I have apparently completely lost my sense of humor...

Or maybe it's just the precognitive hangover. Either way, I didn't find this latest prank particularly funny.

Practicing pop psychology via hair dye. What on earth are the little darlings going to come up with next?

I tend to agree with you, Nathan, but I suspect my own history may have something to do with that.

Having had the experience of being suddenly turned blue, in a non-reversible and permanent fashion, has rather rendered me unable to think of it as funny. It seemed to me rather cruel, in fact, and certainly profoundly insensitive. Knowing I am biased, however, I thought I had better not comment in Kyle's journal.

Clarice is purple, Hank. She may share your perspective there, just a bit, I sorta kinda... have to point out.

Which may have been the entire point she was attempting (and I think succeeded in making) with Kyle and his current predicament regarding the more visible aspects of his mutation. She's ideally placed to nudge him that much closer to self-acceptance. Just like you are. :)

That this is coming from both peers his own age, in their own way and adults, again in their own way, is a good thing.

*nods* Exactly. If it had come from any of the other kids, then there might have been greater cause for concern. AS I said to Nathan, Clarice was in exactly the same situation after she first got here, and she's come a very long way. Unless there's indication from Kyle he's taking this far more personally than he has so far, I don't think we have a problem.

That being said... you sound like you need company and chocolate. I have little marshmallows... *tempts* And did you think that maybe Clarice's choice of colour might be a homage to two very wonderful blue gentleman? ;)
