75th moon [video]

[Johto, Kanto, today you get an overhead view of a mass of white hair.

Well, no, that's not quite right. You get an overhead view of a mass of white hair that has been previously vomited on by a Skittles factory. Seriously, there are enough beads in there to cover decently an exotic dancer, with colors that clash so much they could blind design students. The worst part? Two Gardevoirs can partially be seen, working on the beads, and they're still adding more.]

How does it look? The girls refuse to let me see the results until they're completely done.

[Break it to him gently, everyone.]

[ she giggles at the sight. ]

It looks lovely! More lavish than most women get for their wedding night!

[paladinlost]

Is it? That would explain why my head feels somewhat heavy. Then again, the women of Baron tend to favor headpieces over beads for their weddings.

[Hikaru's laughing out loud. So much laughing. So. Much. Laughing like this is pain!!]

They... they probably don't want you to see on purpose!

video

[paladinlost]

[Well, that's very reassuring.]

I can understand not wanting to show off an unfinished product, but they are surprisingly insistent about it.

[His mouth opens.

...and then it closes...

And then he rubs his eyes to make sure this isn't some wacky byproduct of his imagination.]

...It's, uh. Colorful?

video

[paladinlost]

[No, it's a wacky byproduct of Lily and Terra's imagination!]

...Just how colorful, exactly? On a scale of one to ten.

[Because he knows what beads he has, and some of them... well.]

[positivelynormal]

It looks really cute!

[ What a canned response. But with the magic of being an idol it sounds genuine and there's vocal inflection to make it sound interesting! ]

Your hair is long and pretty, and it's very suitable for accessories like that.

[paladinlost]

Thank you.

[Why, it even sounds sincere.]

I've no worn beads in quite a long time. I'll have to get used to the weight again.

[video]

[soggypastry]

[Trying to not look that amused and...failing, really. She's never been the type to color coordinate--that's Serah's thing, not hers, but...well this is just a mess.]

You might want to find a mirror before they finish. They could probably use some help.

[video]

[paladinlost]

You think so? They seem to be threading them tightly enough; nothing feels loose. They're spreading them evenly, too.

[Of course, he misunderstood that completely.]

[teablossom]

[Mami stares at the result for a good long time, calmly considering, before giving her detailed report.]

It's quite a statement. What's the occasion?

video

[paladinlost]

Lily and Terra wanted a mother-daughter bonding activity and pretty beads. Is that enough of an occasion?

[eagletalons]

[Oh my Etro. Cecil, you look like something that would come out if a fireworks display mated with parade confetti.]

Ah--

... Well. Let's just say that a rainbow would be envious and leave it at that.

video;

[paladinlost]

[Really, now. If that was the case he'd be more on fire than that.]

...Envious of the quantity of colors, or the coordination between them?

[Video]

[foolishwren]

_{[--holy CRAP. It's like Lisa Frank married a mop and had a baby with it.]}

Jeezus. What did they do?!

_{[... Sorry Cecil that probably wasn't the best way to break it to you.]}

[Video]

[paladinlost]

They threaded beads in my hair. How does it look?

[That reaction should have already told him how it looks, but never mind.]

[video]

[riastrad_ridire]

Look, I ain't any fashion icon myself, but... holy shit.

[video]

[paladinlost]

I taught them all about the color wheel and matching accessories months ago. I have no idea where they went wrong.

[iselldrugstothecommunity]

You look like a damn gumball machine.

[paladinlost]

...That would quite probably be a very alarming description if I knew what a gumball was.

[video]

[darkenedgales]

--That's, uh, really...

[How is he even supposed to describe the horror that's happening there without hurting anyone's feelings in the process...?]

Believe me, it'd leave anyone speechless.

[video]

[paladinlost]

...You know, in my world being hit by a Silence spell and left unable to cast spells is generally a bad thing.

[Not neutral enough, try again. Though the girls themselves don't seem to have caught that.]

[Video]

[babel_hacker]

You're very...

[What's a good word for this?]

...well, it'd put a peacock's feather tails to shame?

[Atsuro, what is even that description]

[Video]

[paladinlost]

...I can look decent in quite a few colors, but peacock-like might be a little too much.

[Cecil, the warm colors were already a little too much.]

[video] and being late as usual-

[impulsives]

...PPPFFFFT-

[this one's really obvious in his reaction, at least.

Just give him a second for him to stop snerking like an idiot.]

[video] There's no such thing as late!

[paladinlost]

...That bad, is it? In what manner?

[Not Amused.]

[video]

[rapid_dash]

[Icon is the most appropriate face.]

...It's like someone dyed a Silver Chocobo the color of the rainbow, yo.

[video]

[paladinlost]

That would never work. A Chocobo would fight back after the first feather.

[A beat.]

...You also have Chocobos in your world?
