[ 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.

good

that's what I was going for
good to know my shit's been handled in that direction

anyway nah
i aint scared of shit
unless youre suggesting faeries are gonna come into my house and start stealing my toes
im fine

[ornamentals]

well,
it's not impossible.
they could steal more than just your toes.

like your teeth, for example.

[dabi]

aint the tooth fairy something most kids look forward to

gettin dollars for your teeth bits
it always felt a little weird to me that a fairy wanted kid's teeth
they definitely did something nefarious with them

[ornamentals]

i wouldn't know, i've never lost a tooth before.

probably.
if there are tooth fairies then it stands to reason there are fairies that hunt other body parts.
i'd like to meet an organ fairy.

[dabi]

...Never? got it. so you're little little.

also yeah absolutely
there's the tooth fairy that takes teeth
and then there's the mafia fairy that takes organs

[ornamentals]

no, i'm not.

[shut up]

what is a 'mafia'?

[dabi]

yeah you can say that if ya want
i got 3 kid siblings, i got a sense for these sorts of things

and theyre a group of organized criminals ofc
theyll lend ya money or help you out if you need it
but if ya dont pay them back timely

out comes a kidney

[ornamentals]

if you know so much then try and guess my age.
you won't get it.

do you know this from experience?

[dabi]

9

also nah, im a supervillian, remember, mafia and me get along
most mafia members have tattoos, so
ive tattooed a few before, for sure

[ he probably hasn't, but there's nothing he loves more than teasing a kid

he misses doing it. ]

[ornamentals]

wrong. try again.

right. a really bad supervillain.
what kind of tattoos do mafia members like to get?

[dabi]

hm
ya type really well, so did i guess too low?

and usually they get shit like numbers, or blood droplets to show how many people theyve killed
japanese mafia members are called 'yakuza', and theyre famous for getting whole tattoos on their backs to signify their clan or their nickname they got while working under their families.

[ he'll send along a few pictures. ]

[ornamentals]

of course i type well, i'm not an idiot.
too high.

is it one drop of blood per person they've killed or do they signify a specific amount?
that's kind of cool.
the yakuza have better looking tattoos. way better than a number or blood drops.

[dabi]

i swear youre fuckin with me
what then
5

and i guess its cool, but its also a little boring
i way prefer the high design that yakuza tattoos have. that's the shit im into.

[ornamentals]

perish the thought, mr. dabi.
wrong again.

how old do you need to be to get a tattoo like that?

[dabi]

this game is S for Sucks

also technically ya gotta be 18 to get a tattoo, but...

eh.
sometimes someone looks 18 and have a real convincing fake ID...

[ornamentals]

guess you'll never know now.

so you've gotten tricked before?

[dabi]

maybe some things are worth being a mystery

saying i was tricked suggests that i didn't know it was fake, kiddo

[ornamentals]

maybe you didn't know and now you're just trying to save face.
because it would be embarrassing if you were tricked.

[dabi]

see kiddo
the thing about embarrassment is you need shame to be embarrassed

i aint really got any of that, you know
my skin is clear my concious is like a duck's back
stuff just slides riiight off
