[Lorna] Lorna squinted a bit as she entered the room. It was a bit dark and Lorna found that disconcerting. If she were going to put holes in someone she would want better light.

[Lorna] Lorna looked back to Lizzie, holding the door. "Interesting place."

[Elizabeth] "I've not gotten anything done here yet, it seems good though," she grabbed the door from Lorna then closed it after her, stopping to look around at the interesting tattoo designs covering the walls.

[Elizabeth] There was a throb of vaguely industrial music coming from the speakers in one corner and a few leather couches for people waiting. "I did get some jewellry here once and it seems clean..."

[Lorna] Lorna glanced over the tattoo designs while she waited at the counter. They wouldn't be bad to have either she thought, drumming her fingers against the glass.

[Lorna] "It looks pretty good." Lorna smiled over.

[Elizabeth] The curtain rustled and a young man with an array of piercings in his face, wearing a black tank top, wandered out and blinked at them. Lizzie turned to him and grinned. "How much for stabbing us?"

[Lorna] The man looked them up and down briefly. "That depends on where I'm stabbing." He grinned back.

[Lorna] "I'm getting my navel done." Lorna cleared her throat before talking but her voice still came out a little small-sounding.

[Lorna] "And for you?" The young man cocked his head to the side a bit as he looked back at Lizzie, resting a hand on the counter.

[Elizabeth] "Oh...Well, I don't have many places left I want to get....Maybe my tongue?" she thought, chewing her lip. She had been considering it for a while after all...

[Lorna] "That'd be fifty dollars for the navel and hundred twenty-five for the tongue." The man didn't bother checking his pay chart. "Up for it?"

[Elizabeth] Lizzie looked up and down a little bit, thinking. The price was...more expensive than back home, but it wasnt a real issue. "I'll think on it - new boyfriend." sort of...

[Elizabeth] The man rolled his eyes and looked back to the green haired girl. "You still up for it?"

[Lorna] "Yeah, still up for it." Lorna nodded as she answered, fussing with a sleeve.

[Elizabeth] "Awesome. Just fill in one of these," he whipped a consent form out of nowhere. "And pick one of these -" he drew out a tray of different belly button bars and carefully placed them on the counter. Lizzie looked at them curiously, almost tempted to get a fourth navel piercing...

[Lorna] Lorna dug a pen out of the deep recesses of her bag and got to work on the form. "So you and Warren are 'official' now?" She grinned a bit while she scribbled through the form.

[Elizabeth] Blushing a little she nodded. "Still 'transitioning' really, as he calls it. We've been friends a long timea nd we've both been through a hell of a lot."

[Elizabeth] "You got your eye on anyone?" she asked, raising an eyebrow as she glanced down the list of piercings on the wall.

[Lorna] "Not really." Lorna chewed her lip at the answer a bit though while she finished the form. "Not yet anyway."

[Elizabeth] "Well, your class is huge so hopefully there'll be plently for you to chose from! If you wnat to do any chosing that is," she said with a grin and looked at the piercings again. Nose? No...Definately not eyebrow..."Damn, I don't know....Ah, maybe I have enough piercings?"

[Elizabeth] The man gave Lizzie a sideways look, then took the form back, scanning it then looking carefully at Lorna. "You had anyting to eat or drink recently? Any drugs or alcohol?"

[Lorna] Lorna shook her head to answer the man. "There is a lot of good eyecandy at school isn't there?" Lorna smirked back. "Won't say I haven't been enjoying the views."

[Elizabeth] Lizzie went in her bag and pulled a bar of chocolate out, giving it to Lorna. "Eat that up quick or they won't do it." The man nodded, then waved over to the couches, saying he would be a few minutes, then dissapeared behind the curtain.

[Elizabeth] "Well, I'm not looking anymore!" she grinned as she sat down.

[Elizabeth] "But...you do certainly have a bunch to pick from!"

[Lorna] Lorna laughed and took a bite of the chocolate. "Yeah, I do at that." Lorna rolled her eyes a bit. "I don't have to resort to stealing any of them from anyone. I told you about that right?"

[Lorna] Lorna plopped down and took another bite of chocolate. "It was so silly."

[Elizabeth] "Mmm, well, some people are silly. Icertianly don't think you did anything wrong!"

[Lorna] "Thanks." Lorna smiled and sat back. "Lots of eye candy to look at...I spent a lot of that hike I went on wanting to see if I could bounce a quarter off of Pietro's bum to tell you the truth."

