Kokoro Fukouna

The most unfortunate young wizard in Yokohama

[kokorothefortunatewizard]

Hi... I'm tired.

My name's Kokoro... Kokoro Fukouna. Uh... I'm fifteen years old, currently working as Ms. Yosano's assistant, really need a nap... ignore the eyes. Those aren't your concern. I'm going to go take a nap...

ooc under cut

Age: 15

Height: 5' 7"

Pronouns: She/her

Ability: Hole-Dwelling- one activated, a person of her choice cannot leave a ten-foot radius around her until deactivated. Until she lost her eyes, with every use it would kill a part of her a little more. Destroying her eye in the process of its rotting seems to have frozen the process. However, one eye and both legs from the knee down are completely dead.

A tired, narcoleptic trans girl that works as Yosano's assistant at the Armed Detective Agency. She lost one eye to her own ability and the other to a knife, though regained her eyesight thanks to a magic anon. She has difficulty walking due to both of her legs being totally numb from the knee down. She is the adoptive older sister of @rasuo.

I messed up again… my brain got really loud and really icky so I hurt myself again acci-dentally.. Oso helped me patch myself up tho! They said they did that too when they were little.. I didn’t wanna worry mr Fukuzawa so they helped me! They’re really, really nice! Like them a lot!

[kokorothefortunatewizard]

girl did nawt mean to overhear that but well she's here now

"...Hey, kiddo."

[softlullabiesneverleavemyside]

:o

Hi!! You’re kokoro, right? Oso’s big sister!!

[kokorothefortunatewizard]

"Yeah, that's me. Lot of bandages you have on your arms. You okay?"

[softlullabiesneverleavemyside]

Mhm! I used to draw on myself a lot, would make my arms all red! Haven’t been doing it as much now, tho!

[kokorothefortunatewizard]

i would usually put a "blink blink" here but she has no eyes

"...Ah. Well it's good you're not doing it as much. Why'd you do it, if I may?"

She squats down to their height. Most kids don't like her gored-up eye but they don't seem to mind. She is both appreciative and skeptical

[softlullabiesneverleavemyside]

Started in the icky place! Made my brain less loud for a while! And made me feel something!

[kokorothefortunatewizard]

"Oh god they're one of Those"

"Yeah, I get that. The loud brain part, I mean. I melt ice cubes on my wrists sometimes. Feels about the same and it doesn't leave marks. If the marks are what you're after you can use markers but it looks like you've figured that out."

[softlullabiesneverleavemyside]

Ice cubes feel the same? What if I like the marks and the feeling? :<

[kokorothefortunatewizard]

"You could dye the ice cubes I guess. With food coloring or something. Or beet juice. That leaves stains. I'm not as big on the marks so I don't really know. Some people when they get older get new piercings like every other week. I'm guessing that's about the same."

[softlullabiesneverleavemyside]

Wanna try that one! How old do you have to be for piercings? And what’re piercings?

[kokorothefortunatewizard]

"Uhhhhh like twelve or thirteen I think. And it's where you pay someone to stick a sharp piece of metal in a thin place like your earlobe or your nose or your lip. For fashion."

[softlullabiesneverleavemyside]

Sharp piece of metal… like a needle? I’ve been poked with those before! Felt funny

[kokorothefortunatewizard]

blank, disturbed stare. Moving swiftly along,

"Yeah, pretty much. They make a hole and then put a little ring or a little bar in."

she pulls up a picture on her phone

[softlullabiesneverleavemyside]

Woah! Wanna get one! Looks so pretty!!

They’re happy flapping their hands just looking at the picture

[kokorothefortunatewizard]

"It's gonna be a while before you're legally allowed. But if you still want one when you're grown I'll help pay for it."

She ruffles their hair

[softlullabiesneverleavemyside]

Big, shiny eyes. Very happy cat like child

Really? Yay!! Do piercings hurt? The needles at the icky place hurt a little, is it like that?

[kokorothefortunatewizard]

"I'd assume so, yeah. Not a whole lot 'cause they're usually in places that don't have a lot of nerves." pause. does kyou know what nerves are "Nerves are like tiny little threads in your body that're connected to your brain. They're why you can feel stuff."

