3 option [BBS] included

[fierybluebird]

[There are 3 options and places you might find Marco today.

First, there just happens to be a certain vibrant blue phoenix hanging out in the quad "meditating" and trying to keep calm for the past month. Seems the Commander of Cool for once is having troubles staying composed. It's hard to study for a field test and as excited as he is, he has a lot more laying on the line than he has had for nearly a year and a half. There's a deck of Triple Triad next to him, and far more books than belong anywhere outside of the library, but he seems to be going through them.

Secondly, on the 26th, he's raiding the nurses' office and infirmary to steal needles and tools of sterilization.

Later on, it looks like he's setting up orange ink into very very clean needle tubes... for those who'd know; it looks like he's setting up a miniature tattoo parlor. Now what could that possibly be about?

And then there's this BBS message. Oh. So that that's what it's about.]

Tattoos

When done right, they are a mark of pride, much like a pirate flag. [Oh dear, someone's criminal roots are showing.] They symbolize something important to you, something that even if you magically live another thousand years, you will still want to show off for what it meant to you when you got it, and what it means to you even now. Something you want people to know how strongly the thing it represents affects you.

Something to think about. I've got the ink if you've got the guts.

[Quick... get in on that before the man shuts him down. And on the last day before his exam too, tsk tsk.]

Where?

[PM]

[fierybluebird]

Wherever you want. But if it's ass or tits, don't tell my fiance. She's the jealous type.

I'll be outside somewhere I can hide the treasure box of inks.

Which is truly a shame. First off because that will only lead to regrets, and one should never do something they'll regret.

And secondly because it diminishes the meaning for the other people who have something important represented.

[swagneto]

A mark of pride? I would think not.

[fierybluebird]

Oh? Why's that?

...you're kidding.

BBS

[fierybluebird]

Dead serious.

[Deadpan serious maybe.]

[bentbowarcher.livejournal.com]

[Welp, since this was pretty much all inspired by him, he might as well show up, right? He's not afraid of any needles, and Marco's BBS only encourages his decision to go through with this.]

[And he's made improvements to his initial request]

I want my tattoo to include a spade.

[He holds out a simple drawing (http://i.imgur.com/HjVif.png) of a spade with the Taurus symbol in the center]

Humans fail to understand our passion as it is. I don't want them thinking I'm red for him.

[fierybluebird]

[Nods his head and gets out some black ink as well.] A Spade it is, eh.

You know the Ace of Spades is the death card? My best friend -- moirail -- that's the one with the diamond where you keep each other from killing everyone else, right? My moirail was named Ace so he made his crew the Spade pirates. Okay, this might sting a little. [Just a bit he says hahaha.]

[greeneyedmecha.livejournal.com]

Oh, man, why couldn't you wait until next April!

[fierybluebird]

Why next April?

you made her day, Marco

[notthestars.livejournal.com]

YAY \o/

[fierybluebird]

Really? What for?

[betweenpaths.livejournal.com]

[What in the world]

There are better ways to be proud of something than defacing your body with a tattoo.

[fierybluebird]

No, there aren't.

You just said the right things.

[makeashowofit.livejournal.com]

My ship isn't here so, I don't have my flag.

[Does any more need to be said?]

XDDD

[fierybluebird]

How convenient then that you can wear your flag on your chest in the form of a tattoo. [As he does.]

[bbs]

[atouchofstrife.livejournal.com]

Done for the right reasons? Like when your best friend drags you to a tattoo shop after getting you wasted just to make sure that your birthday is completely special?

S.

[bbs]

[fierybluebird]

No, that would be a wrong reason. Albeit hilarious for your friend.

What are you doing?

[fierybluebird]

Tattoos. [Has no realization it's the same firebird as before.]

[polariity.livejournal.com]

<sub>[Being the absolute nerd that he is, the Psiioniic has actually read up on tattoos. If this were some six hundred sweeps ago, he never would have thought about them- more important things to think about. Like being on the run.

But now... Well, color him interested.

That's why there's a troll hobbling along on crutches, right in Marco's direction. Once he's there, he flops next to the miniature parlor with an annoyed grunt. After catching his breath, he looks up at the human.]</sub>

How well doeth your ink thtay in thkin that ith thcared?

<sub>[...Goddamn lisp. The reason for him asking is more than apparent when he hesitantly pushes up the sleeve of his shirt. Along with some thin ones along the side of his face, there are other scars all along his hands and arm. They're heavier at his hands, and consist of twisting curved scars.

Biowiring is a bitch.]</sub>

[fierybluebird]

[Luckily, lisps aren't really a problem for Marco. He's got his own verbal tic and he believes in struggling to get down to the mean rather than get hung up on the exact words used. Which is also how he understand Gakupo's backwards typing like it's normal. He's a freak.]

Permanently, mate. So whatever you want for a design, it better be something important. [Points to his own chest proudly displaying his tattoo.] I've had this ever since I got it, and that was a lot longer ago than I'm allowed to admit to.

[ACTION]

[redcinemareel]

A wonderful entry, my dearest. [Standing right behind him, arms crossed with a soft smile.] You'll surely gain a following with words of such grandeur.

[ACTION]

[fierybluebird]

[GRINS.] You think so Kitten?

SUDDENLY, DOG.

[lassiedyne.livejournal.com]

[That's...And odd smell he's picking up. It's sort of like a sort of soapy, saturated smell, alternating between crisp and really wet and heavy. Either way, it's grabbed Koromaru by the nose and is leading him straight towards the temporary parlor. He's nosing around the floor, and trying to investigate the tops of any counters, tables, or stands...Although that's a bit of a lost cause, given his height.

Still, such smells must be investigated, after all.]

AWESOME :D

[fierybluebird]

[Holds out a gentle fist for the pup to sniff. Marco loves dogs. Especially white ones that remind him of Stefan, his Pops' dog.]

Here Pooch.
