[ 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!)

Art is tricky and it takes lots of practice! But as long as your having fun that's the important thing just like Madoka says!

[subcircuits]

I do enjoy making things. I just usually make metal things, rather than art. [Devero rubs his chin thoughtfully, maybe a little exaggerated for the kids, before declaring:] I guess there's no better time than this to try my hand at making something new!

[happyends]

[ Metal.. things..?

Come on, Devero, you can't say that and leave the masses the kids without context! Look at how curious Madoka's gaze is now. ]

What kind of metal things do you make, sir?

[myblueskies]

Metal things like... statues?

[They were sometimes made of metal right? And decoration in shrines were sometimes metal and they were pretty...]

[subcircuits]

Like machines! I help out the chief engineer back home. They has a trained crew to do all the official stuff, but sometimes they let me loose in the machine shop to make things for my exo.

[happyends]

Wow.. That sounds so difficult..

[ Making something out of other stuff is one thing, but then making something that can even actually move or work? That's another level of engineering entirely, one that's far beyond Madoka. But at least she looks sufficiently impressed by it anyway. ]

I don't think either of us could do something like that. Right, Romeo?

[myblueskies]

Wow! [He nodded] It's really tricky! Elfnein could make lotsa things like that, she made a robot once...

[He trails off, because it would be so good for Devero to meet Elfnein but they couldn't. She was gone. He punched the air, keeping his spirits up.]

It takes a lot of hard work though! If you can do that I bet you can do lots of good art!

[subcircuits]

[Dev can't help but smile at the enthusiastic kids.] It takes a lot of practice and learning to be able to design machine parts, just like it takes a lot of practice and learning to make really good art.

But it doesn't take much practice to have fun making art, so I'm looking forward to it!

[ Madoka definitely notices why that fistpump is happening - Romeo taught her about it, after all, so she knows its meaning - and she's sure to hold Romeo's hand the moment it comes down, as if to reassure the other.

But when she looks at the screen, at Devero, Madoka just smiles. ]

Thank you, sir. I hope you can have a lot of fun. We're going to do our best to make it fun for everyone.

[myblueskies]

[He appreciates her hand in his and keeps smiling.] We will do our best sir! It's going to be lots of fun!
