your advice is still pretty stellar, sensei, don't sell yourself short
i think i just need actual practice rather than zen meditation
not that i'm against meditating or anything

( sitting still just isn't her forte, to absolutely no one's surprise. )

please tell me you have a cool catchphrase
is it like a power rangers situation?
do you have a coin or a fancy totem necklace or a keychain?
is there a dragon tattoo?

Some techniques for calming the mind could be helpful. Learning how to meditate is a process in itself, it's not quite as simple as the movies make it seem.

[ Man, he wishes he had a cool sentai thing going on. Alas. ]

I do have a phrase I saw when I summon it, yes.
And there is indeed a tattoo, you catch on quick.
It's on my back, if you know what 'irezumi' tattoo style looks like.

[ Cyborg ninja born into a yakuza family, how scandalous. ]

alright, alright, you convinced me
we'll split it 50/50 between superhero boot camp and zen af mind-mastery class
i won't say no to some weird tea if you know what i mean

( skye, please don't ask your sensei to do magic mushrooms with you ... even if it would be really amazing ... )

i don't actually know what irezumi means but the only tattoos i've ever seen that would fit on a ninja would be the stuff that looks like it should be in a watercolor painting
koi fish and flowers and lots of insane line work

( her mental image is something like this, but she definitely wouldn't know the words to connect it to. )

That sounds like a perfectly reasonable compromise. I'm up for it.

[ He pauses... then laughs, throwing his head back. ]

Unfortunately that's not really my area, as fun as it sounds.
With all of these cybernetics, I can't get drunk or high anymore.
Easily, anyway.

That's exactly it. I have a green dragon on my back.
My brother has his wrapped around an arm.
It's the focus point for the spirit, essentially.

if it makes you feel any better, i haven't really tried since i figured out i can shake and bake half a city block
losing control hasn't been on the to-do list, you know?

( she's had a drink here or there... but white girl wasted? not so much. )

ps how many lessons do i have to pass before you show me the dragon tattoo?

[flowlikewater]

That is a very wise decision. It's always best to avoid unpredictability when you don't have all the answers for the time being.

[ Genji's still snickering. ]

Unfortunately it's rather hard to see nowadays, I have a lot of things covering most of my back.
But you can see its head peaking out on my shoulder.
I'll be sure to wear a tank top sometime.

[evite]

i'll take the compliments where i can get them

and i look forward to your tank top show-off session
i promise, your heroic sacrifice will be appreciated
