First Selfie [@lolococo416: Video]

[threatenwithcuteness]

*Lola starts the video off by... adjusting her hair and checking her make-up. Not that she needs to do much but brush a few strands of her bangs back into place. She leans back, clearly at the Sunset Diner in one of the booths. Must be slow, doesn't sound like many people are there.*

I just had a great idea! I mean, not 'get us home great,' I really don't know how I got here, so I am totally the wrong person for getting us home. But it's still a great idea.

*Lola's at least projecting a lot of energy and excitement, that's for sure.*

I was thinking since we're all from different worlds, maybe we should all share something nice we miss from home. Not a personal thing, I mean, you can if you want. Just... a part of your world you feel is very unique to it. Or unique to your life at home.

Sort of a get to know each other game. If you're not comfortable doing your own video I can totally help film and edit it after so you don't have to be nervous over flubbing lines or knocking over salt shakers to the floor or anything.

*How oddly specific of you Lola.*

At least, I can help after my shift. But this place is super dead right now. So I don't think my boss would mind. Especially if you order something!

*Lola blows a kiss to her camera before reaching over and shutting it off.*

And here I thought only clothes could be dyed colors like that.

[Between the technology of this place and the people, he's definitely getting a crash course in the twenty-first century.]

Well, maintaining hair in a color like this is a lot more work than maintaining clothes, and if you do it wrong it takes a lot longer for hair to grow back.

You can always just... buy a new blouse if dyeing it goes wrong.

[ragnarsson]

Huh. Good to know.

[He's learned far more about unnatural colored hair than he ever wanted to know.]

What's your name?

[threatenwithcuteness]

*She is a fountain of information nobody really needs.*

Oh, I'm Lola. Lola Pacini. And you?

[ragnarsson]

Interesting name. I'm Ivar Ragnarsson. Sometimes called Ivar The Boneless.

[Hence his username on the network. His father had a horrible sense of humor to saddle him with that nickname for the rest of his life.]

[threatenwithcuteness]

Well, Lola is short for something, but nobody ever calls me that.

*She does have to consider that nick name, there's a pause as she decides how to delicately ask.*

That sort of nickname has to have a story behind it, is it awful?

[ragnarsson]

Just a little bit awful. I'm a cripple, and when I was born, my father took one look at my legs, and said it was like I was boneless. Unfortunately for me, when my father gave a nickname to something, it tended to stick. I've got a brother he called Ironsides.
