Hey, 'Zilla, you got the 'Gear?

This stuff NEEDS to be documented.

_{[That's the first thing that can be heard over the feed. When the camera first comes on, a pair of large, familiar reptilian red eyes are blinking down at it. Is it recording...? Oh, okay, recording! Good.]

[Then it zooms out a little, enough to show-- HEY! That's not the Totodile that last hijacked the 'Gear!]

[With newly black-rimmed eyes, a proud red crest, and a new ultra-manly thickened jaw, it would seem that the bratty little Totodile who'd last been seen moping on the network over whether or not he was a good Pokemon... had finally evolved, after a whole year of wanting to stay 'the baby' of the gang. What prompted his choice to finally start growing up?]

[Well, that's a story that'll have to wait till later, because he lets out a satisfied snort at the sight of the red recording light, and then turns it away from himself-- only for the screen to IMMEDIATELY be filled with a grotesquely-detailed rubber Mightyena mask, snarling and sporting a wild mane of black hair over the top!]}

RAAAARRLLGGHHBLAAARG!

_{[... Oh wait. The black hair is just Heather.]

[She yanks the mask off, grinning widely.]}

I can't even handle all these epically cheesy costumes, man. Some things really ARE universal.

_{[The camera shifts a little-- it's from a much higher vantage-point than normal now, considering all the previous times the camera-croc's been the one filming, it's been from a vantage point on the FLOOR unless he was able to persuade Honey the Butterfree to carry him-- and it becomes apparent that they're in a costume store. There's rack after rack of jumbled costumes everywhere-- looks like it's already been pretty thoroughly ransacked by local kids, but there's still plenty of stuff left. It's just... everywhere.]

[Hanging the mask back up, Heather bends down to start picking through the other odds and ends, which range from cheesy and cheap-looking to actually fairly interesting.]}

Maybe this time around, we'll actually get to ENJOY the holiday instead of spend the whole time running away from rips in the fabric of space and time...

_{[OOC: Action for anybody in Ecruteak, obviously! Feel free to assume your character is already in the shop, Heather will gladly harass them to try on stupid costume crap with her. Also feel free to address the camera-croc.]}

Yeah, it's just... I'm so lazy.

_{[She wasn't a terrible seamstress, actually, but she didn't have the patience for it.]

[She blinks.]}

Uh-- ... nope. Opposite, actually.

I stopped dyeing it for Halloween.

Or, get someone to make something for you.

...wait, so your hair was always black?

It's my natural hair-color, yeah.

Nice. Never would've guessed.

Really?

I'm actually sort of amazed by how many people had no clue.

Usually my roots stand out like a sore thumb because I'm too lazy to fix them.

I probably just never noticed.

[Clover's hair, on the other hand...well, it's so obviously dyed.]

Well, you're not the only one...

No one noticed?

Well a couple of people have. _{[She'd been told by several people, sometimes with friendly intentions and sometimes hurtful ones, to "touch up her roots already!" But she gave no fucks either way. 8D]

[Usually it took the efforts of either Rise or Liquid Snake to get her to actually hide the black peeking out where her hair parted.]}

Oh. But are you gonna go blonde again sometime?

Yeah, soon's Halloween's over, I'll re-bleach it.

Maybe I'm just used to it, but I think blond hair suits you. I tried going blonde for a while...I didn't like it too much.

I like it better than black on me, yeah.

_{[It was ... another way to separate herself from her past.]</sub.

'Sides, blondes have more fun.}

I did have fun for a bit, yeah. But I'm having more fun as a...I dunno, someone with pink hair?

Hey, pink's pretty rockin'.

Have you tried it? Going pink, I mean?

Pink?

Nah. Little too girly for me.

_{[She doesn't mind doing the girly thing every once in awhile... and she used to be more into shopping and crap, but pink was pushin' it.]}

You could go for a hotter, darker shade of pink?

[Sorry, Clover is biased. And it shows.]

_{[And Heather pokes her tongue out and makes a face in response.]}

Just not my look.

[A shrug.]

Blond's not my look either, so we're even.
