[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.]

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.

video;

[sleight_of_hand]

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

video;

[rassera]

Hey, I thought it was a dumb idea too!


Guy's nuts over dragons. Like...he's got a thing for them.

video;

[sleight_of_hand]

Considering that guy, he probably thinks dragons are a challenge or something.

[ ...yeah, he has to be talking about that Iron Bull guy. How many people go by animal names? ]

video;

[rassera]

Bingo.

He's been trying since April to get one

video;

[sleight_of_hand]

Shame no one I know from home is here. I know one guy who could do that for him.

video;

[rassera]

...Wait, you know a guy who can call out a dragon?

video;

[sleight_of_hand]

[ ...him and his big fucking mouth. ]

O-oh... h-ha... yeah, but he's not here, so it's not important.

video;

[rassera]

..That.

Sounds.


Awesome!


[Disclaimer: Kaneda is a teenage boy NOT fucked up by personas.]

video;

[sleight_of_hand]

Yeah.

Real awesome.

[ Look, he may just have one Persona, but his is still better. ]

video;

[rassera]

[Some people have no Persona GOSH. ADACHI.]

How does a dragon not get you excited?


Is that a cop thing?

video;

[sleight_of_hand]

[ Well gee, that sucks for you, Kaneda. ]

It's a being on the receiving end thing.

video;

[rassera]

...You got your ass kicked by a dragon?


[Well, now he's invested.]

video;

[sleight_of_hand]

A dragon, a samurai, something with win--

[ Adachi came to an abrupt stop, realizing that his big mouth was running off without the rest of him again. He really needed to stop doing that. ]

Ah... heh. N-not that that's important or anything. So, where are you getting that tattoo anyway?

[ TOPIC CHANGE, TOPIC CHANGE. ]

video;

[rassera]

[Nice change of topic, Adachi, it works.]

Huh?


Oh, Maybe it'll be all across my arm, you know? I've seen some guys with that, and I think the bigger the better.

video;

[sleight_of_hand]

[ He is so glad Kaneda's an idiot. ]

Oh, like a sleeve? That'd be good.
