(open) art day art day!

Who: Open to everyone, come and mingle!
Where: Garden carriage
When: Kazoo 27
What: For today the garden carriage is turned into a place to get creative.
Warnings: There's cakes. And glitter.

Whether or not you heard Romeo and Madoka's announcement, you'll know about it, unless you avoid the garden carriage somehow for the entire day (and then from then on). The changes are simple, but hopefully something to be built on: an outline made in gold paint that takes the shape of a tree with large curling branches that greets the viewer from the longer width of wall, and a fishing net draped down the length of wall by the nearest entrance, with strings hanging off it for decorations to be added to. Posters seem to be all over the carriage, carrying messages in a childish yet neat handwriting, like "Are you having a fun day? Please vote art so we can have do lots more art together!"

Small sitting pillows have been placed around so people aren't sitting on the bed of stones, and the statues once there moved to other parts of the 'garden', leaving them with sounds of the running water to keep them company.

So, just what is there to do?

THE CRAFTS;
    The group have done their best to get as many art supplies as possible, with two trunks taken from the luggage car, and filled as tidily as possible. Inside one is a variety of papers, from tissue to cardboard, decorated and plain, some that's shiny, and even the kind for origami. There's also some sketchpads set out to the side, for any larger projects.

    And in the net trunk is all the rest you'd expect: the fun supplies. Paints, inks, glue, glitter, threads, ribbons, and wooden beads, and even scissors are set inside. Some of those paints? Why, they're even shiny paints, and plenty of them. There are books too, at different crafting levels. From how to make paper cranes, butterflies, flower garlands, and whatever else you might imagine. How about a tree with stars?

    Pretend what you want's inside them, and have fun.

    Or perhaps you brought your own craft along to the carriage. Whether it's knitting, sewing or anything else creative you'd like to do, there's definitely a place for that as well! It's like there are spots in the carriage that have been left intentionally empty for people to sit down with their own tools and work.

MEMORY WALL;
    Very, very simple folded animals have been put on the corners of where the netting is displayed, stretched out to make the most of the hanging that the netting provides (you have to get creative with what you can buy).

    Looking it over, there's already what seems to be names on cards, placed around different parts of the netting. Perhaps you may recognize some of the names as people who have been on the train before, but have since left.


CAKE;
    Of course there's cake. How else would they tempt people to come and sit down? There's one large cake made out of rainbow and sprinkles, and then a collection of cupcakes, all a mix of colours and whatever shakeable edibles has been decided to be plopped on top.

    There's also a few plates of simple yet sweet biscuits cut into a variety of shapes (cat heads, dogs, dinosaurs, and even...a train), some with light icing, some not. The quality is about what you'd expect from some kids having fun in the kitchen, and the recipes are simple for it. Don't worry; you might have glitter and sprinkles dropping onto your lap with whatever you pick up, but the shakers were about all anyone went wild with in the kitchen than the baking.

    Mami's helped to bring along refreshments in offering different flavours of tea, and there's even a few flavours of coffee to pick from too.

    So grab a cuppa, a piece of cake, and have fun pretending you're five and in art class again and create a masterpiece.

    Or even show others how to.

[That's honestly one of the sweetest things anyone's said about him, to be honest. Madoka probably compliments him more than anyone else.]

Thank ya, Angel. If you think I'm cool then I reckon I am.

[He still stands by the idea that he is not nice, though. They're just lucky that he's been pretty well behaved in a space full of kids rather than bastard idiots.]

So you think I'm good enough that I could convince someone that I-

[Why, Yondu, are you askin' this child this? Shut your sinful face and get drawn.]

Y'know, nevermind. I wanna see what ya do.

[Okay, that one makes him bark a laugh. He was about to go and feel embarrassed but then she asks that and he's all teeth and chuckles about it. Okay, he can't feel too strange.]

Nah, nah nah...

[He manages to lower his voice between the chuckles, though, shoulders occasionally shirking with them.]

There's just someone I respect a whole lot that I made myself into a fool when I was talkin' to 'em? [Respect is the right word.] But I ain't gonna talk about it no more [he drops his voice even lower and leans in, nose all wrinkled up in a slight- (if amused) cringe] -cause he's in this room an' if I ain't careful I'm just gonna make it worse.

[He straightens up then.] Like I said, don't you worry your li'l' pink head over it. Probably won't turn out to be nothin' anyway.

