[ 003 | video | hair: blue (for now), bobbed ]

[exmarksthe.livejournal.com]

[Ramona appears in the mirror holding scissors and a flat iron. She has cut her hair shorter (into a bit of a bob) and straightened it, but it's still the same blue it was before. Several different boxes of hair dye sit on a table next to her - red, pink, mauve, magenta, purple, green, pine green, lime green, sky blue, navy blue, midnight blue, black, sable, orange, tangerine, blond, platinum, gold, silver, crystal, ruby, sapphire, emerald, and a few that might not even exist on the color spectrum. She pauses for a moment before starting to speak.]

Well, if I'm gonna be here a while, and from the looks of things, I am [glaring off to the side, presumably at the absent Queen] I figure I might as well try to keep things interesting for myself. Haven't touched my hair in a few months now other than to re-dye it, and by my standards, that's like decades.

So help me pick, people. Which color says "Help, I'm stuck in an alternate dimension and I can't get out" best?

[EDIT: Later in the day, Ramona eventually decides on a vivid reddish-pink, seen here.]

... Umm... I'm not really sure. I kinda like your hair blue though...

Then again, I don't really see the point of dyeing hair much so... I don't know.

[exmarksthe.livejournal.com]

It's just something I do. Variety is the spice of cliched sayings and all that jazz.

[sheroic.livejournal.com]

Red, white and blue!

[exmarksthe.livejournal.com]

Uh, sorry. Two colors max. I make it a point to not look like a flag, but that's just me.

[ophiuchushadow.livejournal.com]

Green, like an alien! You can match the trees that way, too.

[exmarksthe.livejournal.com]

That's the second time I've heard someone bring up aliens today. Maybe you're onto something.

[thetrueblow.livejournal.com]

Either gold or black. Something bold.

Or both, if you want to look like a bee.

[exmarksthe.livejournal.com]

Hahaha, yeah, bees are a little outside my normal fashion range!

I like the bold idea, though.

Violet.

Or better yet, why not let it grow out?

[Video]

[exmarksthe.livejournal.com]

Tried that for a while. It, uh, doesn't usually work out.

[gun-cata.livejournal.com]

Are stripes too complicated?

[exmarksthe.livejournal.com]

From a technical standpoint, no. They were just never my thing. Two-tone is usually what I go for when more than one color's involved.

[yakuza-otaku.livejournal.com]

The first thing that came to mind was rainbow, but that's probably really complicated for hair dyeing...

Maybe if there was a magical hair dye that changes colors on its own every so often...

[exmarksthe.livejournal.com]

I don't know if that'd be so great, actually. There's something to be said for thinking over the color choice for yourself and taking the time to apply it. Makes the change feel more personal, if that makes sense.

[falterderleere.livejournal.com]

I'd say some shade of red, a darker one would bring out your eyes nicely, or that silver.

[therabbitisalie.livejournal.com]

...What do you think about green?

Back from hiatus! Sorry for the wait.

[exmarksthe.livejournal.com]

I've done green before. Green's cool.

[uraniumtea.livejournal.com]

Red. No, yellow! Both?

Back from hiatus! Sorry for the wait.

[exmarksthe.livejournal.com]

Isn't this the part where you get thrown off a Bridge of Death or something?

[mnementomori]

You can change your hair color?

[this is news to her.]

[Video]

[exmarksthe.livejournal.com]

Yeah, pretty easily. You've never tried it before?

[airof.livejournal.com]

I don't know about that but you'd be a cute blonde.

Back from hiatus! Sorry for the wait.

[exmarksthe.livejournal.com]

Haha, ah, thanks for the thought, but no thanks. Blonde has a few... not-so-good connotations that go along with it for me.

[Like 3 out of 7 evil exes.]

[peachhat.livejournal.com]

Obviously not blue. Yellow works well for that.

Back from hiatus! Sorry for the wait.

[exmarksthe.livejournal.com]

Yeah, blue's a calmer color. Not gonna go for yellow, but a bright color seems best right now, yeah.

[stalker-science.livejournal.com]

Mix some together and see what happens!

Back from hiatus! Sorry for the wait.

[exmarksthe.livejournal.com]

Ramona and the Technicolor Dream Hair?

[hotshot-momma.livejournal.com]

I... I'm sorry, I'm not sure I understand why you would want to change your hair color.

[...specifically, why you would trade something useful for something like hair dye of all things, but she's having trouble articulating that.]

Back from hiatus! Sorry for the wait.

[exmarksthe.livejournal.com]

[Shrugs]

It's just what I do.

[valkyrihe.livejournal.com]

I kinda think we have a bit more important stuff to worry about than hair colors!

Back from hiatus! Sorry for the wait.

I've already been almost eaten by the jungle once since coming here and been trying to do what I can to get out. Even in Magical Kidnappy Flower Land, people need breaks every now and then. This is what I do on mine.
