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.]

Good.

You don't have to worry. They are more important than anything. They're thimple ath well.

[Pen and paper are for losers. Psionics are the way to go, clearly. So alternating blue and red energy begins to form in the air, forming three symbols. He points to the first two- a ♍ and a ♌.]

I would like thothe on my left writht. The latht one- [He points to the ♋] On my right.

[There's a small beat, and then he remembers, oh right, manners.]

If you could, pleathe.

[Sticks his tongue out in thought. He's going to have to be extra fucking careful to avoid certain veins and pain centers. So he taps to places on Sollux's wrists.]

Here, here and and here? [And then sketches them down anyway. Sol might have his psionics, but Marco doesn't trust him to be able to keep up the concentration.] Not gonna lie mate, that's gonna hurt like a bitch. Usually someplace more fa-- [fatty, but gosh he's going to rephrase that.] less slim is less painful, eh. You sure you want that?

[polariity.livejournal.com]

They will be worth it.

_{[That's all he'll say on that. Hell, this will probably be one of the least painful things he's done for the people these signs represent.]}

The areath are correct.

[fierybluebird]

Understood mate. So those are the colors you want? Blue and red? Or are there any others?

[Sterilizes all the needles again just in case and gets out the assorted ink colors.]

[polariity.livejournal.com]

No. Red and blue only for the one on the right. The other two... Green. The 'm' ith a little brighter than the other thign.

[fierybluebird]

So the other two are green, but the M is a yellower green?

[Oh complicated.]

[polariity.livejournal.com]

Like a... jade. That wath her bloodcolor.

[fierybluebird]

Sparkles maybe? Hm...

I'll see what I can do.

[polariity.livejournal.com]

Thank you very much.

They are... important to me.

[fierybluebird]

Heh, I'm glad, eh. That's how tattoos should be done. All right, this going to hurt a bit, like I said, eh. [Starts inking Sollux up B)]

[polariity.livejournal.com]

<sub>[The Psiioniic will just do his best to stay silent during the entire process via a little ol' tactic known as 'biting his tongue'. At least this is less painful than being used as an organic battery for a giant ship.

So there's that.]</sub>

[fierybluebird]

[And luckily Marco's done hundreds of tattoos so this gets done quickly enough.]

Okay quick peek before I bandage this side up.
