NO: And perhaps it isn't.

NO: That sentence didn't make any sense. I'll be back as soon as I retrieve a cup of coffee.
NO: Okay, but seriously. Let's just see if you can figure out what's keeping the dye from washing out. I'll give you five questions to which I will answer yes or no.

NO: It's just more fun to keep you in the dark.
NO: But if you really must know and take the fun out of it, if you lose you'll have to retrieve for me the certain thing I need for the dye, along with donating a good amount of your blood.
NO: After all, such a pretty color is completely wasted by just staying in your body.
NO: If you're a good sport then maybe I'll even make you something nice.
