Tattoos [vP20]

[21:19] <@Emmara> [You know. You never really got around to talking tattoos with Luveni at any point, despite being several months in to the session.]
[21:20] <@Emmara> [You got caught up in the new aspect, figuring things out, and then realizing all the work you needed to do. You didn't really have any time for people, and most of the people in the session you have no great desire to meet. But you're feeling like company now, so...]
[21:21] <@Emmara> *vanisingPoint PESTERs "Luveni" : (Hey, you up to anything?)
[21:24] <Luveni> *tartarEradication TROLLs "Em" : (Well I'm FIST DEEP in some Ogre's mouth but I think I can get out of that pretty quickly!!)
[21:25] <Luveni> *tartarEradication TROLLs "Em" : (Why, what's up? Got some sort of problem or something?? ~>:0)
[21:26] <@Emmara> *vanisingPoint PESTERs "Luveni" : (Yeah, the problem is I'm lacking necessary socialization, and we still haven't shown each other our tattoos or anything like that.)
[21:26] <@Emmara> *vanisingPoint PESTERs "Luveni" : (I've got some food from my garden if you need any more incentive.)
[21:27] <Luveni> *tartarEradication TROLLs "Em" : (ahahaHAH I SEE! Well I DIDN'T need incentive but I'll definitely come over now!!)
[21:27] <Luveni> *tartarEradication TROLLs "Em" : (let me just)
[21:27] <Luveni> *tartarEradication TROLLs "Em" : (*gently dentists Ogre's mouth back together*)
[21:28] <Luveni> [Yes, gently. Completely gently.]
[21:28] <@Emmara> *vanisingPoint PESTERs "Luveni" : (Thats new, a dentist being gentle)
[21:29] <Luveni> *tartarEradication TROLLs "Em" : (Pffffthahaha you have no idea the sort of work I was doing then)
[21:29] <Luveni> *tartarEradication TROLLs "Em" : (Okay, actually, I wasn't very gentle with some of the trolls because they could have literally bitten my fingers off but sometimes that ALSO needs a delicate touch bUT ANYWAY)
[21:30] <@Emmara> *vanisingPoint PESTERs "Luveni" : (Fair enough. You know where my spire is, right?)
[21:31] <Luveni> *tartarEradication TROLLs "Em" : (I will be there in a moment!! Just your spire right-- Yeah yeah I know!)
[21:32] <@Emmara> *vanisingPoint PESTERs "Luveni" : (Yeah, I'm around floor 40. Look for the floor with the doors open)
[21:32] <Luveni> *tartarEradication TROLLs "Em" : ( Can do!! Be there right quick, don't you worry ~>>:) )
[21:34] <@Emmara> *vanisingPoint PESTERs "Luveni" : (Alright. See you then.)
[21:35] <@Emmara> [Do a quick once over around the apartment to see that it's not messy. Have some food prepared that you can offer, even if theres no pears. You miss pears.]
[21:37] <Luveni> [And thus you none-too-gently tear your drill from the Ogre's face. Yeah. You were sort of lying. Whoops. There's grist though! Off you go, taking a hard run toward the gate and onward toward Em's spire.]
[21:40] <Luveni> [When you get there you probably crash into a few things, but you're grinning too wide and panting a little bit too much to care-- does a run feel good or does it feel /good?/ Plus there's a cute human with cute teeth and cute tattoos waiting. How impolite of you, to let her wait!]
[21:43] <@Emmara> [You laugh as he crashes in to the walls. "Did you run here or something?" Standing up and walking over. Looking him over. "There wasn't any huge rush or anything."]
[21:56] <Luveni> ["Oh-- Ehaha," you chuckle and scratch the back of your neck, where teal tattoos and just peeking out from under your shirt. "I didn't want to keep you waiting! Felt good to get here anyway." You shift back and forth-- you're sort of a big guy by human standards, but you wield it with all the grace of a five sweep old. Your hair is neatly swept back, parted around mismatched horns; one of them
[21:56] <Luveni> curves up directly, but the other? It goes back, dips down hard, and then sticks back up again. Pullover shirts don't work really well for you. Good thing you're wearing a button-up! From your rolled up sleeves, it's easy to see two sets of jagged teal lines encircling your right forearm-- then, on your left hand, there's a sky blue diamond. Your nails are painted, and your sharp teeth are
[21:56] <Luveni> braced, both in your blood color.]
