Honestly... Ramona had almost forgotten all about Jade coming over. It was pretty lucky that she picked today, though, as Ramona had been itching for a change ever since Scott appeared on the network. She'd been pretty content with her blue hair since she arrived at the facility, but now her exes were everywhere and there was just nowhere to run and if she didn't do something drastic, she was going to go INSANE! Jack said the blue was stupid, anyway... She had seriously been considering shaving it all off before she remembered the hair dye from Gotham.

And then there was a knock at the door.

The room still smelled faintly of spilled alcohol, despite Ramona's best efforts to clean up after Jack and Dave's drunkparty. It was better than the smell of Dersite blood. Ramona opened the door just a little and checked to see who it was first. Her arm wasn't broken anymore, but it was still covered in bruises and her shoulder was still stitched up and sore as hell which would put her at a disadvantage if it was someone wanting to fight. Or worse...

Pleasedon'tbeScott, PLEASEdon'tbeScott! "... Hey, Jade. What's up?"

[crystalanthemum]

"Hi, Ramona!!" The smell barely phased Jade at all even though she noticed it immediately- It was just alcohol!! Maybe Ramona had been experimenting with tranquilizers or something. "Um, not a lot is up, but you said we could do hair!"

[hairlikethis]

"Oh, right! I totally forgot. Come on in." She opened the door wide so Jade could enter the room.

"Just let me grab the stuff and we can take over the bathroom. You can have a seat on Jack's bunk if you want. Just... don't touch the desk."

Never touch the desk, oh my god.

"I've got blue, green, pink, and black... which doesn't exactly help you." She makes her way to the closet and rummages through the stockpiles of stuff from past f3 trips. Aha. A few bottles of dye and a box of bleach. Ramona stares at the green one for a few minutes before emerging from the closet.

"I think I'm gonna dye my hair green."

[crystalanthemum]

"Oooh, I want green too!"

Jade was just kind of casually sitting on the bed, hands folded politely on her lap, when Ramona came out! She hadn't touched the desk at all. Nope. Not even a little. That peanut-butter bone with a big green bow tied on it? Was totally there before. Totally.

"But..." She tapped her chin thoughtfully. "I thought you liked it blue!"

[hairlikethis]

"Green it is. We can share the bottle." She offers a small smile and grabs the stuff, saying nothing about the mysterious bone on the desk.

"It was nice for a while. I need a change. I used to change my hair every three weeks."

She grabs a pair of latex gloves from the first aid kit and nods towards the door. "Shall we?"

[crystalanthemum]

Jade nodded and walked out of the room, heading towards the bathroom cheerfully! "Ramona you said before you could give me a tiger stripe, could you still do that just with green? Or maybe like sixteen tiger stripes."

But then she stopped to think! "Or maybe that's too many...? I don't want to look too mature or I'll out-mature Nepeta and then she might be upset or something... And if I out-awesomed Dave that wouldn't do at all!! Maybe only twelve stripes."

[hairlikethis]

Oh jeebus...

"How about we start with a big one right here," She shifted the bottles to one arm so she could gently grab a lock of hair right behind Jade's ear, "And a smaller one to frame the other side of your face? Subtle sometimes makes more of a statement. You want to look cool, not insane."

Also, you are fourteen. The responsible adults in this place would kill her.

"People will only catch a glimpse when you're hair is down, but when you put it up, it will be a lot more noticeable. Deal?"

[crystalanthemum]

"But you're cool." Jade tilted her head a little bit. "And you dyed ALL of your hair!"

Siiiiigh. "But I guess you know what you're talking about!!! Deal."

[hairlikethis]

"I'm also an undisclosed number of years older than you." The smile smile turned into a smirk. Just having Jade around was already making Ramona feel a lot better. She dumped the stuff on the floor of the bathroom and took out a hair elastic from her makeup bag.

"Just trust me on this. You're gonna look so hot. Have a seat so I can put your hair up."

This is kind of nice. She'd have to do this with Feferi sometime.

[crystalanthemum]

"I bet you're... Twenty... five!"

Nod nod!! Jade took a seat, smiling excitedly. "Really?? Hot?? Hee, I hope Dave likes it. Does Jack like your hair? I bet he likes your hair."

[hairlikethis]

"A lady never reveals her age... but you're pretty damn, close." Ramona's not actually sure if she missed a birthday somewhere between the time Asura killed her and she went back home for a while. She's not even sure if she's the real Ramona... does she still even get birthdays? What day is it, even!?

"I'm sure Dave's going to love it." Especially since she didn't go with the pink.

And then the awkward question... it had been going SO well.

"Uh... sure. I guess." He thinks hair is stupid. He's told her how stupid her hair is so many times. SO MANY.

[crystalanthemum]

"If he notices, at least." Jade sighed a tiny bit!!! "Dave is great but he's kind of too cool to notice a lot of the time..."

It took everything Jade had to resist a gigglefit!! "Jack doesn't really notice that kinda thing either, huh??? But I guess he's an alien."

[hairlikethis]

"..." Awh, sweetie. Ramona quickly threw Jade's hair up in a loose bun on top of her head to keep it out of the way and then put her hands on the younger girl's shoulders.

"He'll notice. Just because someone seems too cool to notice... doesn't mean they don't. He's probably just not showing it for his stupid image." Trust her. She has so much experience in dealing with guys like that. "Anytime you need advice about something like that, you come see me. My door's always open for you, dude."

Oh god, more talk about Jack. This is not her favorite topic of conversation. "He'd like it better if I was a Dersite..."

[crystalanthemum]

"R-really?" It's impossible for a hug to be delivered in that position, but Jade tried anyway, bumping her head back into Ramona. "You're a really great friend, you know that??"

And then she did it again, a more comforting bonk this time! "Do you want to know a secret thing that Bec always liked? Jack might like it too."

[hairlikethis]

"Really."

Great friend? Ramona has never heard those words ever. EVER! She sort of returns the awkward bump-hug (bug?!) and pulls a large lock of Jade's hair out of the bun, letting it drape over her shoulder. She moves to the other side and picks out a smaller piece with a comb that falls just beside her face, on top this time and not underneath.

"Sure. Shoot."

[crystalanthemum]

"Okay, first... Kinda make your hand into a crab claw like this?" Jade held up her hand, making it into a crab claw like she said. "And then you just put it behind his ear and scritch like this!" Pantomimed scratching now! Jade is the absolute best teacher in the universe. "He kinda always melted into a big puppy puddle when I did that so I think Jack would like it too."