Della paused again. Considering her life at home, and the insanity on the train? "You know what? That's fair." With a half shrug.

"I trust you. It's just that back home, the inventor I know? Most of his inventions wind up turning evil... or, as he puts it, 'wildly misunderstood'." And she is indeed doing finger quotes.

[ Della is always more than happy to brag about her babies, but... something about Madoka's face gives her pause.

Mom mode on. ]


... You know, being brave doesn't mean not being scared.

"Skills are there to level up," the spider points out beatifically. Here, Eva, have a handkerchief and a needle! "The fashion's to sew your boyfriend or girlfriend's name."

Apparently.

There's at least a little bit of pat-able surface, so all is not lost. In fact, she's even reassured! It's nice, feels like when some of the others would pat her head.

Ah, most of those guys have disappeared, huh? That sucks. No wonder she's been feeling kinda weird lately. ... Little more squeeze, for good measure, before Della is set back down.

"... List?"

Okay, maybe the influx of positive touchy-feely stuff has made her a little incoherent, but it's fine!

"Oh boy." How to even start? "He wasn't born human, so it took a while for him to even accept that people who were could be good. His clan is really dedicated to preserving the natural world... I don't think any of them were born human... but after some missions he started to soften up. He's... he's still confused by a lot of human customs - if you think my fashion sense can be bad, his is about twenty times worse - but he's... really kind to the people he cares about. He's really considerate of me and my trauma... and he's so protective. Sometimes a little too much, but..."

He leans back and smiles. "He adopted a small dragon in one of the worlds we were in. She came along with us and he's nothing but kind with her. She calls me 'soft daddy', by the way." His face flushes slightly. "But he's raising her with as much care as he can... he really does have a good heart. I know he has his duties as a werewolf and as a member of his clan, and that once we go back to our own worlds it'll be a while until we can see each other, but we'll meet up again. He's... he's a really good person, Della. I love him so much."

Nah. Nah, I'm just...

[He motions around his head as he watches ever cool point he earned earlier just leak out of him like a stuck balloon and his whole sense of sparkly hoodie-wearing dignity go flying around the room.]

...stupid. I don't know what I'm doin'.

[This is not a life skill he ever had to learn.]

Nozomi smiled at Hera's compliment, blushing as she did. She's so amazing!

"Ah, well, maybe I can help you learn?"

"That's right! But, since such legs don't work with the paper designs, we just do the body." Nozomi said.

Nozomi chuckled a bit. "It's nice to meet you, Romeo! You and the others did a good job with all of this!"

"Awww, poor babies! He should work on better failsafes. It sounds like he cares but he's not good at improvising a motivational imperative for his robots."

She does look sympathetic towards this mystery person.

"It's not like carrying a child, but slowly putting something intelligent together after months of intensive labor does mean a lot. And it's upsetting when they turn out badly. I hate the times mine have had to be dismantled because of performance issues."

I'll bet. Biscuits and pies and gumdrops up high...we'd be so sticky and messy after a fight like that! Trailing marshmallow down the hallway.

"Hey, it's okay." She shifts him slightly so that Ken can reach more feet. There are a lot of feet. "Nothing that can't be fixed."

An art mess is hardly the worst thing to happen this month.

[personal profile] averyusefultray 2021-04-28 04:33 am (UTC)(link)
If we remember any of this I've gotten pretty good at describing art.

[That's an if, of course. She's seen the people leave once now. She can't help wondering.]

"Why don't you show me?" Maybe starting fresh will help Nozomi figure out where her last attempt didn't quite go how she wanted.
cureofmanyworlds: (Nozomi - Panic!)

[personal profile] cureofmanyworlds 2021-04-28 04:51 am (UTC)(link)
"Sure!" Nozomi said, nodding. She'll grab another piece of paper and starts showing Hera how to make one. It's a little easy to see that Nozomi's weakness is folding the paper to make the bird.

"This has to be pretty exact, to line up right, doesn't it?" She's not used to folding flimsi at all. She only ever really touches it if a message needs to be burned after delivery.
cureofmanyworlds: (Nozomi - Huh?)

[personal profile] cureofmanyworlds 2021-04-28 05:08 am (UTC)(link)
"Oh?" Nozomi listened to what Hera said, then looked down at what she worked on, realizing that, yes, her folding was off.

"Oh, I see what you mean!" she started to unfold it and refold it better, not caring over the earlier creases.
