[Red is at home so she isn't wearing her duster or hat, but she seems to be wearing a pair of sunglasses. They're pretty cool looking, like they're out of some steampunk convention. Did that negate the "cool" adjective? Well, that's all perspective. Either way, she's wearing sunglasses indoors.

As she makes the following request, she tries not to sound excited but she's still a pretty giddy about having glasses that correct her color blindness, it's pretty sweet. Helps in tracking people down when you're told they have purple hair and are driving a green car, plus, flowers are just dang pretty.]

Howdy. Got a simple request: what're yer favorite colors? Examples included'll be much appreciated.

Bit'a silly request, but reckon I ain't got nothin' better ta do. Ain't got a job no more.

[That's right, no more Roomba inspecting, boohoo.]

An' authorities ain't called me to do some bad guy huntin' fer a couple'a days now. Might as well do somethin' frivolous fer a half hour or so.

Are those Winry's design? Do they work? Man, that's just awesome! Color, right, right, uh.

[screen tilts away for a moment. There's a rustling of paper, then he tilts it back up to show a piece of paper. On the paper is a luminescent blue smear, like a bit of ink has been fingerpainted down the center of the otherwise clean white sheet.]

Alright, not my favorite color, per se, but cool nonetheless. It's called Kaiju Blue.

[redplainsrider]

Yessir, it is. [She adjusts them.] Well, I told her what I wanted 'em to look like, the style's sort'a like what's popular back home. But she were the one to make 'em fer me.

[She perks up at the blue.]
Ho! Looks like Croach! I'm awful fond'a those blues.

[driftsintobuffetline]

Oh, nice. Yeah, those look awesome. Very steam-punk/Jules Verne-ish.

What's a Croach?

[Before he turns on the video he texts a link to this, and then...]

Me green, conveniently, definitely my favourite colour.

[redplainsrider]

[She watches the video before recording a reply. It actually amuses her, because she always thought men in bars wearing sunglasses always looked the fool, but when she replies she keeps a straight face:]

You are a mighty fine shade of green, feller, but the glasses are what're helpin' me to see just how fine of a green ya are.

[animalage]

Oh, those are those awesome colourblindess correcting glasses? I remember when videos of people wearing those were going viral. [Perks of being from the future.]

Man, that's so cool! Definitely cooler than wearing sunglasses at night.

[ Oh, Red. Red, Red. Rick is looking so disappointed. She has so much potential, so much skill -- and she's wasting it asking these silly questions? ]

This is what you're doin'?

[redplainsrider]

[She sees and hears the disappointment but doesn't get why it's there. So much confusion.]

Somethin' wrong with sittin' an' gabbin'?

[biteouttagrimes]

Just think you could be doin' so much more. Just think you got so much goin' for you -- it's a waste to be wastin' time like this.

BLUE!

Video until further notice

[redplainsrider]

[Chuckles.]

Rather fond'a blue myself, but maybe not as much as you. Any particular blue?

also permavid now

[buildsfriends]

SHADE OF ME!

Or I mean any kind of blue, but like. Actual blue. Not green blue. Like the kind of blue you would use when you want to look at something and go, "Yes. Yes that is definitely blue." That kind.

[resipiscent]

[Colours, huh...?]

Blue is pretty nice. Purple.

Why do you ask?

[redplainsrider]

Blue seems ta be the most popular so far. Reckon I can't fault no one, it's a purty color. Any particular blue'r purple?

Askin' 'coz I ain't been able to see many colors in my life, an' now I can so I'm feelin' a mite curious an' greedy to see more.

[resipiscent]

Mm, not really. I like most of them.

[There's a pause.] Oh, I went to the hardware store yesterday with a friend of mine, and they have these things called 'paint chips'. Basically it's a preview of different colours you can buy. If you want to see colours, that's where you should go.

[akito]

Red, like blood fresh out of a wound.

[redplainsrider]

Well, then.

[Bit of a pause.]

That weren't a creepy answer or nothin'.

[akito]

Tch! You asked for examples, and there are a ton of shades of red but there's only one like that!

[excitababble]

Finding out people's favorite colors is the kind of thing you do to pass the time?

[redplainsrider]

Usually, no, but my boyfriend ain't around right now an' I just recently got the skill'a seein' colors like most regular folk, so reckoned to myself why not?

[excitababble]

[ A beat. ]

Color blind?

[seekingsestra]

[Battle of the thick accents!]

I like pink.

[redplainsrider]

[Who will win in this battle of accent wills.]

First pink'a the night. Any certain kind'a pink?

Video

[shiniestmeatbicycle]

[Krieg stares down the camera for a minute, twitching...before slowly raising his buzzaxe in front of the camera lens.

It's dripping with deep red blood.]

[redplainsrider]

[She has no idea how to respond to this. Should she get mad like at a dog that wet the rug, or disturbed, or.]

Well, uh...Well, that's a second vote fer blood red.

But...where exactly're ya gettin' that stuff, hombre?
