4th Spell - [Video, Spam]

[whatthewrackspurt]

[In her room, Luna has stacked up all her furniture in the middle of the room in order to reach the ceiling. She lies on her back on a desk that's tilted precariously on a chair, a globe, three books, and a coat rack. Somehow it all manages to stay upright.

Paint drips into her hair as she paints her ceiling. Faces of people on the Barge are recognizable - people she's met and interacted with, Iris, Bush, Steve, Facilier, MewTwo, and others.

She's not a bad artist, really. It's a lot more fun than the art room, where they expect you not to paint on the walls]

[He speaks very softly, so as to not startle her.]

Ah... Miss? I don't want to intrude, but are you sure that's safe?

[Luna twists around from her place on top of the desk, peering down at her communicator]

Hello.

Safer than other things, I think. Why do you ask?

[sharpsurprise]

[he waves at her, even though she might not see it from that far up]

Hello! I was just worried you might fall down from there and hurt yourself.

I have been told that we can do painting here but that was not what I was expecting.

[whatthewrackspurt]

Are you a painter yourself? Perhaps you'd like me to lend you a brush.

[tricksandmischief]

I believe it was suggested I try finger painting in case I stabbed somebody with a brush.

[His tone is amused though, teasing and twisting his and Steve's conversation about the artroom.]

What are you doing, girl?

[whatthewrackspurt]

Oh; hello, Sylvanas.

I'm painting. Would you like to give it a go?

Video

[forsaken_queen]

I'm not a painter.

[He's watching this with some measure of amusement.]

Should I be honoured I'm on there, Darlin'?

[Luna gives a small smile back, propping her head up with a hand as she rolls on her side]

Perhaps. If you don't like it, I can try to paint over it. But it would take time.

[As if he'll ever refuse a boost to his ego.]

Oh no no, you feel free to keep that. I ain't one to stifle creativity.

[Abigail hates the art room. She doesn't hate art, in principle, but art in the art room is obviously terrible.]

[Art in one's own room is okay. As she passes Luna's room shortly after the video broadcast, she finds she even likes this art, in part because it's very Michaelangelo. In technique even if not in style.]

You're good. [She leans somewhat hesitantly on the doorframe.]

[Luna doesn't yet glance over - she's hard to startle. Instead, she squints up at the portrait she's working on, a bit skeptical]

Yes, but only with people. I can't draw dragons and things, they always come out looking more like fanged cats.

[versusnurture]

Isn't that more or less what a dragon is?

[She squints up at the ceiling, too.]

I mean, I don't know. They don't have dragons where I'm from.

[exnihilo]

That's lovely.

[whatthewrackspurt]

Thank you. I think so too.

Do you like painting, yourself?

[private]

[exnihilo]

[She wrinkles her nose, like a kid who's just remembered they're supposed to hate broccoli, even if it's cooked very well.]

No.

[Scowl, sulk, soften.]

It's the...people. You see them. I like that part.

Is that me?

[Mewtwo is so confused.

And so... odd. Alien looking. It reaches up to the short ears on its head, self-conscious.]

[whatthewrackspurt]

It is.

Do you like it? I tried to get your face right but I wasn't sure.

[The likeness is good. The subject is lacking.]

I do not know.

Why have you done this?

[spam] wow don't ask me why I thought I'd replied to this without actually doing it /o\

[punched_hitler]

[Steve happens by the room, on his way to give the Barge a good once-over (i.e., his attempts at maintaining a regular patrol) when he spots the precarious pile of... stuff. And he can't help but poke his head in.]

Wow. Well, hey there, Michelangelo. Do you need a spotter? [Because that pile of stuff? Yeah, it does not look sturdy.]

[spam] fff no worries

[whatthewrackspurt]

Hello, Captain.

[Luna sits up, her head brushing the top of the ceiling. She gives a wave]

That would be nice. If you wouldn't mind? I have a mind to get down now.

[notdreaming]

Well there's an interesting place to put a mural.

[whatthewrackspurt]

I like to paint in interesting places. This way I can lie on my bed and look up at them.
