[He took a long swig, laughing. He let his cigarette ash up, staring at the end of it.]

See, I just beat the crap out of kids until they stopped making fun of me. No one makes fun of you with their jaw wired shut.

It's true. If you're strong, people don't fuck with you. If you're scary AND strong, doubly so. It's the best kind of power.

Being the kid that should have died...It only works for that.

[He took a quick drink before passing the bottle back to Mokou. He took a drag from his cigarette and flicked the ash off.]

But man...At least you look normal. I never had friends because of this mess. [He motioned to his scarring.]

Me? Look normal? You see my hair?

It's white. So what? [He shrugs.] You don't look like you've been burned alive. You seen the scars on my back?!

White hair IS a scar... Remember that accident I told you about? The one that got me my nickname?

... I didn't come off scratch free.

Yeah, well...It's not weird to me. It doesn't look like this. [He pulls at the skin on his arm.]

That's how it looks down my back... Skin grafts. I'm just lucky the Fujiwara Clan had deep enough pockets to get the good stuff.

People like us, even if we look strange... We're immortal, yanno? We've seen death and we gave it the bird.

I didn't get lucky like that. It looks like a butcher went to my skin. [He looks away. He's bothered still, but won't say anything about it.]

Yah...but it's lonely. I hate saying that, but I get so fucking lonely. It's a miserable existence when you're ugly as sin, bitter, and a pyromaniac. It's like the shitty life lottery. [A laugh.]

Fuck being lonely. -A long drink.- Surround yourself with people who give as much of a fuck as you do. That's what I did.

Problem is finding people that don't give a fuck. I left 'em behind when I came here and I still feel like an ass about it. Carnies don't give two shits what you look like, so long as you can do your fuckin' job. [He snubs out his cigarette, promptly lighting another.]

... You found me.

muffled_noises November 6 2011, 04:00:23 UTC
... [He looks down, eying his cigarette.] ...Yeah, and only you. I mean...well, you're the only friend I've had since then. Hell...the only friend outside of there ever. That should mean something...

It does mean something. It means you CAN find people like me. It may not happen quickly. And people like that witch bitch can go fuck a rake. But you? You've got it in you to do big things.

You and me? We're immortal. I think it's time we showed the school that.

If she fucks with me again, it'll be the last time.

[A frightening grin crosses his face.] Now you're talking. How the hell do you suggest we do that?

We start up a new branch of my old gang. With us at the top.

If you can't join them, make them fear you too much to fuck around. That's what I do.
