[The camera shows the silver-gray face and fox ears of an Exalted Cordis, his ears and black owl wings drooping in disappointment.]

Apparently some places won't pierce the ears of people being influenced by Cordis. They wouldn't even listen when I told them I'd been considering it for a while.

So, since those places are stubborn, does anywhere know somewhere good to get your ears pierced?

There's always doing it yourself.

Clearly they've had one too many customers regret the decision three days later to keep up the practice.

Seriously, kid, it's literally one more night. Go back when it wears off. Besides, piercing fox ears would probably hurt a lot more - you have any idea how blessed thin they are compared to where humans usually get piercings done?

[foolishjustice]

I don't know how, and I don't want them to wind up crooked.

[zunge]

It's not that hard. I did most of mine with only mirrors and a little research.

[foolishjustice]

I'm sure I've felt worse. I'm good at ignoring pain.

[whateternityis]

So not the point.

Literally one more night, and then you can have a professional do it.

[... You'll have to give her a moment. Kasumi... is kind of awed by Akechi's look.]

Wow. You look really cool! But um, why did you wind up deciding to do it during Cordis moon?

[foolishjustice]

Do you know how it would work for fox ears?

[zunge]

Depends. Are they permanent?

[foolishjustice]

But I already knew I wanted to do it.

[whateternityis]

So has every human who ever agreed to a drunken tattoo.

you could also like
wait until after cordis
it's not long

[That awed stare actually seems to cheer him up a bit. She'll see the gold tips of a few tails swishing in the background.]

I've been nervous about actually getting it done, and Cordis helps quiet some anxiety. It's normally the best time to do things I find intimidating.

But apparently they won't let me.

[foolishjustice]

I already waited longer than I really wanted to before Cordis.

Doing new stuff is easier when the moon is out.

[teaserving]

well you can either wait logically and grow a pair and get it done when cordis is over or you can do it your own damned self

[foolishjustice]

No, they come and go with the moon.
That's not going to mess it up, is it?

[foolishjustice]

You can't change the design of tattoos, though.
I could just change a dumb pair of earrings once the holes heal.

[foolishjustice]

I don't want to keep waiting, but I also don't want to mess them up...

[zunge]

It could. The outer ear structure differs a lot between human and fox ears. Pierce it now, you have no guarantee it'll look how you want it to when it changes back.

What’s the point if the ears are going to disappear? Seems like a waste of money if it’s not permanent.

[teaserving]

holy shit get your act together you're an embarrassment

[foolishjustice]

Is that going to be a problem the other way, too?

[whateternityis]

You also don't know where the holes are going to end up right now. Better to start with your default ears than end up with something that's hidden under your hair most of the month. [Crowley is pretty sure, by now, that Akechi wouldn't bother with piercings if he didn't want people to see them.]

Sure, it's not a tattoo, but it's nearly as permanent. Literally one more night. Then you can start the triple with the job done.

[foolishjustice]

Haven't you ever been impatient for something you were excited for and then told you couldn't do yet?

[foolishjustice]

They're not extra ears, they replace my normal ones.
Wouldn't holes put in them stay when they change back and forth?
