Tatsuo Kihara shared a video.
09/15 near Tisse
Got some wheels.
[ooc: 1) pretend it's not almost 20 minutes long. 5 minutes at max. 2) mute the video and listen to this instead. 3) pretend it says things like 'Tisse' and 'Chata' rather than 'Nolita' and 'Central Park']

[he can't quite describe it, but it kind of feels like when he's talking to someone and their voice goes flat]
private;
It's nothing.
I just remembered something motorcycle-related.
I doubt you'll be running anyone over, though.
Re: private;
[just... a little... especially since him and Kiryu can usually just natter on about anything]
Wait. Did you see someone get run over or did you get run over? Either way, that's not nothing.
private;
It was me.
I got run over by some guy.
Kind of?
It was in a sewer.
I doubt that's gonna happen again.
private;
And yeah, the sewer part probably won't happen, but there's still plenty of motorcycles in the city. You be careful too.
private;
He drove at me, and I blocked, and he lost his balance and fell off.
It was kind of weird.
Re: private;
like. on the one hand, you've fought tigers. some guy on a motorcycle with a lead pipe in the sewers is much more likely. and yet somehow i'm still wtfing. did you fight him after he fell off?
[ooc: LMAO i smell a regain coming for Tatsuo, w2g you two]
private;
Probably?
I don't remember the rest, but I think he hated me.
The same guy having to cut off his pinkie because of me.
So...
[ Yakuza is weird, man. ]
Re: private;
Wait, that happens when someone screws up right? Sort of a taking responsibility thing? That might give him reason to hate you yeah. Damn Kaz.
[WIKI DOES NOT HAVE ENOUGH INFO FOR TATSUO'S PURPOSES]
whoops my bad
The pinkie thing really happens, though.
If you screw up, you get a knife, a towel, and a board.
You can probably picture the rest.
It's really hardcore.

private;
I saw this guy cut his finger off.
I guess he was pretty strong because he was still able to drive a motorcycle.
Re: private;
but doesn't that make it pretty easy to spot someone who's yakuza?
private;
Some guys get prosthetic fingers or wear special gloves, that kind of thing.
Originally it was done so you couldn't hold a sword, but nowadays it really is only for appearances.
Re: private;
huh. the sword thing makes sense. it would weaken your grip. kind of a suitable punishment in a live-by-the-sword kind of world.
you say prosthetic finger, but all i can picture are those toy plastic fingers you see around halloween time.
private;
Once you've messed up or betrayed the people who put their trust in you, everyone has to know that you're not trustworthy anymore, literally and figuratively, I guess.
[ It's pretty big. ]
I haven't dug into the prosthetics that much, but I imagine they're pretty close to passing for regular ones.
Yakuza would be the biggest demographic for them, and they make a lot of money.
Re: private;
good to know.
private;
Though passing for a normal person isn't easy when you have all those tattoos.
It must be hard...
But then you don't lose a finger if you don't mess up.
[ That's NOT the way to think of things, Kiryu. ]
Re: private;
I'd assume they keep the tattoos covered for the most part, at least if they want to keep it on the low down. Which must get rough in the summer.
That kind of is incentive to not screw something up...
private;
[ Majima probably has a good deal of trouble wearing normal shirts, for one... Good thing it's fall and they don't have to go to the beach anymore. ]
Exactly. You wouldn't betray your own family, especially when you know the consequences are so steep.
[ Just ask Majima why he got tortured-- he doesn't remember but.... ]
