57 (The Nifty Nineties)

[Video/Action for those at the Olivine household! Backdated to this morning. Also, trying something new with my action brackets. Anyway!

Yensid the Medicham is up to his usual shenanigans, playing with the Pokegear as he sits on Minnie's bed. She yawns adorably, getting up, but her head can't be seen by the camera angle just yet.]

Mmm... good morning... Oh! Yensid, what have I told you about playing with my Pokegear? Naughty boy.

[She yawns again, gives him a tap on the head, and then heads for her vanity mirror. Though you still can't fully see her, you all know what she looks like by now - something like this. She's dressed in a cute frilly nightgown, and hasn't seen her reflection yet.]

Terribly sorry about that, everyone... but I hope your day is doing well. After all the scary business we've been enduring, it's nice to just have a calm, cool, morn....

[She abruptly stops. Yen Sid finally looks up from the screen, and his eyes widen. Then... Minnie begins to scream.]

My hair! My hair! What's happened to my hair?!

[Yensid holds up the Pokegear so everyone can see. Minnie's usual long locks of black are now bright white - snow white, you could say. Ah, the tragedy of future ice powers.]

Eeeeeeeeek!

Huh?

Re: [video]

[combat_butler]

Er... I've seen a lot of people looking kind of ill and stuff! Like... around town and over the network!

Re: [video]

[her_mouse_jesty]

What?! Oh my goodness! I've been so sick, I hadn't been checking in!

[video]

[combat_butler]

... eh? You've been sick?

*Yeah he's had symptoms but his stupidly high endurance has kind of let him ignore it all aside from... certain things which he's hoping will go away after the weekend.*

[video]

[her_mouse_jesty]

Just for the past couple of days. I didn't give it any real thought, but...

[video]

[combat_butler]

. . .

I... I hadn't given any thought to the fact it might be a sickness...

[video]

[her_mouse_jesty]

If what you said is true, then it's one that's spread all over Johto!

[video]

[combat_butler]

... and Kanto, for that matter.

[video]

[her_mouse_jesty]

Well... if it's a sickness... then that means a cure is sure to come!

[Phew!

[video]

[combat_butler]

In our case, all we would need would be some hair dye and a pair of scissors!

*oops, he said "our"*

[video]

[her_mouse_jesty]

Would that work on something so...

So...

[Wait a tick.]

Our?

[video]

[combat_butler]

--ah?! Oh, um... *Averting his gaze a little with a tilt of his head, which might kind of give away the fact there's something... odd about the back of his hair.*

Y-Your! I meant your! A slip of the tongue, Minnie-san, that's all!

[her_mouse_jesty]

... Hayate... is there something you'd like to share?

[You almost expect her to add 'with the rest of the class?']

[video]

[combat_butler]

... not particularly?

Re: [video]

[her_mouse_jesty]

That's not terribly reassuring, Hayate.

[video]

[combat_butler]

... haven't I reassured enough so far to make up for one that isn't?

[video]

[her_mouse_jesty]

Hayate!

[video]

[combat_butler]

... er. Yes?

[video]

[her_mouse_jesty]

Show me.

[video]

[combat_butler]

*S-SIGH... With a bit of awkward shuffling he looks off to the side completely, tilting his head while raising a hand to bring up some of the ridiculously glamorous looking purple hair that has grown directly out of where his blue normally ends.*

[video]

[her_mouse_jesty]

[Gasp!]

Oh my goodness!

[video]

[combat_butler]

*THERE'S MORE ISSUES HERE but he's not about to strip for her, sorry.*

I even cut it all off once already, yet it grew back while I was asleep...

[video]

[her_mouse_jesty]

... That does not bode well for my own hair.

[video]

[combat_butler]

... I haven't tried dying it yet, if that helps.

[video]

[her_mouse_jesty]

It's still very upsetting, but at least we're not alone in it.