[softlullabiesneverleavemyside]

Oh! Didn’t know that’s what it was called! So different spots feel less pain than other spots?

[kokorothefortunatewizard]

"Yeah. Pinch your earlobe. Then pinch the bottom of your upper arm. Hurts a lot more there."

[softlullabiesneverleavemyside]

They do so, being careful to avoid their bandages. They are so intrigued by this

Woah, it does!

[kokorothefortunatewizard]

"Pretty neat, isn't it? Bodies are weird."

[softlullabiesneverleavemyside]

Mhm! Learned a lot about bodies in the icky place! Super cool!!

[kokorothefortunatewizard]

"...Like what, kiddo?"

[softlullabiesneverleavemyside]

I learned a lot about organs! One of the other kids in the icky place could survive without theirs, so the adults would see how they worked without some!

Also learned a person can survive their tummies being opened up!

[kokorothefortunatewizard]

"...Oh-! That's- that's cool, kiddo."

"Did you catch any of the grownups' names or where they lived?"

[softlullabiesneverleavemyside]

That’s how I got my tummy scar! ^^

Mhm! The main grownup was Miss Chika! Dunno where she went after the icky place fell down tho

[kokorothefortunatewizard]

"Oh-! That- that's nice."

"Thanks, kiddo."

she rummages in her pockets for a moment before pulling out a lollipop and handing it to them

[softlullabiesneverleavemyside]

What’s that?? :<

[kokorothefortunatewizard]

if she still had eyes she'd be holding back tears

"It's candy, sweetheart. You take the plastic part off and eat it."

[softlullabiesneverleavemyside]

They’re still very confused, but to manage to get the plastic off

You bite it?

[kokorothefortunatewizard]

"I mean you could but it's hard candy. You just put it in your mouth and let it melt usually."

[softlullabiesneverleavemyside]

Oh, okay!

They pop the lollipop into their mouth and instantly light up

[kokorothefortunatewizard]

"It good?"

[softlullabiesneverleavemyside]

Mhm!! Really good!!

[kokorothefortunatewizard]

$)

"That's good. I'll see you around, okay, kiddo? You come find me if you need anything. My dorm's the one next to Oscar's."

[softlullabiesneverleavemyside]

Okay, miss Kokoro! ^^

Quick, tiny hug

[kokorothefortunatewizard]

lil pat on the back

[softlullabiesneverleavemyside]

Oso was right, you’re really nice!!

[kokorothefortunatewizard]

chuckle

"Thanks, kiddo. You're a sweet kid."

[softlullabiesneverleavemyside]

You’re welcome! And I am? Not used to being called that! The adults in the icky place said I was bad..

[kokorothefortunatewizard]

"Well, they weren't very smart then."

[softlullabiesneverleavemyside]

They weren’t? But they’re sci-en-tists.. think that’s the word.. heard those are smart!

[kokorothefortunatewizard]

"Scientists, yeah. They're supposed to be smart. But it doesn't sound like they were very good people if they could be so wrong about a little angel like you."

[softlullabiesneverleavemyside]

Little angel? They said I was a devil, tho..

[kokorothefortunatewizard]

"They were wrong. I promise."

[softlullabiesneverleavemyside]

Pinky promise? :<

[kokorothefortunatewizard]

"Pinky promise."

[softlullabiesneverleavemyside]

Okay… believe you!

[kokorothefortunatewizard]

"That's good. I'm telling the truth."

overcome with like seven thousand different emotions, she keels over. Thirty seconds later she sits back up

"Sorry. That happens to me sometimes when I get happy."

[softlullabiesneverleavemyside]

That’s normal? Is it a medical thingy??

[kokorothefortunatewizard]

"Yeah. You don't gotta be worried. I manage it."

[softlullabiesneverleavemyside]

How do you manage it?

[kokorothefortunatewizard]

"Sit instead of stand when I can. Be really careful on stairs. Eat really slowly. Stuff like that."