[21:59] * Keleviel ([email protected]) has joined #Tattoos
[22:01] <@Emmara> [Huh, he's not too much taller than you, if you don't count the horns. You're wearing shorts and a plain t-shirt with no shoes. The large tattoo on your left leg immediately draws the eye, as well as the more intricate design on your left hand based around the Time symbol. "Fair enough. You good with hugs? Or do you just want a handshake or whatever." Grin at him. Knowing full well he's probably going to enjoy the view of your teeth.]
[22:05] <Luveni> [Stare blatantly at her mouth. It might even be unintentional. You could have a problem? You probably have a problem, but you do not realize it is one. Still, you're grinning widely back. "Hugs are good!" You open your arms and approach her for the sort of full body bear hug you generally give.]
[22:08] <@Emmara> ["Yes they are!" Hug in to him, you've missed hugs. Seeing how tightly he's hugging you hug tight right back. "Nice to really meet you properly."]
[22:11] <Luveni> ["Yeah! Isn't it? I haven't really seen anyone properly this session except Alice; it's crazy!" Give her a good squeeze, somehow managing not to clip her in the face with your horns even though you went hard into that hug.]
[22:14] <@Emmara> ["Yeah, well, sometimes you get sessions where no one really talks to anyone else. Long as you get out, it's not too bad." Considering you're not quite as tall as him, you're not as surprised. "But hey, you've seen me now." Finally let go of the hug, was pretty good, you'll have to get more. "You want to sit down, or do you want to go see my gardens?"]
[22:21] <Luveni> [You guess you'd agree to that, so you nod along. "Let's go see the gardens! I don't know if you noticed but I'm sort of--heh--feeling it right now. Uh, 'it' being the desire to work off some energy!" Movement pleases you! You end up pointing dramatically in the direction you think the gardens might be in.]
[22:25] <@Emmara> [Raise your eyebrows at 'work off some energy', but you refrain from waggling them just yet. Instead, you take his arm and point roughly 90 degrees differently. "You can definitely take some with you, normally I'd be hosting session meetings and whatever, but with the indifference from people I've got a bit of a surplus. Can't let it go to waste." Dust doesn't like that.]
[22:28] <@Emmara> [Head back through the main staircase and through one of the other, closed, doors. The garden is a little more industrial than one might think when they hear 'garden', but it's warm and humid, with the smell of plants very strong. A large variety of different vegetables and plants on individual tables, about half of each showing signs of ripeness.]

[22:30] <Luveni> [Angrily glance at your arm. Come on, arm, do the Fatey thing right. "Righto, glad to help! I can eat a lot anyone--anyway, shit-- so if you want to give me a lot that'll work fine!" You probably verbally fricked up because you had to walk while talking. "Whooaaa," you drawl under your breath, poking your head around to look at the plants.]
[22:37] <@Emmara> [You bite your bottom lip to not comment on the slips. As much as you'd /really/ like to. You grin at his astonishment. "Most of them are getting to the point of a second harvest. I can show you how to cook with them if you don't really have any idea." All of the tables are labelled. Potatoes, carrots, tomatoes, cucumbers, zucchini, onions, celery, radishes, and many more.]
[22:41] <Luveni> ["Might be a good idea! I never really learned how to cook, but some of my other coplayers- older coplayers- ex-coplayers?" Shake your head. "Some of them knew how, and the stuff they made was fantastic. And when I say 'cook' I don't mean add heat and BOOM, I mean really good stuff." You eye the leafy tops of some carrots curiously, privately thinking that they do not look very edible.]
