A/N: These drabbles are the remnant of my attempt to complete a 30 word prompt list for Xenosaga. I probably won't be adding any more, but you never know. I might get bitten by the bug again sometime. They were fun to try, anyway! Each drabble was exactly 100 words in MS Word. I have no clue how counts, but it sure doesn't doesn't do it like real people.
Is anyone actually confused as to whether Xenosaga belongs to me? No? I thought not.
Evidence
The Kukais don't hide their tattoos. It's safe enough—the numbers mean nothing to anyone else—but it's also a matter of pride. If these guys knew they were shaking hands with property, Jr. sometimes muses vindictively to Gaignun during conferences. If these VIPs with realian trains attending them like slaves knew we were the 'non-people' they treat like dirt...
If only they knew that the two of them wear their real names tattooed across their palms.
The fabulously wealthy Kukais could remove those tattoos with pocket change. They keep them as the secret reminder of what they really are.
