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.

They rarely do.

... having some trouble, figlio?

[He's trying to joke and be light-hearted about it, but... well, he knows there are feelings there and that it's pretty complicated right now, so it might not come across.]

[Is that a bit of a psychic laugh?]

Heh. It's ... it's kind of a habit.

[His mental words have a small undercurrent of a laugh in return.]

I did not mean to tease you. My apologies. Though I wonder, why now? Did this Jaunt remind you of the Grid?

[creativefool]

Not exactly. It's just somethin' that stuck around. But ... huh. Now ya mention it...

[Kanji pauses as a thought comes to mind.]

It's kinda like the Hecatites have somethin' in common with the Cryptos. Sure, they ain't so ... individualistic ... but there's this whole making and working with your own tools thing in their culture. Bit like the way coding worked, y'know?
