With his holowatch firmly in place and activated, Syx strode into the small tattoo parlor wearing his most often used dark skinned face. His afro filling a portion of the space his blue head did in order to help the disguise generator. He found that the less the watch had to drastically fabricate the more realistic the disguise and the longer the charge lasted. Generating flowing hair and clothing he wasn’t actually wearing stressed the-the algorithms in the watch and increased the likelihood he’d end up looking like a CGI character come to life.Â
Smoothing out his leather jacket, Syx grinned at his uncle and leaned against the counter. Chatting about business and news since he’d been in prison. Passing on messages from those who were still inside.Â
Noticing Paige coming in he gave her a little wave, heading over toward her and plopping down in her tattoo chair as if he hadn’t turned down every offer she’d ever made to give him one. He flashed her a wide charming smile, green eyes shining.Â
“Draw up anything new while I was gone?” he always adored seeing her sketches for her designs.Â
“Wha…” Syx blinked at her reaction, his blue face going pale. Looking down at his spike gloved hands he his, “Oh shit! Don’t look at me!”
Scrambling up to his feet he looked frantically for his watch and failing that to hide. Finding no options in the small room and with his heart hammering, Syx slumped back against the cupboards. Eyeing her wearily, he tentatively responded, “Y-yes?”
Paige watched as the alien sprang to his feet, looking visibly frightened.. or at least what the woman took for fright. She could see his unease as clear as day, and it only added to hers. She didnt’ believe right now that it could possibly be Syx, that it was the man who she had befriended..Â
Until he answered her, looking at her with those same green eyes she had become accustomed to.Â
“…Holy… fucking… shit…” she breathed, staring at him in disbelief. “..I.. aaaaahh… you’re blue..”Â
Keeping one eye on her, Syx tried to get his bearings on the room around him, “Am eye? How strange. I wasn’t aware,” he replied flatly, “What I have is a headache. Please don’t scream anymore.”
From his spot on the floor, the blue man drew his legs up. The size of his head making him seem far skinnier. Focussing on just breathing, he at least doubted he was in physical danger with the tattoo artist.Â
