Would someone like to tell me why my friend and I found ourselves with surprise tattoos? I'm fairly certain they weren't there before we returned to Liminal Space - mine would have been... noticable.

Second question: how do I get rid of it? They're pretty, I'll give you that, and points for appropriate symbolism on her, at least... but I do have an aesthetic to maintain.

[ There's a long moment of silence before Luci answers. She's going to need several more cigarettes to deal with this conversation. Explaining herself is getting old, fast. ]

I mean she is a goddess. I am a god. We were called and we ascended and we always have been. We inspire.

If I explain it much more than that, it takes all the magic out of it and it just gets depressing. No one needs that.

You mean to tell me that the Trumps can... can kidnap gods?

[He's going to be sick. Now it's his turn to take a long moment of silence.]

... may I ask which god?

[ofinspiration]

Apparently, they can.

I'm the morning star. The lightbringer. The great dragon. Accuser, destroyer, deceiver, adversary...

[ He seems clever. Let's see how many names she can run through before he guesses. ]

[He knows the instant 'morning star' is mentioned. There's this mental undercurrent of knowing that flows seamlessly into their connection, though he says nothing for a long while.]

Then forgive my impertinence, Signore. Or would you prefer Signora?

[ofinspiration]

Signora, if you don't mind.

But don't apologize. I can't always promise an answer you'll like... but questioning is what the devil's for.

[howexciting]

Very well, Signora.

The last god-like being I questioned ended up marking me with a tattoo, so I would prefer to think upon my questions first.

[ofinspiration]

Smart man.

I'll be here if you get curious again. It's not like I'm going anywhere...

[howexciting]

I have found "smart" to be an extremely relative term, of late.

[... well, if he has to deal with the Devil, he might as well play nice. She'll be less inclined to kill him that way.]

If your tattoo ever does anything... strange, like lead you somewhere, please let me know. And I will always be at your service, should you have need of me.

[ofinspiration]

...I appreciate it.

What was your name, again? [ She's perfectly aware he never gave it. ]

[howexciting]

Forgive my manners, Signora. I am Leonardo.
