10 All the blood!
Zach sits in the chair and mentally prepares for the tattoo that's about to be put on him, he doesn't know what its gonna say but apparently its gonna be on the left side of his neck. Zach asks Kev if he can place it somewhere where it won't be seen.
"What, you scared of people being afraid of your tattoo?"
.No, but i will probably get expelled from school.
"Fine, where do you want it?"
.Can you do it under my arm pit or something?.
Kev looks at Zachs chubby body, he scratches his beard and says,
"Sure, i think i can make it work nice like..."
He gets his equipment out and goes to his laptop that is at the side for a second pulling up some weird foreign text on google translate. Zach can see him grinning to himself and starts to worry about what it says.
Kev gets out some paper and traces the words from the laptop, practising for a few times he looks satisfied.
The words are placed vertically and look nice aesthetically on the paper, Zach thinks it won't be too bad.
He walks up to Zach and asks him to prop his arm up, he cleans the rib area and prepares the tattoo machine.
It buzzes to life as he tells Zach that its gonna hurt.
Due to Zach's passive resistance to pain it hurts less than it would but he still feels an intense pain on his ribs as Kev does the tattoo.
After 20 minutes Kev wipes the last of the blood. Tossing the bloody tissue away while looking at his work he mutters.
"Nice, it came out better than i thought."
He wraps the area in clingfilm and asks,
"You want to see it?"
.Yes. Zach timidly says.
He shows Zach a large mirror, Zach lifts his arm revealing a bold foreign word going vertically from just under his arm pit down to his pelvis. The words say 血を吸うリーチ, Zach doesn't recognise them but remembers that this language is used in a lot of the animes he had watched...
Kev laughs as he sees Zach staring at the words.
.Why is it in Japanese?.
"Kids now days think it looks cool so most of the tattoos i do are like this"
.What does it mean?.
"Hahaha, if you wanna find out look it up you little blood sucker.
He starts dreading what the words mean but realises that he is never going to take his shirt off so its probably fine.
.Thanks, i guess.... Where is the waste that needs to be taken care of.
"There is a bunch of stuff left over that i haven't gotten round to cleaning yet,its been pretty busy today. that dustbin out the back has it all stashed."
Zach becomes excited after hearing this, he walks out the backdoor carrying the into an ally way that has a large dust bin and trash scattered around the plcae
Zach opens the large dustbin and throws the contents of the small bin, he also drops the dreidel inside and leaves it for a couple minutes.
He receives notifications occasionally.
[Absorbed human blood +1]
[Absorbed human blood +1]
[Absorbed human blood +1]
[Absorbed human,
After a while it stops and Zach takes a look in the large bin, all the previously stained tissues are now void of blood and just have a dreidel sitting atop them.
Zach picks it up and the system gives a notification,
[Host has leveled up, please allocate your stats and spin]
Smiling at this Zach cleans up the rest of the trash and walks back into the store,
.I have gotten rid of all the hazardous material properly, that should be it for now right?.
"Yeah thanks, to be honest i usually just throw all the bloody ones away normally but if you think that its hazardous then go ahead."
.Thanks for the tattoo, see you again sometime!.
"Yeah see ya kid."
Zach walks out only just realising he needs a mask before all the stores shut, shit.
Rubbing his still throbbing side he runs towards the direct he thinks the store is.
He finds another store that actually sells masks and looks around trying to find the perfect one.
Ghost, devil, zombie, witch are just some of the many masks shown on display in this store. Zach doesn't know what to choose as he picks up and tries each of them on.
He is approached by a Blonde haired busty girl with an innocent face, while looking at her... assets he notices a name tag hanging from them.
"Is there something wrong customer?"
Startled by the sudden words he turns red and sweats then replies quickly
.Nothings wrong Zoey, nothing... i'm good.
She looks at him weirdly, looks down at her chest and realises that she has a name tag and smiles revealing a pair of dimples.
"Is there something specific your looking for?"
Playing it cool he leans on a shelf and says,
.y-Yeah, i was invited to a fancy dress party and need a mask to attend...
While standing up straight pushing his pecs out he accidentally knocks a mask off a shelf, Panicking he jumps for it at the same time as the girl is trying to pick it up.
CRASH
Zach accidentally knocks her over and falls into an awkward position with his knee between her legs and both arms placed on each side of the floor next to her head.
.I'm so sorry i didn't mean that.
He tries to ignore her blushing face, gets up and holds his hand out for her. She grabs his hand and pulls her self up.
"It's ok, please be more careful next time or you might hurt yourself."
The atmosphere gets awkward for a while but she lightens the mood by showing Zach some masks that might be good.
"What kind of party is it?"
.Errr, its the kind where nobody knows who anyone is until the end... so completely covering the face but easily taken off.
"Is it horror themed?"
.Yes, definitely yes.
"Then i would recommend this one."
She pulls out a demonic looking mask with red skin, long teeth, bulging eyes and long ears.
.lets see.
Zach puts it on and it fits perfectly, he starts posing in front of the mirror like a power ranger.
"E-hum, sir that mask is £20"
Finally stopping the posing he stops and takes the mask off.
.Isn't £20 a little much?.
"The mask is designed for paintball but no one has bought one in a while so they are on sale."
.Ah is that so, can i pay with card.
"That is fine"
They approach the counter and she circles around entering the details on the register,
"that will be £20 please"
Zach takes his debit card out and enters his code on the card reader, luckily Kev gave him a £10 discount or he wouldn't be eating for the rest of the week.
"Thank you for shopping with us"
As Zach was turning around to leave with his new mask he stops and asks,
.Is there more stock of this kind of mask?.
"Yes there is"
.Could you reserve 1 or 2 for me, i am clumsy and may break it before i use it.
"I can only reserve it for a few weeks before we sell it, if no one buys then we can reserve it indefinitely."
.Thats great thanks, see ya later!.
"Bye" She waves him out.
Alright, its time to get back before it gets dark. I also need to level when i get back Zach reminds himself.