[softlullabiesneverleavemyside]

Lotta different things! I’m still figuring out how to manage health things :p

[kokorothefortunatewizard]

"Ms. Yosano's good for stuff like that. She's an actual doctor. I'm just an assistant."

[softlullabiesneverleavemyside]

You get to help with doctor stuff?? Cool!!

Haven’t met ms yosano yet!

[kokorothefortunatewizard]

"Kinda. I mostly just clean and write stuff down. Be pretty bad if I had an episode in the middle of surgery or something. Also I'm unlicensed, so it would be illegal."

"She's great. A little scary but really sweet."

[softlullabiesneverleavemyside]

Oh, guess that makes sense! Really like doctor stuff!!

Wanna meet her!

[kokorothefortunatewizard]

"Her office is right over there. She's usually okay with chatting outside work hours."

[softlullabiesneverleavemyside]

Yay!! Thank you! You’re really, really nice Miss Kokoro!!

[kokorothefortunatewizard]

"You too. I'll see you around, okay?"

she stands up

[softlullabiesneverleavemyside]

Big, shiny eyes. Very happy cat like child

Really? Yay!! Do piercings hurt? The needles at the icky place hurt a little, is it like that?

[kokorothefortunatewizard]

"I'd assume so, yeah. Not a whole lot 'cause they're usually in places that don't have a lot of nerves." pause. does kyou know what nerves are "Nerves are like tiny little threads in your body that're connected to your brain. They're why you can feel stuff."

[softlullabiesneverleavemyside]

Oh! Didn’t know that’s what it was called! So different spots feel less pain than other spots?

[kokorothefortunatewizard]

"Yeah. Pinch your earlobe. Then pinch the bottom of your upper arm. Hurts a lot more there."

[softlullabiesneverleavemyside]

They do so, being careful to avoid their bandages. They are so intrigued by this

Woah, it does!

[kokorothefortunatewizard]

"Pretty neat, isn't it? Bodies are weird."

[softlullabiesneverleavemyside]

Mhm! Learned a lot about bodies in the icky place! Super cool!!

[kokorothefortunatewizard]

"...Like what, kiddo?"

[softlullabiesneverleavemyside]

I learned a lot about organs! One of the other kids in the icky place could survive without theirs, so the adults would see how they worked without some!

Also learned a person can survive their tummies being opened up!

[kokorothefortunatewizard]

"...Oh-! That's- that's cool, kiddo."

"Did you catch any of the grownups' names or where they lived?"

[softlullabiesneverleavemyside]

That’s how I got my tummy scar! ^^

Mhm! The main grownup was Miss Chika! Dunno where she went after the icky place fell down tho

[kokorothefortunatewizard]

"Oh-! That- that's nice."

"Thanks, kiddo."

she rummages in her pockets for a moment before pulling out a lollipop and handing it to them

[softlullabiesneverleavemyside]

What’s that?? :<

[kokorothefortunatewizard]

if she still had eyes she'd be holding back tears

"It's candy, sweetheart. You take the plastic part off and eat it."

[softlullabiesneverleavemyside]

They’re still very confused, but to manage to get the plastic off

You bite it?

[kokorothefortunatewizard]

"I mean you could but it's hard candy. You just put it in your mouth and let it melt usually."

[softlullabiesneverleavemyside]

Oh, okay!

They pop the lollipop into their mouth and instantly light up

[kokorothefortunatewizard]

"It good?"

[softlullabiesneverleavemyside]

Mhm!! Really good!!

[kokorothefortunatewizard]

$)

"That's good. I'll see you around, okay, kiddo? You come find me if you need anything. My dorm's the one next to Oscar's."

[softlullabiesneverleavemyside]

Okay, miss Kokoro! ^^

Quick, tiny hug

[kokorothefortunatewizard]

lil pat on the back

[softlullabiesneverleavemyside]

Oso was right, you’re really nice!!

[kokorothefortunatewizard]

chuckle

"Thanks, kiddo. You're a sweet kid."

[softlullabiesneverleavemyside]

You’re welcome! And I am? Not used to being called that! The adults in the icky place said I was bad..

