I agree.

Yeah, man. Where's your ink?

Everywhere. Full back, both shoulders, stomach, calf, arm. You?

Waistline, sleeve and shoulder on the right. Some of on my shoulder is still getting filled in, it kinda freaks my mom out.

My mom laughed when I came home with my first. I'm about to go get some more work done. I want to get my other calf tattooed.

My mom's totally supportive but she thinks it's weird, I know it. What are you gonna get tattooed? Some special symbol or something?

I want to get a clockwork or mechanical snake. All my tattoos got snakes in them.

Mine don't really have a theme, that would be cool though.

My theme started as a kid and got solidified in the military. I don't think theme or not matters.

Yeah? How'd it start? Snakes are a cool theme. It doesn't, I agree.

I almost died from a rattlesnake bite as a little kid but really stuck when I got in the military. I was sneaky and good at escaping. Least that was their reason.

People never think of snakes as being fierce at least not before tigers or bears or something. You bring the pride back.

It's not about ferocity. About patience and quick reflexes. That's how I see them.

It's all about the underrated virtues. Very, very cool.

I live by them. What do you have tattooed? Any meaning?

Well I've got mostly colors and designs that have personal meaning. I've got a knot of eternity at my waistline.

Most of mine are black. Though few got color. My last one has the most color.

I love colors. Black and white can be so poetic sometimes but I wanted to feel like art.

It's also impact. My all black tattoos are large. I don't think color or not makes things art or not.

No, it doesn't. Just one kind of art, I guess. I don't know. I like colors.

It's all about personal style. Why people think about them in the first place.

Yeah. It's about personal expression. My body is a canvas.

Did you get all of yours done with one artist?

Amen brother!

Damn straight! Are you inked? Tattoed chicks rule.

Yeah.

Nothing so impressive as what you've got, but...*shrugs*

What ink do you have? I'm sure it's as impressive as you are.

*blushes*

Um...just symbols. My attributes, I think. But I'm not quite sure anymore.

Your attributes? So like, shy and pretty are tattooed on you?

Mine don't really mean a lot individually, just make up cool art on all together. Except the knot of eternity.

*blush deepens* Something like that, yeah.

Well, I'm sue they're still great.

That's cool. I'm sure they are important to you and that's all that matters.

*shrugs* They are what they are, me expressing myself.

They're meant to keep me from forgetting. Only they've not really done the best of jobs.

Hey, I understand.

Keep you from forgetting what? Are you like that guy from memento?

Thanks, that means a lot. But, how so?

Who I am... What I am is probably a better way to put it, though.

*laughs* I'm sorry. It just seemed the thing to say. I really don't.

Why don't you tell me both. I'll tell you both about me too. I'm sort of an expert on being freaky and different.

*laughs*
Well thanks anyway. You have a talent for saying what I want to hear I guess. My name's Andy, did I say that?

I'm the cardinal virtue Charity. I fell from Heaven -- literally -- and now I'm stuck in mortal form until further notice.

No you didn't. And I...well...I'm Charity, obviously.

*silent for a second and then smiles*
I am so tempted to use a cheesy pick up line on you after that. How did you fall from Heaven?

Glad to know you, Charity.

Not really sure, to be honest. For all I know Father may've sent me here for a reason and I've just forgotten. It's been known to happen after a while.

*smiles*

And you Andy.

All you can do is live and hope for the best I guess. Not that I'm the best candidate for 'normal' either. When my mom was pregnant with me she fell in love with a wizard. She and I are the only non magically people in my family. I'm pretty much a freak in the rest of the world. *smiles* I happen to think being freaky is cool though.

*grins*
Thanks. We should be friends, you and I.

I'd hardly call that freakish.

Aren't we already?

It's hard for a lot of people to understand.

I guess we are!

Well I'm the Divine's manifestation of His love for His creation. Nothing can beat that for freakishness.

Of course.

*holds up his fist for a pound* Freaks unite!

You wanna hang out sometime? To be honest, I don't actually have a lot of friends.

*pounds her fist against his* For real, yo!

Sure. I'll have to check with my Guardian, first, though. But she should be fine with it.

*laughs* Rad, yo!

Sounds good. Is your Guardian... God?

No, He's my Father.

Jehanne is my guardian.

Oh, I get it. That's pretty cool, actually. Like you. You're pretty cool.
