[Matt M]
[She almost feels weird locking it to his real name, but she goes with it. And without really knowing why she's doing it to begin with, when she feels like she's falling apart. But talking to him makes her forget how she feels sometimes. And so after this...]

You know, there's a video out there right now of a guy that looks like the type that would get hit by a bus and then pretend it wasn't a big deal when he's talking to people about it. [...] Do you think I should be worried about that guy?

	Just so. [Not really understanding the importance of that statement.] O, well, we have said I have naught to concern myself with thy looks. [A short pause after that.] People do smell better. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[...] True. So you don't care about all my tattoos either, right? [...smile.] That's because we bathe and wash and change our clothes, and thank god for that. No more thinking that it's some spirit that makes us sick and that the smell will keep it away. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Thy what? Nay, it not be that. Americans, they are always bathing in new fumes. Even their soap does sink strong. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Tattoos. [...] Um You have someone use needles to inject ink under your skin to leave permanent marks. Pictures. So we just stink in a different way, is that what you're saying? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Re: Marta/Matthew sightless 2015-10-09 05:24 am UTC (link)
	Ay, I know of it. I was only surprised. What pictures did [...] you [...] pick? May be that. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	They're more common now than they used to be. [...] Heathen ones. [...] I'm probably not done yet. Well I'm probably all sorts of stinky to you then. [But at least she's smiling a little.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Re: Marta/Matthew sightless 2015-10-09 05:34 am UTC (link)
	They would needs be heathen, I think. Dost thou think thy scent is the same from the dream? [Cheerfully lapsing away from polite conversation without concern.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Re: Marta/Matthew inkonstage 2015-10-09 05:40 am UTC (link)
	Why do you think so. I know what they are, but you don't. [...!] I [...] don't know. Nothing else was the same, so no?maybe not? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Re: Marta/Matthew sightless 2015-10-09 05:43 am UTC (link)
	Tell me. O, what a shame it is. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Symbols that have meanings in different religions from around the world. [And trying to cover awkwardness with silliness.] It's probably awful. I'm probably the stinkiest person in the whole city. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Re: Marta/Matthew sightless 2015-10-09 05:54 am UTC (link)
	[Wow she meant it literally.] What meanings? What makes thee think so? [Unrelenting.] 'Tis not Chanel, is it? I do not know I like Chanel. [Nose wrinkle.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

[Indeed she did.] I'll give you the list-
-Wheel of life/cyclical existence
-a sign of protection, blessings, power, and strength. used to deflect the evil eye (it's called a hamsa)
-a lotus flower that means beauty and non-attachment
-A figure that represents removing obstacles. intellect and wisdom and beginnings. And learning.
-a symbol of the place where the physical world and the spirit world meet, and also of the place where good and evil come together.
-and one that represents the universe

That's what I have so far, at least.

Ew, no. Chanel smells like old ladies.

	[After a long moment.] There are saints that inspire such. Nay, it does not. It is [...] without peer. A lady of my acquaintance favors it. It hides the rest of her too much. [Oblivious to how this sounds.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Re: Marta/Matthew inkonstage 2015-10-10 04:31 am UTC (link)
	I don't have a saint yet. Maybe I'll get one. There's a lot to choose from, though. Okay, not exactly like old ladies because old people have that old person smell. But like a perfume old ladies would wear. [...not letting that one go.] The rest of her? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Re: Marta/Matthew sightless 2015-10-10 04:42 am UTC (link)
	I would not presume to suggest. Yet it seemeth to me that should you desire more symbols of peace, thou needn't look so far on foreign soil. Age does not smell the same from lady to lady. [Really amused.] 'Tis all different. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Re: Marta/Matthew inkonstage 2015-10-10 04:45 am UTC (link)
	You can make suggestions, I don't mind. Doesn't mean I'll get it, but you can suggest. Might be interesting to know what you'd pick. Old people have an old people smell, and you can't tell me that they don't. [...] That doesn't actually explain anything, you know. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Re: Marta/Matthew sightless 2015-10-10 05:18 am UTC (link)
	I am not suggesting. [Slight alarm.] 'Tis a thing I just said. What do I know? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Re: Marta/Matthew inkonstage 2015-10-10 05:26 am UTC (link)
	I'm not going to automatically run out and get something if you say it. You don't have to worry about that. I was just curious. Well you're wrong. Old people do have an old people smell. That you didn't actually explain anything by saying that "it's all different". (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Re: Marta/Matthew sightless 2015-10-10 05:56 am UTC (link)
	[He leaves it, uncertain what to say.] They do not. You may not detect the difference, I say. 'Tis the same with women. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Re: Marta/Matthew inkonstage 2015-10-10 06:02 am UTC (link)
	[Now she feels awkward about it. And she should probably just leave it, but...] Told you I could find something that would be too much for you. The ink isn't even that bad. So every single person smells different, is that what you're saying? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Re: Marta/Matthew sightless 2015-10-10 06:09 am UTC (link)
	[Stung.] 'Tis neither too much nor too little. Ay, 'tis what I'm saying. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[...] You got quiet. And you can tell? [...] Can you keep track of people that way? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Re: Marta/Matthew sightless 2015-10-10 07:59 am UTC (link)
	I do not have much understanding of this custom of ink and needle. I never saw nor felt such a mark. It is not "too much." I simply... do not know. Ay. With that, and, a time or two, the manner of heart or breath. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[...] I wish I could show you. Is this part of you being a superhero? I don't know anyone else that can hear someone's heartbeat like that. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[What's he supposed to say to that? Nothing he can come up with.] Do not trouble thyself over it, angel. [Colloquially.] I have no idea. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)
