Subject: You won't forget us and jet off to Hollywood, will you?

Thomas,

Business has been booming since you've put yourself on this show, and it's only going to get better! You already have a huge waiting list of new appointments for when you get back. In fact, there's so much interest in us now that Allison had the genius idea of opening the Coiffure Cup for Real World Bites night, where we let customers come in, have coffee, and watch your show! We even managed to get your friend Harry to come join us. He's an absolute sweetheart, you know, all awkward and angry and butch, but I think your antics are getting to him.

Speaking of, we need to have a talk about Harry. We know the producers of your show are probably not comfortable with someone as telegenic as you being... well, the way you are, and they're encouraging you to go after the lovely ladies (by the way, the entire shop just adores Claudia. Can you talk her into visiting one day?). But really Thomas, you should have a care for Harry. We're trying to convince him that  you still care about him, that you're just acting for the sake of the show, but really, you're getting just a tad too convincing for him. He's convinced you slept with that girl Lacrimosa, and that poor little thing Drusilla. In fact, seeing you with Drusilla gave him an absolute FIT, muttering about how it was the same with you and someone named Justin. You should have a care for him, Thomas, and not let acting a part get in the way of what you have at home.

But I guess this is the part where you tell Mad to mind her own business, isn't it? Well fine. It'll be on your head if you lose him. If you're interested, we've got a nice Real World Bites inspired soundtrack/playlist that we're playing in the Coiffure Cup. Yes, yes we're shamelessly exploiting you, but you agreed to go on this show to begin with for the business! It's all inspired by the people we've seen, and I've sent you a copy.

We do hope you enjoy it, Thomas. Also, Tara says Edward and Jean-Claude are more your type, so you should look into them instead of pretending like you're going to break all these girls' hearts.

Write back soon, k?

Hidden Objects

Thomas' half of the bedroom can be diplomatically described as a pigsty. It could accurately be described as the aftermath of a battlefield. Clothes piled on every conceivable surface as if they'd dragged themselves from the horror that was The Dresser and laid themselves down to die whenever their strength left them.

There were only three things Thomas knew the exact location of in his room.

1) The knife within arm's reach of his bed.
2) The five bottles of beer, Mac's best, hidden in the back of his drawers.
3) The single piece of cream parchment tucked into a non-descript envelope, piled under the pseudo-mess of his dresser top.

( And it was only the last one he would kill to keep hidden. )

[[For game purposes, no one knows of this, at least not yet]]
