(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.

Just a private little space - although she's not sure a private place that far away from adult supervision is allowed for them. Still, she likes having Madoka all to herself, even if she's being selfish.

"Everything you're used to would look different, without the atmosphere to affect it too. The stars are just... pure points of light. It really makes you think about what they are." ...maybe that's too existential for Madoka though.

[That is a solid and appreciated subject change!]

Yeah! Yeah, it's nice to get away from all of that.

[There's nothing good that can happen from him being around there. Around here...well, nothing particularly good has happened yet. But he's done a few fun things, so that's nice.]
saveas: (giggle)

Hee hee hee...I heard they're putting it in the food, too!

[Asriel arches an eyebrow down at the arm for a moment.]

Yeah, okay. [He wasn't alive during the war anyway, but...well.] It's not a big deal. I think I'm kinda used to all the humans here now, anyway. I still wish they weren't so tall, but that's...

[It is what it is, you know?]
saveas: (super cool magic!)

[personal profile] saveas 2021-05-12 01:02 am (UTC)(link)
[Asriel gasps, because despite everything he is still just so fucking down for glitter.]

Yeah! Let's do that!

[Yes it is absolutely always time for motherly advice! Mono hums, mystified at the wisdom bestowed to him.]

"Ohhh." [Mono can't think of anyone they ever considered 'perfect' but nearly everyone seemed 'better' and perhaps that was a close enough comparison. It was hard to imagine Della needing help with anything, she even managed to coax him out of hiding. Still he does his best to nod along and absorb the knowledge.]

"Who. Should you trust?" [If there was a way to weigh who not to surely there were ways to know the reverse?]

Living in space, being a clone, having a sixth sense - things that will make a person think about the nature of life. "It's quiet, too. Sometimes perfect silence is nice... although you can't really get away from the hum of whatever machine you're inside of. And the Earth... I barely even thought about what it looked like, but it gives you a different perspective to think about it, from far away..."

Ah, we'll be assimilated soon enough then.

[ That makes her laugh, and she pulls back. ]

I know exactly what you mean! It's a miracle my neck isn't always sore, all the times I have to look up! Ducks are pretty short back home, but at least we had other ducks!

[ Della pauses, then lets out a puff of air. How did she not see that coming? She's got to stop giving advice when she doesn't have everything covered. ]

... Unfortunately, that's not as easy to tell. At least, for me. I've definitely been betrayed by people I've trusted.

[ General Lunaris can go suck on a bag of rocks. ]

... But it's helped me appreciate the good folks in my life all the more.

Heh, it's funny of you to say that. Before I came here, I don't think I was a good person at all. I've been... working on that a lot.

And I've been making friends, so, I hope it's working.

[Even if he's still struggling with the idea of it being enough.]

You seem like a really nice person too.

[A problem.. no... Symbolism for the eye has been steeped into Pale City to the point of madness. Adorning objects and design; as to be expected of a presence that haunted all minds. If there was a time where it hadn't been there, it doesn't exist now, the tower having devoured its own timeline, its signal disrupting the fabric of reality.

Mono accepts the purple with a bigger frown, it's an appropriate color. It doesn't take him long to scribble it all over just as liberally.

Likewise enemy isn't the right word. They have always been a constant in his life. Calling him, wanting him. An eternal captor as well as his only company, locked behind in that eternal hall with him. Peeking through the transmission. The nightmare itself granted a perspective.]


"No escape. Mngh."

[Were they the cause? Or were they trapped as he was? It hurt to think about. A bit literally actually, he grunts a little, stopping to grab his head.]

"I did! I got a lot of friends. I just hope they find them 'cause I don't know where some of my friends are. They disappeared from the heavens before I came here."

Some of them, the ones who had been gods might have gone back to their worlds but he doesn't know where the other shinki went.

It was a bit worrying to think about. "I hope they get them though so they know I'm thinking about them all!"
myblueskies: (thinking hard!)

[personal profile] myblueskies 2021-05-13 05:06 pm (UTC)(link)
"Feathers would be a really good idea! They are really soft and you sometimes put them in pillows!"

But where could they find so many? "We got some for craft, but I don't think it's enough for stuffing..."
myblueskies: (of course!)

[personal profile] myblueskies 2021-05-13 05:09 pm (UTC)(link)
"Eww." That would be very gross. No feeding cake to chocobos. He drew more green vegetables.

"There we go. But you need a snack too so you got enough energy for racing! What's your best food?"
myblueskies: (Alfredo is speaking!)

[personal profile] myblueskies 2021-05-13 05:09 pm (UTC)(link)
"A soldier?"

But she was little! Well actually she was a lot bigger than he was but he's pretty sure she's the same age as him.

"Was that really scary?"
myblueskies: (someone needs help!)

[personal profile] myblueskies 2021-05-13 05:13 pm (UTC)(link)
You travelled lots? That must have been really tiring?

[He smiled at him, he was so little, much littler than Romeo and it sounded like his life before the train had been really hard!]

Was there no birds in the forests though?
myblueskies: (of course!)

[personal profile] myblueskies 2021-05-13 05:15 pm (UTC)(link)
"It does. It's always good to be funny because that makes people smile and gets their spirits up!"

And that was so important, especially when scary things happened and people got sad.

After all that was why they had made this art day, to help everyone keep their spirits up.

[Sort of!]
"The two." [The forest is where he saw them. Just those.]

"Not much else. Empty." [Deer and rabbit pelts existed as remnants of the past in decor, amphibians in formaldehyde jars, but the beartraps and cages were no longer for catching game, moreso for things like him.]

"In pictures." [But a flat occasional doodle or dilapidated decorative rendition paled to the real thing. He couldn't artistically recreate what he only knew as afterimages or another person's past renders.]
saveas: (howdy)

[personal profile] saveas 2021-05-13 08:51 pm (UTC)(link)
[He's sort of meant more because having them tower over him is kinda triggering but you know what! Why's he gotta be like this all the time!!! Asriel smiles hesitantly.]

Boss monsters like me get really big, but... [He's dead and he'll never grow up!] ...I haven't hit my growth spurt. My horns aren't even growing in yet.
