So one day, I go to dress up and realize something odd. I own tons of makeup, but only one lipstick. A pale pink that doesn’t show up at all. Boring. Mental note, buy a goshdarn color that POPS for fancy outings when I feel bold and stuff. So next time I go shopping, I find a color that looks cool and toss it in and don’t give it much thought.
Until next time I shop. I think “well, that color was still kinda conservative, I wouldn’t mind having something even bolder for really wild days” so in goes another.
And the next time.
By the time I am dressing up to go out again, I realize that I own 20,005 lipsticks. Four in the shade that I suddenly decided was my signature color. One is brown. One is black. One looks like the black one, but is actually bright red (and it is really annoying when those two get mixed up!). One is orange. One is the pale pink one. One is the same color as my skin. The rest are pretty much the same shade of bright, cherry red.
I DON’T EVEN LIKE WEARING LIPSTICK.
LIPSTICK is taking OVER

“Good day, Ensign!”
“Ummmmm…good…day? Are you visiting? I’m sure that Captain Nyco will be up soon, if you’re looking for her…”
“What…are you talking about? I am Captain Nyco!”
“…no? Is this a test, Ma’am? Please…just wait for the Captain to get up. I’m sure that she can help you.”
I AM THE CAPTAIN.

Yep, she was hungry! She calmed down and then had nice poop a few days later. I decided to try a ra.t for this weekend feeding, and she took it! I also gave her a new cardboard hide. She loves her cheez-it box >< Someday, I will get her a proper hide, but she can at least get her belly heat in the cheez it box. Also, I got to watch her eat, she didn’t wait for me to leave this time! She doesn’t strike, never has. She noses her food all over first, for several minutes, before opening her mouth and biting.
