Drunken Tattoo Contemplation- CLOSED, FOR JECHT

Roy's wounds from his imprisonment and torture at Santiago's command were almost out of sight. The worst of his bruises were fading now and easily covered with make up. For Pride that meant no more waiting. Mustang could do some actual good for the company by making money with that soon to be released album of his, and Kid showed up early in the morning to interrupt breakfast and bother Roy (and Genos?) with news of his now crammed schedule. Talk shows, photo shoots, radio shows, etc. all of it crammed into the week through Valentine's and to be done with good behavior.

As if Roy was going to be on his best behavior when he was so angry still. Between Santiago, what he had been forced to watch happen to his fellow prisoners, the words of the ghosts about Pride, and terrible nightmares about violence and war, he needed a drink.

That evening in the MANTICORE penthouse, Roy was pouring himself another drink and staring at his schedule for the next day. A photo shoot, really? It's hard to look attractive when you've been scowling at the thought of a tyrannical music label for the past week straight. That's when a thought crosses his mind.

"I should get a tattoo of the Pride logo on fire." That might make the people up top squirm.

Getting Inked Up- OPEN

He's doing this. He's actually crazy enough, angry enough, and drunk enough to do this. Roy is sitting in the chair at the tattoo parlor and trying to concentrate on the pictures mounted on the walls and the people walking by the window outside instead of the pain in his arm as the artist works.

Roy had chosen something much more sentimental and mushy than his earlier ideas or Jecht's suggestions. If anyone in the parlor pauses to look or if someone squints through the window they might catch on that a name is being printed on his arm. It's the title of his upcoming album Elizabeth. Looks like it's going to turn out fancy judging by the sketch. There... might be a flower with it.

Nothing can stop him now! No regrets! Right?

"Nah. I'm a hotel receptionist that so happens to love music. My place of employment is right by Pride HQ. Name's Ruby Gordon." Eda explains.

"As a matter of fact, they left heaven with at least two things in mind: for one thing, they wanted to teach early human beings in the ways of civilization, or at least the things that make life more than mere survivals, things like art and music and writing and, in the case of my personal favourite Sariel, magic and astronomy. And they also fell in love with some of their human students and the feelings were mutual," he says, with a warm, even slightly suggestive smirk.

"He ain't got it burned into him. Besides, I give him shit over his eyes." And if Jecht had heard enough about said Hero, he would be giving Genos the same spiel.

"Thank goodness I ain't prone to talkin." She teases.

Groaning, Jecht dropped his head to a hand. "As a friend, a bandmate, and a mentor to a young kid like you, I take it as a personal failure that I ain't gettin' through to you how lame this is."

"If they truly existed, they shaped us as much as the One who created us," he replies. "Perhaps even moreso: He might have brought us into that existence, but the Watchers helped to make it truly worth living.

"But here I've been yattering away about what inspires me, yet I haven't let you get much of a word in edgewise. Whose ear have I been talking off for the past several minutes?" he asks, crossing his legs.
psyvampexperiment: (Almost normal)

"Ahhhh, a musician I've heard of, but I haven't had the honour of hearing perform," the pale gent replies. "And as a matter of fact, I am, I'm Sariel MacLeod, the newly minted lead singer of Court of Thorns."

"Sure, I had some crazy dreams," Jecht said with a broad shrug. "How about the one where I flooded a whole city somehow? Or the one where I was playing some underwater ball game for like fifteen minutes straight. You don't see ME sticking my head in a pool till I pass out."

"Ha!" Jecht stabbed a finger at Roy, as if he'd found a damning flaw in the argument. "I ALWAYS want to swim! Dreams got nothing to do with it!"
sublimelymagnificentblitz: (uwah?!)

"It -- you're twisting my words, man. I like to swim, sometimes I have weird dreams about it. It ain't the same." Seriously, how obvious could he make it?
sublimelymagnificentblitz: (awkward)

"Also drunk," Jecht noted without any real censure. If that's the worst Roy was doing to himself, they're all good. "Look, you want to go down the crazy route, I can't stop you, but I'm telling you now it's a bad deal."

"I could have a copy sent to you, along with a copy of one of my older albums, if you like. I hope it's a fair assessment of my development as an artist," the pale gent offers. "And it would make sense that a heavy metal musician would have an appreciation for classical music: the roots of metal go deep and some branches reach into the classical strata."

"Heh, you ain't kiddin. On your head and all that, but I swear to secrecy on my honor as a drummer." Jecht raised his hand solemnly, or as solemn as he could be to someone this off his ass in booze.
