two paintings burned

[thehangedrose]

Hmmmmm.

[There are the sounds of apt concentration over the journals, rather like someone is in the middle of a puzzle and trying to figure it out.]

[And then, suddenly, a picture (along with tiny little notes in pencil jotted to the sides) begins to form, colored in by markers.]




[There's a moment of silence, and then a sigh.] I can't help but feel something's off...

Maybe it could be shorter? Or maybe she should have a little handbag of sorts...either way, I think Guertena is rolling in his grave back home. I know he didn't like people using his own ideas from his works, but um, this is just inspiration, so it shouldn't be that bad, right? Right.

[And suddenly, there's a rustle of paper and a horrified little gasp, because Garry had just noticed that he had grabbed the wrong journal to jot this idea down. SO MUCH EMBARRASSMENT NOW]

Wait a second, I drew it here?! Oh, my, this -this is the wrong journal! Oh, how could I have been so stupid...I should really label these things!


[ooc: Open to everybody! And if you want to run into Garry, he's just hanging out in the library with his markers and journals and such. Feel free to bother him.]

It'd work better with either both shoulders or none at all.

But more to the point, get a drawing board. Avoid all future journal faux-pas.

[thehangedrose]

Um, yeah! I guess...I guess you're right. That could work.

[GROUND SWALLOW HIM UP NOW KTHX]

But a journal is a lot more portable, I think. I don't want to have to go back to my room every time I get an idea...but I'll take the hint.

[whichwayyoulean]

But they, the patterning looks pretty good. You planning on making it?

[See Garry, he's not going to judge you. Fabricwork is the most MANLY of pursuits ]

Okay, get a book with a different coloured front on it. You know, one without your name embezzled across the first page.

[thehangedrose]

Oh, it does...? Right, it does! Um, perhaps, if I can get the material...I'm not too bad with a needle and thread at all, and it would give me something to do while I'm here.

[IT IS THE MOST MANLY nobody understands how manly fashion is, nobody.]

What if they're all open and the insides look the same, though? Do I just get a journal with different colored paper, or...?

[whichwayyoulean]

And I'm sure the ladies would appreciate having new clothes to try out. Maybe you could start making bespoke dresses or something.

[He does. Come here, Garry, he will forever understand this pain]

Why don't you get one with fancy bordering on the pages?

[goldencirclet]

Wow, yer real good at drawin'!

dictated

[thehangedrose]

Oh...thank you!

[You can't see him, but he's totally blushing right now.]

I've been doing it for a while, so...I'm glad you think so.

dictated

[goldencirclet]

Who's the lady?

dictated

[thehangedrose]

Just somebody random. When you draw sketches like this, you focus more on the clothes than the actual person themselves, you know.

dictated

[goldencirclet]

So yer makin' a dress?

dictated

[psych0p0mps]

i think it looks good as a long dress

dictated

[thehangedrose]

Oh, you do? Well, I'm glad you do, um...I never really expected to get feedback on this, but I welcome it all the same.

[psych0p0mps]

heh its alright
i mean i dont know much about fashion but its very pretty :)
do you have any other designs

[thehangedrose]

Oh, wow...thanks.

[Blushing a blush over here, totally.]

Oh, I do! I like to sketch them in my spare time, actually.

[psych0p0mps]

can i see?

dictated

[thebutz]

Hey man, that's gorgeous! I love the pink! I'm not a fashion designer by any means but your art is fantastic! No need to be embarrassed!

dictated

[thehangedrose]

[asdfghjgfdsdf what is with all these people complimenting him, he feels so many comficting feelings about this.]

Thank you! Honestly...I'm just a little bit embarrassed because I don't show my work off too often, you know what I mean...?

[thebutz]

Yeah, I understand! But hey, you know, my friend Phoenix is starting an art group, would you be interested in joining?

[thehangedrose]

An art group? [Ooh, that sounds nice and inspiring.] I would, actually! It's kind of like a club, right?

[cricketycricket]

Oh, that's lovely. Like something out of art nouveau, even. I take it you're a fashion designer?

[thehangedrose]

Wow, thank you! And yeah, it kind of does look like that...

[And even though Five can't see it, he shakes his head.]

No. not really...I'm not professional or anything. In fact, I still have a lot to learn, so I haven't actually done much in the realm of fashion just yet...but I have ideas.

[cricketycricket]

Well, I wouldn't have known it just from looking at this. You've got true potential. Is it something you're looking to do seriously?

[thehangedrose]

Oh! [And there's a flustered little mumble at the question.] Um. I have, a little! Though people back home tell me I've still got a lot to learn.

[arealwoman]

That's quite a dress.

[thehangedrose]

Um, thank you!

Really, I don't know whether to be more embarrassed that this got out to the people in the castle or I'm getting complimented over it...
