Enough is Enough

The silvernette sat still with a drape over her shoulders and chest, her friend standing behind her as she tilted her head backwards onto a basin, which was now colored deeply in black from the dye flowing through it. In the desk near them was a folded piece of paper, something that contained information that was supposedly valuable... Rita scoffed, almost, how much trouble she went through just for this, and how careful she was being now... She wanted to shake her head, but even the slightest twitch caused a grunt and a light smack from the waitress behind her.

"Stay still, Rinya-dono, I can't dye your hair without you staying put." The silvernette chuckled at this. "Fine, fine... are you almost done, at least?" She was curious how it was going to turn out, but a sound from Kristina's vocal chords indicated that it'd still be a little while before it was ready. Rita sighed, thinking about all that she needed to do now... all her plans. Was she putting everyone in danger with this? Was it bad of her to go about her schemes while not considering how others might feel about it? Yeah... maybe so. Even then, she couldn't stop now. There were plenty of things she needed to explain to others for them to understand, she didn't expect it to be as easy as people following her unconditionally.

"Ah, there we go, finished. You look completely different, Rinya-dono... well, now I guess I should call you something else, huh?" Rita shook her head, waiting for the towel that was drying her hair and the drape to be lifted before getting up herself and opening her eyes, now colored brown... it was impressive what contacts could do. "I want to see myself first, then I'll decide on a name." Taking small steps, the... former silvernette, yes, took a blanket off a full-body mirror, looking at herself in the eyes... impressive. Truly impressive. A few tufts of hair lay around the chair she was sitting on previously as well, so this was quite a change.

"I... wasn't expecting it to be this different. Kristina... you did an amazing job."

Turning around, Rita smiled before moving to another room and closing the door, ruffling sounds being heard from the inside. Kristina, while this was going on, picked up a broom and started to clean up the rest of the hair, Rita herself dusting any remains off with a small brush inside the room as she got dressed. "I don't think anyone will be able to recognize you like this... won't it be sad, though? All your friends won't even notice you..." As the door swung open, a chuckle could be heard from it. "I know who my friends are, Kristina. They only need to know me, not Rita." With a small swing in front of her, the brunette brandished a shiny knife, eyeing it in the cold light of the lamp above them. She wasn't used to wielding real weapons... but her sword was too suspicious now.

"The only name they need to know is Kusanagi Shion. For all intents and purposes, Rita Arisato is missing. I'm tired with dealing with things from the shadows... so hiding in plain sight suits me just fine."
