Note Seventeen

[einspruch]

[Klavier sighs. And then realizes that he can sigh. He laughs, and wanders past the door in his room. And then he notices something on his right torso. A cross. He pulls up his shirt a little more and stares at it.]

I don't remember getting a tattoo. And I certainly wouldn't get one of a cross...In any case. Kairi, was it? I believe I owe you a

I have one too.

What do they mean, anyway?

[einspruch]

[Y halo thar. Pretty Fraulein alert. Grin.]

I don't know, really.

But who is this lovely vision that has come into view?

[blondwargoddess]

[Have an eyebrow raise, Klavier. And a cute little smirk.]

Wow, there are certainly a lot of friendly people here.

My name is Rachel.

[einspruch]

My name is Klavier Gavin. It's wonderful to meet you.

[Kairi has a smile on her face, happy to be able to hear again - but it falters uncertainly when she hears Klavier mention the cross]

You ... you have a marking?

[einspruch]

Ah, there you are!

And apparently, yes. I would never have picked this one out myself.

[shareoursky]

[She smiles widely, if a little sadly now, and gives him a little wave]

.. Axel has a mark like that. A lot of people do. [Something almost like a shadow passes through her eyes, but it's gone quick.] It wasn't you. It was the city. The same thing happened to me, once. [without any shyness to speak of, she pulls down the collar of her shirt to expose the top of her left shoulder - where a crown mark is partially visible.]

[einspruch]

[He sighs, and shakes his head.]

Is there any reason for the markings, that anyone can tell?

[erstwhilebloom]

Well, that's new.

...I think it's very pretty, Klavier~ ♥ [giggle]

[einspruch]

Well thank you.

But it's a bit worrying if I can't remember how I got it.

[sciencetodo]

You didn't have one before...you just got it? Interesting. I'll have to make a note about it. Seems like this isn't the first time Template has done something like this. I'll have to go back through my notes to find out about it.

[einspruch]

Yes, I did.

...Hmm. Yes. Make a note of it.

...You weren't affected, were you?

[sciencetodo]

Already took some notes. I'm going to be starting my research here shortly. I found my other notes underneath a pile of clothing.

No, I wasn't. I almost am irritated because then I could have learned more about it but...well what happened?

[einspruch]

[He sighs.]

I... I lost my voice.

[blazingjustice]

... D-Don't tattoos hurt?

[einspruch]

...Yes, Herr Forehead. They do.

Which is why I am confused as to how I have one, with no memory of getting it.

[blazingjustice]

... My point was, Prosecutor Gavin, was that maybe it's not a tattoo and just.. a marking?

2/3

[blazingjustice]

Because tattoos scab over right after they're made, and this has to be a recent addition... So if it were a tattoo, it'd still be healing.
