The cold was making Azeria's skin numb to the touch it was starting to hurt.. She felt her internal flame flaring to keep her warm but she was more content with keeping her backpack dry. She needed to get inside. Her body was shaking from the cold of the rain but, also from early withdraw hit moderate. It didn't matter she would eventually find herself in a gutter or a back alley way to chase her pain away for another day.

Only once the heavy rain got significantly worse did she look up and see a brightly lit building.. 'Own me: Tattoos and Piercings.' She couldn't take the cold anymore. Her white hair was plastered to her skin her black shirt and pants clung to her like a second skin and her chest.. God damn it all.. her breathing was short and shallow. In another hour she would be hitting hypothermia.

Pushing her way in she corrected her massive white wings to her back and looking up and around. A brief glance into a mirror told her everything she needed to know she looked like a strung out half drowned rat. Well, half right.

"H-Hello?" She couldnt force the chattering of her teeth to stop.

Thorn was the only one working at the shop today. It was a slow day, so Rory with the Piercings clocked out early to take care of his baby girl and Thorn with the Tattoos was left. The good-for-nothing manager was out again today, and he was only going to come back an hour before closing time.

'You good for nothing junkie better not try anything', he told her for the umpteenth time that month just because the goddamn camera caught her pocketing a twenty that was strictly specified as a goddamn tip. She told him it was a tip. Betty with the Piercings told him it was a tip. But he didn't believe her, because he had a nice suit and Thorn was a junkie covered in tattoos.

Psh. She could do better than this place.

While Thorn was up on a stool "decorating" the camera's lens with a pink highlighter, she heard the store bell ring and the scent of rain flood into the room.

"Yeah, yeah, I'll be there. Hold your damn horses."

Thorn jumped down from the tool and set the highlighter aside, only to be greeted by the sight of... a soaking wet girl.

Jesus.

Now, Thorn wasn't usually the "giving" type, but she was a sucker for the downtrodden types. She raised a finger and rushed to the backroom to pull out some of the towels they used for emergency blood or ink spillage, tossing it at her direction. "Summer rains, you can never predict them, huh?"

"Yeah, yeah, I'll be there. Hold your damn horses."

At hearing Thorn speak relief flooded Azeria as she put her bag down nearby where it would remain dry. With a slightly clumsy outstretch of her wing she caught the towel and brought it closer to her. Quickly the soaked girl dried herself off starting with her white and silver hair before working over her chest and arms. Walking forward she stumbled and nearly fell as she got closer to a mirror and pulled down the high front of her shirt and looked at her chest..

In the center right where her heart was was a faint glow like a candle in the wind it was flickering and growing dimmer by the moment.

"Shit."

Looking up to Thorn she didnt care in this moment as she took a deep breath in and then out.

"Summer rains, you can never predict them, huh?"

Nodding as she began pulling stuff out of her bag.. A white box with a red cross and a small leather like bag and then a tin as she worked. Opening the white medical box she pulled out a stethoscope and put it on and checked first her own heart before then checking her right lung.. Yet completely going over to her left. Removing the stethoscope she put it into the case and flipped open the other case before looking out the window briefly and then back to Thorn.

"You squimish? I hope not. I gotta tend to myself a second."

With that said she pulled out one empty syringe with a long needle and stabbed it into her right lung before pulling on the plunger.. From there she drew a clear fluid that nearly filled the entire thing before she put it down and then she grabbed another syringe and with a carefully place movement she jammed it firmly into her chest and injecting herself. The glow in her chest grew brighter until it rounded out to nearly the size of a volly ball. Content she pulled the syringe out and packed everything up neatly. A chuckle passed from her lips as she stood comfortably before the other woman the wounds on her chest healing nearly instantly.

"Sorry bout that. I didn't want to nearly die on your floor. I kinda cant handle the cold. Plus I kinda have a semi rare condition of one lung-itis."

Thorn was, in fact, not squeamish.

She leaned against her work bench and watched as this girl help herself, whistling as she stabbed her chest with a needle. Man, that was hardcore. Most fascinating thing she's seen in a while, and she saw a lot of shit inside this tattoo parlor. She wasn't even going to ask what the glowing bits are for, at least not until she got settled in.

"You can stay here until the rain passes. Sometimes it pours like that then whoosh, it's so hot it feels like you're in Satan's personal E-Z bake oven." She adjusted the store heater to turn up the heat and walked over to a nearby counter, pouring some hot water into a cup. "Tea or coffee?"

