For Lola

[withstyle]

[Obviously, this place has a few...quirky things to offer along with the in-you-face good aspects that Izzy has pinpointed since she came through the portal. Bug milk...well, she'll deal; she'll deal with strange food in general. It can't be that much different from the fae folk and others recipes...in theory.] Or New York, for that matter, so I guess we adjust while we're here, yeah?

[Izzy's face isn't schooled. Why bother, considering this is a friendly conversation, right? So, hearing that the hair (obviously magical) was done through a procedure here does interest Izzy. Hell, the curious part of her can't help but wonder what sort of procedure it was to alter what she can only assume are normal hair follicles and give them the ability to change color at will. It's not exactly something that she's familiar with, even if she's familiar with a number of things magically.] Well, this is easier than going and getting it re-colored any time you want to experiment, isn't it?

[Izzy jokes, with a gri before tilting her head.] The procedure that you had...is it a one time thing or is it something you'll have to go get done again? I love experimenting with my look too, so...can't help my curiosity! [Izzy winks playfully. She's interested,w hat can she say?

Maybe not in getting her hair done too because she'd much rather go for a do than a color, but still!]

Doesn't New York have like a billion different food blends and stuff? *Lola is basing this off rumor and a few of her friends who do travel and do get to see other places more than she does.*

Totally! And it means I don't have to redo my whole wardrobe to go with a new color. It's just a lot easier all around, unless I get distracted and my color changes on me.

*The fact that she did a weird alien procedure to change her hair forever, she doesn't get how it works, or what it might do if she ever goes home were totally not important! Mere details, no value focusing on them.* Oh, it's permanent, my new hair grows in with the same color changing. And I still had it when I wasn't myself. I... probably should look up how it works exactly, I'm mostly just happy it does work. It was really expensive, like too expensive without someone else paying for it.

*Someone sending her a free procedure she doesn't understand and is unlike anything from home also didn't set off alarm bells. But this is Lola, she seems perfectly happy.*

[The nod comes automatically, though, the small peel of laughter that escapes as she clarifies the positive answer to her question follows.] A lot, anyway, but I can't say I've ever come across bug milk. Even New York doesn't have everything. Though, we like to pretend we do.

[Izzy gives a joking shrug, her shoulders lifting just a couple of inches before settling back into place before she finds herself grinning. If the place that did her hair ever needs a spokesgirl, Izzy'd definitely suggest her without much hesitation.] All the fun and experimentation that you could want without the hassle that comes with it...even with the risk of distraction it sounds pretty great.

[Izzy isn't sure that she's willing to drastically change her own hair in such a permanent way, but...if she were in need of a change and interested...well, she could definitely see herself going with something like what Lola has gone with. Izzy's a little too fond of her hair as it is, though.] That's kind of amazing. [Izzy doesn't bother to pretend or act as if she's shy; she tilts her head--focused on the other girl's hair. She does bypass the comment about when she wasn't herself...if only because digging too much might be construed as rude...y'know considering they did just meet.] And, in the long run, it saves the money you'd spend on changing to whatever color you wanted at a given time. You really do pull off the bold color well, by the way. It looks great on you, so I guess it was really lucky on your part, it all paid off for you.

[Fashion, beauty, anything within that realm Izzy is never ashamed to dig into. And she's never shy about giving a well-deserved compliment either.] I'll have to dig around and look up the procedure. I don't think I'd ever go so bold myself, but I'm curious about how exactly it works.
