So,,, would any of the ladies ever consider helping someone cut their hair/would they actually be decent at it? (I desperately need my undercut trimmed and hair dressers are expensive just for a shave and I'm a cheapskate so imma try and probably fail miserably to do it myself while asking you about the l a d i e s ❤️❤️❤️)
Ooo, this one’s actually all up in Crimson’s wheelhouse!
She’s got a total knack for hair cuts & styling of all kinds. Some of the other ladies would be reliable enough to do the job, especially straightforward upkeep with a little practice, but it’s Crimson all the way who just kills the game here.
You’d pose this question, and all the girls would just... as one, look towards Crimson. She’d roll her eyes but grin ‘n nod, then beckon you to follow after her - she’d set you up in the kitchen or, if it was a nice day, on the porch perhaps, and within a few minutes she’d be cleaning up your undercut. Only... you notice when she’s done that it is the best fade you’ve ever gotten. Not a spare loose long strand left behind, the cleanest lines, and the neckline is, frankly, almost scarily well faded.
In the end, it’s revealed that she had a mild hobby of giving the dog Guards in Snowdin haircuts when they were bored and wanted a new badass look - often with spirally designs in their fur. More than happy to slack on the job, she learned how to work with the clippers extremely well, and started a side hustle with it. She ended up learning how to cut hair too, for the monsters that had it, and now is just... super skilled with it, and could easily be the type of stylist that people would willingly pay hundreds of dollars to style/cut/color their hair, if she felt like pursuing it on a business front. XD
Pfff, alright, I’ll bite ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°) weird anti-talents for the ladies:
Serif: cannot do any sport/activity that involves hitting a ball with a bat of some kind. She always misses. It’s lucky she’s not inclined towards that sort of thing, but even something like laidback badminton she just whiffs.
Vellum: weirdly specific, but as athletic as she is, cannot reliably move while bouncing a basketball. Specifically a basketball, but she struggles with walking and bouncing other balls too?? It drives her crazy, she vacillates between aggressively attempting to learn (and failing terribly) and avoiding any weird activities that would include doing those things at the same time.
Sapphire: abysmal at imitations. Literally cannot do it for the life of her, but it’s to the point where you wanna cry from laughing so hard she’s that bad. But she genuinely attempts it, and just... can’t. (note for Parks n Rec fans: remember Amy Poehler doing imitations literally ever? How hilariously bad they were? Like that. >v>)
Amber: Has a great sense of innate direction, but for the life of her, cannot tell her left from her right. I hesitate to include this on a talent list, but it felt appropriate. You just... will not catch her ever using left/right. She literally puts a duck on one side of the car she drives so her sister can tell her ‘turn duckward’ if needing to read out directions.
Crimson: Cannot at all draw - drunken two year old indeed. XD It drives her up a wall sometimes because she can actually draw super-accurate machine diagrams and the like, blueprints and so on - but creative art depictions? Nope, it’s sloppy stick figure o’clock with her.
Scarlet: the blackest of thumbs. She tries, and even has excellent taste in flowers, but unless they’re cut and in a vase, she cannot keep them alive. It bothers her X)
Pepper: is extremely, extremely bad at acting. Or, perhaps, phrasing it nicely, is only good at extreme overacting. There’s an irony to this, as she’s great at putting up a front; that’s just a lifeskill in her mind. But when it comes to... theater type acting? Somehow it just falls away. She’d be like.... Zuka club levels of overacting. One mode: Extreme. No subtlety; could only ever be the character purposely meant to overact. It is wild and, probably, slightly destructive to the surroundings because she tries her hardest and gets to into it anyways.
Cinnamon: can’t memorize anything of length/rote detail unless she puts a tune to it. Think how you teach the alphabet song to kids, and so on - whether it was math theorems, directions, anything that would recall specific detailed recall like that... she’s secretly had to make a song to it.
Blade: mental math. This one’s tinged in a lot of sadness, though;;; it comes from her head injury. Even mildly complicated math just slips between her digits like sand; she’s still got a knack for estimation and being able to look at something and know it’s right or it’s off, but it’s almost ‘muscle memory’, so to speak. It frustrates her.
Twist:... is blind, so there’s definitely an unfair disadvantage in some things, but! in general, is just the worst at remembering names, even prior to the famine. She’ll remember meeting people just fine, can even place the context of this person or their voice, but... wow, yup, goodbye name, nice not knowing you. She resorts to personally made nicknames a lot because of this.
Alpha: is an AI?? so... an unfair advantage, as she can just... learn anything she wants to, immediately? XD But if there had to be something, it’d probably be keeping things neat. She’s not a total slob, but there’s definitely a lot of chaos to her organized chaos.
Glyph: is a pretty damn well-rounded individual, so this one’s hard - she may not be a master of everything, but she’s definitely a jack of all trades type... the one exception is probably how terrible she is with pop culture, especially movies. And this is an ongoing thing - she travels so much she just... misses out on things, and never quite has the drive to keep up regardless. It’s not that she hates movies, they’re just fine she figures - albeit low on her list of priorities. It takes other people dragging her into the know to get em, and even then, she’s liable to forget. Godspeed with deep cut movie references around her. =v=b
