Jam Goes on a Date: Aftermath
Comorant, Crankshaft Rafflesian
CW: None
Jam continues their date with Dotty.

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.
