 Going Green (Eliot, Pod 7)

Piper's roots had started showing and it irritated her. Blonde... Why did she have to be blonde?

Well, she didn't HAVE to be. Locking the bathroom door, she commenced to dying her hair, deciding to stick with the toxic green she had become rather fond of.

Of course, that meant the tub was temporarily stained green... And that there were green hairs in the bathroom.

Normally, she would clean up, but she suddenly recalled her first - and really only - conversation with her Podmate. A slow smile touched her lips. Plucking a few of her freshly dyed hairs from her head, she set them down...

On Eliot's side of the bathroom.

Through Piper's process of colouring her hair, Eliott had been reading patiently on the sofa, as she usually did if she was in.

She really needed to pee....

This was taking so long! Why was this taking so long?!

After what she assumed was MUCH TOO LONG, Eliott would throw her magazine to the side and stomp her way towards their shared bathroom and knock loudly.

"HEY! ARE YOU DONE YET!?"

She's going to explode.

She couldn't help but snicker. Eliot had been patient, which surprised her, so when she yelled through the door, Piper went a bit easy on her.

Normally, the bathroom was perfect. Piper hated mess. She hated anything being out of place. But with a wicked grin, she left behind the green.

The green everywhere.

Eliott would take but one peek inside before shrieking.

"WHAT IS THIS UNGODLY MESS?! OH MY GOD IT'S EVERYWHERE!"

She may actually hate the colour green, now.

Sitting on the floor in her bedroom, she continued to lightly dry her hair with a towel, chuckling.

She had done fairly well at not pissing her Podmate off, but it was just too damn easy.

"Oh yeah. About that. I'll clean it up, don't worry," she called back, casually.

"You expect me to navigate through this mat of hair in the meantime?!" she asks incredulously.

She goes to take a step in because...she really has to go.

But just the hair in the doorway is causing her worry.

"THIS IS UNACCEPTABLE!"

She couldn't contain her laughter, then. She was grinning rather obviously, moving around her bedroom to get dressed.

"What's wrong, Eliot?" She asked, feigning innocence. "I normally keep the bathroom so clean!"

"You do!" she agrees, clinging to the door like she's worried the hair will attack her.

"What is your malfunction today?!"

There was a brief moment where Piper actually contemplated her question. Finally wearing a loose shirt and a pair of knickers, she opened her door and looked over at Eliot.

"You have control issues, mate," she snickered. "You treat everyone like your robots."

"And it has been a mostly pleasant experience so far!"

Why'd she have to ruin it?

"I'm not one of your robots, El," she said, purposefully shortening her name to prove a point.

"I wouldn't mind being your friend. But I'm not your tool."

"I don't recall ever having a use for you."

Other than a maid, but that's more like taking advantage of her being a clean freak.

She narrows her eyes.

"Friend."

This is the most friend requests she's ever had in her life.

"We live together, mate. We're probably going to end up having to work together." She smirked slightly. "We don't have to be friends, but we need to at least be able to do those two things."

"I was living with you comfortably until you made a mess. In fact I think I found you the least irritating."

Maybe.

"But now you're a tier lower than Mark!"

And no one in this pod beats Angel.

"See, that's part of the problem. I was the least irritating. We live together, mate. It shouldn't be most or least irritating."

She chuckled, thinking about Mark. She hadn't really gotten on with him until recently, either. Maybe that was what inspired this.

"Then what are you proposing?" she crosses her arms.

Even if they come to an agreement, this hair transgression would not be ignored. She was going to send....

an angry letter...

Later.

"A compromise." She gave a little shrug, even going as far as to walk into the bathroom and freeing a rag from beneath the sink, wetting it before continuing. "Give us a chance. Or, at least, give me a chance. I don't know if you'll ever get along with Angel."

She chuckled at that thought, moving to wipe down the specks of green. "Don't yell at me. Don't treat me like I'm inferior, or some sort of legion for you. We don't have to get along like we've known each other all our lives, but something."

Eliott's eyes narrow, but it seems more like a discomfort thing.

"That is a very difficult request."

Not yelling or being condescending was like asking her to drop an accent.

"I don't expect it to be easy. I'd just like you to try. At least with the people you're living with."

She turned back to look at the girl, still wiping down the counter.

"What do you say, El?"

"Sure..."

Was she supposed to give her a nickname, too? That's a friendship thing.

"Pipes."

More discomfort.

"But only in your case. I can't promise to keep my cool around the other two."

Pipes.

Pipes.

Okay.

Despite herself, she laughed, giving a shake of her head. Okay, then. Pipes it was. It was better than some other names she had been given.

"They'll just have to be clever enough to figure out how to get through to you. If they don't have the wits, its not my problem."

She winked, clearing the hair into the trash can. If Eliott needed to pee, however, she would have to deal with the green tub.

It would be distracting, but, as long as it wasn't touching her she'd just have to survive.

"Mm. Wits."

Those two? Hah.

She'd remain quiet as she thought for a moment before piping up again.

"Inquiry request."

She motioned for the girl to go ahead as she finished up, rinsing the rag out in the sink.

Eliott's starting to do a bit of a dance from the water running.

Damn iiiit. Hurry up.

"What is your motivation for being here?"

Turning off the water, Piper tossed the rag into the tub. She'd get to that later.

Glancing at Eliott, she reminded herself she was trying to be friends with this girl. She needed to be at least a little honest with her.

"I don't know, yet. I just know I'm supposed to be here."

Then, she chuckled, turning and starting to walk back to her bedroom. "If you want to know, ask after you've been relieved. You've been waiting a while."
