wait until josuke hears about these Bonding Activities

[manuscripture]

[ this could go badly. ]

You say that like I couldn't make a mural with sidewalk chalk. Ye of little faith. [ BUT... ] Fine. We can trade. I'll do you first though.

[meatitfeedson]

[...Oh. Wow, those are good. Kyrie has to stop to look through the designs.]

I didn't know you were an artist, these are really impressive!

[jinglebros]

[ That almost feels waaay too good for Santa to notice how out of hand this is getting. Only almost. ]

Whoa there fella. [ He wriggles a bit to try to get away. ]

[jinglebros]

[ Santa points to his right arm, where several small tattoos are already present. ]

Lay your mark.

[manuscripture]

[ He's sedated to a point. Enough to not be as welcoming as a pile of razor blades. Every artist has to get in a Zone somehow. Marijuana is IMPOSSIBLE to get in Japan so power to him. ]

I could take anything in the book and make it better. I know this isn't a challenge of who can make the best tattoos but I would like them to not look like scrawls when I have a game I can actually play. [ Huff. ] I'm a little tired after that last voting round. Let me see what I can do for you, Lotus.

[jinglebros]

[ He blanches a bit at that, then nods. ] Nice.

[manuscripture]

[ oh hi again, kyrie. ]

I'm a mangaka at home. I do all sorts of media though. This challenge should be a breeze and, well, anyone stuck with one of my pieces on themselves is not as creepy as it came off at first blush.

Are you interested, Miss Kyrie?

[ranked27]

How unfortunate, that'd have been a fine work.

[He's kidding. Kinda]

I'm willing to leave the design up to you. I'm not picky about what it could be -- but it'd be nice if it was nothing I'd be ashamed to have on me.

[The more embarrassing it is, the more of a hassle it'd be to ask Beatrice to remove it, after all]

[ranked27]

Are you sure you want to do that?

[Who'd have guessed he wasn't jumping at the chance of letting a child give him a tattoo]

...I don't have any other choice, but at least I'd like to make sure you're willing to try your best.

[talktothestand]

I just am a little slow and just wasn't sure if it was the same... A-And I wasn't scared of the needle or anything! [Denial, denial~

He had taken off his jacket of his school uniform a while ago, so he already had approached Rohan in his tanktop, ready for one. ]

I'll even let ya pick the design... I'll show ya faith!

[ranked27]

Then allow me to do a quick work on you. I can promise you it'll be done with as much proficiency as I'm capable.

Any specific requests?

[scribbly]

Perfect!

[It's probably for the best that he can't see her fumbling to get the ink in the tattoo gun, though he might hear the clattering before it clicks into place and she sets to work slooowly drawing wavy green lines up his arm, wrist to elbow. Poor Snake is going to end up with a whole sleeve with this amount of freedom given to her though??]

My line of work requires a certain amount of elegance, but I find myself attracted to the raw intensity of these designs over here. It's intriguing...

[It may be his own demonic nature influencing him a bit. Oh well. Perhaps a compromise...]

I'm willing to leave it up to you, to what you feel you'd be more skillful with. Just please try be careful not to make me bleed excessively, the situation may get a tad awkward if that happens.

[He's more than capable of enduring pain, but he'd rather not take risks if his blood does the usual 'turning into rose petals' thing. With some luck that trait of his got removed too]

[ranked27]

My, my, a sacrifice worthy of the defender of a kingdom.

[He's actually impressed, yeah. Ronove take the ink gun, still a bit unsure of how it works, but you know...one learns by making mistakes!]

Any specific requests? I can't promise perfection, but I'd like to do something you're comfortable with.

[meatitfeedson]

Ah, then this really is the perfect game for you. We're lucky to have you here.

[She blushes a little at the question though.]

Do you mind a strange request? I know I shouldn't ask an artist to work on something another started, but...to integrate would be nice. I don't have much space for separate pieces, after all.

[scribbly]

[TOO LATE SHE'S DOING IT her outlines are a little shaky and the second clover petal doesn't look entirely even against the first, but it...could be worse......]

I got to give Ene a whole garden, and I got to give tattoos to Mister Ronove, and Santa, and...um... [names???] ...um, the man who keeps his eyes closed.

[exequte]

[She considers both for a moment, then pulls back her left sleeve to around the elbow.]

[keybroad]

[Headtilt...]

If you put it that way, do you want to go somewhere less conventional than forearm or shoulder? [Stares down at her own arms, bending them experimentally.] Maybe you could go with the more painful location of inside the elbow? You watch it unfold like you watch her life unfold. I could do just an outline then instead of shading it in.

[scribbly]

[Can't imagine why that'd be a problem!!! She sure isn't any less perky, so she doesn't see the issue.]

Of course! I'm definitely gonna do my very, very best! What should I draw, what should I draw?

[exequte]

It's not so much a matter of that, is it? The game isn't going to wait for anybody, which means I have to be.

[scribbly]

Okay. I promise.

[...]

Um... I'm really sorry. I wanted to help, but I didn't want to take her away from her friends...

[scribbly]

Yay!

[And she is off to work, ever so carefully starting with drawing her own head before she passes Santa yellow ink and the gun.]

Can you switch the colors again?

[locktouching]

[Shivers a little as Corrin just goes for it.]

Want me to lie down for you? Would that make it easier?

[Picks a bottle up out of the way and climbs onto a table. Takes a drink, then lays himself down, sprawled and relaxed with limbs hanging over the sides.]
