[Styx doesn't really like to use the voice function, let alone video. but he's got a question that would greatly benefit from some visual aid, so...enjoy your view of a fish tank, network. there's a single resident inside just chilling, weaving his way around the lush plants and the decorative skull without a care in the world. the skull's eye sockets are continuously changing colors, but that doesn't seem to bother him.
this is a much nicer view than his stupid face for sure.]
Um, hey! You guys have tattoos where you're all from? Just mean in general, not, uh...actually on you or nothing, haha.
[it would kind of be a pointless question if they already had a piece done, wouldn't it? this was off to a great start already.]
I'm gonna get a new piece done real soon, but 'm kinda stuck on what to do with the design. There's just so much killer shit, you know? So I thought maybe if I heard what everybody here's into it'd help me pick something out...'nd if not at least I'll get to see some cool stuff!
[the camera shifts now, briefly glimpsing an extremely large man before it narrows in on what is presumably that same massive guy's upper arm and the wicked tattoo on display.]
This is what I already got! Picked it 'cause it went with my name, but I dunno if I should do more skulls again? Be like too much of a good thing, you know?
Oh, hey, Soren! Dunno if you're listening but you should check everybody's shit out too! 's your money 'nd all, I wanna get something you think's awesome.

Oh yeah, I've got a ton.
[He holds up his hands so his "hello" and "goodbye" tattoos are visible on his palms, then turns and shows off the army crest on his bicep.]
I've got a couple of other ones, but I'd have to be a contortionist to show you those ones on this thingy.
[A pause.]
That skull and death thing is pretty awesome.
no subject
[he's seen people get words tattooed on their knuckles all the time, but never really on the palms. it was kind of neat in its own way, wasn't it? you didn't even have to greet or dismiss people at parties, just give them a big ol' wave. he's sort of enamored by the novelty.]
'nd thanks! Got it done right after I moved out...was wanting something like that for a while so it felt good. 's the ferryman, you know?

styx was a goddess they named the river of the dead after
im a dude so like im named after the river but still
all the other gods would swear their oaths on it cause those were unbreakable promises
its fucking killer right ?
[this is surprisingly intellectual for Styx, but he presents it so earnestly that one might not even notice.]

Not that she had anything like that. She had done. But then her changes had covered her one tattoo. ]
no subject
[because bones are awesome? death is cool!! M E T A L.]
This one was my first though, yeah? Was something I'd been thinking about for years before I got it...so it definitely had to have the skull. Wouldn't be the same without it.

I don't have any, but we do have them where I come from! I think that whatever you get, it should be something that means something to you. It's going to be permanent, after all! There should be some sentiment involved.
no subject
Yeah, 'course! 's why I'm looking to see what everybody else felt was important to them, you know? I got a lot've feelings but like...not a lot've pictures to match with them, haha.

[ nami turns to show him her shoulder and the symbol there. ]
But if you already have something that has to do with your name... how about something with an X? [ then, muttered, ] That skulls looks really realistic...
no subject
[abstract but definitely interesting, and put in just the right place on her body. what a good choice, Nami! he's clearly really into it.]
Oh, like 'cause my name ends with an x? Yeah, maybe! Could put the xs on another skull's eye sockets or something, yeah?
[clearly the realism is the appeal here, not a deterrent.]

What made you decide to get a new one?
no subject
Um, kinda nothing! Soren said he'd pay for me to get one done as a Modranicht gift out of nowhere. Don't wanna be rude 'nd hold off for too long but I've really been having a hard time thinking of anything good.

That said, she does want to be helpful even if she knows next to nothing about tattoos. It's not exactly something Good Catholics are known to do.]
You're a musician, right? That could be an idea to start with.
[After a pause, she teasingly adds:]
Or if you're really stuck for ideas you can have an ad for our shop tattooed onto you.
no subject
Oh, you think? The name's kinda long so you might have to help me think of a good way to shorten it; 'cause if it's gotta go on my back I don't think enough people're gonna see it.
[he's taking this seriously. he's taking this deadly seriously. his mind's already thinking of whether or not it would be bad form to have the address tattooed on the bottom of the piece, good fucking god.]

[ Some high places might have frowned on them, to be exact. But shit's still mighty cool ]
You can't go wrong with more skulls, skullboy. Maybe add a fish to that skull? Full colour to make it pop-out more.
no subject
people think they kinda make you look like a thug a lotve the time but i think theyre killer
you can do anything you want with them you know ?
hey thatd be pretty cool !
like a skeleton fish right ?
[why's it always gotta be bones, Styx. why can't the skull just have a fish swimming through it or something?]

Yeah, lots of dudes get tats in prisons! Makes you look real hard, you know? But this one's real complicated so I wanted to get it done by a pro instead of just some dude.

That shit sticks to your body for good, yeah? Pick something that you're not gonna regret two years from now.
Unless you're just gonna go with a tattoo that matches your last name.
no subject
[he'd trail off and laugh, a little awkwardly. Styx is so used to introducing himself just through his nickname that he's kind of forgotten most people wouldn't know it's not his actual name. whoops!]
Don't really use my last name all that much anymore unless I gotta. Dunno if it'd really go with everything else.

Speaking of embarrassing... it's only now that Soren realizes his slightly mortifying error of addressing 'Styx' in the letter with Good tidings, Sticks. Then again, he's never seen "stɪks" spelled out for him, so what is someone unfamiliar with this underworld river mythology from another reality supposed to think? ]
This decision is yours to make, not mine. I'm only funding it. You need not accept my offer if making a decision like this causes you undue stress, either.
Besides, they are not permanent unless you specifically ask for them to be. So if you regret the design you picked out, it won't be stuck to you forever. What's more important to consider is what kind of spell you want.
no subject
youre still part of it dude !
i want something thats gonna remind me of all the friends i made here so youre like
double part of it
and its ok !
everything stresses me out so im not bugged by it anymore haha :)
this is the fun stress anyway
oh is that really more important ?
maybe im kind of doing this stuff backwards
i actually got the spell all set already