[Lorna] Lorna winked at that and finished off her candy bar. "Thanks for the chocolate."

[Elizabeth] Laughing a little about the quarter comment, she smiled. "No problem. You need it cause your blood sugar drops when you have something pierced because of the shock - tongue's the worst. I have some cherry coke in my bag for when we're done," she nodded and streched out a little.

[Elizabeth] "So....Have you and Bobby gotten through the entire James Bond collection yet?"

[Lorna] "Oh we're trying to pace ourselves." Lorna smirked. "I think the original Casino Royale is next up."

[Lorna] Lorna stood up when she caught sight of the piercer returning and went to throw the chocolate wrapper away.

[Lorna] "This way." the man gestured back where he had come from.

[Elizabeth] "Want me to come in with you?" Lizzie asked, glancing at the piercer, who looked over his shoulder at them with a slight frown. Pink lights flashed around her eyes for a second and the man blinked. "Sure. Fine. this way..."

[Lorna] Lorna gave Lizzie a quick grin for that as she went on inside and got into the chair.

[Elizabeth] The man washed his hands before pulling some latex gloves on, sorting through a tray of equiptment. "Just lie down, relax and pull your shirt up, ths won't take long." he nodded and collpsed the back of the chair with a foot lever.

[Elizabeth] Lizzie watched in interest - she'd never seen anyone else get a piercing like this done, so it was kinda cool...

[Lorna] Lorna settled back into the chair, trying to watch what the man was doing still while she fixed her shirt.

[Lorna] "So who does yours back home?" Lorna switched to looking at Lizzie instead.

[Elizabeth] "Oh, well...I used to get most of them done in a town in Cornwall near my boarding school. I sneaked out a lot as I couldnt stand it in there and I was...Well, when I found out what I could do, I just wanted to make an outward mark on myself, so went a little bit nuts. "

[Elizabeth] "I started getting my tattoos when I was still 14. Some of my piercings were legal though and when I was about 16, I started going to a palce in Camden Market for them. My brother lives in London and it was any excuse to hang out at the market, it's just so...diverse. You don't feel 'odd' there."

[Lorna] "I love places like that. That's the same reason I would always go to Las Vegas with dad even though he was working most of the time."

[Lorna] Lorna looked back up, thinking she sensed some movement from the piercer and relaxed again.

[Elizabeth] "Yeah? Is it like it is on CSI? I love that show. My brother is a huge fan and got me hooked on it one holiday when I was staying with him." she lenaed over and watched as the piercer started on inserting the tubelike needle.

[Lorna] Lorna tried not to laugh while he worked. "Well I never ran into any dead hooker bodies but you never know I guess." Lorna fought the desire to move, whatever he was doing felt funny, it was alright though.

[Elizabeth] "Ah, yes," she straightened back up, laughing a little bit. "I suppose it'll be different in real life. Everyone assumes England is like the sugary stereotype they see on films and such."

[Lorna] Lorna had to laugh a bit at that. "Yeah, I bet you get a lot of crazy people looking for Platform 9 and 3/4 don't you?"

[Elizabeth] Laughing out loud at that, she nodded. "I actually had someone ask me for directions to the Leaky Cauldron once!" she sighed, shaking her head at the memory. "It was a hot sumer, but no excuse!"

[Lorna] Lorna laughed a bit again. "Well I'll try to watch that I don't ask anything about where I could get some Daleks then." Lorna raised her head a bit to try to get a look.

[Elizabeth] "Try Camden market. Or Forbidden Planet on New Oxford Street," Lizzie said seriously, without a blink. "Oh - looks like you're done!" her eeys went wide as the piercer finished the task and screwed the ball on place on the bar.

[Lorna] "Great! How does it look?" Lorna smiled and sat up, thanking the piercer.

[Elizabeth] "Messy!" Lizzie said with an impish smile. "But they always do at first - they get better!" she lifted up her top to show off the three that she had in place around her own navel.

[Elizabeth] "Stand up slow now," the piercer said, giving Lorna a hand off the chair. Lizzie flicked her tongue again, thinking. No...Maybe she wouldn't get that done at least.

[Lorna] Lorna gladly took Lizzie's help. "Thanks for distracting me. I needed it."

[Elizabeth] "Hey, no problem! I had one or both of my idiot brothers for half of my piercings - distraction does help! Though, not my nipple...That would have been weird!"

[Elizabeth] She flashed a grin at the piecer as he took them back out to the front and handed Lorna a care sheet. "I may be back!" she promised him with another look at the price list. Oh, so tempting...
