Eighteenth Spool of Thread-[Action]

[so_shik]

[assuming that Rosalie has told Shiki about the POV gun and that she still has it, Shiki's inside house 10 waiting for Rosalie to show up with any of the victims she had shot. The two girls, well, more like Rosalie herself, decided that the people of Luceti needed a makeover and so here Shiki was, trying to figure out why exactly she agreed to

[Action, why do I do this to him]

[nilradiance]

[Being bored out of his mind (and as much as he would never ever admit it, lonely), Cloud had kind of wanted to go see someone. But socializing for the sake of socializing had never been his thing; he needed an excuse there should be a reason for the intrusion. Well, this girl did have a point that he could use a makeover. That was a good reason, right? He needed something to make him look different from the other Cloud, anyway.

...Wait, what?

Have a somewhat bemused Cloud in your house, Shiki. He suspects something is up (I'm assuming he got sniped from behind), especially considering why he was in your store before, but he could use something to occupy his attention anyway. As long as you stay away from actual makeup. Even a POV gun has its limits.]

What does this involve?

[Action, because we love awkward-turtle Cloud? Well I do]

[so_shik]

[Shiki looks up from what she's doing and see...Cloud. Hello Cloud, we know Rosalie shot you.] What do things with me usually involve, Cloud?

[Action]

[nilradiance]

Clothes. Is there an experiment going on? [Yeah, he hasn't heard about the guns.]

[Action]

[so_shik]

...well, you could use a summer update at least. Maybe a haircut. [No way is SHE going to be the one to tell him]

[Action]

[nilradiance]

I was considering dyeing it. [This is actually honest-to-god truth, he got the idea a few days ago.]

...Update on what? [He may suddenly care about fashion but like he actually gets it.]

[Action]

[so_shik]

At least something darker so people stop getting you and the other Cloud confused? [Yes, she met the other Cloud during the last experiment...while he was shopping for a dress]

Well, it's summer. Something cooler maybe?

[pileof_ashes]

Maybe something that doesn't make you look like some lame hero from a videogame?

[She looks him over.]

How do you feel about becoming a brunette?

O HI ROSALIE YOU POSTED RIGHT BEFORE ME XD

[nilradiance]

[Frowning at Rosalie's comment.] ...something cooler. And yeah, you've got the idea. Seen him? [The other option is taking a razor to the other Cloud's head, and that wouldn't go over so well.]

Brown might work.

[so_shik]

Yeah, I met him a month or so back. Definitely looks so much like you. Anyway...like a light brown because your eyes are too blue to go a lot darker without looking creepy. [Shiki's already getting up and hobbling to a rack of clothes she has set up] How do you feel about shorts?

[pileof_ashes]

Oh, I just suggested black hair. Too much?

[so_shik]

Definitely way too much. Black would make him look, well, just weird.

[pileof_ashes]

Perhaps some darker highlights that would go with his blond hair? I can't imagine him with brown hair, either.

[so_shik]

What about just a darker shade of blond then, like a dishwater blond?

[pileof_ashes]

Yes, that would differentiate him from the other Cloud.

[She sighs.]

His clothes are horrible.

[so_shik]

They're too serious.

[pileof_ashes]

I mean, a cloak? Does he belong to a cult or something?

[Sorry for trash-talking your style, Cloud, but it must be done.:/]
