Re: text;

[splasher]

.. i'm currently awash with a mix of worry, fear, and anxiety.

[judgementkazzy]

There's no really normal way to put this...
I'm really buff now? I woke up like this, literally.

[ Is it weird to send your cousin a shirtless selfie? Too late. There you go, Makoto. ]

[splasher]

but
you were really skinny

[judgementkazzy]

Yeah, exactly. I'd been working out a little bit but this is way more than anything I ever expected.
I also seem to have woken up with a tattoo on my back.
It's been a weird week.

[splasher]

you're pulling my leg. people don't just wake up with tattoos out of nowhere... do you want me to be your alibi, because you got a tattoo by accident...?

[read: while drunk?]

[judgementkazzy]

No, no, I'm serious! This isn't a drunk tattoo, this is an irezumi-style dragon all over my back. One sec, I'll show you.

[ attached.jpg let's say Majima took this? sure. ]

[splasher]

what's... going on...

[judgementkazzy]

Yeah, this is really weird. I've heard of people getting things from Restrospec but never... tattoos?

[splasher]

i mean it's not the craziest of things, all things considered... but it's pretty out there. you don't remember how you got it in the first place, or anything related to why you chose that design? if it was you who chose it, that is.

[judgementkazzy]

No... I don't remember why I have it exactly. I do know it's in irezumi style and that it probably took a long time to get done. I think I must have remembered a lot about these tattoos at some point but I mean... my name has the kanji for dragon in it, so maybe that's why it's a dragon?

[splasher]

it sounds like you know a lot about it, too. have you shown anyone else but me?

[judgementkazzy]

Just you and Majima. Why, is something wrong with it?

[splasher]

you know who are the people who get tattoos in japan, right?

[splasher]

i mean, it reminds me of the style they show in magazines of, you know. those people?

[splasher]

i never imagined you would have an aesthetic liking towards it??

[judgementkazzy]

You mean like the yakuza?

[splasher]

yes... so you might not want to tell my parents about it, for example.

[judgementkazzy]

Yikes... Okay, I'll keep it quiet.

[splasher]

you really got no idea how it happened, do you?

[judgementkazzy]

Yeah, I think I'd remember getting something this big...
Maybe I should ask if anybody else has gotten a tattoo like this from Retrospec?

[splasher]

you would probably get the same answers... like how people have been going through changes even if it isn't necessarily a tattoo?
but if you're set on it just be careful on how you ask it

[judgementkazzy]

Yeah, that's true. I guess I could be vague about it. No one else needs to know.

[ Except of course Majima and never mind the fact that Kaz remembers getting arrested... ]

Oh, speaking of things I've remembered. Do you know if you have any relatives back in Japan named Tetsu? I remembered someone who was also a Tachibana. He was my old(?) boss.

[splasher]

tachibana tetsu...? hmmm.. doesn't ring a bell. tachibana's a fairly common surname in japan though.

[splasher]

could i see your tattoo some time?

[judgementkazzy]

Yeah, I was afraid of that... I didn't see anyone familiar when I googled it.

And sure! Stop by whenever you want. From what I've seen it's pretty cool.
