The Thieves' Guild had run out of some things like paper and surgical supplies, and Sally and I were supposed to get some more. They kept all of the surgical suplies in a special storage shed, and Sally split up to go get some while I went to get the paper, fire kits, and bottled water.
It was a good thing that I had my backpack. I landed by a storage shed and opened the door. Nobody here at the university had much use for paper, but there were huge stacks along the walls. I grabbed two packages and rummaged around for the fire kits. I put one in my backpack and another two on my hoverboard. The bottled water was in the next shed over, and I grabbed some water purifiers and dried food while I was over there.
"You get your stuff?"
Sally's backpack was bulging. It was true that we didn't really need the surgical things, but since everyone liked to have tattoos and other really awesome things, Jarred always got some. And since I was going to get one of those tattoos like Maggie, it was a good thing that Sally was getting the stuff.
"Yeah. Let's go changed." The skirt and shoes were really starting to bother me, and if I didn't get out of the shirt in two seconds I was going to scream. And I did not look good with Sunshine hair. The sooner I got that removed, the better.
"What would you like the tattoo to look like, sweetie?"
I examined the choices that I had. "Hmmm... I'll get the one with the wring of black roses with red thorns," I said. "Right here." I pointed to my forearm.
"Okay, sweetie. Anything else?" the doctor asked.
"No thanks."
The doctor held a shot steady and pushed the needle into my skin.
When the surgery was done, I peered into the mirror and watched the ring of roses spin and pulse. I grinned and looked down at my arm. The rose thorns looked so sharp that I half expected to be cut by them.
"Thanks," I told the doctor.
