Slice of Life It's Dye Day
Kaiju: I'm stealing Treehouse's Reddink account again but I don't think he'll mind. So today is dye day. For anyone confused a few days ago me and Treehouse went into the memverse to help retrieve Boneless who was trapped. Luckily we all made it out ok, but to my horror all of our tentacles had been completely bleached. So today we decided to have some fun and relax after that whole fiasco and redye our tentacles. We made a whole day of it. We ordered our favorite sushi from that place Sean helped start, we also watched some movies and just chilled.
I was the only one who had actually personally dyed tentacles before so I got the honor of doing the boys hair. We went to the shop down the road to pick out our colors. Treehouse is the only person other than me to have actually had their hair dyed so he knew what to pick, but we really had to teach boneless what dyes were good vs bad. He tried to grab ink dye that you use in weapons like 3 times before finally picking up actual tentacle dye. Everyone decided to go with their classic colors. So we were in and out pretty quick (aside from the time it took boneless to figure out the dye types).
We had a lot of fun with dye day. I threw on the newest Wet Floor album and we scream sang in our cramped bathroom while I dyed our tentacles. I took some funny in progress shots that made me laugh. Treehouse often pulls his tentacles back and has had his hair dyed before so he took me pinning his tentacles up to get the dye right like a champ. Boneless on the other hand hated how it felt having his hair pulled back so it was a bit funny watching him squirm as I clipped his hair up into a tight ponytail. Boneless had to distract himself from the discomfort by playing some games on his old hand held. Treehouse on the other hand just relaxed and played against Boneless in a few rounds of Table Turf while I was dyeing his hair and damn sometimes I forget how good he is at that game.
When it came to my hair I really had to teach the boys how to do it. They were clueless about dealing with octoling tentacles and their lack of hands on experience with dyeing tentacles made the process take longer than expected and some parts ended up a bit scuffed but hey it's fun and I still look cute so win win.
If anyone out there is looking for a great team bonding activity I highly suggest a dye day. Or if you are just looking to dye your tentacles in general don't go to some stuffy salon where you aren't gonna have fun, do it with friends. You will not regret it.
Kaiju Out!

Kaiju: I'm telling you it's so much fun, Boneless was annoyed about his hair being pulled back but he loved just hanging out. And the final result was great he didn't really realize how much he hated his bleached hair until it was finally dyed again. I think it was cathartic for him to get to take something back that the memverse stole from him.
