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.]

And lo, a voice from the doorway. "Is that the smell of someone contemplating a dye job?" Gert wondered. "Good catch, Old Lace. I think it is."

Old Lace had suspected no such thing, but she was at Gert's feet, looking inquisitively through the open doorway at Sparkle.

"I'd tell you, but then she'd have to maul you," Gert tsked. "Good dino tamers never reveal their secrets."

Whatever that meant.

She took a few steps into the room, Old Lace following at her heels. "So, blond, huh?"

"Did it once," she offered. "And then another time. And helped Jess do it, too." So, yes. "You could pull it off."

"Raccoon-face could be useful," she offered. Though it took her a moment to think of what for. "Camouflage."

"Well, we're definitely going to get a slew of blond raccoons in time for the picnic tomorrow," Gert concluded as though it was final, clapping her hands once. "You get the credit or blame for that, whatever you want to call it."

"Nothing I can't take great pleasure out of deliberately avoiding," Gert said, taking a seat on the other bed. "'Specially if I can keep however much is left in the bottle after we're done."

Gert shook her head. "I'm good with purple for now," she said. "It's a reminder of home, kind of. In the not-sucky way. I'll just take an IOU."

Sholeh timidly knocked on Sparkle's door, a container of lipstick (http://3girls-1core.livejournal.com/888.html?thread=60280#t60280) clutched in her hands.

"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.

"I'm pretty impressed that you made them at all," Sholeh said, still standing in the doorway for reasons. 'Possibly might still bolt' reasons. "Do you make all your own makeup?"

"Green lipstick?" Sholeh asked. "Isn't that kinda weird?"

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.

Sparkle's people were completely weird, then.

"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?"

"You want to do up my face?" Sholeh asked. "I mean, I wasn't trying to make you or anything like that. I just wanted to say thank you, mostly."

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..."

"I don't have anything like that, no," Sholeh said, shaking her head. "I probably should get some, but I just haven't."

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.
