Er... Sorry to bother everyone with something so... comparatively inconsequential, but...

[ Jess pauses for a moment or two, because she can't help feeling awkward about this. This is so stupid. ]

I don't make a good blonde. And quite honestly, I really hate to fulfill my parents' dream of being their perfect Aryan superchild, and my roots are growing in, so...

Black hairdye. Can someone make it for me? I can't really... pay you back, but I'll do what I can.

[ An important question ]

What is... Aryan?

Edited 2016-12-04 13:09 (UTC)

Oh boy.

...are you from a version of Earth? Any time after the 1940s?

Yes.

...But I... don't know things? [ ugh, words ] Um. School things.

Okay. Well... Aryans are the so-called 'master race'. Blonde, blue-eyed, northern European white people, essentially.

I don't believe in that crap, but my parents did, which is part of why I do my best to disappoint them at every opportunity.

Most... blonde people are... not that great. In my life. Need lots of... training.

[ she says it thoughtfully but baffled. Steph is like. A wonderful exception, but she was still in no way a "master race" type of person.

Ollie, on the other hand, really is not that great. ]

Ouch. Okay, I see how it is...

[ She doesn't sound actually offended, and she definitely doesn't want to sound like she's coming out in defense of any Nazi ideas, but... wow, Cass. She can hear you. ]

[ Cass shoves Steph lightly with her foot (because of course they're in the same room) but answers on the network. Because since Cass is concentrating on it, it's easier than switching back and forth. ]

Not you. You're the... [ crap, what's the word? ] ...strange one?

[ Steph lifts her head, grinning, but she stays on the psychic network just so Cass doesn't have to make the mental shift to process the out-loud words. ]

I don't know, the training comment felt a little personal.

You have... something that makes up... for it.

You get up.

[ and honestly she's never really explicitly said as much but between her expression and the tone of her voice, Steph might be able to realize that Cass really respects her for that ]

Oh. [ She's not blushing. She is not. ] Well... that's okay, then.

[ Out loud, Jess snickers quietly, and some of that amusement carries over to her mental tone. ]

That's true. Logic and facts don't really... work on people who believe that sort of thing, though.

Ah. [ There's the sense that she's probably nodding sagely, from her tone ] Idiots.

[ Anyone near Jess at this moment is probably a little startled by the sudden, sharp laugh that bursts out of her at that — but then, with the psychic network, everyone probably gets used to that sort of thing fairly quickly. ]

Exactly.
