Ragna Edgson 11/12 near Tisse

so about those physical changes we all know they're a thing and they said something about this being some crap with souls and yadda yadda but how can you tell for sure a change is retrospec's bullshit? i'm not talking about your eyes turning pink overnight or growing a third arm or cat ears or what have you i mean more like... when you wake up and discover a tattoo or two on you that sure as hell weren't there yesterday and a piercing too how do you know this is caused by retrospec and not because you got wasted last night and might have done some dumb shit on the way home (that you don't exactly remember anyway)? metaphorically speaking ofc

Well, how much of an edgelord was your other self?

If they were edgy enough to go out and get piercings, then yeah. Probably Retrospec.

[rebellions]

i'm telling you that's not about
ok whatever

[He likely not fooling anyone but himself by saying it's not about him, so might as well drop the act.]

"edgy" huh
sounds about right, dumb as it is
that's... reassuring, sort of

[storytelleroftime]

Well I never said being an edgelord was a bad thing, now did I?

[maskreant]

might as well let someone else post this for you.

how bad can these tattoos be?

[rebellions]

thanks for telling me this now

on a scale from one to i might never face myself in the mirror again
pretty bad

[maskreant]

sorry. i'm not psychic. i would tell you earlier if i knew.

wow. it must be in an awful place or it's awful art.

[ HE'S ALREADY MAKING HIS GUESSES. ]

[thesettingsun]

If you live with somebody else, couldn't you just ask 'hey did I come in wasted last night'?

[rebellions]

i guess
but that still wouldn't tell me much about what happened
and worst of all, he'd ask questions

[thesettingsun]

It'd eliminate one possible tattoo source if you didn't come home drunk.

Sometimes you need to deal with embarrassing questions to reach the truth.

[sunnymerc]

does anything itch? does it hurt when you pee?
thats usually a good sign you made a bad mistake the night before

[rebellions]

...i'm gonna take that as a sign last night wasn't as bad as i thought
not that it makes me feel much better but it's something

[sunnymerc]

or its a sign last night wasnt as good as it could have been
depends on how you look at it!

[ohrlyeh]

quick way to verify the answer to your question: are you seriously hungover?

[rebellions]

uh
it's been worse
i sure as hell ain't leaving the bed today
but i'm still alive and typing so

[ohrlyeh]

that...doesn't help.

are you the type of person who would give themselves a tattoo when drunk??

[floret]

The skin around a brand-new tattoo is likely to be sore and tender, with some irritation and bleeding. There may also be itching, oozing, or swelling. Piercings are less traumatic, but some soreness or discomfort would still be expected with one that's less than a day old.

So, metaphorically speaking, I would check the physical evidence.

[rebellions]

hey that's a good point
didn't think of that
guess that explains it!



metaphorically speaking

[lienhearts]

Sounds to me you just got wasted

What's the tattoo look like?

[rebellions]

i'm not saying

[It takes him full three minutes to realize what's wrong with his response and that's when he quickly sends a panicked follow-up.]

THAT IT'S ABOUT ME

[me_matey]

i mean

u gotta ask urself

what r u gonna do if it aint retrospec?

[rebellions]

look
i didn't think that far ahead
that goes for either option

[cheetahsenpai]

that's a pretty specific example
if the skin isn't red or sensitive from the tattoos or piercings then it's a retrospec thing

[rebellions]

so it seems
i don't know whether to be relieved or terribly disappointed

[judgementkazzy]

Normal tattoos would probably hurt the next day.
I wouldn't know, since I woke up with one a while ago.
Mine was way bigger than anything you could get in a day, though.

[rebellions]

well then
that explains a lot
glad to know i'm not the only one blessed with this shit then
