Getting a Makeover (Partially Open)

OOC: This may be jumping the gun on my storyline a little... but I'm assuming after Eris learns of the registration act she's going to try and slip undercover... so here's her attempt.

Katran slowly walked down the street. Things were bad enough with what was going on in her psyche, let alone all of the dangers outside of it. But those dangers were very real. The government was slapping bracelets on mutants or throwing them in the clink, and Eris didn't want either of that. Thankfully for her, she hadn't been caught yet... but one never can tell when one's time will come.

So she had to be careful.

As she continued her walk, she headed for the shopping district of the city, (which was just about everywhere... as she thought more about it.) She decided to hit up a JCPennys and get some new clothes. After all, this bright red dress wasn't all that quiet, and she didn't want to be noticed in the slightest especially not by the Sentinels.
Speaking of which, a cold chill swept down her spine as she spotted what she assumed to be a Sentinel not more than a hundred yards down the street from her. She quickly ducked into a nearby alley and waited for the thing to pass. Whew! That was way too close. She had to make sure she wasn't spotted, and who knows if there were alerts out on her already. She couldn't be like this anymore.

She slipped into the store and quickly found some new dressed. They were black and pretty looking. Some quite attractive and others meant not to attract any attention. She tried them all on and bought the ones that fit. She wasn't fussy about this piece of clothing or that, all she needed right now was something besides this red dress.

Next she went to the casual section of the store. She grabbed several pairs of jeans and shirts to match. She didn't want to look off color after all... she needed to match some things at least. After buying the jeans and shirts and picking out some jewelry to go with it, her wardrobe makeover was complete... now she wouldn't stick out as much.

She slipped into a pair of blue jeans and a black sleeveless shirt and walked out of the store, glad to be free of it's rich atmosphere... she would much rather be alone in her house than with a ton of people in a shopping center. Thus were the ways of Katran Kjaer... or maybe simply of Eris. Either way, it was definitely her.

Now to do something about this flaming red hair.

She dropped by a local drug store and found some hair dye in the back aisle. Perfect. She didn't quite know how to apply it, but it looked easy enough so she would do it herself.

She quietly walked home. It was a long and dreary walk, one that she would not want to have to take again. It was not only boring, but scary, so she hated it. Fear was one of those things that now crept deep into the heart of Katran. Ever since the abduction she had felt different, and far more afraid. The Eris that had been was not the Eris of today. She could control herself better, and had a much better head on her shoulders. And she had fear.

After passing her own tight security, she entered her home for the first time in months. She noticed the perimeter had never been breached and apparently they hadn't gotten around to searching for her here yet. It appeared that private property rights still did exist in America, even if the government's policy on mutants was rough.

After fiddling with the instructions Katran painfully applied the solution to her hair. After taking a cold shower, "Viola!", dark brown hair.

She stared at the new Eris in the mirror. More confined. More protected. More afraid.

She didn't know how she felt about the makeover, but now she was undercover compared to her last outfit. Her appearance would make her less conspicuos if nothing else. The jeans and shirt and dark hair Eris was the Eris of the day.

Darn it.

She closely inspected the monitors to insure no one had braeched the area. She hadn't been followed... as far as she knew.


OOC: Anybody can go ahead and join this... maybe they followed her home. It would be good to get some more RPing with other characters... so if your character is free... feel free to join.
