Several days into the library liminal

[what_do_you_see]

Several people remarking to everyone about new tattoos. Might be best to do a role call: who here has been marked by the facists that run this prison?

[Rorschach does not give a damn about anyone else, so]

Show me.

excuse me while I get lazy and copy/paste from his first broadcast as I whistle innocently

[failgoyle]

Alright, give me a second...

[The video feed cuts on, and Jules now has some mirrors set up in one of the Workshop bathrooms. Because this is what he's seeing through his own eyes, his Mask isn't a thing--he looks like his normal purple gargoyle self, horns and tiny wings and all.

What is not normal is the fact that between the wings, a tattoo starts. It's a waterfall topped with twelve stars! And down the waterfall is a sunglasses-wearing pink pelican surfing down the waterfall on a heart-shaped shield with the symbol of Venus inscribed on it. The waterfall then segues into three very large roses, which are much, much lower on Jules's body, and...

...yeah. That's his butt. The thorny stems on the roses continue onto his gargoyle tail, winding around the base.]

[what_do_you_see]

[That. Is not what Rorschach was expecting. Well, as much as Rorschach is actually a prude, he doesn't care that much about seeing a body in this context - it's pretty clear that Jules does not have a lascivious bone in his body. Still, that is a very uncomfortable view for him, and the tattoo is more than a little ridiculous. So there will a very soft grunt of surprise, then a rather long pause before Jules gets an answer.]

Waterfall is the symbol of the Empress? Roses? Stars? Or all of it?

[failgoyle]

I think so, yeah.

She...kind of went overboard.

[what_do_you_see]

Those symbols mean anything to you? The pelican? Shield?

[failgoyle]

The pelican's the state bird?

[wholeheaded]

...could you please put that away, Jules? We get the picture. Literally.

[failgoyle]

Alright! Alright!

[At least he ends the stream.]

But he asked!

[rustyhonesty]

I didn't need a reminder in my head, Jules!

[He just talked about your weird tattoo, he didn't need to see it again.]

[what_do_you_see]

Visuals are useful.

[rustyhonesty]

What part of seeing someone's bare ass is useful?

[what_do_you_see]

That tattoo on it.

[failgoyle]

I can't help it if he asked for it!

[rustyhonesty]

Have you ever heard about private messages?

Luckily for you, baby Rose most likely still doesn't understand.

[willyousee]

Ah. Hm. That is very different to see than to have described. One cannot properly appreciate the scope of it. Nor the quality of the canvas. The stars and shield and roses all make sense for Empress. I am. Distinctly uncertain about the bird. Do you know if they even come in that color?

[failgoyle]

I, uh, think I saw one in that color at the zoo once.

[willyousee]

In pink? Really! I thought the pink ones were taller, with longer legs. Fallmingos?

[naturaltwohands]

By the gods, Jules.

[That is your ass on the network.]

[failgoyle]

I know, right? It's extreme.

[naturaltwohands]

It certainly was.

[uzoda]

...you do know that you can send this stuff private, right?

[Now he feels a whole lot better about his own Trump mark, though.]

[failgoyle]

I...

...uh...

...yes?

[He forgot, okay?]

[uzoda]

Maybe... maybe you should do that?

I don't care about looking at your butt, one way or the other, but if you don't want everyone being jerks about it... I'm just saying.

[ninjayeehaw]

Y'all are bein' a bit harsh, his ass ain't worse than a 6.

[He's run around in spandex too much to be judgemental of butts at this point.]

[failgoyle]

...thanks?
