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~! )

[ Ah, she knows Venti!! And Ayaka brightens up upon hearing his name. They may not be very close, but even the feeling of familiarity is enough to make her happy.

(Happier.) ]

It is very nice to meet a friend of Venti's! We have only met once, as he was invited to participate in a festival in Inazuma, but the time we spent together was very memorable.

My name is Kamisato Ayaka. It is a pleasure to make your acquaintance, Miss?

[sangreine]

He's one of my best friends. We're sharing a house here together along with Lumine and some others. I guess I have two friends from there, then.

I'm Saya. [ She doesn't remember her surname, if she even ever had one, but is hoping to skirt the issue. ]

[mistsplitter]

Could you be from Nippon as well?

[ Hm, what was that term Lumine used? ]

Tokyo... F?

[sangreine]

Tokyo-F, that's right. It was a place a bit like this, with people from many different worlds. Except it was very much less hospitable.

[mistsplitter]

Venti had told me about it...

[ And he didn't even hold back with the descriptions. ]

I'm sorry. I hope being here has been better for you.

[sangreine]

[ Venti stop scaring your worldmates or whatever they're called ]

It has! We're all very grateful to be here. But even being there wasn't... well, it was that bad, but the people were lovely at least.

[mistsplitter]

[ She has never shared this before, but it is because she's had some wine that she's a bit more open. ]

The Nippon I was brought to was not like that. . . but it placed great importance in bonds with one another. So much so that there would be times that we were brought to, ah, [ Okay, she is thinking it? But she can't say it out loud without being embarrassed. ] be intimate with one another...

[sangreine]

Really? Figures I'd get stuck in the torture chamber instead of the fun one.

[ Saya has no hangups about sex, but she is empathetic, so... ]

Did it bother you?

[mistsplitter]

I...

[ "bother" is such a strong word, but she certainly has some reservations about the place! ]

It would not be proper for a lady such as myself to have had the experiences I've had in Nippon.

[ She would be the talk of all of Inazuma, and in a bad way. ]

[sangreine]

You didn't have much choice, right? You didn't ask to be brought there. I don't see anything wrong with it regardless, but those are my values, it's okay if they're not yours. But I do hope they're your values and not because of what anyone else thinks.

Anyone who wants to make a thing of whether they approve of it should remember that being judgmental, a gossip, or both are all worse habits.

[mistsplitter]

[ Oh, goodness! Saya is... very blunt! Ayaka finds herself staring at the other lady for a moment, because she doesn't think she could ever think that way of others with regards to this.

But at the same time? She has a point. ]

I do not see anything wrong with it, either. It is just— [ She sighs, her expression looking a little pained, remembering some embarrassing instances. ] No, I suppose I should not say anything more.

I agree with you.

[sangreine]

[ yep, she's subtle like a brick to the face ]

You don't have to say more. I hope you're more comfortable here, with the touch aspect being a little less demanding.

[mistsplitter]

I am fortunate to have my family here with me, as well as my beau. I do not need to worry about not being able to be touched.

[sangreine]

Oh? I'm glad. My husband is here as well, and a number of my other partners. [ Not to mention the new ones she's acquired. Delightful, this place. ]

[mistsplitter]

Other partners?

[ Oh, goodness! Please excuse her when her face turns red. She doesn't want to ask more, but... good for her! ]

I- I see! You are fortunate, as well.

[sangreine]

Mmhmm. It's how my species works. [ Queens don't do monogamy! ]

I'm very lucky, yes. I'd be quite lonely without them.

[mistsplitter]

[ She's not one to judge! Though it is not the life for her... and jealousy does not suit her very well, so it's best not to even try it again. ]

Your species? Would it be rude to ask, if you aren't human?

[sangreine]

[ As long as there's no judgment, to each their own. ]

That's right, I'm not.

[mistsplitter]

Then...

[ What could she possibly be!! ]

A fairy?

[sangreine]

Not a fairy.

I'm a vampire.
