a bad hair treatment leaves Genesis hair pink
It’s technically not even pink! It’s a deep, warm cherry tone that resulted from a treatment that reacted unexpectedly with his natural auburn in a way that any reasonable person would describe as an interesting color variation rather than an incident. It’ll be gone by the next wash and is, objectively, not a big deal. Unfortunately, he works with teenage boys, and men. So naturally it has become the scandal of the week™
Kunsel: Looking good, Commander! Very tasteful. That’s approximately #99004C if I had to call it.
Genesis: Do you just casually have hex codes memorized?
Kunsel: No, it’s because my hair is the exact same colour right now actually.
*Genesis looks at the helmet, doubtful and suspicious*
Kunsel: I’d take the helmet off to show you, but I’ve been told I’m dangerously attractive and can’t risk the distraction in a working environment.
Sephiroth: Genesis, unnatural hair colours are a violation of the SOLDIER dress and presentation code.
Genesis: What about your hair, Sephiroth, what natural category does that fall under??
Sephiroth: Silver occurs naturally. It’s present in certain blond variations, premature graying, and old age.
Genesis: So let me understand this correctly. I have a temporary treatment effect that has left a subtle rose tone in my hair that will be gone by Saturday, and I’m in violation. But you—you specifically—get to be the only person in this entire unit walking around with hair that color with no consequences whatsoever??
Sephiroth: Of course not. Just yesterday Kunsel told me that he too has silver hair.
*Genesis slowly turns toward Kunsel*
Angeal: Oh, come on. Pink hair? Why couldn’t you just choose a natural color like black?
Genesis: First of all, it’s temporary. Second of all, black hair is boring.
Angeal: Wow. That’s incredibly offensive to black-haired people like me and Kunsel over here.
Cloud: Wow, sir! Cool hair! I’d totally dye mine a fun color too, but I’m blond. It’d stain and you can’t really get an even tone with my natural color.
Kunsel: I totally get you. I have blond hair like yours too. Huge hassle.
Genesis: Kunsel, stop maintaining an ongoing lie in which your hair changes color depending on who you’re speaking to. What’s the point in—WHY ARE YOU BALD??
Zack: I shaved mine to match Kunsel :)
Genesis: I’m surrounded by lunatics.
Sephiroth: Says the only man here with pink hair.
