Jam: Hey Dotty, how's this look?
Dotty: Good I think, you tempted to pick it up?
Jam: Not sure yet. Don't know if orange is a good color on me like this.
Dotty: You have a preference?
Jam: I'm big into reds and browns personally. Like a lot of stuff with a fur element you know?
Dotty: You got fancy tastes?
Jam: Nope, just cozy you know? I like how soft and warm that sort of thing is...
Dotty: I get that. You know it's usually pretty warm around here though right?
Jam: Yeah but there's still some winter and the sea breeze on the beach gets pretty chilly and all so... it has some use right?
Dotty: I guess that's fair. You have any clothes of your own?
Jam: Not really? But I get to input a lot on what Lex and I wear these days so that's something. Today I mostly got to pick though.
Dotty: That why you're rocking the white and blue hair?
Jam: Yeah. Lex likes it too but I think it's a nice dye option you know?
Dotty: Looks great honestly. You know I gotta wonder.
Jam: Hmm?
Dotty: Don't know if this is intrusive but uh... I mean I've been meaning to ask for awhile?
Jam: Go ahead, no worries.
Dotty: What's your natural hair color? Don't think I've seen you two every go a day without dyeing it.
Jam: Never?
Dotty: Wouldn't be able to tell honestly! Changes so often.
Jam: It's just brown. Like kind of a mid brown? Not super super dark but darker.
Dotty: I always figured it'd be blonde or maybe white or something.
Jam: Used to be lighter as a kid but it darkened up. Happens to a lot of us dops you know?
Dotty: Were you around when Lex was a kid?
Jam: Sorta? Like kind of dormant so... I have a lot of the same memories I guess? Aw jeez hold on...
Jam takes a look at the price tag of the jacket.
Dotty: Something wrong?
Jam: This is hella expensive.
Dotty: Jackets tend to be.
Jam: How does Lex have so many?
Dotty: She gets them thrift shopping. Guessing it's out of your budget?
Jam: I mean I could but that'd be like, all my money for this trip you know? Not up for that.
Dotty: I get you.
Jam: Like we wouldn't be able to do anything after. Gonna pass on that one.
Dotty: I feel you.
You look through the rack and find something a little closer to your price range.
Jam: You think this is good?
Dotty: That'd look cute on you, why?
Jam: Let me try this on. You tell me something about you too.
Dotty: Oh? Like what?
Jam: Like... what is your little mouth thingie? It's like a sticker right?
Dotty: It's a spray actually.
Jam: Yeah but what is it? Is it an overbite, a smile, what's the deal with that?
Dotty: It was supposed to be a smile with a gap between the middle teeth but everyone seems to think it's something different?
Jam: Huh. Was betting on it being an overbite.
Dotty: It's whatever you really want it to be. Used to have a mouth plate apparently but... I don't want it to just be a blank mouth you know? So I filled it in to have a smile similar to later rancher units.
Jam: Makes sense. So like... what are you supposed to be?
Dotty: Huh?
Jam: Like, you got these ears right? Are you supposed to be based on something?
Dotty: Oh! I mean... a cat technically? Like one of those weird grinning cats from the fairy tales.
Jam: Like that one book?
Dotty: Think so yeah. For some reason whoever designed a lot of constructs from the era I was made really was into that sort of thing. Fairly tales, especially ones that come from unknown origin.
Jam: Wild... it's a good look though. Cute.
Dotty: You think so? I got mixed feelings honestly but hearing someone say they like it always helps.
Jam: Yeah, it's really cool honestly.
You spend some time looking in the mirror.
Jam: You think this coat looks good?
Dotty: Turn around?
You do so.
Jam: How is it?
Dotty: Cute honestly. I dig it.
Jam: Nice.
Dotty: You wanna pick that up?
Jam: Honestly? Yeah. Especially if you like it.
Dotty: That's sweet...
Jam: You're sweet!
Dotty's turn away.
Dotty: Shit, I don't have a real comeback ready.
Jam: You just gonna take the compliment and run?
Dotty: Yeah. Yeah actually...
You reach for her hand. She accepts it.
Lex: Good, you deserve that.
