[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.]

Never thought I'd hear those two words next to each other.

[rideme]

From me?

Think about who you're talking to for a second here.

[rassera]

I try not to. [He cocks that cheeky grin, before continuing.]

I want a tattoo.



Maybe of a giant drago--

[rassera]

Nothing. I want nothing.

video

[rideme]

You're hilarious, asshole.

... You want a dragon? A dragon tattoo? You're shitting me!

video

[rassera]

I didn't say that!

video

[rideme]

Why the fuck not!

video

[rassera]

...You're not gonna throw me at a waterfall are you?

video

[rideme]

... It's a tattoo, Kaneda.

You're not a fish.

video

[rassera]

Well don't ask me how your mind works--no one knows that.


Yeah, I think I want a dragon. A giant red one.

video

[rideme]

I'm not gonna throw you at a waterfall because you slap a dragon on your ass. I'm not stupid.

[why yes, he did say 'on your ass' on purpose.]

Feel like I heard of a tattoo artist -- one of us. Found anyone yourself?

video

[rassera]

Excuse me for considering all options, princess!


..


Not yet. Tattoo artist doesn't do me any good if I can't find a way past this--[As he knocks a fist against his own chest lightly.]

video

[rideme]

I figured you for smarter than that.

[Why would he throw you, boy.]

... ah-huh. I could ask around, too, if you like.

video

[rassera]

For the bracelet or the artist? I mean, I'm good with both.

[He didn't expect Bull to be so supportive--not that he expected Bull to be AGAINST it, but...

You know what, it's not so out of the ordinary the more he thinks about it.]

video

[rideme]

Both.

I've got my connections.

video

[rassera]

Well, I won't say no to that.


Tell me if you find anything, yeah?

video

[rideme]

Nah, I thought I'd keep it all to myself.

[Jeez Kaneda, did you really think he wouldn't share?]

Besides. I wanna punch you when your power's shut off. See what happens.

video

[rassera]

...











Think I'll pass.

video

[rideme]

Oh come on! Just one?

video

[rassera]

I'm not explaining to Maya why I let a cow punch me.

video

[rideme]

Fine, then I'll tell her.

video

[rassera]

You still need my permission!

video

[rideme]

Nah.

I think I just need hers.

video

[rassera]

Pretty sure you need mine, old man.


I'm taking that bracelet off the moment they're done with me.

video

[rideme]

We'll see.

When you least expect it.
