Fifth Floor Common Room - Wednesday Evening

[untouchableskin.livejournal.com]

After cheerleading practice, Marie made a trip to the Quik Stop to buy bleach for her hair dying adventures that evening.

She changed into an old cheerleading tee-shirt, grabbed a couple bath towels and her brush and headed to the common room to wait for Mac.

She'd also grabbed a variety of snacks and sodas on her trip to the store for anyone who wanted to stop by and socialize.


[ooc: open to all! Mac will be dying Marie's hair though. ETA: THIS JUST IN! Bel will be singing Kumbaya in this post tonight!]

Mac mad her way up to the fifth floor, a squeezy bottle of bright red dye in hand and several hairties around her wrist. She found Marie already waiting in the common room.

"I come bearing super-bright hair dye. You find everything you need?"

"I think so," Marie gave Mac a nervous grin. "The bleach box said not to wash my hair, so I was hoping that was the same way with the hair dye."

[imac-kenzie.livejournal.com]

"Yep, that sounds right. We need to do the bleaching first anyway." Mac picked up the bottle of bleach taking a quick look at the back.

"First things first, you don't have sensitive skin do you? I used dye once that made my head feel like it was on fire for an hour after. Not recommended."

Marie made a face. "No, I don't think I do," she said.

"Okay, well that's a good thing," Mac picked up a towel from the pile and handed it to Marie. "Put that round your shoulders, and we'll get started then."

"So what made you want to come to Fandom in the first place," Mac asked pulling a pair of plastic gloves from the box with the bleach and snapping them on.

"My parents were looking for a unique educational experience for me for the summer," Marie explained. "We got a brochure from Fandom High and agreed it was the best of the group. They told me I could decide if I wanted to stay here for regular school in the fall."

She bit her lip and tried not to be too nervous.

"What about you?"

[imac-kenzie.livejournal.com]

Mac chuckled, and set about combing out strands to apply the bleach to. "Unique, well that's the understatement of the year. I'm guessing it worked out that you liked it considering you're still here though."

"I just really needed a change. Neptune, where I transferred from was... turbulent at best. Not that it isn't pretty crazy here, but not in the same way."

"I do like it here. I've met some really great people," Marie said. "Well, at least the ones I haven't tried dating are great."

Bel wandered into the common room. Crankily.

Great. Why did there have to be people here?

[imac-kenzie.livejournal.com]

Mac smirked, "Uh oh, I sense some bad date anecdotes have come out of the summer." She started to paint the bleach onto chunky sections of Marie's hair. "There's a reason I don't date."

As he had found food here earlier, Zuko decided to see if he would find some more now.

[untouchableskin.livejournal.com]

"Well, my very first date ever I found out the boy also had a boyfriend," Marie said.

[imac-kenzie.livejournal.com]

Mac stopped painting the bleach onto Marie's hair and looked up at Bel when he entered. She gave him a hestitant smile in the hope that maybe he's stop glaring at them.

[untouchableskin.livejournal.com]

"Hi, Bel!" Marie waved from the chair where Mac was dying her hair.

[untouchableskin.livejournal.com]

Marie smiled at the new boy. "Hi," she greeted.

[thebluespirit.livejournal.com]

Zuko couldn't see any chicken food (what kind of weird world didn't have pigchickens anyway). "Hi," he repeated the greeting.

[imac-kenzie.livejournal.com]

Mac's eyes widened, "Seriously? I thought maybe he'd just spilled his drink on you or something. I'm surprised that didn't put you off the boys here for life."

"My last date was probably when I got married to this boy in my pre-school class. It didn't last."

[thebluespirit.livejournal.com]

Zuko was more than happy to ignore most people in the room. When one of the girls said 'Bel' however, his attention shifted.

"Are you Belthazor?" he demanded to know, already heading for a great first impression.

[untouchableskin.livejournal.com]

"I'm Marie," she introduced herself. "Are you new or have I just not met you yet?"

Peter wandered into the Common Room and looked curiously at the hair situation. "Are you cutting your hair?"

[thebluespirit.livejournal.com]

"New," he was saying that a lot lately. "I'm Zuko."

"I dumped his banana split on his head," Marie confessed.

"And that wasn't even as bad as my last date," she continued. "He was mean and nasty and apparently it wasn't really him, it was some evil version of him, but I really liked him."

[untouchableskin.livejournal.com]

"Hey, Peter," Marie said. "No, Mac's dying mine like hers," she said.

[untouchableskin.livejournal.com]

"Nice to meet you," Marie said, taking in his appearance and trying not to let her eyes linger on his scar. "There's some snacks and sodas on the table if you're interested."

Demyx happily wandered his way into the common room, still in his cheerleading gear from earlier. "Hi, Fifth floor people!" he called cheerfully, flopping down on the couch.