[kokorothefortunatewizard]

"Well, they weren't very smart then."

[softlullabiesneverleavemyside]

They weren’t? But they’re sci-en-tists.. think that’s the word.. heard those are smart!

[kokorothefortunatewizard]

"Scientists, yeah. They're supposed to be smart. But it doesn't sound like they were very good people if they could be so wrong about a little angel like you."

[softlullabiesneverleavemyside]

Little angel? They said I was a devil, tho..

[kokorothefortunatewizard]

"They were wrong. I promise."

[softlullabiesneverleavemyside]

Pinky promise? :<

[kokorothefortunatewizard]

"Pinky promise."

[softlullabiesneverleavemyside]

Okay… believe you!

[kokorothefortunatewizard]

"That's good. I'm telling the truth."

overcome with like seven thousand different emotions, she keels over. Thirty seconds later she sits back up

"Sorry. That happens to me sometimes when I get happy."

[softlullabiesneverleavemyside]

That’s normal? Is it a medical thingy??

[kokorothefortunatewizard]

"Yeah. You don't gotta be worried. I manage it."

[softlullabiesneverleavemyside]

How do you manage it?

[kokorothefortunatewizard]

"Sit instead of stand when I can. Be really careful on stairs. Eat really slowly. Stuff like that."

[softlullabiesneverleavemyside]

Lotta different things! I’m still figuring out how to manage health things :p

[kokorothefortunatewizard]

"Ms. Yosano's good for stuff like that. She's an actual doctor. I'm just an assistant."

[softlullabiesneverleavemyside]

I messed up again… my brain got really loud and really icky so I hurt myself again acci-dentally.. Oso helped me patch myself up tho! They said they did that too when they were little.. I didn’t wanna worry mr Fukuzawa so they helped me! They’re really, really nice! Like them a lot!

[kokorothefortunatewizard]

girl did nawt mean to overhear that but well she's here now

"...Hey, kiddo."

[softlullabiesneverleavemyside]

:o

Hi!! You’re kokoro, right? Oso’s big sister!!

[kokorothefortunatewizard]

"Yeah, that's me. Lot of bandages you have on your arms. You okay?"

[softlullabiesneverleavemyside]

Mhm! I used to draw on myself a lot, would make my arms all red! Haven’t been doing it as much now, tho!

[kokorothefortunatewizard]

i would usually put a "blink blink" here but she has no eyes

"...Ah. Well it's good you're not doing it as much. Why'd you do it, if I may?"

She squats down to their height. Most kids don't like her gored-up eye but they don't seem to mind. She is both appreciative and skeptical

[softlullabiesneverleavemyside]

Started in the icky place! Made my brain less loud for a while! And made me feel something!

[kokorothefortunatewizard]

"Oh god they're one of Those"

"Yeah, I get that. The loud brain part, I mean. I melt ice cubes on my wrists sometimes. Feels about the same and it doesn't leave marks. If the marks are what you're after you can use markers but it looks like you've figured that out."

[softlullabiesneverleavemyside]

Ice cubes feel the same? What if I like the marks and the feeling? :<

[kokorothefortunatewizard]

"You could dye the ice cubes I guess. With food coloring or something. Or beet juice. That leaves stains. I'm not as big on the marks so I don't really know. Some people when they get older get new piercings like every other week. I'm guessing that's about the same."

[softlullabiesneverleavemyside]

Wanna try that one! How old do you have to be for piercings? And what’re piercings?

[kokorothefortunatewizard]

"Uhhhhh like twelve or thirteen I think. And it's where you pay someone to stick a sharp piece of metal in a thin place like your earlobe or your nose or your lip. For fashion."

[softlullabiesneverleavemyside]

Sharp piece of metal… like a needle? I’ve been poked with those before! Felt funny

[kokorothefortunatewizard]

blank, disturbed stare. Moving swiftly along,

"Yeah, pretty much. They make a hole and then put a little ring or a little bar in."

she pulls up a picture on her phone

[softlullabiesneverleavemyside]

Woah! Wanna get one! Looks so pretty!!

