Hokay, so. [If Thorne doesn’t jump in with ‘that is a sweet Earth, you might say,’ Claudia’s going to be a little disappointed.] Couple of things.

First… I know Helena gave a few people space to work on crap in her rooms, and now that she’s gone those are obviously toast. Once I have more space to call my own, I’m gonna pick that up for anyone she already offered space to – Kanji, I think that’s mainly you and your bro? I'll also make some room for Project Infopool, just so we have it in more than one spot. Anyone else, I’ll figure things out as I have the space. But… that’s the least I can do for her.

Second, uh. Looks like I can still give people magical mystery tattoos of a non-Trump variety?

For those of you who weren’t in Ninjaville, they work by redirecting the energy that’s naturally in your body, moving it from Point A to Point B and making something at Point B stronger. Physical, mental, magical, you name it, I can probably figure something out. But I can’t put any more energy in from the outside, so there’s always some kind of drawback. My overlay had people figure out both the benefit and the drawback before she got to work, and I think that’s a good thing to roll with.

And before anyone asks, I cannot and will not try to alter or remove the kind of mystery tattoo we all know and… know. [She likes her own well enough, but she’s aware opinions are. Mixed.] I looked at a couple of ‘em during the jaunt and I don’t think I could alter them if I wanted to, and I don’t want to be on the receiving end when doing so backfires. You’re gonna have to learn to live with it.

Anyway. I’ll still do these for people, but probably not as many at a time as lightcycles. Permanent ink’s a big decision even when it’s not magic. If you think you want one, we can talk.

Think I can squeeze some more room outta my own space for now, so you don't got to rush for me. But ... thanks.

[There's a slight pause before he switches to private.]

And... uh. You said you ain't gonna touch Trump shit. But do you think... you can do anythin' with the regular kind? As in, not magical?

[claudiometer]

No problem. You guys just say the word if you do need it, though.

[Private]

...Possibly. I'm less sure about getting rid of something in general, but changing what's there shouldn't be too difficult. And it could probably to a magic trick or not do a magic trick depending on what you decide. [It can't be that hard to do a regular tattoo, right?]

So what kind of 'it seemed like a good idea at the time' tattoo did you get, and please tell me it didn't get horribly infected.

Private:

[truerevelation]

Yeah, that's kinda what I thought. I mean, if all ya can do is help paint over the thing sometime, that's cool... just wanna see if I can do somethin' better with it, whether or not we do the magic thing.

And, uh. Skull 'n crossbones. Came out alright. Thought it was badass for a while, but ... [He trails off. He's not exactly looking for badass any longer in the same way.]

[claudiometer]

You definitely could've made a worse choice, that's for sure, but I can see where you don't need it anymore. We'll figure something out.

[truerevelation]

Thanks. There ain't any rush, but ... kinda good to know there's somethin' we can do sometime.

Don't know if you got space for it, but I'd be grateful for a forge for a day or two, and some metal to work with. Wanna see if keepin' this hammer means I kept the skills that went with it.

[And his last overlay found forge work soothing. He could use a little of that.]

perma-private

[claudiometer]

hmm. Right now I'd probably have to reconfigure everything I do have, but that's doable. Let me know when.

[itsananimalthing]

Don't have to be big. I'll come by in a few days. Or whatever passes for days.

How much notice do you need?

[claudiometer]

Couple hours would be good, to make sure I'm not doing the space and materials all at once. What do you need other than 'metal' to work with, anything more specific?

[uzoda]

Oh wow, you know how to make all kinds of stuff, don't you?

...I'm still down for a lightcycle, right?

[claudiometer]

...Crap, did I not give you that before we got zapped out? Sorry about that, I have it done.

[uzoda]

Hey, it's no problem! I think it caught me by surprise, too. I was too busy doing... ninja things? Ninja things.

I can come to where you are! Uh. Where are you?

[claudiometer]

I set up a room. Look for the metal door.

[darkhourdear]

You can make tattoos now too?! [MAN YOU CAN DO ALL THE COOL STUFF.]

[claudiometer]

Apparently?

[darkhourdear]

That's so cool! Was that stuff you were doing in the ninja place, then?

[claudiometer]

Part of it, yeah. I was really the only person doing the tattoo part, though.

[thornsofmalkav]

You're making me really regret that vampirification renders your body EXACTLY AS IT WAS UPON DEATH FOREVER. And, like, reverts any changes you make every time you corpsesleep.

[Except Trump tattoos apparently???]

[claudiometer]

...I could always try to figure out how to tattoo a rock?

[NOT THAT SHE KNOWS HOW THAT WOULD WORK but. She's done weirder things.]

[thornsofmalkav]

I'll keep it in mind. But, uh, it'll be a while even if you do, because I want to make better tattoo decisions this time around.

[claudiometer]

No, that's legit. One of the reasons I'm not planning on doing these super often.

[Private]

[willyousee]

Claudia, would you be willing to touch up and fix a damaged tattoo? It has no magical or mystical properties that I am aware of.

Private into infinity

[claudiometer]

Sure thing. Do you want it to do anything fancy, or just be restored as is?

[willyousee]

No, thank you. Simply restored. It is a memory and an honor to carry it, and I merely wish to have it whole and intact as it once was. Would that be acceptable?

[claudiometer]

Absolutely. [So that was him Ritsuki was freaking out about during the battle... but pointing that out would be rude.]

When do you want to do the thing? Riddick's gonna be borrowing my space for a couple days soon, but as long as he's not forging it up I'm good with whenever.
