Quest 285

[Accidental Video Post]

[When the video first snaps on, it's accompanied by a brief glimpse of what appears to be white fur; for those more familiar with Rosella's living arrangements, they might recognize the culprit in question as Snowdrop, her cat, who is apparently feeling somewhat adventurous today.

Rosella, for her part, seems to have no idea what her cat is up to, or that she's currently on camera; at the moment, she's standing in front of the mirror in her bedroom, gazing intently into it as though looking for something. Rather than being pulled back in her usual braids, her long blonde hair is down today, and she's standing with a lock of it caught in one hand, absently twisting it around her fingers as she looks at whatever it is that's keeping her enthralled at the moment.

Then, after a few tilts of her head and tugs of her hair, the answer becomes apparent:]

...Well, at least it washed out, just like the last time...

[She frowns, pausing a minute to regard herself in the mirror, and then resumes fussing--and shortly thereafter, the video switches itself off with a click.]


[OOC: So yes, Rosella was cursed yesterday but my schedule tied me up from posting about it, and to hear her talk, it was the most awful day ever--except that she really just spent it as a brunette. What can she say, she's a little vain and likes being blonde. If you want to say you spotted her out and about yesterday, feel free! She'll just be a little miffed if the hair color topic arises. :D]

And I, for one, am quite glad that it did.

Hello, Rosella.

[primrosella.livejournal.com]

[Aaaaack. Unexpected audience in her preening time!]

Oh! Er...oh, hello, Cain. Drat it all, was that on?

[misterblackbird.livejournal.com]

I'm afraid it was.

At least you weren't caught 'whinging' as I apparently was yesterday.

[primrosella.livejournal.com]

'Whinging'? Mm, whatever that is, it certainly doesn't sound pleasant. And no, I'm just...looking. Er, to make sure it all got out, that is.

[misterblackbird.livejournal.com]

It looks to me as though it did, fortunately.

[primrosella.livejournal.com]

And thank goodness for that. Really, that was simply dreadful yesterday. Honestly, I think I'd almost rather the purple I had the last time it came around.

[misterblackbird.livejournal.com]

No, I don't think you would. I had purple hair myself yesterday.

[primrosella.livejournal.com]

I think I heard something about that, actually. Did Riff manage to come to your aid, then?

[misterblackbird.livejournal.com]

He did, but there wasn't much of anything he could do. I'm sure you noticed the same problem.

[primrosella.livejournal.com]

Well, at least I could pin mine back and...well, try not to think about it. I'd imagine you didn't quite have that ability, yourself.


[OOC: Yeah, mine too. :| ]

[misterblackbird.livejournal.com]

Not quite so much, no.

Though one helpful person on the Network suggested that I try wearing a bonnet to cover it up. I thanked him for his suggestion, but did not try it.

[primrosella.livejournal.com]

No, I don't think a bonnet would've worked very well at all. One of the helmets from Sam's Vespa might've done, though--you know, the one I was wearing the day when everyone was, er, feeling rather inclined to, um...

[misterblackbird.livejournal.com]

Yes, I do recall the one you were wearing that day.

It certainly would have worked, but I think I would have had the same trouble you did: I wouldn't have been able to hear or be heard. I might have had to speak by Network even to people I was standing next to. And that would get tiresome, I think.

[primrosella.livejournal.com]

Yes, I'm afraid that is one of the drawbacks of armor and helmets and things like that. Still, sometimes even a poor solution is better than no solution at all.

[misterblackbird.livejournal.com]

I'm not entirely sure of that.

Anyway, my solution was just to keep indoors all day, as I do entirely too often.

[primrosella.livejournal.com]

It is when you're trapped in a whale's stomach, at least.

Oh, dear. Again? Well, you'll just have to spend a day out and about, then, to make up for it.

[misterblackbird.livejournal.com]

I would think any solution would be a good solution in that situation.

Yes, I suppose I will.

[wandbreaker]

You know, some of us like dark hair.

[primrosella.livejournal.com]

And it looks very nice on you, too, which is all the more reason why you ought to keep it.

[wandbreaker]

You didn't look bad, you know.

[primrosella.livejournal.com]

I looked terrible! Honestly, it was the color of dirt.

[wandbreaker]

Oh, so you're only slightly over-exaggerating.

[primrosella.livejournal.com]

It looked terrible.

[wandbreaker]

It didn't.

[primrosella.livejournal.com]

...But brown, really?

[Conviction versus cute guy pandering to her vanity. Vanity is winning.]

[wandbreaker]

It was different, but it was nice, too. It certainly wasn't hideous.

[primrosella.livejournal.com]

...Well, Mother's hair is brown and about that shade, but...but, er, I really don't think it's the sort of thing that suits me at all.

But I, er, suppose it's nice to know that someone liked it, anyway.

[wandbreaker]

I liked it.

You do look lovely as a blonde as well.

[primrosella.livejournal.com]

But the blonde is better, isn't it? Of the two, that is.

[wandbreaker]

It's the most that looks like you, but then I'm accustomed to it.

[primrosella.livejournal.com]

It was purple once, you know. That's one color I don't think anyone could be much accustomed to.

[wandbreaker]

I think red would look good, though.

[primrosella.livejournal.com]

Red? Really? Like an apple, you mean?

[wandbreaker]

No, a real, proper red.

[primrosella.livejournal.com]

I'm not sure if I can even imagine that, really. It'd be quite a bit of red.

[wandbreaker]

Maybe next time this curse comes about we'll find out.

[primrosella.livejournal.com]

Well, I've had blonde, brown, and purple. I suppose red might well be the next most likely choice, wouldn't it?

[wandbreaker]

I suppose it would.
