Who: Beverly Crusher and all you other fine redheads
Broadcast: Networkwide Video
Action: Blue Fish, Cargo Bay
When: Right after the shuffle!

[The video feed cuts on to show Beverly, grinning with amusement, though her tone remains professional as she addresses the fleet.] Attention, Drift Fleet! This is Dr. Crusher of the SS Blue Fish. [Sorry guys, it's going to be a while before she stops talking to the network like she's in Starfleet.] We've received an... interesting delivery here on board the Blue Fish that I think some of you will want to see.

[She steps back from the camera for a moment, revealing the Blue Fish's cargo bay, stacked floor to ceiling with crates of what looks like... shampoo? You'll also see the Blue Fish's intrepid Captain Sokka in the background, mouth open in angry shock about this intrusion into his cargo bay. Beverly walks over to the nearest crate and pulls out a bottle of shampoo to hold up closer to the camera. The shiny red bottle looks suspiciously similar to a certain famous salon brand of hair care products from late 20th or early 21st century Earth, if any of you happen to be familiar with that. "JOHN FLOOTER" is emblazoned prominently on the top along with the words "RESPLENDENT RED" in gold.]

In case you can't tell what is in the crates, it's shampoo, and tons of it.

[Her face pops back onscreen.]

Someone out there must really have a thing for redheads. [She waggles her eyebrows.] But who can blame them?

[She sets the shampoo back in its box before continuing.]

Of course, it's not all for just me and Kairi! They sent a list, which I'll upload onto the network, and if your name is on it, you can come by the Blue Fish at any time to pick up your gift. Or, if it's easier for you, just let me know and I'll bring your box by your ship at your earliest convenience. Thank you!

((ooc: if your character is a redhead, assume they're on the list. someone in the audience just really wanted an excuse for all the redheads to get together, okay???))

... That would be helpful, thanks.

No thanks necessary. We redheads have to stick together, right?

[coppermarigolds]

I... guess.

[Excuse her; she just thinks this is really weird.]

I don't think I really get this. Is this really going to be worth the time to go get it?

[interspace]

Oh, absolutely. Serious question here: how do you tend to keep your hair clean?

[ Someone who doesn't understand the value of shampoo, specialized shampoo especially, must have something else they do. She's curious. ]

[coppermarigolds]

Soap and water. I understand shampoo is supposed to be better somehow, but isn't it just fancy soap? And now this is an extra fancy type of fancy soap, I suppose. It just seems... excessive.

[interspace]

Fancy, specialized soap. It's kind of a... self-confidence/image thing? I mean, you know you're going to look your best with this kind of stuff. It's silly, but new clothes or a good hair day is a huge confidence boost.

[ There's an almost-verbal shrug. ]

Or maybe my society is incredibly shallow, but I totally find it worth it. Excessive it may be but all we're doing now is accepting what's already here.

[coppermarigolds]

[She sighs. She doesn't think she's particularly pretty -- decent looking, not bad, but not beautiful -- and her hair has always been a point of teasing.]

Does it make you look less ginger, then?

[Because that's not... actually... something she wants.]

[ Misha hears the tone and she sounds rueful in her reply. ]

Well, no, but nowadays it's something people are jealous of. They even dye their hair so it's red like ours. Either way... you don't have to, but it'd be nice. Try something new, right?

[coppermarigolds]

[She has to shake her head a little. Maybe red hair can be pretty in its own right, but something to be jealous of? Well. She'll take it.]

I won't complain. I'll... give it a try, at least. Maybe it will make a difference.

[interspace]

There you go! That can-try attitude is all you need. That said, I could always go on my own and bring some back, or you can come with. Whatever.

[coppermarigolds]

No, I'll come. I may as well. I... appreciate it.