[22:46] <@Emmara> ["Sure, if you don't mind coming around, I can show you." Catch him peering at the carrots. "Want one? They're pretty good raw."]
[22:49] <Luveni> [Grin, but it's sort of nervous, eyebrows sloping downward in confusion. "Are you sure about that? They look pretty, uh, well not bad, just sort of like lettuce and I'm not very big on lettuce." You've never actually seen lettuce grow. "I mean, okay, it looks different than lettuce but you know! Weird human greens." Wince at your use of human as an adjective, because you are really trying to
[22:49] <Luveni> stop that!]
[22:53] <@Emmara> [Pat his back, reach over to one of the carrots thats almost fully grown and pull it out of the soil. It's not as big as some you'd see, but you've always found them sweeter. About fifteen centimetres long, and about the width of your thumb at the top. You shake the dirt off, then head to the sink to wash it off. "Some things grow underground. Don't let what you see colour everything." Offer the now clean carrot over.]
[22:57] <Luveni> [Blink stupidly at this magnificent orange beast that has just come out of the ground. "WELL! Damn, you got me, didn't you?" You take the carrot and inspect it momentarily before shrugging and taking an enormous bite. Fresh, crunchy, and different than you thought it would taste! "That's not so bad!" You talk with your mouth full like a slob.]
[23:01] <@Emmara> ["It's called a carrot, they're one of my favourite veggies to just pull out and eat." Lean against the wall. "Them and cherry tomatoes and peas. Fruit is good too, but don't have any of that here unfortunately." Wave your hand dismissively. "What I've got for you I've already pulled out, so you won't have to watch me check all of these."]
[23:06] <Luveni> [You chomp your way through the rest of the carrot, stopping short when you accidentally bite your way through the leaves. Sheepishly set those aside, chipmunk-cheeked before you swallow hard so you can actually talk again. "Well alright then! How very considerate of you," you grin, and your teeth are slightly orange. "What other sorts of neat weird little beastie vegetables did you get for
[23:06] <Luveni> me? Er, pick for me?"]
[23:09] <@Emmara> ["Potatoes, onions, zucchini, a cucumber or two, a bunch of tomatoes. Though I'm thinking I should probably leave instructions or something if you're not familiar with them." Gesture back towards the living space. "We can stick around here a bit more if you want." You add on.]
[23:13] <Luveni> [Scratch your chin thoughtfully. "I don't really care, but it's interesting in here!" You look around at some of the different plants. "But then again it would be great to see what you got me--packed for me-- whatever, semantics! And I can just ask you all the questions I have."]
[23:16] <@Emmara> [Chuckle. "And we still haven't shown off our tattoos either. Can always pick up the veggies on your way out." Shrug, and lean against the wall. "Up to you."]
[23:20] <Luveni> [You meander up to something identifiable as tomato plant and you think after the fiasco with carrot you understand how this one's supposed to work. Just look for color! Maybe. Yeah, you're inquisitively poking plants now. "I would really like to see your tattoos! And maybe get a closer look at your mouth." Which is totally an acceptable thing to say in the world of Luveni. You don't even stop
[23:20] <Luveni> staring at that onion like it will magically reveal its secrets to you.]
[23:27] <@Emmara> ["I think that'd be acceptable. And I want to take a look at yours." And maybe some other things. Their slips might be hinting at their own interest. Or they might just be slips. "The tattoos that is. Unfortunately, I don't quite share your enthusiasm for teeth."]
[23:31] <Luveni> [Aw, you got excited there for a minute. "Really? Damn, I'm just saying- teeth are good for a lot of things!" And your grin might be flirty. It might not be. Your expression is uncrackable. "And they're so pretty too. But! Tattoos are good!"]
[23:35] <@Emmara> [Your return grin is definitely flirty. "That they are." The automated sprinklers come on to water the plants, and you take that as a cue to leave. Holding the door open for him back out on to the landing.]
[23:39] <Luveni> [You get a little wet and hurry out of the room, laughing to yourself. "Thanks," you toss her way, because that's what you say when someone holds open the door for you! Well, that, or 'no no no, you could have hurt yourself you silly lowblood,' but. You're past that now!]
