Second Floor Common Room, Wednesday Night

[palestshadow.livejournal.com]

Naminé had spread a large canvas over most of the floor in the common room. Around the edges there were paints, brushes, charcoals, crayons, colored pencils, all sorts of moddable art supplies.

Near one edge she was working on a sketch of a tree, and a rather-less-white-than-before gorgeous long-haired cat was wandering through the center, tracking some (non-toxic and safe for cats) paint-covered pawprints as she went.

Art, Naminé felt, was best expressed as chaos.

(Very open, as common rooms are! Come make art.)

There had to be some food he didn't have to cook somewhere in the dorms; Romeo knew it.

Even if he couldn't precisely find it. Working his way down, he was on the second floor when at last he spotted life in a common room.

No food, but life nonetheless. Sighing and abandoning his quest, he went to get some chips out of a cupboard before curiosity overtook him, and he asked ...

"Good e'en, Namine. What kind of project is this?"

[palestshadow.livejournal.com]

"Romeo," she said, looking up from her tree with a smile. "I felt like making some art. I thought maybe others might want to, as well. At least Alea seems to be enjoying herself."

She nodded to the pure-white cat, who was now scratching the edge of the paper and chewing on it.

"She seems to be a very artistic cat," Romeo agreed. "Working mostly in the medium of tooth and claw, but that's good for an artist."

He put down his chips and picked up a marker. "I don't usually make art, but i can try not to deface the paper too badly."

Sokka waved at Romeo. "Hey, fellow Girl! How goes it?"

[withoutverona]

"Hello, Girl!" Romeo practically bounced. "Things are amazing. Did you go to the dance?"

Sokka, chinchilla in hand, poked his nose into the room. "Oooh! Outstanding!" He grinned and puffed up his chest a bit. "I'm a bit of an artist, myself. Did I ever tell you that?"

[palestshadow.livejournal.com]

"Sokka," Naminé beamed. "I don't believe you did. I could use your assistance, then. Please, have a seat."

[sarcasm-guy.livejournal.com]

Sokka grinned, rubbed his hands together, and sat down to paint his own tree. He became so engrossed with the detailwork on the robots living in the tree and the spaceships they were shooting lasers at that he didn't notice Momo Jr. scampering around the room, trying to hide from Alea.

"You!" Reno pointed and made his way over to where Sokka was making his... fantastic masterpiece. "You, I owe a drink to."

Sokka grinned modestly. "Aww, come on, it's not THAT great of a painting..."

An evening temptation for perhaps something to calm her nerves before sleeping to help stave off the continuing of bad dreams, Adah had to admit a little bit of surprise at the apparent transformation that the common room had taken. She leaned on the doorframe, her usual tendency when she was on the edge of entering a room with other people inside, and tilted her head against it, quietly looking at the canvas and the things being painted, drawn, scribble onto it so far. She did a quick calculation of exactly how big it was, based on feet....

Naminé looked up, then smiled tentatively at the girl in the doorway. "I hope you don't mind the invasion," she said, gesturing to the canvas. "But you're more than welcome to join us. Please."

[ecirpnellehada.livejournal.com]

Out of all the things that Adah could imagine for someone to cause an invasion of, canvas and paints and crayons were really not too terrible. She didn't seem to respond at first, though, still leaning, watching, tracing the trail of tiny, eerily perfect paws traversing the expanse. She blinked, shook her head just slightly, at the image of six-toed footprints popping up after them, imprinted on her mind alone. Not the sort of thing to think about before sleeping, that was for sure.

It would almost seem like she was ignoring the other girl entirely if it weren't for the fact that, just when the moment stretched toward that point, she pushed off the doorframe, heavily, like her thin body contained too much weight, and limped into the room. Carefully, using an arm of a chair to help her, she lowered herself down, not too far away from the other girl, in front of a small box of oil crayons. She quietly glanced over the space in front of her, judging it, measuring it, deciding how best to use it, and then picked up a bright green color and leaned in, close, dark hair practically touching the sheet of canvas as it tumbled forward, and started to make a long, curving line.

Sokka waved at the flirtary lady and tried to remember the last time they'd spoken. Not for a few weeks, anyway. "Hello!"

[withoutverona]

Glancing up to notice Adah, Romeo gave her a smile and a wave, then went back to coloring in the wings on his angel.

Jack stomped through the common room on his way to the gym.

He did sidestep the art stuff.

[palestshadow.livejournal.com]

"Careful," Naminé called after him. And then realized that even footprints counted as chaos, shrugged, and returned to her art.

The smell of the paints was what had him drifting downstairs, though he didn't at first join in. Mostly, he stared at the canvas curiously, wondering what exactly was going on.

[palestshadow.livejournal.com]

"Hello," Naminé said, looking up with a nod. "I'm afraid I've taken over the common room for my own illicit purposes. My apologies, if you were hoping to use it in the normal way. But you are welcome to join us and make art."

[sarcasm-guy.livejournal.com]

Sokka waved. "Feeling better?" he asked.

"Hey kids," Jamie said wandering into the room. "What's with the mess?"

[palestshadow.livejournal.com]

"You've fallen into my trap," Naminé called, smiling brightly. "I've taken over this common room for purposes of Art. Who knows what I might be capable of next. My lust for power knows no ends. You should attempt to align yourself with me before the inevitable coup. Perhaps by joining us?"

[sarcasm-guy.livejournal.com]

"It's not MESS," Sokka protested. "It's ART!!!"

Reno's options were to stop into a common room for an evening of clean, sober entertainment, or to head off to Caritas to drink himself into a coma.

The second floor common room was on the way, so he figured, eh, why not. If it didn't excite him, after all, he could always leave.

"Lookin' colorful, Naminé." He grinned as he looked over the canvas. "Nice."

[palestshadow.livejournal.com]

"Reno," she smiled, gesturing to the canvas before them. "I've grown mad with power. The common room is now mine to deface. Make art with us?"
