2nd Floor Common Room | Wednesday Afternoon

[kirked]

Jim didn't know why he'd come back from Haiti before checking to see if the island was being weird. He really didn't. He'd just come back and as soon as he'd settled down in the common room, he'd noticed his arms were now a very festive shade of green and red. At first, he thought he'd caught some rash from being in Haiti and had almost called

Bay held up her candy cane-striped arms when she spotted Jim on her common room visit. "It got you too, huh?" she asked, sounding more amused than annoyed.

[kirked]

"Yep," he said, holding up his arms. "Luckily, it's just my arms. I'd be screwed if my beautiful face got colored too."

"See, I have a big white blob on my stomach and red and white stripes up my left leg," Bay shared. "Just the left one, though. Apparently my right leg was perfect just the way it is."

Jim chuckled and held up a hand as an apology once he stopped snickering.

"You really got it bad," he said, shaking his head. "Tried showering? I did and it didn't work."

[justbeingbay]

Bay tried to look irritated at the chuckle, but the attempt melted pretty fast. "Yeah, I showered," she nodded. "And used body scrub, and shaved my legs. So I'm really really clean, just funny colors."

She shrugged. "At this point I'm just hoping it's a one-day thing. Like the horses yesterday."

"Least you're not alone?" Jim said, shrugging a shoulder. "Maybe tomorrow we'll wake up and we'll all have beards like Santa Claus."

[justbeingbay]

"Bite your tongue," Bay groaned. "I can handle candy cane skin, but a beard would totally wreck my look."

[kirked]

"Whereas I would totally rock a beard," he said, rubbing his chin. "Maybe not a white beard but I think brown would make me look pretty awesome."

"You'd look like a hipster," Bay told him. "Just add a fedora."

[kirked]

"And is looking like a hipster a good thing or a bad thing?" Jim wondered. "I've heard differing opinions on that."

[justbeingbay]

Bay shrugged. "I think it's like, if people can tell you're trying to look like a hipster, it's lame," she said. "If it's just your sense of style, it can work on some guys. Not sure about you."

[kirked]

"Well, I wouldn't want to go full on mountain man if I did end up with a beard," he said, making a face. "Maybe something nicely trimmed that'll keep my face warm and make me look good."

[justbeingbay]

"You could just grow a curly mustache," Bay suggested innocently. "Maybe wax it at the ends. Like Salvador Dali."

[kirked]

"A mustache?" Jim said, sounding skeptical. "I think I'd look...mustaches are weird looking. They make people look creepy."

[justbeingbay]

"Yeah, I might have suggested that just to see what you'd say," Bay said, and pulled a strand of hair across her face in a faux mustache. "What do you think? Is this look me?"

[kirked]

"You look like a bank robber," Jim quipped, smirking. "Like a very inept bank robber. Anyone who can't grow a mustache can't rob a bank."