They’re happy flapping their hands just looking at the picture

[kokorothefortunatewizard]

"It's gonna be a while before you're legally allowed. But if you still want one when you're grown I'll help pay for it."

She ruffles their hair

Sharp piece of metal… like a needle? I’ve been poked with those before! Felt funny

[kokorothefortunatewizard]

blank, disturbed stare. Moving swiftly along,

"Yeah, pretty much. They make a hole and then put a little ring or a little bar in."

she pulls up a picture on her phone

[softlullabiesneverleavemyside]

Woah! Wanna get one! Looks so pretty!!

They’re happy flapping their hands just looking at the picture

[kokorothefortunatewizard]

"It's gonna be a while before you're legally allowed. But if you still want one when you're grown I'll help pay for it."

She ruffles their hair

[softlullabiesneverleavemyside]

Big, shiny eyes. Very happy cat like child

Really? Yay!! Do piercings hurt? The needles at the icky place hurt a little, is it like that?

[kokorothefortunatewizard]

"I'd assume so, yeah. Not a whole lot 'cause they're usually in places that don't have a lot of nerves." pause. does kyou know what nerves are "Nerves are like tiny little threads in your body that're connected to your brain. They're why you can feel stuff."

[softlullabiesneverleavemyside]

Oh! Didn’t know that’s what it was called! So different spots feel less pain than other spots?

[kokorothefortunatewizard]

"Yeah. Pinch your earlobe. Then pinch the bottom of your upper arm. Hurts a lot more there."

[softlullabiesneverleavemyside]

They do so, being careful to avoid their bandages. They are so intrigued by this

Woah, it does!

[kokorothefortunatewizard]

"Pretty neat, isn't it? Bodies are weird."

[softlullabiesneverleavemyside]

Mhm! Learned a lot about bodies in the icky place! Super cool!!

[kokorothefortunatewizard]

"...Like what, kiddo?"

[softlullabiesneverleavemyside]

I learned a lot about organs! One of the other kids in the icky place could survive without theirs, so the adults would see how they worked without some!

Also learned a person can survive their tummies being opened up!

[kokorothefortunatewizard]

"...Oh-! That's- that's cool, kiddo."

"Did you catch any of the grownups' names or where they lived?"

[softlullabiesneverleavemyside]

That’s how I got my tummy scar! ^^

Mhm! The main grownup was Miss Chika! Dunno where she went after the icky place fell down tho

[kokorothefortunatewizard]

"Oh-! That- that's nice."

"Thanks, kiddo."

she rummages in her pockets for a moment before pulling out a lollipop and handing it to them

[softlullabiesneverleavemyside]

What’s that?? :<

[kokorothefortunatewizard]

if she still had eyes she'd be holding back tears

"It's candy, sweetheart. You take the plastic part off and eat it."

[softlullabiesneverleavemyside]

They’re still very confused, but to manage to get the plastic off

You bite it?

[kokorothefortunatewizard]

"I mean you could but it's hard candy. You just put it in your mouth and let it melt usually."

[softlullabiesneverleavemyside]

Oh, okay!

They pop the lollipop into their mouth and instantly light up

[kokorothefortunatewizard]

"It good?"

[softlullabiesneverleavemyside]

Mhm!! Really good!!

[kokorothefortunatewizard]

$)

"That's good. I'll see you around, okay, kiddo? You come find me if you need anything. My dorm's the one next to Oscar's."

[softlullabiesneverleavemyside]

Okay, miss Kokoro! ^^

Quick, tiny hug

[kokorothefortunatewizard]

lil pat on the back

[softlullabiesneverleavemyside]

Oso was right, you’re really nice!!

[kokorothefortunatewizard]

chuckle

"Thanks, kiddo. You're a sweet kid."

[softlullabiesneverleavemyside]

You’re welcome! And I am? Not used to being called that! The adults in the icky place said I was bad..

[kokorothefortunatewizard]

"Well, they weren't very smart then."

[softlullabiesneverleavemyside]

They weren’t? But they’re sci-en-tists.. think that’s the word.. heard those are smart!

