink on her nose, giving it a faint pink touch.

Glad for it, he looked to her hair, and reached down to grab a can of quick-set hair dye, which he shook before spraying. Not wasting time, he used one hand to work one side of her long hair to curl around into a horn, moving the hair to curl out and point in, but leaving the girl to have some bangs, to which he made shaggier and more choppy. He did the same for the other side, creating another horn, and shaggy hair. Then, with some help from the hair dye, he made the horns black and the hair brown. He worked a hairbrush to work the hair as he wanted, and used some hair spray to cement them in place. Perfect.

Closing the kit, he used his scarf to start wiping some of the spirit gum from his fingers. "You can look now." He said, gesturing to the mirror. Mai had went from a pale, bluish ghost girl to that of a warm-colored, shaggy faun, complete with large, goat-like ears, eyes, and the rounded nose with the flared nostrils of such a creature, and dark, chocolate hair.

Waiting to see if she approved or at least got what he was trying to attempt, he looked around and grinned wide at someone's rendition of a unicorn. It was bright, with shimmering colors and a lovely horn. WHY DIDN'T HE THINK OF THAT?!

Smiling, he suddenly looked down at the kit and then had a sudden idea. Thinking, he raised his hand.

"This kit can make you look like anything if you have the skills and imagination, right? How long does this stuff usually last before it wears off?

Professor Tailor paused at Calder's question, twisting to look over his work, both eyebrows raised over his glasses. There might have been something teasing to his voice and his expression but -- hard to tell. "Well. I guess that depends on how well you apply it. It's usually wise to wash it off after a few hours, or it can stain. But sometimes it'll stick quicker than that..."

Davinica twitched slightly at the vanity, eyes roving from its contents to Professor Tailor and back again. Well, it didn't look too difficult when he did it...kind of like fingerpainting. Except it was probably frowned upon, as a ghoul, to think of makeup as fingerpaint. Since fingerpaints tended to be messy, sloppy, and the exact opposite of what makeup was supposed to do. Hmm.

"Yeah, I can go first." The loup reached into the box, twirling a pencil as she pondered just what the jack to do to the other canine's face. Nothing too bad, obviously: it was true, she did have kinda-kin privilege. "You sure?" But of course, it was too late, as Davi didn't wait for an answer. Squaring herself in her seat, the monster dug right in.

Shekh needed something...oh. Oh! The idea took shape in the wolf girl's head with a...well, wolfish grin and a few gentle strokes of pencil as Davi sketched her thoughts. Satisfied with the design, she dove into a jar of Spirit Gum - which stung her claws a little, and behaved a bit more when she bared teeth at it.

After the slightly-surly Gum came the Foundation, with some apologetic looks at Shehk for the smell. Davinica applied the tawny-brown color with relish, looking just a little too excited at the outcome.

Pigment next! to give her creation depth and form. "You face looks like it's gonna leap right off your face," the garou offered, smirking. But not literally; at least, Professor Tailor hadn't mentioned that.

The Contacts Davi chose looked a little more desu than anything properly frightening, and she held the sweetly golden things up on her clawtips and shuddered a little. Too cute. Getting them into Shekh's eyes was a bit of a different story, however, and Davi almost shut her own halfway through the process.

And before she pulled out the Hairdye, she rummaged busily in their vanity until she came up, triumphant, with a good haircurdler - it was already hot and everything! Davi gloved up and applied the dye to Shekh's newly-curdled front locks with a beaming grin, staining it the same tawny-brown as the foundation. Her tail wagged gleefully as she fetched a mirror for the Pricolici.

Her smile quieted into a smirk, but grew no less exuberant. "You look delicious, coach. See?" Was Davinica teasing? Probably. And it probably had a lot to do with the fact that she'd transformed Shekh's face into an impish, rosy-tan squirrel's - complete with a floofy, dyed tail in the center of her forehead.

Shehk did her best to sit still as she was made-up, ears drooping as the process went by and she wasn't allowed to see her face. Ohhh snaps. Though the look on her face when she did see it, looking.. somewhat surprised, actually.

Huuuuhhh.. that was indeed delicious looking, given the Pricolici's appetites. There was something strange about seeing various parts of the squirrel-shape move when she twitched her nose and mouth though. But after a moment, she puffed her chest up, seemingly pleased with the..abstract result, before turning on her partner.

