no_ufo_ending | Room 014 [video]

_{[This is not the first time Henry has broadcast from the branches of a tree. This is, however, the first time he seems genuinely happy to be in one. There's something different about the normally reclusive photographer. He's got a head full of brilliant orange hair courtesy of the Halloween section in one of the little marts in town. The spray has made it stiff so it's sticking out in every direction. It matches the foliage behind him quite nicely.]

[He hasn't told anybody about this, having snuck out early in the morning to begin what will probably end up getting both his and Heather's asses kicked by a particular grumpy space robot.]

[If he can catch them.]

[He's got the 'gear angled up at his face and high above him, Burger the glameow is lazing on one of the thinner branches. Several bright green threads are draped around him and he seems pretty happy as well.]}

Watanuki, I got some yarn-- it's going to have to be all one color though. Burger destroyed the second color I got. Is one, uh, bundle of it enough? I need your address.

_{[He pauses and looks thoughtful. A leaf drifts down and sticks to his hair.]}

I sure am glad I blend in now so no giant birds can carry me off.

_{[ :I Oh, he knows what's coming. But he says that as straight-faced as ever. No, Ironhide, he is not dropping this.]}

[Ooohh a prank. Envy approves of pranks! He hasn't met any space robots yet, but that sounds like a suitably impressive person to pull something on.]

Yeah? What kind of prank is it?

Heather and I are trying to convince this robot guy that human hair changes color with the seasons to protect us from predators.

_{[He plucks the leaf out of his hair to show Envy what a good job he had done. Awh yeah.]}

[Okay that gets a laugh out of him. Especially because Henry, your hair.]

Heh, that's pretty good! Is he falling for it?

We had him earlier but he hasn't replied to this video yet. I'm just glad he's not actually in town.

Space robots don't take too well to pranks, huh?

[Which actually makes whoever the victim is an even better prank target as far as Envy's concerned.]

...what kind of dye is that in your hair, anyway? [Envy has not been introduced to the wonders of Halloween spray dye.]

We'll have to see.

_{[Henry pinches a tuft of his hair and pulls his fingers away to frown at the dusty orange on them. It looks like he just took a bath in cheetos.]}

It's not really dye--it's just spray. You can find it in some of the marts that have rubber masks. There are a lot of colors.