[kokorothefortunatewizard]

"Scientists, yeah. They're supposed to be smart. But it doesn't sound like they were very good people if they could be so wrong about a little angel like you."

[softlullabiesneverleavemyside]

Little angel? They said I was a devil, tho..

[kokorothefortunatewizard]

"They were wrong. I promise."

[softlullabiesneverleavemyside]

Pinky promise? :<

[kokorothefortunatewizard]

"Pinky promise."

[softlullabiesneverleavemyside]

I messed up again… my brain got really loud and really icky so I hurt myself again acci-dentally.. Oso helped me patch myself up tho! They said they did that too when they were little.. I didn’t wanna worry mr Fukuzawa so they helped me! They’re really, really nice! Like them a lot!

[kokorothefortunatewizard]

girl did nawt mean to overhear that but well she's here now

"...Hey, kiddo."

[softlullabiesneverleavemyside]

:o

Hi!! You’re kokoro, right? Oso’s big sister!!

[kokorothefortunatewizard]

"Yeah, that's me. Lot of bandages you have on your arms. You okay?"

[softlullabiesneverleavemyside]

Mhm! I used to draw on myself a lot, would make my arms all red! Haven’t been doing it as much now, tho!

[kokorothefortunatewizard]

i would usually put a "blink blink" here but she has no eyes

"...Ah. Well it's good you're not doing it as much. Why'd you do it, if I may?"

She squats down to their height. Most kids don't like her gored-up eye but they don't seem to mind. She is both appreciative and skeptical

[softlullabiesneverleavemyside]

Started in the icky place! Made my brain less loud for a while! And made me feel something!

[kokorothefortunatewizard]

"Oh god they're one of Those"

"Yeah, I get that. The loud brain part, I mean. I melt ice cubes on my wrists sometimes. Feels about the same and it doesn't leave marks. If the marks are what you're after you can use markers but it looks like you've figured that out."

[softlullabiesneverleavemyside]

Ice cubes feel the same? What if I like the marks and the feeling? :<

[kokorothefortunatewizard]

"You could dye the ice cubes I guess. With food coloring or something. Or beet juice. That leaves stains. I'm not as big on the marks so I don't really know. Some people when they get older get new piercings like every other week. I'm guessing that's about the same."

[softlullabiesneverleavemyside]

Wanna try that one! How old do you have to be for piercings? And what’re piercings?

[kokorothefortunatewizard]

"Uhhhhh like twelve or thirteen I think. And it's where you pay someone to stick a sharp piece of metal in a thin place like your earlobe or your nose or your lip. For fashion."

if she still had eyes she'd be holding back tears

"It's candy, sweetheart. You take the plastic part off and eat it."

[softlullabiesneverleavemyside]

They’re still very confused, but to manage to get the plastic off

You bite it?

[kokorothefortunatewizard]

"I mean you could but it's hard candy. You just put it in your mouth and let it melt usually."

[softlullabiesneverleavemyside]

Oh, okay!

They pop the lollipop into their mouth and instantly light up

[kokorothefortunatewizard]

"It good?"

[softlullabiesneverleavemyside]

Mhm!! Really good!!

[kokorothefortunatewizard]

$)

"That's good. I'll see you around, okay, kiddo? You come find me if you need anything. My dorm's the one next to Oscar's."

[softlullabiesneverleavemyside]

Okay, miss Kokoro! ^^

Quick, tiny hug

[kokorothefortunatewizard]

lil pat on the back

[softlullabiesneverleavemyside]

Oso was right, you’re really nice!!

[kokorothefortunatewizard]

chuckle

"Thanks, kiddo. You're a sweet kid."

[softlullabiesneverleavemyside]

I messed up again… my brain got really loud and really icky so I hurt myself again acci-dentally.. Oso helped me patch myself up tho! They said they did that too when they were little.. I didn’t wanna worry mr Fukuzawa so they helped me! They’re really, really nice! Like them a lot!

[kokorothefortunatewizard]

girl did nawt mean to overhear that but well she's here now

"...Hey, kiddo."

[softlullabiesneverleavemyside]

:o

Hi!! You’re kokoro, right? Oso’s big sister!!

