(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.

Ah, god. Another one. The train grabs up all these kids and the worst part is that it usually is a better place for 'em to be than back home.

He taps his fin. "Yeah, I know what that's like." He's not going to judge. And as she's seen him use his arrow, he figures she's a smart enough kid to understand what he means.

"I don't reckon it's ever perfect. I've seen even the AI programs change their mind." But, less tragically, he nods to the picture. "Do you miss it, bein' out there?"

Perhaps it's easier than just plopping her into some kind of orphanage where she'd just end up picking on children who are nothing like her.

"Any mind capable of true thought is too complex to totally control. In the end, those whose loyalty was based on past experiences were probably more reliable than whatever was made of me." That's how you really get people to disregard their safety... just find what they hate.

"Space, and low gravity... it's still comfortable to me, and I'd like to get back out there, but it's not as strong a pull as it once was."

It's definitely better than that. Still not happy with the whole kidnapping thing, but damn he wishes these kids had better options. His own past experiences coloring his desire to enforce that what happens here isn't alright. But his concern at least able to acknowledge that out of the two choices, this is the better one.

A good asshole of a leader can manufacture something for them to hate. That's what the Supreme Intelligence did to maintain the loyalty of the Kree. He couldn't even hate 'em all for what happened to him 'cause he knew the whole culture was getting played.

"I've been missin' it. We had pretty good artificial gravity on the Eclector an' the M-Ships." Part of it's having the choice to travel where he wants. Part of it is the newness he'd feel from a place, how for a brief time he was refreshed and overwhelmed by 'different'. Part of it is that feeling of weightlessness... even disregarding his very last thoughts of it involved being frozen through, losing air.

It's even better when they have a very legitimate reason to be angry! Then you can't even try to show them the 'truth' because it's far too true in the first place.

War is messy.

"Mm. We were still at the stage of using rotational forces as a substitute for gravity," she explained, "as opposed to true artificial gravity like there is here. Thus, warships always operated weightlessly. So I was very used to that part of space."

Noctis had to laugh a little at himself. The kid was cute, reminded him a little of Talcott. Looked around the same age, anyway. And don't tell anyone, but Noctis had a soft spot deep down for kids.

"I would've grabbed an extra slice if I knew that it was," Noctis said, and asked, continuing the joke Romeo introduced, "do you think they'd let me take another if I told them?"
canyounoct: (you talkin to me?)

[personal profile] canyounoct 2021-04-27 05:44 am (UTC)(link)
[ He's reminded a little of Iris, which had the added benefit of making him homesick - so Noctis concentrated on Madoka's cheerful smile as she wound the paper garland around. ]

I bet they're pretty, it's been a while since I've last worn a flower crown. I think I was a little kid the last time?

[ He glanced at the books she pointed out, trying not to turn his head much as he looked. ]

I should check them out. I bet it has a lot of different designs ... I'm not usually a flower kind of guy, that's more of my friend's thing.
canyounoct: (can you noct)

[personal profile] canyounoct 2021-04-27 05:47 am (UTC)(link)
You'd think, right?

[ He'd take company, even company that ended up teasing his rotten origami skills. All of his friends would, anyway, Noctis wouldn't even be offended. ]

I picked these because they looked kind of easy and, err, I like fish? Sort of. I like fishing. Anyway. I didn't origami would be so hard.

[ But Tidus' offer made him grin a tiny bit. ]

Sure, I'm up for that challenge. Practice can only make perfect, right? And at the end of it all, they can get a whole school of fish this way.

He's never known it to be clean, true. At least as a Ravager he had some control over his battles. A little bit.

"It's pretty comfortable livin' so long as you got air. What was them warships like? I mean, like size an' shit. They usually ain't made to be comfortable." Not even the Eclector was, love it as he did.

Crafts A
[Rapunzel always did enjoy a good craft or two... or twenty if she was perfectly honest. She had a looot of time when she was in the tower after all, it was the only thing she could do. So rapunzel was going to make the most of this thing and do all the crafts.

The first one was her usual: Painting, but her painting this time was more based on what she was seeing in front of her more than things like flowers and birds and just memories she has with others.

Once she sets up she looks over.]


Sorry if I bother you, just keep doing what you are doing.

Craft B
[Rapunzel's next craft was making various things with paper. This was a new one for her if she was perfectly honest, but it seemed fun and something she was picking up on rather quickly. She seemed happy holding up her garland.]

What do you think of this?

It's a lot of folding in the right spots. But hey, this don't look too hard - just gotta get used to it, you know? These're easier looking than the cranes some are doing.

[ Please, why did he ever agree to get involved with crane folding. But he can read fairly easy the amount of paper he needs for these fish, and starts measuring up. Being conversational as he does: ]

By the way, I'm Tidus. You showed up with Prompto, right? I know you, kinda - another you anyway. [ He pauses, to wave a hand. ] Just casually! We talked once or twice.

[ Don't worry, he's going nowhere weird with this! ]

Della paused. The last person she knew who built robots had a tendency to accidentally... well...

"They don't turn out evil, right?"

Della rested her chin in her hands with a bit of a smile. "Tell me about him." Maybe that would help?

It's not for everyone, but for us of the McDuck clan? It's what we live for! And Uncle Scrooge considers just about everyone who lives with him and works with him part of the clan.

"Huh?"

Ken grabs a paper towel from a nearby table and begins to gently clean the paint off of Wormmon's most...high-contact....areas. "You're tracking paint. If we clean you, the footprints will stop."

He shows Wormmon the paper towel, now covered in paint from wiping off some buggy feets. Wormmon stares.

Wormmon shivers for different reasons.

"I...I'm sorry.......~!"
ourtomorrow: (grateful)

[personal profile] ourtomorrow 2021-04-27 10:42 am (UTC)(link)
[ Wormmon grins. Ken does too. The heart that you put into it is what matters....He likes the sounds of that. ]

He looks good.

Ken-chan!

"Only when they get taken over by ancient technology, other than that they always turn out like I intend." Which is sometimes intentionally on the villain's side when she was with the Horde. So that only counts as evil if she wants it to. That was on purpose.

"But honestly outside control has happened more often to my flesh and blood friends because they don't come with the same preventative failsafes. I'm a lot more worried about you guys being brainwashed."

'Cause that happens.

[He chuckles at her dodging his little self-disparaging joke and trying to compliment him anyway. It's just a little funny.]

My boy tried to look like that kind. I guess he pulled it off with how many women he got mad at him. [He shakes his head at his little dumbass. His little dumbass who is several inches taller than him but still his boy, wherever he is.]

I had this thing tailored so I'll thank ya for the compliment. [He assumes the compliment is for the fashion sense rather than, you know, him.]
