Ginger flinched slightly when he touched it. "What does it mean?"
"The thing you saw, it looked like a samurai with dark smoke and all that jazz, it's called an Oni. Japanese demon warriors that have been searching the town for the Nogitsune, a dark species of Kitsune which is a mythical Japanese fox, it possesses people and plays tricks, foxes are tricksters and stuff. The tattoo means 'self' they label you that you are just yourself and not possessed. It might burn right now but that'll stop and when the Nogitsune is killed, that will disappear,"
"Oh… When will they find it?" she asked. She wanted -needed- to talk to Ryder.

"When they're done searching… I don't know, I'm not a Japanese wisdom seeker… All you need to know is that the Oni wasn't trying to hurt you and they can't talk for long,"
"I know it's just…seeing you so sick makes me worried. Promise you'll eat something soon? If not then I think, no I know, I'm going to have a panic attack."
"Okay. You haven't seen… Nevermind. Thank you Darren. Bye!" She turned and ran off. Once she got to Ryder's house,she knocked on the door again.
Ryder nearly jumped out of his skin. "Jesus, scared the hell out of me." He mumbled, getting up and opening the door. "Oh! Ginger! Hey!'
"I know it's just…seeing you so sick makes me worried. Promise you'll eat something soon? If not then I think, no I know, I'm going to have a panic attack."
"That sounded like a threat," He laughed, "Eat or else!"
Ginger just threw her arms around his neck and buried her face in his shoulder. Even though Darren had told her that the Oni hadn't been trying to hurt her, the adrenaline was dying down and a new wave of fear was kicking in.
(Whilst being outside for 3 to 4 hours, I got sunburned on my back and it is fucking painful.)

(I don't get sunburned but I have sympathy for you because I got it once and it hurt.)
"I'm not saying you have to! But it'd make me feel better." She mumbled, looking down, playing with the hem of her shirt.

"Hey, it's alright, what happened?" He held her tightly, trying to calm her down.
(Lucky! I'm paler than actual snow so I burn easily.)
"I will eventually," He said walking into the living room, "If he lets me," he said quietly.

(Italian… Filipino… Is tan… burning is scary and uncommon…)
She just wanted him to be okay and to continue on with her life. But of course this thing had to keep dragging them down. Down into the hell hole grave they had dug. And she was getting tired of trying to climb back out. "Maybe it isn't worth it after all. All of this sacrifice, for what?" She muttered.
"Hey, it's alright, what happened?" He held her tightly, trying to calm her down.
She pulled away and lifted her hair to show him the mark.
(Wait how tall are you?)
(Very tall :D So I guess the answer to 'what's up' "People taller than me" there isn't many people taller than me so "Not much")
"Ooo, that looks like it hurts. Does it burn? Come on in, let's get you something for that." He gestured for her to enter.

Ryan turned around quickly, he looked upset, "W-What?" He had heard her just fine but maybe misunderstood what had been said.
Her head snapped up. "Hmm? Oh, nothing, just mumbling."
"Ooo, that looks like it hurts. Does it burn? Come on in, let's get you something for that." He gestured for her to enter.
"A… A creature tattooed it on me. It won't come off. And yes, it burns." Burned was an understatement.
She entered into his foyer.
Her head snapped up. "Hmm? Oh, nothing, just mumbling."
"No, that's not what happened." he looked hurt.
(Where the frick were we?)
He walked to the kitchen and grabbed an ice pack. He walked back out and handed it to her. "Here. Try this." He hated seeing her hurt, it made him sick to his stomach.
