2 ☼ [Video]

[flareuplife]

[The video feed clicks on to a view of Kiri's (still messy) room, but with a few easels set up and paintings set up on them. The pictures...look very abstract and each one displaying a different pattern, yet they all share one thing in common: they're very colorful. Someone's been taking out their frustrations on their work. With the recent fatalities being displayed on the network, Kiri's had to vent in the way he does best, but it's still hard to get them off his mind. Sure, he's watched people get beat up, but he's never seen a violent death before, so the images are haunting him for now.

It's draining his inspiration as well, but this he can fix by appealing to the city for help:]

Hey, it's Kiri again.

Can anyone give me suggestions on what to draw? I'm kind of... [lost, confused, disturbed] ...bored right now, and I can't come up with anything to do keep busy.

I can even create items for you since I have the ability to turn my drawings into real things. No charge since you'll be giving me the idea, but I'll enough details to be able to replicate it.

[He pauses as if to say more, but he shuts off the feed with a mumbled 'thanks'.]


[Private Text to Hibiki:] Hey, what are you doing right now?

[saving_sound]

[It takes a while for a text to come back.]

I'nf in my room

[flareuplife]

[That's...not a good sign. It's definitely worrying too since he's been worried about Hibiki seeing the videos as well.]

You okay?

[saving_sound]

[Another while, and then:]

I wiell be fine

[Curling up in bed counts as fine, right?]

[aeterno_arma]

Oh, wow. I had no idea you where and artist, Kiri. If I give you a description could you draw someone?

I wanted to thank you for helping me the other day.

[flareuplife]

Hey Laurent. [He smiles a little.] It's no problem. I'm glad I could help.

[The feed shifts as he gestures toward the paintings.] But yeah, I really like to draw, so it's good that I got this sort of power. And sure-- I can give it a try.

[aeterno_arma]

Hi...it means a lot to me.

It's a really neat powers and your drawings are beautiful. Do you remember the picture inside of the locket I got? I is the only one I have about Aisha, but it's too small.

[democratize]

Do you know what phoenixes look like?

[flareuplife]

Giant, fancy bird with a long tail and can set itself on fire? Sure I do.

[democratize]

Great! I've only heard a little about them in stories.

[oresamazing]

[Ah, he's heard about that ability before, but he's never actually seen it in action. Interesting.

It's a great distraction from the rest of this place, at least.]

To what limit is your ability then?

[flareuplife]

Uhhh...basically I can create anything I want as long as I can imagine it and it's not alive. Also, it stays the object is the size that I draw it as.

[oresamazing]

So to make something bigger, you'd need a bigger canvas?

[Voice]

[uncalled_for]

Creating things from drawings. Sounds useful. But there's gotta be a catch, right?

[flareuplife]

There's always a catch. [He chuckles.] So far, everything turns out the same size as I draw them, and they become colorful when they're used often. Can't create living things though.

[uncalled_for]

Have you ever considered using larger paper? It might just do the trick for some objects.

And I'd be a little concerned if you could create living things.

[It's not like Tsuna hasn't seen such a violent death before but the feeling of helplessness and horror never seems to escape him. He can see why Kiri looks so drained. He glances around his room]

...I-I could use some new clothes but--

[the screen to the feed shakes a little as he places the bracelet on the desk and he picks up Nuts and holds him up to the feed]

You can try drawing him if you'd like?

[flareuplife]

[Kiri visibly brightens at the sight of Nuts, and he let's out a whistle as he looks him over.]

So this is your fire lion, huh? [Honestly, he thinks Nuts is really cool despite being so tiny, and for a second he wishes he could make one of his own.]

Sure, that would be great, actually. Would you mind bringing him over though? It'd be easier to see him rather than through this thing, and I can take your measurements while you're here too. [Because you are definitely getting new clothes, Tsuna.]

[whatagoodgirl]

Would you be able to do a portrait from a picture of someone?

[Another weary, haunted face. She's seen and heard too much lately.]

[flareuplife]

Yeah, of course. How big do you want the portrait? I can probably make a frame for it too, if you want.

[Funny how this is the second person to ask for a picture of someone. It's understandable though.]

[Video]

[unabashedly]

You can turn your drawings into real things? [ How curious. ]

[flareuplife]

Yeah, it's the power I mentioned earlier. I'm in Freyr's house, so the powers are based on creativity, I think.

[redshifts]

...a cat?

[There's a spark of excitement in his voice]

Ah. It doesn't have to be alive. Just a drawing...

[flareuplife]

[Long time no see, Enma.]

Okay. What's your favorite type?

voice.

[bloodyperky]

[ .... hm. ]

Draw an egg.

[flareuplife]

[...For some reason, it feels like he's being looked down on.]

What kind of egg?
