[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.]

(no, she's blaming his shitpost tendencies.) Eugh, that sucks. Congrats on... being a legal adult in weird America.

So back to that tattoo business. What kind are you getting?

...I dunno.

[You can tell he thought long and hard about this decision.]

Something cool, definitely. Like a giant dragon.

Ohhhh, what if you have it go all the way down your arm? Then it'll look like your arm is a dragon. You gotta have it somewhere people can see it.

...Yeah, YEAH that's what I'll do.

I'll have the head up here--[Hand gestures to around his pec, then trails it down to his wrist.]--and the tail be down here.

No, man, flip it around. Have the head at your hand! (her hand goes over the opposite fist, circling around the back of her hand and wrist.) That way you'll get a cool nickname like... "Dragon Fist" or something when you get in a fight.

Hm.

Dragons going up is a sign of good luck, though--which...

You know. I like to think I have.

[You sassy shit, you know you have good luck. It's your damn POWER.]

There, you've got that whole symbolism thing going on. (a pause. and then a sassy and rather "proud of herself" smile.)

And, y'know, you looking like a cocky little shit.

Heh, damn right on that last one! I swear by that lifestyle!

I have a feeling you invented it. All of this only backs up my claim.
