Ya got a bit of effort to go, still.

[The main mechanism of the jewelry is pretty simple - a straight bar with balls on both ends that screw on and off. The fancy dangling bit can slide off entirely.]

[derailer]

...

[He plays around with it, and he can figure out how it works right now, but he forgot to account for this level of complexity in inserting it. He doesn't even have any piercings of his own. It didn't even occur to him that the logistics could be complicated!]

The dangling piece would prevent it from passing through... No, hold on. I have to...

[He has to check the book to see if it's described in there! He didn't think the piercing would look like this!]

[stirtheblood]

Hm? Ya can just put it in place and then run everythin' through at once, right? Like, ch, ssssshhhp!

[Vicious makes unhelpful hand gestures and sound effects.]

[derailer]

...

[He loops this in his mind several times, trying to process the information being conveyed to him, and is just vaguely starting to get it when he happens to find a page on this specific sort of body piercing, which gives it more context with pictures.]

Oh—so, I detach it, and use it from the beginning to line up where the piercing will go? Before anything has even been pierced?

[stirtheblood]

That seems like it should work, right?

[derailer]

That does seem to be the way to do it. Do you have a preference, then, on which side you would like it?

[stirtheblood]

Side, huh...

[Vicious had not yet considered this]

Nah, I think they're both the same to me.

[derailer]

...

[He puts a hand on Vicious's chest to feel for a heartbeat, to make sure it's in the same spot it would be on a human.]

[stirtheblood]

[His heart is where one would expect! This is one anatomy question I can answer authoritatively, since he was stabbed through the heart in his sleep, and presumably Misella knew where to find it]

Hm...? I meant I can use 'em both the same.

[Vicious holds up his hands]

[derailer]

Oh, that is convenient! I did not even consider that aspect, but I suppose it is not relevant, then.

[He removes his hand—his right hand—from Vicious's chest, opening and closing a fist as he considers the idea. He is firmly right-handed, and not ambidextrous. But he continues with his original logic.]

I think I will put it on your right side!

[stirtheblood]

Yeah? Pretty decisive. How come the right one?

[derailer]

If a lover of yours manages to see this and feels territorial, they may claim the side closer to the heart and one-up me!

[stirtheblood]

[Vicious lets out a startled laugh. WHAT A STRANGE IDEA WHO WOULD GET TERRITORIAL OVER A PIERCING]

Ha! What, is that how it works? They could always go for my dick...

[derailer]

They can do that too, if they wish. It is only a tiebreaker to make a choice.

[stirtheblood]

And you're choosin' goin' away from the heart, huh...? Heh, alright.

[derailer]

Mmm.

[So, all right. Ingo takes a moist towelette to wipe over that specific nipple, clearing that area, even if he's letting Vicious stay a mess overall.]

[stirtheblood]

[Vicious is, predictably, not going to react to this process clinically, and his eyelids flutter slightly as he rolls back onto his back to make that easier.]

[derailer]

Good...

[Ingo may be taking excess caution with this, but it isn't an entirely clinical process for him either. While his hand is there, he prods at the nipple gently, making sure it is hard.]

[stirtheblood]

[It definitely hardens under the attention.]

Hnn... That part written in the book too?

[derailer]

No... But won't it be easier to pierce this way?

[stirtheblood]

Dunno, ain't like I've ever done it before.

[derailer]

I will not have anything to compare it to either. So it will remain a mystery for today.

[He puts the dangly part of the piercing in place.]

[stirtheblood]

If ya try it again on someone else, you'll have to report back.

[he grins. he also shivers slightly at the touch of the cool metal]

[derailer]

[He takes one of the clean needles carefully out from his kit.]

I doubt that will happen, but I will make sure to do so if it is relevant.

...I am going to pierce you now. Is that all right?

[stirtheblood]

[Vicious's grin softens slightly and his gaze gets more hooded.]

S'more than all right. I want you to. You've kept me waitin' this long.
