[This is a really...odd question to ask. And Kaneda knows it. But something's been on his mind as of late, especially with his new job working out the way it is. Boredom begets creativity, and thus the feed opens up to our favourite biker teen sitting at his desk in Neo Tokyo, sliding back and forth on his rolling stool as he plays with a thumbtack.

Poking his skin lightly with the tip. It makes no impression, and it's as if it were going into silly putty rather than actual skin.]


Does...anyone know where to get something that can block my powers? I don't know, like a magic bracelet or something?

[He has his reasons.


He totally has his reasons.]


I want a tattoo.


[They're related, honest.]

Well I guess it depends on if you can get your powers turned off.

[. . .]

What do you wanna get?

video

[rassera]

Something cool...

I don't know, like a dragon or something. Maybe on my arm.

video

[missleadingquestions]

Sounds hot.

[As if it's a very casual statement.]

Actually, now that you mention it, I'm kinda surprised you don't have one already.

[Mr. Big Bad Biker Boy.]

video

[rassera]

Yeah it does.

[He agrees with your assessment, Maya.]

Yeah well...not like I really COULD here. [And Neo Tokyo didn't exactly have sanitary and safe practices. Clowns probably did most of the tattooing and something tells him he wasn't all too welcome there.]

With my...condition.

[missleadingquestions]

You sound diseased when you say it like that!

video

[rassera]

Hey! It's not like it's a power I can USE.


It's on all the time!

video

[missleadingquestions]

You should know how to deal with that already.

[She snorts.]

I just always figured you'd have ones from back home!

video

[rassera]

Yeah, Joker'd get a real kick out of that one.

Guess I'm just full of surprises, huh?

video

[missleadingquestions]

Maybe your reputation is just worse than you are, as usual.

Re: video

[rassera]

Where'd you hear that?

I'm the worst. Bad as they come.

video

[missleadingquestions]

Oh, you know. I've got first hand resources. There's this little soccer player who knows eeeeverything there is to know about Kaneda.

video

[rassera]

Jaime lies.


[He knows exactly who Maya's talking about, but it's like Voldemort: He-who-must-not-be-named.


Cause he's evil.]

video

[missleadingquestions]

[A GASP and a grin.]

I'm gonna tell him you said that!

[rassera]

3/3 video

[rassera]

Don't.

video

[missleadingquestions]

I'm gonna call him and tell him you called him a big old liar.

video

[rassera]

Maya!


I'll never hear the end of it!!!

video

[missleadingquestions]

Ooooh, what was that? I can't hear you, I'm-- so compelled to hang up and call...

video

[rassera]

I bought you noodles!

video

[missleadingquestions]

You're gonna keep buying me noodles.

[Can you deny that grin of hers kaneda]

video

[rassera]

Are you blackmailing me?


I feel like I invented you.


[Honey you just didn't read the fine print for this girl--she's always been like this.

His tone's playful, at least. BUT HE IS NOT LOSING THIS FIGHT!]

video

[missleadingquestions]

Oh, you're right. You're the only one I'e ever been mean to, y'know.

Nick knows what a saint I am. You've ruined me.

[She's grinning as wide as a house.]

So this is totally deserved!

video

[rassera]

You should be thanking me!

If nikkuman kept ahold of you you wouldn't have nearly as much fun!

video

[missleadingquestions]

I think you're reeeally confusing who has a hold of who here.

[In both contexts, tbh.]