"Alright, your turn then. I hope this stuff will be nice to your fur. I'd hate to see it get ruined." she said sadly, ears drooping just a bit. But following that, she went about, carefully, sketching in a few vague shapes on Davi's face. Place holders, perhaps. It was a good thing this wasn't going to require that much..err.. artistic ability. She hoped. Shehk really wasn't an artist. It was fortunate when she got a stick figure to look like a particular person.

Either way, she went about carefully messing with the spirit gum, at least as best as she could fuss with it, to try and give the lupine girl a less padded nose and a slightly more defined face. Did she have something in mind? Sort of.

Shehk hadn't even had the gall to try the contacts initially, putting them off for last with an anxious look, before she went about smoothing a somewhat pale tone into the ghoul's fur. There was a part of Shehk that shuddered at the idea of messing up such -nice- fur. She had to hope it would wash out each enough.

It took some care to make sure that between the pigments and the foundation she got everything at least -some- shade of correct looking, pausing when she looked at the long hair, and then the quick hair-dye. Fortunately, the color she needed would just be 'white'.

..... Well, as much as something transparent -could- have colors.

Ultimately, the contacts, pure white as well, though she could have wished there were more 'glowing' things in there as well.... but at least with less 'claws that don't resheath' to her fingers, there was a significant lack of eye-stabbing between the pair.

Fortunately.

Either way, once Shehk was content, she moved from blocking the mirror.

"Ta-da! You're supposed to be the school nurse... I almost think you look prettier than her though..." she pointed out, ears flicking downwards a bit. Hopefully Cricket hadn't heard that.

"Again -- depends on how well you did at your job." He flashed Calder another grin, settling next to him and flicking a look from Remi's work and then up to Mai's face as well. Oh yes. He looked more amused than anything else. "If you have natural shape-shifting abilities, you might even be able to combine them with these goodies. If you want to talk about it sometime, come by my office."

Then he stepped away, though, sweeping a long enough look around the room to make sure that everyone had been made up, that Remi didn't have to step in for anyone else. He nodded, pleased, and pointed to the kits. "At the bottom, there should be a camera, should you want to remember this moment -- and beneath that, some cleanser and towels. You probably want to get that stuff off before it sticks."

His tone was entirely too jovial. He slid back to perch on the corner of his desk and watch as they worked. Glasses low on his nose and just a hint of grey eyes poking out over the top.

He was laughing at them.

Because it did stick.

Not all of it, of course. Chuppi, at least, had done an amazing job; Ith's face wiped clean entirely, by some miracle, and Professor T left Chuppi a note that she could leave him a message and he'd get his hands on one custom colored school supply for her as soon as he could.

Everyone else, however, would find some of their makeup impossible to get off.

On Calder the Spirit Gum had stuck: face spikes, scales, and long, pointed ears wouldn't go away. There was a reason Remi had failed this class.

Chuppi found that the contacts had dissolved into her eyes, leaving them solid black.

Poor Daisuke's hair was stuck in that mohawk, and would not come down.

More spirit gum had stuck for Davi: she looked into the mirror and saw that padded nose and more-defined features still there.

G's fin was dyed red, and no amount of scrubbing helped.

Lizzy had pigment sticking to her eyelids, brown and black, and her lips were still blue-grey.

Poor Lucien still had sharply swipes of piment across his cheeks.

Jack-B had been stuck worse than most, foundation and hairdye sticking, leaving his skin grey and green blotched, his hair grey.

Mai was still muzzle-face with pointy, cupped ears.

The pigment had stained Morrigan lips and eyelids to bright shades.

Nuk's skin was decisively, incurably deep purple.

Rain had pigment stuck as well, light pink cheeks and dark blue lips.

Not too bad for Shekh, the pigment just defining and exaggerating her features.

Sin's skin had gone peach-colored, almost...human.

And oh, Tybalt, was stuck with those cheerfully pink, star-touched eyes.

They were still snots. Did they expect it to be that easy?

Professor Tailor hummed. "Better than last year, actually."

((You heard it! This stuff is STUCK! It will go away eventually, but whatever your next RP is -- you must RP your character as...disfigured. But at least you don't have homework, right? Feel free to react in thread, here, and next class will hopefully start up soon! XD))
