[happyends]

[ Guess what, train. If you happen to look at the ICPs, you're greeted by not one, but two cute kid faces. Both of which are smiling. ]

Um.. hi, everyone! [ Okay, maybe smiling slightly shyly, in Madoka's case. It's a lot to realise the whole train can hear you talk.. ]

I know some things have.. um.. maybe been a bit rough lately. But that's why we wanted to do something fun that anyone could join in on! Near the end of the month, on the 27th, we're planning on holding a fun art day! You don't have to bring anything, since we already took care of everything..

[Romeo's grin is a lot more confident though he thinks Madoka is doing great talking to everyone like this!] Yeah we bought lotsa art stuff already, we got paper and pens and paint and glitter and even paint with glitter in it already!!!

[Isn't that the most exciting thing?]

We can do whatever type of art you like, painting, drawing, even paper folding because that's fun too. Everyone is welcome! [Big grin before he remembers something.] Oh yes! It will be in the garden carriage!

[ Madoka nods once Romeo is done talking. ]

Y-Y-Yes, it's going to be a lot of fun, so please make sure to be there that day if you'd like to join in! And, um, I guess if someone still has questions, they can ask us now..

(ooc: expect responses from both madoka and romeo!)

I mostly picked the owl because she's a stealthy predator and I pretty much embody those. So she's not exactly a representation of me but I do feel a connection with her. And pomegranates traditionally symbolize death, which the owl brings to her prey. Hey, owls gotta eat.

[kumoko]

[ she's not ready to be befriended this hard!!! have mercy soft pink girl!! ]

Er, I can do that! One hundred percent Dread-approved basic lessons. Making...

[ Um. ] Making... Er... [ what's basic ]

[happyends]

[ Cutie patooties?!

Madoka's face is definitely turning red over here, and she quickly nods along with Romeo. Anything to get the conversation away from compliments for them! ]

U-Um! Yes! Since the mission must have been rough with all the fighting..! We thought it might be nice for people to have something fun and relaxing..

[myblueskies]

Wow that would be a really good idea!

[He looked at Madoka with a grin.] Me and Madoka and mister Tidus and Ple Two were thinking about ways to remember people who went away too.

[myblueskies]

[Romeo was sure it would come back to him easily! After all art wasn't something you forgot quickly!

He is curious about Madoka's question as well!]

[myblueskies]

Wow I never heard of a pin that helps in battle before! It must be really special! And he must be a really special friend!

[saveas]

Oh - nothing special. Just drawings.

[controlsthedie]

He already had it from home. I just bought it, so he could have its power here.

[ Okay, Persephone is one person, but if two relative strangers are thinking... oh gods, what does this mean? ]

I-I think we're straying from the topic of conversation.

[happyends]

Of course! Isn't any creative way of expressing yourself art? [ In Madoka's eyes, anyway. Besides, she'd let people get away with much more than that, as long as they'd be happy and participating.. ]

Are you trying to make clothes?

[happyends]

Well, we technically already thought about it before the mission.. so the general idea was just to give people something fun to do.

[ Especially since their situation can be pretty crummy at times. They are captives on a kidnapping train when it comes down to it, after all.. ]

But the mission was pretty tough too, so that just made us want to do something nice for everyone even more!

[happyends]

[ Madoka thinks they're cute too. Definitely. It's something she's often thought before, considering the obvious bond between the two..

.. but it still won't stop her from giggling a little when she suddenly sees Wormmon having worked his way up there so quickly. ]

Ken-san, I think you said the magic words. [ The ones that attract Wormmon to his shoulder like honey. ]

[happyends]

[ ...

Madoka feels.. entirely unsure how to deal with someone saying that they embody stealthy predators. Not that she doesn't know that there are some people on the train who are both super strong and also super nice, but.. still.. It feels a little awkward..

And she's about 70% sure Romeo may not pick up on those words as much, so Madoka tries to keep her awkwardness contained to her smile as she speaks up. ]

A-- Ahaha, I.. I guess you're right, they do..

[happyends]

[ welcome to her magical girl harem ]

.. Scarves?

[ It's a very cautious suggestion. Madoka doesn't want to pretend she knows more than the spider over here, who is clearly the Local Expert. ]

Those are probably easy, right? Since they're just.. straight on..

[sos_pilot]

[ oh, you two are no fun. ]

And you will, I know it. Trust me, this is exactly what we all need.

[crimson_rain]

[It can sure get busy on the train, with a grin] Hello, to the both of you.

Tidus told me a while ago that the you two are working on various art projects. I would like to help. I'm very good at painting the traditional way using a paintbrush and various paints, so if you need me for projects, count me in. I just need a lot of colors and supplies if it's a big project.

I have not, I come in much later around the winter faire and the world with the robots and trees. You were there, Romeo. But all right! I'll draw panda bears to get us started. I can start with foxes and rabbits and forest animals if the two of you would like that for the garden carriage?

[myblueskies]

Yes! It's always nice to do fun things altogether and then the mission was very tricky and everyone should get to do nice art!

[myblueskies]

The Wormmon magic words! [He giggles as well, seeing them like that. It's too sweet how much Wormmon believes in Ken!]

[myblueskies]

Wow knitting is so tricky!

[She is some art genius if she knows how to knit!]

[myblueskies]

Oh yes! [Time is tricky on this train and trickier for Romeo who has a very strange sense of time himself. But he did meet Hua Cheng on the world with the robots.]

We could draw some of the creatures from that world too, the really fluffy ones!

[goingthroughaphase]

It really is! I know people say that knitting is relaxing, but right now it's just frustrating.

I'm hoping to maybe one day make clothes. But right now I'd just be happy making a square.

[ Meaning she hasn't quite managed even that yet. ]

[happyends]

Uh-huh, we had a lot of ideas..

[ Which is why they just ended up with a general art day. The best idea to fit all the different ideas together in. ]

[happyends]

Oh, I really like drawings though!

[ That's usually what Madoka makes too when she feels like being creative. ]

So I'd love to see yours! And Romeo likes drawing too, right?

[happyends]

[ It's too late, Thanatos.

The kids are now aware of your special friend. ]

Aw, don't worry, sir! [ Madoka smiles. Maybe he's just worried they only want to talk about art? Time to take that worry away! ] We'll gladly talk about you and your friends! It's so good to see people being so close here on the train.

[happyends]

If you say so, then it's got to be true.

[ Because Della is pretty great! And smart! In Madoka's opinion, anyway. ]

Then we'll see you there.

[kumoko]

Mm, mm. [ nodding along, she folds a few legs. uselessly, because, hey. voice. but! ]

Scarves are good. And, er, oh! [ speaking of straight on ] Sewing names onto handkerchiefs? [ that's something cute and popular girls do, right...




please validate her, harem master ]