[23:41] <@Emmara> ["No problem." You respond as you close the door, and head back in to the living area. Heading to the couch and flopping in to it. "So, you want to start, or should I?"]
[23:46] <Luveni> ["I can start!" you say with enthusiasm, following her to balance on the arm of the couch. "Althought come to think of it I don't actually know what we're doing. Are you-we-getting really in depth here and sharing life stories or just showing off? Probably some intermediate there, actually!"]
[23:47] <@Emmara> [Shrug. "Showing off to start. If you've got cool stories to tell go for it. Not really any rules here." Lean again the other arm rest so you're facing him along the couch.]
[23:48] * Bobbin ([email protected]) Quit (Quit: )
[23:53] <Luveni> ["Alright then!" You hold out your right arm and trace the zigzagging parallel lines wrapped around it. "We'll start nice and easy then!" Essentially, you tip forward to hand her your arm right then. "And this is the easiest one I got!" They're not very thick lines, and they're in that blood color teal that seems randomly littered across your body.]
[23:56] <@Emmara> [Scooch forward to take his arm in hand as he leans down. Finger running along the lines. "Very cool." Trace them from where they start all the way up his arm. "Got them just cause they looked cool, or some other meaning meant?"]
[00:01] <Luveni> ["Well," you state matter-of-factly. "Trolls have very sharp teeth. The tattoo inscriber immediately to my disposal wasn't very talented, but she was gonna do something one way or another, so! Teeth symbolism, what else?" Grin a little bit, thinking back. "They were a first session sort of thing. Well, before first session-- nevermind, really. They were a bunch of assholes!" And yet you are
[00:01] <Luveni> smiling about them.]
[00:07] <@Emmara> ["Ahhh I see it now." Shift your head to the side to view it better. "Still cool on it's own. But I guess it means something more to you, eh? I'll have to show you the tattoo parlour on Derse, it's pretty well hidden away." You only found it cause of your love of exploring. "Alright, my turn then, all of mine are just aspect-y things, but I've got eight." Though only the Time and Life ones really stand out as is. "Helps keep track of what I've rolled and how many." You pull your tanktop up a bit to expose two tattoos on your left and right side of your waist. "Something like this Law one." You point to the one on your left side, it's only the shape of the Law symbol, an uncoloured outline. "Is something I've only rolled once. Just a basic mark."]
[00:13] <Luveni> [You lean forward entirely too much trying to look closely at her waist and end up flopped on the couch. "Oof!" You laugh into the cushion and prop yourself up to peer at the Law symbol. "It looks nice. You're just wrought with symbolism, aren't you?" And then you laugh a little more because that was a pun. Terrible.]
[00:15] <@Emmara> [Laugh and ruffle his hair. "Yup." Shift so the other side of you waist is visible, the Blood tattoo visible. "Someting like Blood or Rhyme which I've rolled twice are filled in with the appropriate colour. Leaves a bit more of an impact." You gesture to your right ankle, and the near invisible Rhyme mark located there. Almost hidden against the colour of your skin. "Four tattoos like that. Those two plus Mind and Hope."]
[00:21] <Luveni> ["Oooh," you make an intrigued, drawn out noise. "Okay, but where are they? I think I wanna place a bet that the Hope one is on your back. Just guessing." It makes sense to you!]
[00:26] <@Emmara> ["Good guess." You're tempted to just take your tanktop off, it'd make it easier. You know what, fuck it. He's fairly attractive, and you don't mind. You pull it off, a black sportsbra underneath and turn around. The Hope one is filled in between your shoulder blades, and once you move your hair out of the way, the Mind one can be seen on the back of your neck. If he was observant, he'd also be able to catch an unfilled Breath symbol on your upper left chest. "Seemed appropriate places."]
