Since we're askin' questions...

What're tattoos used fer on your home world?

Found a book in the library t'day. Got a guy--[ugly chuckle.]--with a topknot and what looks like'a lurker shark on his back. Y'don't see nothin' stupid like that back home.

Hmm...Tattoos... (Greed studies the back of his left hand, looking at the Oroboros symbol emblazoned in red.)

Mostly I think they're just body art, though I suppose some organizations make special use of them. But sometimes...

(Greed grins, and it's clearly audible)

...They mark the Special.

[sandpaperbreath]

'Mark the Special', huh?

Who's special enough fer a tattoo in your world?

[noir_epoch]

Oh, a rare few. Like me.

Speaking of, if you see anyone with a red tatoo somewhere on their body of a serpent biting it's own tail while circling a pentagram, let me know will you? And it'd be a good idea to keep your distance from them.

[sandpaperbreath]

Arright.

Y'gonna tell me why?

And maybe what a 'pentagarm' is?

[noir_epoch]

Simple: My brothers are all of the opinion that humans range from mere insects to lunch, and slaughtering them's a good pasttime.

And a pentagram is a five sided start.

{ooc: at least I think it is...}

[sandpaperbreath]

I ain't human, so it doesn't sound like my problem.

[noir_epoch]

...Say what?

...You a Homonculis? (Greed's voice was carefully nuetral, but there is an undercurrent of hostility)

[sandpaperbreath]

No. 'm an elf.

The hell's a humonculius?

[noir_epoch]

...An elf? As in long, pointy ears, tree-hugging fantasy type elf?

And a homonculis... (Greed hesitates for a moment before shrugging, though Torn can't see it) well, they're pretty much advanced humans, I guess. Just look for the tattoo I described. We each have it somewhere.

And being an elf probably won't stop the others from killing you. Might be worse, if Father learns of you. Probably get his interest up, and you'd be on a lab table...

[sandpaperbreath]

Tree-huggin--

Where'd that come from?

An' by the way, yer father can kiss my ass. I've dealt with worse before, 'm sure. Besides, if he was unfortunate enough t'land on the boat, he'd be at the disadvantage. Most don't take kindly t'such bullshit.

[noir_epoch]

Huh... No tree-hugging, huh? The Prince is devastated that you've ruined one of his favorite fairy tales...

I seriously doubt you've dealt with worse than Father.

[sandpaperbreath]

'Fairy' tales? That means?

An' don't doubt what y'don't know. 's pretty clear y'don't know the first thing about elves from my world.

[noir_epoch]

...Yeah, fairy tales. You know, stories told to young children about mythical creatures and crap? usually come with some life lesson?

And it's clear you don't know a thing about homonculi. Father could turn this entire ship into scrap without lifting a finger.
