Memoria Gloria

Who: Agent 8 and OPEN
Where: Quiet Coach the Large One that was Formerly a Lab
When: Horseshoe 23
What: Agent 8 reveals the project that she has been making: a working mural piece that needs people to share their home.
Warnings: Possibly painful nostalgia?

On the early morning of the 23, people would wake up to find a small flyer glued onto the door. It reads:

Paths are made from a start
Our legs they stride, swept in a tide
Memories fade in this void apart

Come share a memory
The Large Quiet Room
🐙


Those curious enough to enter the room that was formerly a lab would see that that half of the room's contents have been shifted to one side. The half that is closest to the middle has its walls completely cleaned and covered with white sheets of paper. Only two things stand out from it: one is a sign hanging from the center of the wall that simply reads. "Where is Home?" As though to answer that, a drawing of a metropolitan square with large industrial-sized domes underneath. To further entice people into drawing, there's a cabinet filled with multi-colored thermoses of ink.

As for the hostess of all this? Well, she's nowhere to be found -- but if one was attentive they may notice that one corner of the cabinet seems to have a rather large of a spill of paint that is blending into the colors of the ground. An even more astute person may hear the soft sound of air bubbles rising to the surface even if the paint's surface appears perfectly still...

((OOC: Yeah, Eight is feeling a little self-conscious of the big display and is hiding in her ink. Also, a small note about the ink itself! It's very pretty! And she has a lot of choices set up, but it's also... weird. The ink doesn't blend or add at all, it only replaces. If your character tries to mix two ink colors together, it would just replace what was there with what was used last. Likewise, a paint stroke on the canvas will replace any color that was previously there as soon as the new one is applied.))

"Yes some of us did be being here almost eight months now." She wrinkled her nose, "It has been being a long time."

She blinked at her, "I do be being from a place that do be being called Gauig. Both the city and the country, they do be being called the same thing. It do be being next to the sea and it do be being very hot. We do no never be having stupid cold snow or anything."
knifewithnoname: (fascinating)

"Be painting it?"

She wrinkled her nose. She's never painted before. She doesn't even know how to start.

But she's also not going to not try. It was just painting. How difficult could it be?

She looked at the ink and nodded. "Okay. I will be painting it."

She needs blue. She can start with the sea. Surely it can't be hard to paint the sea.
knifewithnoname: (yeah I'm not buying that)

She can do this. She watches the girl get the materials out and nods. Brushes. They were a good start. She picked one up. Holding it like she would hold a pen was right?

Blue. Blue for the sea. She dipped the brush into the blue and then carefully but decisively drew a line on the paper. There. Blue. On paper. The start of the sea.

She tries not to show how much being watched bothers her, she would rather be able to figure this out, before having to show anyone.

She glanced at her once, twice and then realised that she was not going anywhere. She sighed and painted another blue line, then another. Stripes of blue over the corner of the page.

But the sea wasn't all blue that was the problem. There was the white of foam and sometimes it was green and dark, and sometimes shone silver with the light of the sun.

She needed more colours... She frowned as she reached out, to find other colours.
