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.

...wonderful. Just what I needed.

Why do they mark people? What's the point?

[upcard]

...We're not sure.

[A hesitant pause.]

I mean--we don't know for sure. Everyone has their own theories, but... either way, it's definitely to...mark us as theirs in some way.

Because kidnapping us didn't make that point clearly enough...

... This is different.

[Despite how timid her tone is, she sounds certain.]

This is...being chosen by one particular Trump--for whatever reason. U-um... I don't know about your Trump but some of them are rather kind, so please don't worry too much...!

Oh. I see. Don't like to share their toys, do they?

I'm not worried. I'm angry.

[upcard]

...O-oh.

[she's scary]

Um... I'm really sorry...that that happened to you too...
