incubo: (❝ insult & injury ❞)

[ when the feed begins, finch is sitting cross-legged on his bed, a pile of fabric in his lap that's probably the jumpsuit. he's holding one of the legs in a hand and there's a needle stuck through a seam that he's evidently been repairing. finch himself looks tired, drawn, a little too thin (he's definitely not eating often enough, though that's at least in part his fault), and his hair's pulled back with a few fruit-shaped clips, exposing vivid copper-colored eyes.

he tugs the needle through the seam, fingers rolling the tiny bit of metal between them as he glances back up. ]


I was thinking, you know, I oughta' get another tattoo. [ in the tank-top he's wearing, it's evident that he has a number of tattoos already, but-- ] I've been getting one every year since I could first sweet-talk my way into the chair. [ he ties the knot off, breaking the thread with his teeth and then shoving the jumpsuit aside. he brushes the tip of the needle over his thumb, pricking it lightly, before reaching across the device to set it down somewhere. he leans back again, then, licking the drop of blood off his skin with a shrug. ] It's a weird kinda'.. thing I do. Because I haven't killed anyone. 'Cause I'm still alive. 'Cause I'm not anyone's pet sex-monster. [ a quirk of his mouth, leaning back on his palms. ]

--Anyway, if I do--and I know there's people on this tub that can do it--it's gotta' be unique, you know? I could, uh, use some help with ideas. Just saying.

[ another shrug! then he reaches up, turns off the feed. ]

Hullo again.

If you get the design on paper, I can temporarily transfer it over so you can see what it will look like?

[Harry laughs but isn't shocked.]

I can cast with my eyes averted.

I can be fun. I can also make anything temporary move, speak, or change shape.

[So, watch it, or you'll end up with a dragon that sings 'A Wizard's Staff Has A Knob On The End'.]

[personal profile] thebreakingwave 2013-05-23 04:54 am (UTC)(link)
Anything temporary.

[personal profile] thebreakingwave 2013-05-23 11:40 pm (UTC)(link)
Probably for the best, really.

[While it's not something that he's done himself, a temporary wriggling dick on someone's forehead after they've fallen asleep is funny; a permanent mark, less so.]

I only knew one person that had tattoos and his were practical. He'd said he got them in Thailand and that they were supposed to keep him safe from all sorts of stray hexes.

[Harry is not going to discuss the Mark.]

Not that I ever saw. Maybe they're all covered in them, but because they wear robes I missed them.

[...he will not think of McGonagall covered in tattoos.]

Where were you thinking of putting it?

[Noah's already looking over what he can see of his body. But it's almost clinical, the wheels going around in his head as he does it.]

I've been sketching a lot of biomechanical designs lately - ship's influence, most likely. Any particular feelings on those?

[personal profile] skindeep 2013-05-24 01:16 am (UTC)(link)
I think it'd be rather good for that part of the body. But I'd rather sketch something out on your skin instead of paper, if that's alright.

I am. That was my job back home, and I've inked a few people on board. I'm Noah.
skindeep: (If it feels right)

[He wants to say that it's a pleasure to meet him. That of course he'll wear gloves and open the needles in front of him and all the usual precautions. But then he's just a little confused.]

Pardon?
skindeep: (But when you're with me)

Video

[personal profile] skindeep 2013-05-24 01:38 am (UTC)(link)
Ah. Yes.

[And because Noah refuses to be shocked:]

Brilliant. I imagine this will be quite the interesting session.

[personal profile] skindeep 2013-05-24 03:30 am (UTC)(link)
Quite right. I'll be sure to monitor myself closely.

And for what it's worth, I don't think it's a weird thing to do at all - the tattoo every year.
skindeep: (Maybe it's hard)

[personal profile] skindeep 2013-05-24 11:10 pm (UTC)(link)
I've done just about the same with mine. Some people mark milestones, others do it just because it's a Thursday. There's no right or wrong as far as I'm concerned.

You and I have opposite problems. I'm surprised that I don't have more, now that I think about it.

I'm very lucky, yes. But also quite sentimental.

I find it hard to believe anyone could make you into a pet.

You can't tell me that actual chains could work.

I would hope you were better at manipulating people. The best of us never get caught.

[Oh no Finch you said the magic words.]

...A pet?

But surely the pet incubi could simply, ah... intercourse their masters to death.

[personal profile] godofthemachine 2013-05-24 01:55 am (UTC)(link)
Interesting...

So if you seek, ah, feeding here, then how would your willing victims be able to trust that you won't kill them?

godofthemachine: (* HATE HATE HATE)

[personal profile] godofthemachine 2013-05-24 02:12 am (UTC)(link)
As tempting as it sounds to be a participant in your little feeding frenzy, I'm afraid I still couldn't trust you.

But... tell me more about this incubus pet you mentioned.
godofthemachine: (* So many circuits)

[personal profile] godofthemachine 2013-05-24 02:45 am (UTC)(link)
Perhaps I'll think on it.

What a shame, the poor boy was killed. But I suppose once someone outlives their usefulness, it's inevitable.

[No don't kill AM. :( ]

Jealousy. Hardly surprising. Such a thing drives humans to great acts of violence, to war.

It's not weird.
I just go for skulls + shit when I just want some ink.
Noah's good though, he'll do you something cool.

Don't know if sentimental's what it's about.
Sometimes shit's just important enough.
+ you can't lose ink.