[kokorothefortunatewizard]

"Yeah, that's me. Lot of bandages you have on your arms. You okay?"

[softlullabiesneverleavemyside]

Mhm! I used to draw on myself a lot, would make my arms all red! Haven’t been doing it as much now, tho!

[kokorothefortunatewizard]

i would usually put a "blink blink" here but she has no eyes

"...Ah. Well it's good you're not doing it as much. Why'd you do it, if I may?"

She squats down to their height. Most kids don't like her gored-up eye but they don't seem to mind. She is both appreciative and skeptical

[softlullabiesneverleavemyside]

Started in the icky place! Made my brain less loud for a while! And made me feel something!

[kokorothefortunatewizard]

"Oh god they're one of Those"

"Yeah, I get that. The loud brain part, I mean. I melt ice cubes on my wrists sometimes. Feels about the same and it doesn't leave marks. If the marks are what you're after you can use markers but it looks like you've figured that out."

[softlullabiesneverleavemyside]

Ice cubes feel the same? What if I like the marks and the feeling? :<

[kokorothefortunatewizard]

"You could dye the ice cubes I guess. With food coloring or something. Or beet juice. That leaves stains. I'm not as big on the marks so I don't really know. Some people when they get older get new piercings like every other week. I'm guessing that's about the same."

[softlullabiesneverleavemyside]

Wanna try that one! How old do you have to be for piercings? And what’re piercings?

[kokorothefortunatewizard]

"Uhhhhh like twelve or thirteen I think. And it's where you pay someone to stick a sharp piece of metal in a thin place like your earlobe or your nose or your lip. For fashion."

[softlullabiesneverleavemyside]

Sharp piece of metal… like a needle? I’ve been poked with those before! Felt funny

[kokorothefortunatewizard]

blank, disturbed stare. Moving swiftly along,

"Yeah, pretty much. They make a hole and then put a little ring or a little bar in."

she pulls up a picture on her phone

[softlullabiesneverleavemyside]

Woah! Wanna get one! Looks so pretty!!

They’re happy flapping their hands just looking at the picture

[kokorothefortunatewizard]

"It's gonna be a while before you're legally allowed. But if you still want one when you're grown I'll help pay for it."

She ruffles their hair

[softlullabiesneverleavemyside]

Big, shiny eyes. Very happy cat like child

Really? Yay!! Do piercings hurt? The needles at the icky place hurt a little, is it like that?

[kokorothefortunatewizard]

"I'd assume so, yeah. Not a whole lot 'cause they're usually in places that don't have a lot of nerves." pause. does kyou know what nerves are "Nerves are like tiny little threads in your body that're connected to your brain. They're why you can feel stuff."

[softlullabiesneverleavemyside]

Oh! Didn’t know that’s what it was called! So different spots feel less pain than other spots?

[kokorothefortunatewizard]

"Yeah. Pinch your earlobe. Then pinch the bottom of your upper arm. Hurts a lot more there."

[softlullabiesneverleavemyside]

They do so, being careful to avoid their bandages. They are so intrigued by this

Woah, it does!

[kokorothefortunatewizard]

"Pretty neat, isn't it? Bodies are weird."

[softlullabiesneverleavemyside]

Mhm! Learned a lot about bodies in the icky place! Super cool!!

[kokorothefortunatewizard]

"...Like what, kiddo?"

[softlullabiesneverleavemyside]

I learned a lot about organs! One of the other kids in the icky place could survive without theirs, so the adults would see how they worked without some!

Also learned a person can survive their tummies being opened up!

[kokorothefortunatewizard]

"...Oh-! That's- that's cool, kiddo."

"Did you catch any of the grownups' names or where they lived?"

[softlullabiesneverleavemyside]

That’s how I got my tummy scar! ^^

Mhm! The main grownup was Miss Chika! Dunno where she went after the icky place fell down tho

[kokorothefortunatewizard]

"Oh-! That- that's nice."

"Thanks, kiddo."

she rummages in her pockets for a moment before pulling out a lollipop and handing it to them
