Azhdahā Tattoos and Piercings

[Ebony]

Kusari gets around to Gustav's left side. "Alright now for the earring. As far as piercings go this will be pretty simple." She picks up her piercing gun and after sanitizing the ear.

[Feng]

Gustav nods, giving Ebony a thumbs up.

[Ebony]

Kusari nods and uses the device to pierce the ear and places in the desired earring. "Keep it clean and watch for any possible issues. If you see any puss in this one or the tongue piercing remove them and contact me or a doctor. Now then, let me have your hand and I'll finish up with the magic halving tattoo."

[Feng]

"Understood" says Gustav as he offers his hand.

[Ebony]

"Alright. This should be fairly quick. Now the tattoo will look like a magic circle somewhat similar to the key of Solomon but with some special tweaks. It'll make it so your spells only cost half of their usual amount of magical power. Now then let me just numb it real quick and sanitize and we will start." She passes her hand over the back of Gustav's offered hand setting in the spell for numbing while using another sanitizing pad to make sure the back of the hand is clean. "Let's start, eh?" She sets to work on forming the tattoo.

[Feng]

Gustav lets Ebony work her magic, trying his best to relax.

[Ebony]

Kusari sets to tattooing the symbol on the back of Gustav's hand. "So how is the blue mage trade these days? Still only learning the skills that hit you or are you working out the whole eat/item method?"

[Feng]

"We're still relying on traditional methods" replies Gustav. "My colleagues and I still adhere to old school style of training that is taught in my homeland. However I have encountered some who employ a strange art similar to Blue Magic once. One was this strange girl who claimed to be a Crimson Noble, apparently a vampire of sorts. The other was this eccentric green haired engineer who learned enemy abilities by scanning them. Apparently both were involved with giant robots, although the latter also worked in the field of aviation."

[Ebony]

"Marivel-chan of the Crimson Nobles and Emma-chan the scientist right? Not so surprising that a Crimson Noble can use such a similar ability when you consider they are vampiric. The whole root of the appeal of that state is the ease with which one can instigate a variation of blood rituals for claiming the strength of others. I have encountered a few who simply watch what the enemy does very closely though they hailed from a world watched over by various gods such as Ladon the dragon god." She is nearly complete with the tattoo she is placing on Gustav's hand.

[Feng]

"Ah, so you are familiar with these individuals then eh? They're certainly interesting once you get to know them. Anyways while I do envy her ability to drain the abilities of others, I feel pity for the girl, especially since she's allegedly the last of her kind. That's really a bummer. Frankly it's up there with having your entire planet destroyed by an obnoxious time parasite that slowly drains your home world of its resources and energy. That or having your planet destroyed by your own mother. I met this one fellow once who was full of angst because his mom allegedly destroyed his home planet and then wanted to destroy the one he and some friends of his were trying to invade. Weirdo..."

[Ebony]

"Speaking of Mother or Lavos there? Never understood what the problem was with Lavos in particular. He is a dime a dozen pest in the grand scheme of things but I suppose not everyone deals with a cosmic scope. As for Marivel being the last of the Crimson Nobles that may not be the case. I know that at least two other dimensions of her world have at least one other contained within them. If she were to leave her world she might even find there are other Crimson Nobles out there. In fact I remember the boss trying to unify a group of similar vampiric races together under something like the Crimson Fang or something to that effect in an effort to possibly restore their status amongst the races. That hasn't taken off quite well so far." She finishes up Gustav's tattoo. "Ah, I think that does it good sir. Care to try it out?"

[Feng]

"Your boss sounds like quite the philanthropist. Anyways parasitic destroyers are a major pain. Perhaps one of these days, after I've increased my skill and experience, I'll join a team out to save the world from such cosmic horrors."

Gustav stretching his hand, admiring Ebony's work.

"I'm up for a little practice. What do you have in mind?"

[Ebony]

"Namely a test to make sure that the tattoos perform. You'll face off against a creature I make to see if you can not only cast faster and at less cost but to see if it is easier for you to learn an enemy skill from it." Kusari answers.

[Feng]

"Fair enough!" says Gustav, sitting up from the seat and stretching. "I'm always ready to rumble!"

[Ebony]

"Alright then." Kusari claps her hands and all the stuff in the room seems to fade away leaving the two standing there. "I'm going to let you try it out against one of my pets." She rolls up one of her sleeves to reveal a tattoo that looks to be of a minotaur with blinders on. The creature seems to leap off of her flesh and take form though still appearing like some sort of living ink creature. "First let's test your casting speed and energy drain so feel free to attack. Watch it though because he will also be attacking at you."
