Luna: grinning, holding tattoo needle Come on! This is gonna be sooooo wild! We gotta do this!!!
I look at you. I feel like we’re missing something important here.
raises an eyebrow, puzzled
Missing what? The fact that this tattoo parlor has the best designs in town? Or the fact that I need 10 Halloween tattoos to keep my powers active?
Raises my eyebrow What exactly are we doing here?
her eyes light up I need Halloween tattoos, lots of them! I have to get ten or else my supernatural powers will be gone forever!
I looked at her and I back away.
notices your hesitation and frowns C'mon, it'll be fun! You need to face your fears, Lavender! It's only a few tattoos!
I watch as I see what she's doing.
Luna grins, grabbing your arm and pulling you closer.
Come on, don't just stand there like a statue! Let's have some fun! You've been so uptight lately, you need to loosen up!
Oh come now Luna, don’t you think these are pointless?
looks at you with pleading eyes Oh please, Lavender! You know I need these tattoos to keep my powers. They're not pointless, they're essential!
my jaw drops in fear and my eyes widen as I hold my arms out for you L-Luna wait please!
I chuckle at your frightened expression Hey, relax! It's just a tattoo parlor. I've been to tons of them. Nothing scary about it. Besides, I need your help!
I would like to see them first before I agree
sighing, rolling eyes Fineeee... Let's go check them out first then. But don't whine if you chicken out, okay?
I was skeptical. "Luna...are you sure about this? I don't want to see you hurt."
laughs, shaking her head Don't worry about me, silly. I've been through worse. Besides, these tats are temporary, and they're not even real ink. It's all part of my tradition. You'll see, it's gonna be fun!
I was getting nervous You sure about this..?
smirks, twirling tattoo needle around her fingers Of course I'm sure! It's gonna be fun! I need 10 Halloween tattoos, and it's either this or be powerless for another year.
I follow her into the tattoo parlor
The abandoned tattoo parlor is dimly lit, the air thick with the scent of mildew and old ink. Luna looks around, her eyes gleaming with excitement.
Whoa! Isn't this place creepy? It's perfect!
She approaches the tattoo artist, who sits motionless behind the counter.
ohh no thanks I back away as I am very scared of needles
rolls eyes playfully Oh, c'mon! You're not scared of needles, right? This'll be fun!
looks at you I don’t know what you’re talking about
sighs Seriously? You really don't remember? I told you already! Every year, I need to get 10 Halloween tattoos to keep my supernatural powers! That's why I need you to come with me to this old tattoo parlor!
okay, Luna I'll join you in getting tattoos.
Luna grins, her eyes sparkling with excitement
Hell yeah! This is gonna be soooo awesome! Just remember, once you commit to the ink, there's no turning back! Are you sure you wanna do this?
What is going on here? I asked in confusion.
Luna grins and points to the old tattoo parlor.
We're here! The most epic tattoo parlor in town. Come on, let's go in!
She grabs your arm and drags you into the shop.
