WHO: Kaveh, Shigeru, & YOU.
WHAT: Paint & Pour.
WHEN: April 2nd.
WHERE: Spring Segment, Prism Lake
WARNINGS: Drunk Painting.


[ kaveh decided to set up the paint & pour on the shores of prism lake, because a beautiful landscape seemed like something that artists of all skill level could enjoy creating. not to mention, it's also something that probably wouldn't suffer too much if/when guests inevitably started getting tispy. ]

[ there are three canopy tents framing the lake and, unsurprisingly, the first of which has all manner of art supplies: canvases, easels, and paints. the second has an assortment of delicious snacks made by shigeru and the third, final, and likely most anticipated has the wine. there are at least a dozen bottles, each labeled with the segment and shop it came from, because kaveh absolutely went around with the intention of helping them promote their business. ]

[ it's not a complete lie!
everybody wins!! ]


( ooc; feel free to assume that your character received an invitation from either kaveh or shigeru. it IS open to the public though, so if your character is strolling by and so much as makes eye contact with either of them, then they'll likely get dragged into the fun. anyway! bring your own top level~! )

[ and that delights him. kaveh did pick this spot that reason, so it's nice to see it getting the appreciation it deserves. if he brings alhaitham next time he's getting a jacket, so the landscape can take center stage. ]

It seems to have gone over well, so I certainly don't mind making this a regular thing. Perhaps next time we can move a segment over. It could be fun to paint & pour our way through each season.

{ bundle him up in 20 layers in the winter segment so no one gets distracted, it's a good plan. }

It would offer a lot more variety, that's certainly true. Did you start something yourself, or have you been too busy playing host?

[noarchitact]

[ it's the best plan. ]

I have... [ he started drawing alhaitham. ] I haven't gotten much of a chance to work on it, since things have started getting busy... but I can show you what I have so far if you like?

[acquirement]

{ kaveh the hypocrite, i see... }

Of course. I have an interest in your work after hearing so much already. Of course this likely differs, the fundamentals will surely be the same?

{ ah yes, showing the sound structure of alhaitham's chest instead of a building. so similar. }

[noarchitact]

[ IT'S HIS BOYFRIEND. ]

It's a basic sketch at the moment. Nothing special. [ he leads ayato over to his own canvas, where there's a b&w of alhaitham. ]

[acquirement]

{ shout it louder from the rooftops }

Ah, I see. { his voice is. flat. } This is the subject you chose to draw as well.

{ sighs, as though he's disappointed. }

[noarchitact]

Don't be too disappointed. I'm going to be adding the lake and the trees. But I'm not going to draw something overly elaborate for this little get together, but what do you mean... as well? I should be the only one drawing him. [ HE'S MINE. ]

[acquirement]

Oh, you don't need to explain yourself. { really, you don't-- } But did you not look over the shoulders of others on the way here? I saw at least two.

{ also this is interesting, carry on kaveh. be as jealous as you need to be. }

[noarchitact]

...nnnno? [ kaveh bristles, taking a cursory look around, because who could the offenders be??? ] At least, w- what, two?! Who??

[acquirement]

Ah, I couldn't say. Unfortunately I am not acquainted with all your guests.

{ s m i l e }

Perhaps you should be screening your invitations a little more if you wanted to keep him all to yourself?

[noarchitact]

But you could point them out. [ HE KNOWS YOU KNOW. STOP BEING DIFFICULT. ]

[ kaveh chews on his lip as he turns away from ayato. ] What would possess somebody to paint him? [ don't @ him. ]

[acquirement]

{ but it's his favourite pasttime. }

Well, why did you paint him?

[noarchitact]

He's my muse.

[acquirement]

Ah, so that's what you're calling it then.

[noarchitact]

What does that mean?

[acquirement]

I could ask the same thing, I feel as though 'muse' is an understatement in this case.

{ kaveh is too easy to read }

[noarchitact]

...and what makes you say that? [ he's an open book. ]

[acquirement]

{ the only response he gets for a loooooong moment is just a very

very

hinting smile. }

A muse is merely something that inspires in an artistic sense. If that were merely the case, you wouldn't have been so jealous.

{ caught in 4k }

1/2

[noarchitact]

[ stop looking at him like that. ]

[noarchitact]

[ what do you do when you get caught?
stand your ground and get defensive. ]

Maybe I just don't want anybody else using him for inspiration. I'm the one that has to live with him and all of this is going to go right to his head. I'm never going to hear the end of it.

[acquirement]

{ kaveh just gets a laugh of amusement for that. }

Really? Alhaitham didn't seem the type to brag about being used for pictures. Perhaps I was mistaken on my first impressions of him?

[noarchitact]

[ kaveh folds his arms. ] I dragged him here, and he's getting all the attention, so of course I'm going to hear all about it. Just because you're not going to see it doesn't mean it's not going to happen. People are different behind closed doors. [ probably like you, ayato. ]

[acquirement]

{ yes, yes, of course. }

Why? Were you hoping to be the model for people to sketch today? I don't see why it matters if not.

[noarchitact]

Me? No. But he's not interested in the attention. He just wants to read, ...so the fact that he couldn't do so is in peace is what's going to be the problem. [ yes, listen to his woes. ]

[acquirement]

Ah, so that's it? Painting is quite a quiet activity though, isn't it? Surely he can ready while people paint him?
