(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.

A pose and a smile and say Blitz? Tidus is asking a lot but Romeo does his best, grinning as he held up his glittery painting and stretched out his other arm in a pose.

"BLITZ!"

"Well I think it's got a name already!" He told him, "It's the Voidtrecker express but Thomas isn't a bad name..."

A strange name maybe, for a train.

"You just got to practice lots again!"

And it looked like he was working hard. He grinned and nodded. "I'm glad lots of people came! It's fun to get together and do art like this!"
myblueskies: (of course!)

"I bet they would! Everyone likes cake!"

He giggled as the man wiped the icing away. "Your nose was hungry too!"

[He'd seen him around the train a little bit but not spoken to him yet, but Romeo grinned at the little boy with the bag over his head. He's tiny and covered in glitter and Romeo crouches down slightly to talk to him.]

Are you having fun?
myblueskies: (of course!)

"Wow that's a tricky one sir!"

So many folds, more tricky than even a crane! Romeo watched him with fascination as he began to fold.

"Mnnngh." He needs those cheeks, Della! "... Thank you, Della." He pats the cushion next to his. "I've got a self-confidence problem and I know it."

"What made you decide to do this?"

As she asks she uses her hair to 'step' over the table she'd been working at, pulling up her feet into a mid-air meditative sit before she creates a chair under her to rest in front of Romeo.

Sit like a normal person? Never, not when you can make your own chair. But she looks interested.

Ken holds out his arms: he'll take the worm, if you'd like. "I'm sorry," he's able to say aloud, now.

Wormmon, however, is looking behind himself and not doing as much wiggly. "Paint and glitter?"

But there were scary footprints following him! Why were there--

Wormmon curls himself up in a ball, taking advantage of being in midair to check his own feets. OHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH.

"But something's making FOOTPRINTS!"

Wormmon's eyes water. "What if it's a gh...a gghghghghghg...."

He can't say the word. It's TOO SCARY.

"... I mean. What is art?"

Della, no.

"Beauty is in the eye of the beholder, after all!"

She really wanted to see the crossbow.

"Yep," the spider-girl seems entirely chirpy at the idea. She even reaches over to the handkerchief and flips it over, to where a small white spider appears to be on fire. "Gotta keep things in perspective, you know?"
kumoko: (arachne - baffled)

[They appear to have a Lilliputian infestation. Hm.

Hmmmm.

The spider watches the little kid investigate a handkerchief for a good few seconds before she can't resist any more, and pokes at his back with one pale finger.]

"They're real fussy, huh? Want a partner?"

Looks like Nozomi's attempts have been spotted, and despite the question, Tidus is coming to sit down on one of the nearby cushions - not really liking the idea of towering over her when he's talking, but also, he's technically meant to be one of the hosts! Kind of. Maybe supervisor of the hosts? Whatever.

"We'll both end this day making one good one, for sure!"

And - click! A very underwhelming sound next to Romeo's more energised 'BLITZ!', but the picture taken lingers for a second on the screen from Tidus's side, and he checks it to make sure it's a good one. Satisfied, he waves the camera once.

"Perfect! Now we'll have to get even more! What do you think? We could print these out and stick them in the art corner in the coach! That'll help your campaign!"

Y'know, origami should be as simple as it looks.

[ Did you want company, Noctis? Whatever the case, you're getting it, a sympathetic Tidus coming to sit down on one of the spare cushions, seeing the efforts so far by Noctis. A small private nod, and he can see what they are .... by the book that Noctis is using to guide him. ]

I bet the kid would love these. Y'know, we could make a bunch of these and stick them in here or somewhere else, like the art corner in the hang out coach. Up for the challenge?

[ Let Tidus take a sheet of origami paper, and... somewhat look at the book upside down, from where he's sitting opposite of Noct. ]

Have an affectionate hair-ruffle!

"Hey, enough of the 'miss' stuff. Della will do."