"Thanks. As much as I love the rain. If its cold like that it can do some serious damage to my internal fire. God Id love some Coffee if you can make it an irish coffee. If not then I can."

She grinned a bit while reaching into her bad and pulling out a red crystal and snapping it into four pieces and then putting one on her tongue.. Much like sugar into water it dissolved onto her tongue instantly. Which made her shiver and moan softly.

"God yes. Its been all day since I had a taste."

Azeria whispered out as she put the remaining pieces into a container of 'mints' and then put the rest of the main bag into her book bag once more. Looking over the other female she grinned lightly while looking her over. There was hunger and fascination in her gaze.

"Whoa.. Your ink.. Is spectacular."

This was more of an observation of the drug on her mind, but it was also her acknowledging that the other woman's ink was also beautiful.

"Some weird magical shit, right? I hear you. Too much water's not good for me either. They get into my holes and start messing with my internal wiring. Trying to clean up your body filters is a bitch."

Thorn watched the girl do a thing with a red crystal and... she looked delighted. That made her curious. It was a substance she hasn't tried before, and apparently it was good. But how good?

That's what made her antsy.

How good?

"What is that?" she asked softly, but there was unconstrained curiosity in her voice.

She chuckled at the ink compliment. That was almost the first thing people noticed about her, and she was wearing a pretty revealing tube top that hid almost nothing, vines crawling everywhere and roses planted on her collarbones. She winked at her as she poured the coffee into a cup. "Just cheap store 3 in 1 shit, apparently. We don't get the nice coffees in this shit shop. And you know what? Thanks. So few people appreciate ink these days. You got any tats?"

"This?"

Azeria asked gently while holding up another small breath mint sized section in her hand. Her curiosity peaked at the sudden inquiry. Holding it up the piece nearly looked like a hunk of broken glass more than anything else. Taking a small breath in she let it out slowly before walking forward and holding out the piece. It was more for Thorn to examine it more than anything else.

"It's called red crystal. This grade that I have is pure."

Chuckling a bit at Thorns jab at the coffee she shrugged a bit before holding her hand out. Taking the mug she took a healthy sip and sighed in pleasure. It had no weight in the world for her if the coffee was shit or the best ever.. It had caffeine and it was warm. Fuck it.

"It doesn't taste like complete dirt. Its ok. Mmm And your welcome about the ink I wish I could get some. I cant get any unless you like digging the needles in Flesh. I heal way too damned fast."

A chuckle passed through her lips as she took another healthy swig of her cup, taking half of the crappy contents with it.

Thorn held the red crystal between her fingers, and she had an almost irresistible urge to put it in her mouth. "Can I try this?" she asked, softly and hopefully.

Thorn shook her head, chuckling. "You know we have temporaries and henna, right? They can stick from a day to a week, and usually it's enough for people that want decoration body art without committing." She paused, wondering if she was bored enough to do this for free. She shrugged. Sure. She was hot. She liked the company of hot people. Besides, it didn't look like she was going to get any customers soon, what with the weather and all. "You wanna try it?"

"Sure." Azeria stated gently, it was a answer for both of Thorns questions summed up in one little word. While she didn't mind the idea of getting painted with Henna and temporaries it sounded rather relaxing at the very least.

The hunger in Thorns eyes it let Azeria know, the other woman was also like herself. An addict of some kind or another, It was as if they were coming out of the wood works. It was fantastic. She was in good company. With an confirming nod to Thorn she waited.

The crystal itself when touched to moisture of someones tongue dissolved instantly, like cotton candy did though a bit faster. The taste was sublime, it mimicked the taste of some unknown sweet. Though it was not sugary it was borderline divine. A rush of endorphin's would flood the body as if the body was wracked with a post orgasm bliss. The relaxing calm of the afterglow with a twinge of a gentle 'feel good vibe'. It was instantaneous, leaving mind feeling relaxed though clear. Happiness in a quick dissolving tablet.

Thorn took the crystal into her mouth.

It tasted like candy, but what kind, she wasn't really sure. It was delicious, and the friendly icy pleasure crawling around her body made it even better. She shivered in delight. It was like Cabel's stuff: it was something no raw substance on Earth could ever stimulate. Did she want more? Of course she did. That was the type of person she was. She was introduced to something shiny and new, and that was all she wanted now.

(If she did a good job with the Henna, would she get more, she wondered.)

"All right." She smiled at Azeria. "Babe, you made my day, and now I'm making yours." She pulled her materials from under her workbench and put them on the counter. "So, what kind of 'tattoo' would you want? I'm thinking..." She made a waving motion with her hand. "A great big bird on your back."
