Ah, this might be a strange question.

[has that ever stopped him before? nope. but the fact that he acknowledges that such a thing is even possible counts for something.]

I was curious about tattoos, and if you have them, why you got them. I know some people like pretty things on their skin, and I think that's fine. Your body's the only thing that's really yours, right?

[though minsu's been through his share of those as a shape-shifter, he's finally settled on one that has meaning to him. too much so to cast aside.]

But does anyone have one that's really meaningful to you? Like something you really wanted to make a part of you forever.

I have something like that now, and I thought I'd look for a place that does them after work.

How did those get on you? Were you like...born with them the way that some people are born with a mole or...a tail?

[it might not have started out weird, but minsu can always find a way of getting there.]

Oh, forever is nice.

[angelic_archer]

Magic. [That's not quite the correct answer, but he's not going to explain being part angel on the public network.] In a way, they're burned onto the skin, but only Shadowhunters can have these runes without going mad.

I do know people who were born with tails.

[And that isn't the weirdest warlock's mark he's heard of.]

It is. I didn't think I would have forever.

Some of them probably...aren't really people. But I've heard it can happen!

Did the runes hurt?

[angelic_archer]

In my world, they're people. Having a tail doesn't make someone less human. It's not their fault they were born with a Mark.

They do, but it's something we get used to.

[foxtrots]

Do you have a lot of different people in your world?

Ah, I'm sorry about that. They say that tattoos hurt too. I have one, but it was placed there by magic, so it didn't really hurt. My body just had trouble accepting it at first.

[angelic_archer]

I don't know if there's a lot. We have Mundanes, Warlocks, Vampires, Werewolves, different beings who live in the oceans or rivers, Shadowhunters, Seelie, and demons. There might be more if there's beings that are keeping a low profile.

Are there more than that in your world?

Drawing a mark doesn't take long so it probably hurts less than a tattoo. Why did your body try to reject yours if it was created by magic?

[foxtrots]

I've heard of most of those things. I haven't met all of them though. Some of them might even be gone by now.

I'm ready for the pain! Or as ready as I'm going to be.

My kind really doesn't like outside magic. I'm teaching mine to accept Seiji's though. He's the one who put it on me.