[00:34] <Luveni> [Oh, she's taking off her clothes. Well. This sure is something! "Aha! I knew it! Those are really good places for those sorts of symbols, really. Where else would you stick a pair of wings?" This is show and tell on both ends, right? Is it okay if you just sort of... you start to unbutton your shirt. The outline of a heart immediately becomes visible over where your heart theoretically is-
[00:34] <Luveni> it's outlined twice over in deep blue and some sort of neon shade of green.]
[00:37] <@Emmara> [Nice. He's losing clothes, this is excellent. "Very nice. For friends? Loved ones?" You ask, as you run your finger over parts of the outline.]
[00:47] <Luveni> ["Former matesprits?" you offer tentatively, sheepishly. She is totally touching your chest. You're not sure why this is a surprise. Wait. Yes you are, you did not see this coming at all. "I mean, uh, technically the green one was a boyfriend, but he said it was okay if I called him matesprit too!"]
[00:52] <@Emmara> [Nod. "The two are...mostly comparable. Some slight cultural differences, but mostly the same." Take the hand that was touching his chest and hold up for him to look at, this one has the Time symbol on it, as well as a few additional gears, an ocarina and a ribbon winding around your wrist. "Time, for having rolled it twice, gets some additional symbols associated with it."]
[00:56] <Luveni> [Look at it curiously, and, figuring that since she's been touching yours a lot, you reach up and run your finger across the ribbon. "Really neat. I've only rolled Time once, myself, and haha," you shake your head. "Nope! I'd really rather not again."]
[00:58] <@Emmara> [Smile encouragingly at him. "Oh, I never found it too terribly bad." The survival rate might have something to do with it. "And of course, Life, for being my native and most rolled..." You simply gesture at the tattoo that runs from your foot all the way up, disappearing in to your shorts.]
[01:03] <Luveni> ["Me and Time just never got along, I guess! Maybe that means I'll roll it more," and you're briefly aggravated by this, but the idea of running your hand up her leg is far too pleasing to stay so! You rest you hand on her knee. "That's a lot of detail. Wonder if I'd be able to sit through anything that complicated?"]
[01:07] <@Emmara> [The idea of him running a hand up your leg is even more pleasing to you. "I was Life at the time, so the Growth made it so that it was no more painful than someone tracing a finger across your leg." Shoot a flirty grin at him. "Though I'm not entirely sure what I'll do when I roll it again."]
[01:10] <Luveni> [There's a little bit of teal coming to your cheeks now, but still you grin, and you start to thumb small circles on her knee in thought. "Weeeell, you could make it grow? Add some more, I mean, on some other untamed patch of skin."]
[01:13] <@Emmara> ["True. Rest of my foot is free, as is the other end if you wanted to see~." Grin at him again, flashing your teeth.]
[01:22] <Luveni> [Definitely a teal flush there now, and her teeth catch your eye and oh fuck. "Is that a serious offer?" Your voice jumps into this shuddery sort of 'holy fuck she has really nice teeth' octave and that is super embarrassing.]
[01:24] <@Emmara> [You pull him towards you, though not so hard that he can't back away if he wants to and bring him in for a kiss. "If it wasn't, I wouldn't be making it." grin again.]
[01:31] <Luveni> [You can't even argue with that. Settle your hands on her sides, and there sure are a lot of grins being passed around. You kiss her. You're a /good/ kisser. Sort of comes with the oral fixation.]
[01:34] <@Emmara> [That is a pleasant surprise! You're pretty good yourself, quickly getting in to the kissing, flashing a grin to him every so often. One hand sliding down his side to his ass, the other going up to lightly massage the base of his horn. Seeing how he reacts to that.]
[01:47] <Luveni> [You start to purr, getting slow and maybe a little lethargic in your movements. Run your hand along her side, from her leg to her ribcage, steady, up and down. Apparently your horn is the 'slow down and pet me gently, Luveni' switch.]
[01:55] <@Emmara> [Well that wasn't /quite/ what you expected. Though hardly an unpleasant result. Your hand slips away from his horn into the back of his head where you scratch his scalp. Pulling him in to a long kiss as you continue to grope his ass.]
