[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.]

[rassera]

Hell no.

I'm not letting the government take me anywhere. I'll do this with imPort help.

[sleight_of_hand]

Well, I can't blame you.

[ He let out a breath at that. ]

I got nothing, other than that.

video;

[rassera]

No fancy bracelets or cuffs?

[Handcuffs would fucking suck, honestly.]


Well, at least help me think up what I want--you look like the type who'd know this stuff.

[Was that meant to be sarcastic, idiot.]

[ Adachi snorted at that. ]

Not unless you want my handcuffs, but those won't help you much.

[ Might help his girlfrie-- ...no, no, his brain was not allowed to go there. ]

What makes you think I'd know tattoos? The only kind of tats I've had to look at are gang tats.

video;

[rassera]

Yeah, those are one thing I never want on my wrist.

[Funny Kaneda, with your track record, you'd think you'd just abide by the law.]

Call it an exercise of your imagination.

[ Adachi let out a disgruntled noise at that. ]

I don't know; you could get your girlfriend's name somewhere? Isn't that standard for people in relationships?

[rassera]

Damn...


She'd be like "WHY DIDN'T YOU GET SOMETHING COOL, DUMMY!"

video;

[sleight_of_hand]

[ Oh for--! ]

Look, I don't know what you find 'cool', all right!?

video;

[rassera]

[YOUR LIFE IS PAIN, ADACHI.]

C'mon, don't tell me you've never watched anime or something! Or old samurai movies!

video;

[sleight_of_hand]

[ IT'S TOO TRUE. ]

Well, just Featherman, but that was when I was a kid.

video;

[rassera]

Really?


What's stopping you now?

video;

[sleight_of_hand]

Uh... time? I have to work for a living.

video;

[rassera]

...I work three and I still watch Pink Princess.


[Okay that's more live action but whatever.]

video;

[sleight_of_hand]

Uh, from what I saw, you eat more than you work.

video;

[rassera]

Hey!

I HAVE to eat that much!

video;

[sleight_of_hand]

You're going to get fat at this rate.

Your girlfriend is going to be rolling you around.

video;

[rassera]

I'm a growing boy, it all goes to muscle.


Trust me, I'm plenty hot enough for my girlfriend.

video;

[sleight_of_hand]

Right.

And I really didn't care to know that.

video;

[rassera]

You brought it up.


I think I'll go with something really cool though--you know.


Like a giant dragon.

video;

[sleight_of_hand]

Oh yeah, sure. Get Kohryu or something.

[ Because why not? It's not like there was a hint of sarcasm in his voice or anything. It's not like that dragon had felt great when it was introduced to his face. ]

video;

[rassera]

Yeah I--

[A brief pause.]

How'd you know the name of my fish?

video;

[sleight_of_hand]

...you named your fish after a celestial dragon?

Are you going to send it swimming up a waterfall or something?

video;

[rassera]

That's what Bull's trying to do with em, yeah.


Says he's got a pond full of dragons just waiting to be made.

[sleight_of_hand]

[ Adachi can't even say anything to that; the only thing he can really do is facepalm in exasperation. ]
