Sent to everyone who isn't also a daimyo

Fellow Shinobi,

I have a request of you, particularly those of you with long hair. What methods do you prefer to employ to tame it on difficult missions, where hair loss is both a significant possibility and a likely method of tracking or detection should stray hairs be lost?

In my opinion, hair is simply another tool. If it is lost, then it will be replaced. I see no way for it to be improperly taken care of. Wash, dry, brush, and braid out of the way. It's taken care of.

[problemdaimyo]

It seems that your hair is far more resilient than mine, to so easily be roughly handled.

[incubi_abel]

[Abel rolled his eyes. Right, time to ignore the tact he had.]

Or someone's been living as a civilian for too long.

Play the is he serious or sassing you game

[problemdaimyo]

Anyone who keeps tools in their hair has long from stayed as a civilian too long

*laughs*

[incubi_abel]

If you wish to be so concerned about your hair, hang up your hitae-ate and join the civilian life.

[problemdaimyo]

Such a country you live in, where a decision to be civilian or shinobi is a simple and easy choice!

[incubi_abel]

It should be a simple matter of going to your shinobi leader and informing them that you are retiring as a shinobi for reasons. They might even be polite enough to not say anything if you state you will be available for emergency missions.

[problemdaimyo]

Ah, yes. Unfortunately, it's not so easy a process to choose between the two here. Balancing the two is, in this case, the only option. [...because he'd like to become a shinobi, not retire from being one.]
