[This is via text because NO ONE SHOULD SEE HIM RIGHT NOW HE'S HIDEOUS and also he's hyper depressed about losing his best friend, but mostly HE'S HIDEOUS. His roots are showing like mad and he's resorted to wearing a beanie. A BEANIE in this weather. It's horrific.]

yeah so glad everything's all back to normal and whatever, but i got an important question:

where can i get some hair bleach and dye? 'cause like hell i'm going out like this

[p r i o r i t i e s]

Comments

[sakabroto]

genetics? i think. i dunno. most japanese people don't have blond hair.

usually

[Not counting Ann, who is a bit of a special case]

and it's about freedom. the world tells me i shouldn't do dye my hair cuz of how it'll look to society, but screw society, yanno? i wanna dye my hair, so i do it

[atwo]

oh.
i see.

[ she doesn't see tbh. ]

so there is no actual benefit to changing your hair color besides feeling as if you have freedom?

[sakabroto]

[her deadpan does not come through via text thankfully]

well yeah. it looks cool! your hair and clothes are a huge part of your self-expression, yanno? bein' able to change them as you like, it's like declarin' who you are as a person

[atwo]

[ one day he will see it. ]

I don't believe I'm able to understand what you mean, at least on a personal and emotional level.
This sounds important to you, however.

[sakabroto]

yeah its kinda important to me
i mean not the most important thing
but pretty important

but have you never thought about fancyin' up or anything?
new clothes, new hairstyle?

[atwo]

i hope that you are able to find this 'dye' in that case.
but don't despair if you can not.

no, i haven't.
there's no need for me to do it, no benefit.

[sakabroto]

if i have to shave my head 'cause of my roots, then yeah that's a pretty big reason to despair though

it ain't about the 'benefit,' A2!
it's about having fun
you can do that now, yanno? no more war or anything?

[Yet.]

[atwo]

shaving your hair feels like a step too far.

[ ryuji wtf ]

i wouldn't even know what to do with my hair.
i'm unsure of if any color would stick to it given what it is made of. [ which is probably why it's always stayed the same color despite all the oil and such she's been in. ]

[sakabroto]

s'what i said! but everyone here is telling me i can just do that like it ain't a big deal? ugh

you could tie it up or put some highlights in
what's your hair made of?
sometimes there's dyes that people use on synthetic wigs that might work

[atwo]

hair takes a long time to grow.

it's a special fiber so it doesn't tangle easily nor get damaged by something as simple as seawater or rain.
i could try to tie it up...

[sakabroto]

it really does
unless you don't want it to grow and then it's like some kinda jungle exploding outta your head

man...that sounds nice.
not that my hair tangles cuz it's short, but i mean, not getting damaged? that's awesome

you can probably tie it up or put stuff in it though.
girls like barettes and stuff, right?

[atwo]

jungle exploding outta your head.
i'm afraid i don't understand.

it does help to not need to worry about my hair too much.
i do need to wash it to keep it from getting 'smelly'.

i think that they do. i wouldn't know myself, though.

[sakabroto]

i mean it feels like it grows super fast when you want to keep it short

wait how does synthetic hair get smelly? do you sweat???

i'll buy you a barette then
if you like it, you can use it

[atwo]

oh, i understand what you mean now.
it's like how you hope for something to do happen and yet it does.

no, it's because of the dirt, mud and other aspects can get stuck.

that sounds like a good plan.

[sakabroto]

yeah kinda like that but uh
not as dark i guess

d'you go rolling around in mud a lot?

and k gimme your address so i know where to go when i find one that i think'll look good

[atwo]

i don't, but my jobs are often in the woods and such so it just happens.

[ annnd she'll give him her address. ] you don't need to worry about impressing me.

[sakabroto]

oh ok that makes sense then

and even so i'm gonna find something awesome
just you wait!

[HE KNOWS THIS. He knows this trap.
Girls, even android robot killer chicks, only say they don't want to be impressed, when they really actually want to be!!!!

So, in about five or six days after this broadcast, A2 will get a package wrapped in yellow paper that reads:

Yo! Thought this might match your style. ;) - Ryuji]

[atwo]

i'll wait then.

[ and she does wait. there's no reason for her to not to after all.
a2 will be kind enough to send him a thank you message in return.

and, he'll probably see her wearing it next time. ]

[sakabroto]

cool i'll drop it off soon as i find it!
