Room 209, Friday Evening
So, tomorrow was Picnic Day, which meant all kinds of fresh blood arriving to the island. All kinds. It also meant that it was the ass end of break week, and Sparkle hadn't gone out and done anything exceptionally ridiculous the whole time. He'd even mostly behaved himself on Canada Day. On Canada Day, when he could have been getting drunk and high and lighting small buildings on fire for shits and giggles or something.
Well, tonight, he was going to do something, if he had any say in the matter. He had pulled out like every cosmetic item to his name, and now he was poking through the lot of it, picking out this and that and just generally contemplating what face he was going to present to whatever poor idiot managed to get themselves stuck on the island this time.
"I could go blonde," he mused, pulling out a bottle of hair bleach. "I actually do blonde pretty well."
Tonight was going to be fun.
[Expecting one, but the room is open for anyone who might happen to wander by. Sparkle's got the door cracked open.]

Old Lace had suspected no such thing, but she was at Gert's feet, looking inquisitively through the open doorway at Sparkle.
no subject
Sparkle was waving toward the door, inviting Gert and Old Lace both inside.
no subject
Whatever that meant.
She took a few steps into the room, Old Lace following at her heels. "So, blond, huh?"
no subject
"Thinking about it," he replied with a grin. "You have any feelings about blonde?"

Which could be an interesting look too, granted.

"Umm, hey," she said, looking a little awkward in the doorway. There had been well over a week's worth of internal debate going on over this. "Is the offer to help me learn how to use these still good?"
=I still think this is a stupid idea,= Zeela grumbled.
*Why did I end up voting for this, when I don't even like the guy?* Zhahar asked.
=Cause you're the goody two-shoes that looks for the best in everyone,= Zeela snarked back.
no subject
"Yeah... Yeah, that offer'll keep standing for however long, Girly," he replied, his words a hell of a lot more mellow than usual. Softer. More tentative. "Wouldn't have made 'em for you if I wasn't willing to show you how, right?"

no subject
He was staying put, though. She looked like a scared rabbit there, and he didn't blame her at all for that.
no subject
Sholeh, look at who you were talking to. Did Sparkle look like he cared about what might be considered weird?
She took a tiny step forward. "I like some of the other colors, though. There are a couple of nice pinks and reds."
The orange...well, Sholeh wasn't sure what to make of that one.
no subject
"The green's weird," Sparkle agreed with a little shrug of his shoulders. "Bet I could still make it look good on you, though. Kept it to mostly the normal looking stuff anyhow, because I figured you'd appreciate them more, but when I saw that green... Had to."
no subject
"I don't know much about makeup anyway," Sholeh admitted, tucking a lock of hair behind her ear. "So I'd rather stick with stuff that's normal, yeah. Harder to mess up, you know?"
no subject
"Fair enough, yeah," he allowed, shifting his weight awkwardly on his bed before sighing and gesturing to a chair nearby. "Wanna come in? Leave the door open, it's hot as fuck out there and that keeps the air circulating."
And it meant that she wasn't locked in the room with him, but he wasn't going to out and say that.
"It's easier to do up your face if I don't have to resort to throwing sponges at you and hoping I don't miss, you know."
no subject
But she did have a date coming up. And maybe Evan would like it if she wore makeup? Or something?
She took another tiny step forward, which got her into the room, at least. "I don't want you to feel like you have to, or anything..."
no subject
Had she? Really?
"I can show you what to do with the lipstick, maybe..." He tilted his head at her thoughtfully. "Maybe do something with your eyes. You ever put on eyeshadow? Green is way less weird around your eyes than it is on your lips, I swear."
no subject
Unless they bought enough makeup for the three of them, it was just a fight waiting to happen. The colors that favored Sholeh wouldn't necessarily work for her sisters, after all. The time it took them to agree on a particular scent of soap was already outrageous.
no subject
Yeah. That was totally his story. It had nothing to do with, say, a peace offering...
