[ 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!)

Don't forget all the cakes and sprinkles included! We should have a test run with those, dont'cha think?

[ Heheh! ]

In which Shadow is a fangirl for art itself

[phobophage]

Oh! I'm all for this. Art is great and I can't say enough good things about it. What can you say, it's my vocation. I'm highly skilled but anyone expressing themselves in art is great no matter their skill level. I'm happy to see other people on this train into it too.

[happyends]

Tidus, you aren't trying to lure people in with food, are you?

[ There's a bit of a pout in Madoka's voice, but.. well, it's obviously a joking one. Please, as if Madoka would ever genuinely get huffy with anyone. It's more just a joking thing, as if cake would really be above art!!

(.. then again, cake is pretty good.) ]

[happyends]

[ Give Madoka's brain a moment to buffer as she tries to recall what the word 'vocation' means.. But she gets there after a moment! ]

Oh, really? That's so amazing! [ She gasps - apparently her amazement is pretty genuine. ]

Um, if it's okay for me to ask, what sort of thing did you do with art back home then..?

[blitzcheer]

Please, everyone knows the best bait around here is food. Then they sit down with a cute cake, and they'll try out something new without thinking about it!

[ ...is this just him saying 'yes'... ]

[sciencegirl]

You guys are really on the ball! Good job at being productive.

[phobophage]

Many different things. I've lived an extremely long life and I've tried just about all art mediums, or close to it. So if someone isn't sure how to work with something, I can help them.

Maybe... sewing? Is sewing alright?

[yondu]

[Oh my god, they are all going to be covered in glitter for a full week and he knows it. He doesn't have the heart in him to complain because he sees how happy they are, but he's just priming for a full week of everyone being at their sparkliest. It will be everywhere.]

Good work, y'all. Looks like ya went through a lotta trouble settin' this up.

[myblueskies]

Mister Tidus is right! Everyone likes food!

Maybe we should have told them... We could make posters too I guess so people remember...

[happyends]

[ Madoka giggles. There's still something shy about it, but she is genuinely happy at the same time. ]

Thank you..! Though, um, we really just wanted to do something nice for everyone else.. A-And it wasn't just us two that bought stuff to contribute!

[happyends]

Of course!

[ Just please don't scare anyone off, spider.... ]

As long as it's something that's fun and creative to do. [ And sewing definitely is that. ] I-I think it's actually really impressive when people can sew..!

[happyends]

[ Please, Yondu, they won't stop until you're entirely covered in glitter too.

Speaking of which-- ]

You're coming too, right, mister Yondu? [ Look at these puppy eyes.

Gaze at them. ]

I'd love for you to join us..!

[myblueskies]

Mister Tidus and Ple Two helped too! Are you going to come sir? Do you like art? I can show you how to draw penguins!

Re: voice

[myblueskies]

Yes! You can sew too miss spider!

[myblueskies]

What's a vocation?

[Madoka might have figured it out but it's a big word and Romeo is stuck.]

[myblueskies]

Yes mister Tidus and Ple Two helped too and lotsa other people have bought art things!

[kumoko]

[ flattery gets you everywhere!!! or at least it means she feels obligated to respond. ] Yep, yep. We can do something simple..!

[kumoko]

[ THANKS LIL ICE-CREAM BUDDY ]

[sciencegirl]

You know, I could show you two how to make clay in the kitchen! So you could make some from scratch for people to use.

[She's already planning on making them some air dry clay, but it's nice if she could show them how!]

[blitzcheer]

It's cool, they can hear us now, right?

[ But! ] But go and make posters! That's fun, right? Just remember to use the printer paper! We need to save the good stuff for the big day.

[yondu]

[Madoka you're killing him here. He knows this is weaponized. He knows.]

I ain't really the creative type. Most of what I do is engineerin'.

I am gettin' ya somethin' else, though.

[He'll throw that distraction like a grenade.] They oughta be finished up real soon.

[yondu]

Well I appreciate it, but most of what I do drawin' wise is with my arrow.

[He's pretty good at whistling air designs with it.]

But uh, I can watch you draw one sometime, see how you do it.

[myblueskies]

Okay sir! I can show you because that's the best way to learn and maybe you can know how to draw like that as well as with your arrow!

[yondu]

[These actually happy children are going to be the death of him. The glittery, glittery death.]

I bet I probably could. Just gotta figure out the pattern 'an get it goin' real fast.
