[ Cut image is gonna be to a rather odd looking individual with more--are those tattoos?--than he has normal skin, and apparently just as many piercings.

He's got what looks to be a playful look on his face, but what with the uptick of a sigh he lets loose, there's clear annoyance here. ]

Here I thought I already had all kinds'a social media on my phone. [ the guy's voice is deep, like the bottom of a volcano. ] But this one's new.

Ever hear aboutta thing called Marie Antoinette Syndrome? Where peoples' hair suddenly turn fuckin'. White? Due ot stress or some shit?

I ain't stressed, but turns out it might be real.

Anyway. You can call me Dabi.
Gonna' use this opportunity to announce the opening of my shop, Troublebound.
I do tattooing and body mod shit.
If it's your thing, we can talk. I do good work, just look me up on Insta and Snap.

Look forward to working with ya.

I mean, seeing someone like you in a suit was a treat, if I'm being honest. I've seen many tattoo artists in my day, but none like you.

[dabi]

what can i say, i clean up suuuuper fuckin nice
the fact that i went outta my way to rent a suit in the first place shows how serious i am
and look, way i saw it, best way to practice was on myself
i just went a lil bit furthur than most people.

[femmecatale]

Yeah, you do.

Man, next time you need a suit, let me take you to a place. They have great suits and tailoring. As long as I fill out the expense reports, Boss is pretty easygoing about my use of the credit card.

[dabi]

Oh yeah?
That right?
Big man upstairs just lets you walk around with the company CC however you want, huh. What a swanky gig you got, lady
id be gunnin' for your job if not for the fact that i got ambitions elsewhere

tell ya what tho ill definitely keep it in mind if i ever need duds for shit like that.
i aint gonna say no to a free ride.

[femmecatale]

Look, it's a good gig, but man, you should try getting him to read his emails day to day. And that's only the set that I don't read and summarize for him because they're specifically for The Big Man.

And yes, I know you can read this, Gilgamesh, sir.

[dabi]

hey ill read the most unhinged shit if it means i get a good paycheck from it
im sure you had to read the nutso proposal i set up too, so youre welcome for that.

[femmecatale]

It was probably the most interesting thing I read that week. Definitely not your standard business proposal.

[dabi]

what can i say, the squeaky wheel gets the oil and all that
if i kept my proposal boring and to the letter, id still be in california working under some idiot who thinks the best tattoos are flowers and half-naked women.
respect the guy's art but i have other tastes, yanno?

[femmecatale]

Flowers and half-naked women? That sounds so much fun to tattoo day in and day out.

Besides, your portfolio didn't fit in with that spread. It was probably best for you to break off.

[dabi]

hahahah there's nothin WRONG with crap like that, dont get me wrong
its just boring and samey, yanno?

i like to have a bit of flair to my work
and i love drawing creepy or spooky shit

[femmecatale]

Nah, I get what you're saying. I have a friend who's an artist and I'm sure he would get sick of doing the same shit on different days, in a way.

I could see that in your portfolio. It was all pretty good.

[dabi]

I'll take the compliment and run with it, bosslady.

So, do you have any ink yourself?
I do some nicer stuff if you're ever interested.

[femmecatale]

Nah, not yet.

I have some ideas but, as I'm sure you've heard from people before, it's permanent, going to be on my body forever, etc.

It's something I have to be sure on.

Both the art and the artist.

[dabi]

hey, i get it
took me years to decide on my own ink. and even then, i did most of it myself
other than the shit on my back that i couldnt exactly reach hahahahh

and well, if ya need to get to know a guy before making a decision, you got my number, now.
