008 ⇨ the helping hand

[brobeforehos]

[Rejoice, girls of Camp Ananawa! Your bathroom is being scrubbed clean with a toothbrush. In case anyone thought they'd be rid of a rant, think again.]

Well, if I missed school or camp before this, I certainly won't anymore, let me say that. First of all - I don't understand what's so hideously wrong about trying to cheer your brother up with candy to warrant this sort of punishment. Let's all pause and suspect it's actually the hair.

As if this is really an open-minded camp.

[She brushes said pink hair out of her eyes and huffs.] I was going to invest in my free time with a book. Saw a downright beautiful tree next to the lake I could've used as the back of a chair - but, no. Since I don't fit in with the campy feel, I suppose I'll leave it for another day. [Pauses.] If I ever finish this.

[She scrubs again, and then remembers something.] Oh, right - before anyone decides that these devices are too high-tech and un-green and takes it away from me, I have one word for you people.

[Are you ready? (Jamie can you hear this?)] Yogalates.

[ooc; Anyone else on bathroom duty is free to action for more CR! :D]

Mae, if anyone tells you that they are the best sibling in the universe, clearly they are lying. [THE BEAMING, CAN YOU SEE IT.]

[THERE IS BEAMING BACK.]

[brobeforehos.livejournal.com]

Shoved most of it under your pillow.

[enterpainment]

I'll be sure to think of you and your suffering as I eat it. [A pause.] How goes the scrubbing?

[brobeforehos.livejournal.com]

You know - wet, messy, slow. I feel like singing Annie.

[enterpainment]

You know what they say. It's not easy being pink.

[brobeforehos.livejournal.com]

I want that on a T-shirt.

[enterpainment]

I'm not very confident in my art and craft abilities, but I could use my ninja skills to work something out.

[Rose just watches for a while. So much she wants to say but it all feels a little too much like opening up to a stranger for her liking.]

I fail to see a problem with your hair.

[brobeforehos.livejournal.com]

Smuggle it in for me.

[video]

[brobeforehos.livejournal.com]

Yeah? Thanks - that's a sweet thing to say.

[derse-princess.livejournal.com]

I would ask if you were certain that was the cause of your current situation, but I realise how many people fear difference.

[waitedforyears.livejournal.com]

I like the hair.

[brobeforehos.livejournal.com]

Thank you. I'm fond of it myself.

People fear what they can't control or don't know.

[video]

[derse-princess.livejournal.com]

Precisely. Which is ridiculous, because what is there to fear from the colour of someone's hair?

[video]

[brobeforehos.livejournal.com]

Absolutely nothing.

Funny how a place which is supposed to encourage growth in all can be so narrow-minded over the pettiest things.

By the way. I'm Rose.

Re: [video]

[brobeforehos.livejournal.com]

I've seen it happen all-too-often. It's a determined growth they want.

Hey, Rose. I'm Mae.

[derse-princess.livejournal.com]

Nice to meet you, Mae.

Yes, it does rather seem that they are more concerned about moulding us into what they think we should be, regardless of what it is we want to be. If nothing else, the enforced socialisation gives that much away.

[brobeforehos.livejournal.com]

I have decided to rebel against that. One smuggled baggie of candy at a time.

[derse-princess.livejournal.com]

All revolutions begin with the smallest of actions.

[video]

[brobeforehos.livejournal.com]

So they do.

[video]

[derse-princess.livejournal.com]

Forgive me, I can see you're busy. Perhaps we may run into each other later.

[brobeforehos.livejournal.com]

No, don't go - this is the most tedious task.
