MrNumbers:
Septum piercing on Claire?
Morituri:
I don't want body mods until they're actually useful.
Tattoos? No. Piercings? Probably not unless it gives me a handier way to wear, eg, my glasses, or if I ever need one my hearing aid. I'm always thinking "why does this seem like a good idea to so many people?" and I never come up with an answer that's more useful than some identity thing.
I have quite enough identity as it is, thanks. In fact, probably a bit too much to really be part of polite society. I have a tendency to accidentally freak people out or frighten them. So there's really no point adding anything else that might make them feel threatened. Especially the guys from Japan.
But, hey, an SD card under my fingernail? Ear-implant bluetooth radio/phone/music player? HUD via back projector implanted in irises? Those I'd go for. Assuming, damnit, I could be reasonably sure I'd be the ONLY one using them. Which, with phones these days, I'm totally not.
Nepiophage:
No no no Claire. Nose septum piercings mean "I am a real badass chick -- In your face, loser!" . . "If you have a problem with that, then bring it on." Which would be fine, but Claire is not like that at all and would not be able to carry it off.

Maybe it's just because of his facial expression, but it looks like he's being a condescending dick about it.

It looks more like concern to me, but to each their own.

Naturally there is nothing wrong with it, but if we're comparing extremism in body mods...

There's a difference, though. Changing her sex is, something functional in that it brings her body image in line with who she feels she is. It's comparing apples and oranges.
BenRG:
Well, there was some indication that Claire might be interested in enjoying the 'endorphin kick' thing again.
However, I do think that there is more to this. I'm thinking that this is the fault of Deathmøle. I suspect that Claire has been looking at the girlfriends of other rockers at college and realised that there is a certain 'uniform' one has in the metal set... the look of which she likes! I expect to see her experimenting with leather apparel too!
This might be an interesting cause of tension between them because I think that Marten likes his ordinary-looking dorky girlfriend and more elaborate modifications are not something he wants. However, it's pretty clear that Claire has already made her decision - she seems to have been psyching herself up for this. She may not be open to being talked out of it.
P.S.:
I'm not sure that a septum piercing would go with Claire's glasses!
