Fifth Floor Common Room, Wednesday Evening

[intraspective]

Ino had everything she need to dye A.J.'s hair neatly laid out by the sinks. Even the bleach. He so deserved this, and wasn't she nice for picking out such a pretty shade when it could've been much, much worse?

"Got introduced to you by a friend," she sang, and tried not to dance too much, "you were cute and all that, baby you set the trend." Man, she was never going to be able to get this song out of her head.

[Ino's waiting for by137, yes yes. But it's also totally open!]

After work, A.J. had spared a small moment to go to his room, look in the mirror and give an oh-so-tearful goodbye to his current hair color. "Good bye, my friend," he had told it, "you've been a good hair color. You withstood the test of many paints and bad hair cuts and hanging out in my eyes, but, unfortunately, neither of us can withstand the wrath of a woman scorned. Adieu, nice rich chestnut brown. How I shall miss you."

And then he bucked up and headed upstairs, giving Ino and her setup a little pout as he came into the common room. "Are you sure you really want to do this, Ino?"

[intraspective]

She grinned and did a little twirl, "Isn't it obvious?" Ino lightly tossed the dye at him. "It won't be that bad, come on. And it's no more than you deserve."

After all, she'd gone blue. He could go green.

"Oooh," A.J. really couldn't help laughing as he looked at the box. "'Enchanted Forest.'" He lightly tossed the box back. "I'll be like a little leprechaun."

[intraspective]

"See? I'm even being nice," she told him, catching it easily, "I could've picked a way uglier colour." Pause. "What's a leprechaun?"

"Little guys who wear green and put treasures at ends of rainbows and shit," A.J. said. "And they talk in really bad Irish accents, lassie," he added, in, of course, a really bad Irish accent. "Just wait until Saint Patrick's Day rolls around in March; I wouldn't be too surprised if we actually get little leprechauns running about."

[intraspective]

"Man, this place has the weirdest ideas, I swear," she shook her head, amused, "Is it an important holiday?"

[by137.livejournal.com]

"Not really," A.J. said, looking around to grab a chair and have a seat because, really, he was ready to just get this over with. "It's an Irish holiday that's picked up here in the States because it's a great excuse to just go out and get drunk."

[intraspective]

Ino wrinkled her nose slightly. "Don't think I'd care that much for it then. I don't like the idea of losing control of myself." Pause. "That way." She felt it had to be clarified.

She grinned and fetched him a towel. Ino didn't want to get the bleach, or the dye, anywhere it wasn't supposed to go.

"Do you think," she asked, "the school would have it on a list of holiday's for the incoming students? If there actually was a list, I mean."

[by137.livejournal.com]

A.J. quirked an eyebrow, but, somehow, he was doubting she meant what he was thinking she might have meant. And if she was? Damn that Kabuto...

"I actually think," he said, realizing that focusing on that would be a better idea, and he took off his sweater because he wouldn't want to get dye on that, "that's a very good idea. They should include other holidays, too, that people from different places celebrate, too, because I don't know any of those, but would like to, especially since our holidays are so, y'know, prominent."

Troy was mostly wandering the dorms in search of something to do when he made his way up to the fifth floor. Upon entering, he grinned. "Y'know, A.J., if you wanted to dye your hair, I would totally have helped."

[by137.livejournal.com]

"You've been living with me how long and you think this is a choice?" A.J. countered, with no small pout.

[oncourtandstage.livejournal.com]

Troy laughed. "I'm almost afraid to ask what you did to deserve this."

[by137.livejournal.com]

"Nothing more," A.J. said with a haughty lift of his chin, "than what she completely and one hundred percent knew what she was getting. Still, I'm a pushover, so here I am." He sighed, looking up at the dye soaking through his beautiful hair. "Awaiting green hair."

[oncourtandstage.livejournal.com]

"Green's not so bad," he said. "Although it's not a good as purple." He frowned for a moment, in thought. "... Think I should go purple again?"

[by137.livejournal.com]

"Why do I feel wary to allow green and purple to exist on the same sphere in regards to our hair?" A.J. mused. "Maybe it's just best for one of us to have an ungodly unnatural color at a time."

[oncourtandstage.livejournal.com]

"... Well, we'll be home for most of it?" Troy said. "Hah! You're going to be going home with green hair!"

[by137.livejournal.com]

"Thank you, Captain Obvious," A.J. rolled his eyes. "And, that said, because of that, don't be surprised if I return with none."

And that would be a true wibble on A.J.'s poor face.

Troy laughed. "There are people who can fix it for you. I know I heard possibly handwavily about someone who can do it with their powers." He paused. "Well, I heard they can dye hair, but same difference, right?"

[intraspective]

"It's revenge," Ino told the other guy airily, "so I'm the one that gets to do it."

[oncourtandstage.livejournal.com]

Troy nodded. "Revenge for what?" he asked.

[intraspective]

She pointed at her head, still half blue from paint, "For doing this to me." Ino wrinkled her nose, "It won't come out no matter what we do."

[oncourtandstage.livejournal.com]

Troy cocked his head at it. "Why didn't you just ask someone to fix it for you?" he said. "Surely someone has some kind of power that could fix it. Isn't there someone who has abilities like that?"

[intraspective]

Ino blinked at him. "I... don't know anyone that does?" She offered, "And besides, even if there was this is still fair. He started it."

[oncourtandstage.livejournal.com]

"And who's going to end it?" Troy said, chuckling. "Just as long as I don't get caught in the crossfire, okay?"

[intraspective]

"I'm going to end it," Ino said confidently, "this is one 'battle' I'm totally winning." She grinned at the guy, and said teasingly, "I don't know, dying hair is a lot of fun..."
