The Den of Something, Thursday Afternoon

[sensethevisions]

Phoebe came in from class to find that the place seemed empty. She sat her books down and stretched her neck. Her math test had been a killer and she really wished the teacher was a demon so she would vanquish him with a clear conscience.

She sat down to start working on her homework and saw that she had new e-mail waiting for her.

She stared at the pictures.

"Oh my god!"

She reached for her phone and started dialing.



[[OOC: For a certain phone call, but anyone else who wants to call Phoebe, or any of the current residents of the Den are welcome]]

There must be some kind of way out of here, said the joker to the thief . . .

Anders looked at the caller ID on his phone and half-grinned, half-meeped.

"Um, hi, baby," he said as he picked up the call.

[sensethevisions]

"Your hair is blue."

[cantgetnorelief.livejournal.com]

". . . yes, it is." Anders wondered if giving his phone a puppydog face would have any effect, and tried it just for the hell of it. "Are you gonna kill me now?"

[sensethevisions]

"Your hair... is blue," she repeated. Then she flailed. "What did you do?!"

[cantgetnorelief.livejournal.com]

"I just dyed it, that's all," Anders said sheepishly. "Bridge's is green, and Troy thought it'd be fun to dye his purple, so I decided it'd be fun to dye mine blue . . . it'll wash out! Or I can dye it back if you really don't like it!"

He sounded just a tiny bit flaily himself -- okay, a lot flaily. "Phoebe? You're not mad, are you?"

[sensethevisions]

"Shocked... not mad... you look different."

[cantgetnorelief.livejournal.com]

"Different in a bad way?" he asked, giving his phone another puppydog face for good measure. "Am I going to have to dye it back if it doesn't wash out by Homecoming?"

That sort of set him off on a tangent. "I really miss you, you know."

[sensethevisions]

"You don't have to dye it back if you like it, sweetie," Phoebe said softly into the phone. "I miss you, too. But We'll be there to see you again soon."

[cantgetnorelief.livejournal.com]

"Can't wait to see you," Anders said. "I really want to come out and see you guys, too."

[sensethevisions]

"We really want you to come out, too, sweetie. We both miss you so much."

[cantgetnorelief.livejournal.com]

Anders looked up at the ceiling and grinned. "So is there a place for me to stay if I do come out and visit? And just so you know, the second I see you at Homecoming you might not get me to let go for about an hour."

[sensethevisions]

"There definitely will be," she promised. "And I think we can handle that."

[cantgetnorelief.livejournal.com]

Anders grinned again. "So how are classes going? And is the place still standing? With Bel and Veronica both there, and Piper, I'm kind of worried about that. And, um, speaking of your sister, she sort of threatened to blow me up again . . ."

Cole wandered into the room, done with his own classes for the day. "Hey, sweetheart," he said, leaning over Phoebe's shoulder and giving her a kiss on the cheek. "What are you looking at -- what the hell?"

[sensethevisions]

"It's blue. His hair... it's blue."

[demonbelthazor]

"Is this some kind of new plague at Fandom?" Cole said, unconscious running his fingers through his own hair.

[sensethevisions]

Phoebe shook her head. "He did it to himself."

[demonbelthazor]

Cole blinked. "Did he lose his mind?" he exclaimed.

[sensethevisions]

"He, Bridge and some guy named Troy all dyed their hair."

[demonbelthazor]

"But . . . why?" Cole said, still staring at the pictures.

[sensethevisions]

"Because they thought it would be fun? Anders said Troy wanted purple hair and somehow they decided blue hair was for Anders." She looked up at him. "He said he'll dye it back before Homecoming."

[demonbelthazor]

"Who's this Troy guy?" Cole grumbled.

[sensethevisions]

Phoebe shrugged. "New friend of his, I guess. Probably one of the new students."

[demonbelthazor]

". . . or that jackass doctor who looks like me?" Cole said, already entertaining ideas that Anders had thrown him over for the nearest look-a-like.

[sensethevisions]

Phoebe gave him a look. "Cole... he doesn't like that doctor any more than I do." She shook his head. "He loves you."
