Maybe Coco's hair is that color because she's blonde but grew up washing her hair with water from the 'magic' spring in Ep1 and the magic just adds chlorine.
Vtuber fans really are pulling together to show support after the bad news about holostars downsizing huh?
good for Gabis Bottle, despite his pic he is a scrunggly wet cat of a jester who insists on making himself the butt of every joke. and I'm happy to see him get recognition (even if its just in a tumblr poll)

In the nurses office at SDN, Robert was trying his absolute best to ignore the fact that while he was putting his shirt back on, most of the Z team was listening in from the hallway.
"It's called erythema ab igne" The nurse explained.
"Nurse says he's not turning into a zombie!" Sonar's screech echoed from the hallway, followed by relieved cheers from his team of idiots.
Robert kept a completely professional face while the nurse paused, looked at the door, then apparently decided to follow Robert's lead and ignore them.
"Right. It's a type of rash, also known as 'toasted skin syndrome' and usually comes from prolonged exposure to low heat sources like a hot water bottle or a heating pad. Have you been making use of anything like that lately?"
Robert froze for a second, before answering, "…yes. I've been using a heating pad. It's been cold out."
Out in the hallway, Sonar's 'Ohohoho!' was clearly audible.
'What? What's she saying? Is it a new STD?'
'Please don't tell me our dispatcher is patient zero for a new mutant std!'
The nurse plowed ahead, "Well, try to give it a break and it should fade on its own. And in future try keeping use of your heating pad to an hour at a time."
"Understood."
"I can give you a cream to help speed up the process-"
"No need," Robert stood, tucking his shirt in. "Thanks for the help, I'll just get out of your hair." He speedwalked to the door, threw it open and pushed through the pile of Z-team members, dodging Golem's massive form and fleeing the hallway. Flambae followed.
He caught up to him outside the supply closet. "Why didn't you tell me this was a thing?" Robert hissed.
"Thing, what thing? I'm not a doctor why would I know this was a thing?
"A heat rash. Caused by extended skin contact against a heat source. You're telling me this hasn't happened with anyone else?"
"No! No one else has blamed me for giving them a rash, other than carpet burn but that was like in a sexy way!"
Robert groaned. He wanted to lean up against the wide, heaving chest in front of him giving off delicious heat but instead he leaned back.
"Really."
"Yes, Bob-Bob really! Anyway you said extended! Well no one's been around as long, not in my bed. Just you!" He huffed and turned away, crossing his arms. Robert just looked at him.
"Really. No one?"
"I said what I said, I won't say it again bitch."
"Okay. Sorry, I- you're gonna have to turn down the heat at night. At least while we're sleeping."
"Is that what the nurse said? That you should go back on crazy high pain meds all the time and stop sleeping with your boyfriend?"
"That's not what- we didn't get into it. Just that I need to stay away from heat for a while. Until my skin heals."
