Horseshoe, Day 21, Early Morning

[consider8]

[Eight switches on her screen, looking a little dour.]

Hello. I'm in need of a significant amount of paper and bottles. I have a project in mind that requires both.

I saw that there is a printer available, would it be possible for me to use some of it?

I would make the purchase myself, but I used it all for clothing.

Any help would be appreciated.

Comments

[consider8]

Yes. [She feels that is safe to say.]

I want to make something that I hope people will like. Or, maybe make something that I hope people will use...?

But everyone seem so tense. I just want to help how I can.

[adropofsunlight]

Maybe do some art with it and stick them around the train, maybe?

I know I want to do some painting to cheer people up when they need it.

[consider8]

[She smiles and nods.]

I would, but I'm afraid I'm not the best artist.

That still doesn't mean I can't do something, though.

[adropofsunlight]

Exactly. Even if you aren't good you can. I'm always happy to help and see what you can do when it comes to art at least.

[consider8]

[Ohh...]

Can you paint?

[adropofsunlight]

I can. I'm pretty good at it.

[consider8]

[Eight smiled and with a quick huff scurried to a shelf that seemed to have a small supply of paper band bottled ink.]

Can I see something? [She offers to the young lady.]

[adropofsunlight]

You want me to paint in person? I can do that just tell me where.

[consider8]

I'm in the large quiet room. The big one with all the lab stuff.

I can even provide you with some ink if it'll help.

[adropofsunlight]

Okay, that should be easy enough to find at least.

It's fine, I have my own supplies.

[consider8]

Veemo!

[Still, she'll scrounge around for some supplies as she comes over. She feels somewhat responsible for putting her up to this and wants to be as accommodating a host as she can be... despite not having much of anything.]

[adropofsunlight]

Does Veemo mean something?

[She didn't know, but she was going about grabbing her stuff and was soon on her way. It might take her at least five minutes or so before she actually will arrive.]

Hello.

[consider8]

Vee--? [The question gives her pause. That was the first time anyone asked her that.] Um... it means... "hurray?"

[Her focus swivels from thought to thought before returning to the girl standing in front of her. The haze of thought drifted and she offered a welcoming smile.]

Hello, too! It's nice to see you again.

[adropofsunlight]

Hurray. Oh, that's a cute way of saying it.

[She had her art supplies as she went to set them down happily.]

I brought supplies, you can see if you like anything.

[consider8]

[She smiles, but doesn't think to ask if she could have them. They are Rapunzel's after all. Instead she's going to experimentally take a look at each piece, noting how well made and cared for they are.]

These are all the tools for painting?

[adropofsunlight]

This lot yes. I do have pencils to.

[She went to another lot she brought, which were the ones brought for her.]

So there is a decent choice. The only supplies I didn't bring were from my own personal paint box.

[consider8]

This is an impressive amount of supplies. And you are certainly taking good cared for them.

Are you an artist?

[adropofsunlight]

Well I liked to paint when I had the time back home. So does that count as being an artist?

[Probably considering how much she would do ti really.]

[consider8]

It sounds like that to me. Don't you think so too?

[After all, its not enough of Eight is the only one that thinks that way.]</small

[adropofsunlight]

I wouldn't know, but I am going to go with yes. But I also did a lot of other things too, like I made dresses...I knitted. I had a lot of time.

[consider8]

Do you frequently make a habit of underselling yourself?

[adropofsunlight]

I don't think I'm underselling myself.

[consider8]

[Eight shook her head.]

Where I am from, we value people who were good with their hands. Being able to knit and paint were highly valuable skills.

[Well, okay the knitting part, but manufacture jobs were pretty basic all things considered. The art wasn't something that she paid much mind until a certain day. Afterwards, she became more appreciative of any form of expression.]

[Still, she can't help but give Rapunzel a good-natured smile.] It's a compliment. I can take it back if you don't like it.

[adropofsunlight]

Ah, no. It's fine. But hey, that means you are good with your hands to, right?

[Freom what the other said, this was just an assumption.]

[consider8]

"Chii~ I suppose I do." She would be right! Eight had some basic mechanical skill, not to mention that she's using her construction skill to create a mural wall.

"I guess I shouldn't undersell myself too, huh?" Fair's fair, right?
