[samantha_grey]

An old, brick edifice stands in front of the burnt-down ruins of a home in the hillside. Mountains rear up in all directions, covered in lush, green vegetation. Nobody comes this way anymore, but you have the sense that anything placed in the mailbox attached to this old structure will be found by someone, the only living person for whom this place still has any meaning.

... you dressed up as girls? [She smirked.] I have trouble believing Naruto was that convincing as a girl.

[snugglesjugs]

Hey! We were pretty girls, we even made sure our voices were change too.

[kuramaless]

[No. Do you know what else? He doesn't want to know. :| Thanks, Sam.]

Nothin'. I don't-- I don't need to know anythin' else.

[samantha_grey]

[She giggled at him and nodded, just watching his reactions with amusement.]

Alright then. You want to pick another topic now that I've seen how bad I can embarrass you tonight?

[samantha_grey]

... I would have almost paid to see that. [She chuckled.} Just make sure they never catch you.

[cyan_maid]

[Her head jerks up.] Really? You'd be willing to show me? I would love that!

[samantha_grey]

Sure. [She smirked and concentrated on her tattoo of 'notice me not.' As she did, her body took on a sort of invisibility not unlike the predator's. If she moved, she was visible as a blur of sorts, but as long as she held still, she disappeared from sight right there.]

Thoughts?

[cyan_maid]

[As Sam starts to disappear from view, Jane's jaw drops. She can hardly believe it's happening, and blinks a few times to make sure she's not seeing things. Then, she rubs her eyes.]

Oh, wow...oh WOW...

[samantha_grey]

hehe, i like this trick. Always did. It doesn't last forever, and it doesn't help you nearly as much when you move.

[She waved a hand, causing the air to shimmer with the motion.]

But it can be helpful if you're careful about choosing when to use it.

[cyan_maid]

I - I imagine it wouldn't be very useful if someone were to walk into you...!

[Which is pretty much the only think she can come up with at the moment.]

[samantha_grey]

mmm, [Staying invisible for the fun of it.] You pick the time and place to use it. Move when people aren't watching, choose places they won't walk to remain.

I'm kind of a sneaky little bitch, just as a warning Jane.

[cyan_maid]

[She smiles a bit warily.] Heheh! Erm, well, so long as you know how best to use it...that's what matters most.

[samantha_grey]

[Samantha winked back into existence and she smirked at Jane idly.] I'd like to think I have a good handle on when to use it and when not to, but that's the sort of thing that's always in the eyes of the beholder.

There's a lot of runes like these. I had some tattood into me like that one. There's limits to how often I can use them, but I've got them all the same in a pinch. You can also put some on objects or buildings. You should talk to Aladdin if you want to know more.

[cyan_maid]

Ah, yes, um, very true.

[She nods.] Aladdin, hm? I'll remember that name...it might be worth it to give them a try for myself.

[samantha_grey]

The tattoos are kind of a pain to get in, but once they're in they're on you to stay so there's that, and it's one of those things where every little edge helps.

[cyan_maid]

...

[She pales a little.]

Must they be...erm, tattoos? Is there no other way to use them?

[samantha_grey]

It depends on the rune. Some of them are put on objects. Some don't even work on your body. The golem I have in the backroom as security is powered by runes, for example.

[cyan_maid]

I see...it just sounds a little painful, a tattoo. That's all. And permanent. If I wanted something like that, I'd have to think long and hard about what I'd get.

[Just like a real tattoo!]

[samantha_grey]

Yeah, you're sore for a bit. It was worth it, but you're right. This isn't something you want to take lightly. It's not like drinking a potion and having a bad reaction for an hour. [She nodded.] Pick wisely if you do.

[cyan_maid]

Pick very wisely indeed...

[She thinks for a moment.] If anything...I'll definitely start with something that doesn't have to be carved into my skin. Just to see what it's like for myself.

[samantha_grey]

Try... actually, look up the one on melon bread. It gets put on rocks. It's really a little silly, but it kind of gives you an idea of what they are.

[cyan_maid]

Um...okay? But what in sam hill is melon bread?

[samantha_grey]

Eh? Oh, it's a sweet bread, about this big. [She held out her hands.] It's shaped like a little melon, and sometimes there's filling, sometimes even melon flavored. They make them in a country where I come from, and apparently where a few people come from besides.

[cyan_maid]

Wh - how do you even make bread melon-flavored??

[samantha_grey]

You put this custardy stuff that tastes like cantelope or honeydew melon from some chemicals into the middle of the bread... wait, you've never had, like a jelly-filled donut?

...

we need to get you out more.
