Second Floor Common Room, Tuesday Evening

[dabblinginbitch.livejournal.com]

So, Ramona and Tony had had a bet. Or a dare. Whatever, same kind of thing. It had taken her entirely too long, but she had washed the dye out of her hair, and actually added a nice little brown sheen to it, but nevertheless, it was her natural color.

She thought it looked weird -- and not like her at all -- but whatever, she was the clear winner here. And why was that? Because of the boy in the towel.

Even if he was refusing to remove it. She knew what color his hair was under there. Which was why she'd dragged Tony out to the common room, to 'socialize.'

Look, even if Ramona preferred having her hair in pinks or turquoises or oranges or whatever, she knew she was going to get a lot less laughter thrown her way. And it was all his fault for (a) agreeing, and (b) letting her pick the color. Oh, Tony.

So she'd turned on the TV in an effort to pretend like she was doing something other than making fun of poor, innocent, pink-haired Tony, but really, she was keeping an eye on him to keep him from bolting, and on the door to see who would come to look.

[open common room is open! Ramona is a brunette for the time being, and Tony will have pink hair, yes. :)]

Curiosity got the better of him and Tony had to see just how bad the damage was. So off went the towel as he pulled some of his bangs down to inspect them.

"If anyone comes in with a camera, I'm using you as a human shield," he said like the brave, brave superhero that he was.

Yes, saving a train once made him a superhero. Deal with it.

"I think it's flattering," Ramona said mildly. "You're being a drama queen."

[hoorayimrich.livejournal.com]

"My hair is pink!"

No, drama queen would involve him claiming that his life was over and writing poetry about his pain. This was a drama princess.

"It suits you," Ramona replied, shrugging. "Whatever, I'm stuck with brown hair. Yours is way better."

[hoorayimrich.livejournal.com]

"Brown is a color that occurs in nature," Tony replied, flopping back on the couch sulkily. "Pink only happens in cartoons."

[dabblinginbitch.livejournal.com]

"Not true, pink is actually the name of a flower that the color was named after," Ramona said triumphantly, pointing at him. "Plus, pink occurs in tons of flowers other than pinks, and on butterflies, and pigs are pink, and one could argue that Caucasian humans are a very light pink, especially when sunburned! So ha, totally occurring in nature."

"But not for hair color!" Unless it was anime. But that was Japan being crazy.

"Oh, whatever, it looks nice," she said, shaking her head. "It brings out your eyes."

"...I'm not a girl," he pointed out.

Bruce just had a hunch as he was heading up the stairs. It just seemed like there would be something worthwhile in the second floor common room tonight.

He noticed the hair colors immediately. "Good evening. What's on?"

He was going to play it like that, yes.

"That show with the singing," Ramona said, also completely acting like nothing was different. "It's Justin Bieber night. I'm not entirely sure I can afford the brain cells I'm losing, but it's a risk I'm willing to take at the moment."

[willbethenight.livejournal.com]

"And Tony has some to spare, right?" Bruce asked, giving a smirk. "You're cruel."

[dabblinginbitch.livejournal.com]

"Only a little, and only sometimes. And yes, if I need to borrow some of Tony's brain cells, I'm sure he'd let me borrow them," she assured him. "Especially since I helped him out so much already."

[willbethenight.livejournal.com]

"You had something to do with that? I'm stunned," Bruce said, looking totally surprised, really.

[dabblinginbitch.livejournal.com]

"There might have been a deal worked out," she admitted demurely. "I think it's a flattering color on him."

[willbethenight.livejournal.com]

"It definitely could have been worse," Bruce said. "I think he'll be relatively safe from pointing and laughing."

"The other end of the deal was seeing you with a normal hair color?"

[dabblinginbitch.livejournal.com]

She nodded. "He foolishly let me choose what color he got to wear," she added with a smile. "But yeah, the deal was that I have to be a brunette as long as he puts up with the fuchsia. So...I'm guessing inside of a week, personally."

"He told me that he wasn't the businessman in the family. I guess this proves him right," Bruce said. "I'll be generous and give him until Friday. But I think it's getting changed sooner than that."

Tony peered over to make sure Bruce didn't have a camera with him. "Nothing much."

[willbethenight.livejournal.com]

"There's something different about you, Tony," Bruce noted. "New shirt?"

[hoorayimrich.livejournal.com]

"Same shirt," Tony replied dryly. Because he was from a CGI series and changing their clothing was expensive.

[willbethenight.livejournal.com]

"Did you shave?" Bruce checked.

[hoorayimrich.livejournal.com]

"...shave what?"

DAMN IT BRUCE.

[willbethenight.livejournal.com]

"Hmm. Guess not. I just can't place what's different," Bruce said.

[hoorayimrich.livejournal.com]

Tony just rolled his eyes at that. "Hi, Bruce. I dyed my hair and you've gone blind. Anything else new happen?"
