[truesight]

Hey, guys. [ heyoo! Rachel's waving at the camera, fingers smudged with paint, as per usual. she seems excited, though, if not just pleased with herself. ]

So, I've been thinking. I know this place can be scary and there's a war going on and there are times when we're left fighting for our lives right after we've just been brought back to life, but. I've also been thinking about what else we can do, to help the city? And, naturally, what came to mind was the fact that we're supposed to be bringing color back to Asgard, too. Which we've been doing! It's- noticeable, the way things have been changing. But my idea is that we throw an art club together. Well, maybe not a club, that sounds like it's only for kids, but...

For all the artsy types in the city, the people who would much rather create and imagine things than pick up a weapon and fight - think that might be cool? We could meet at the school, maybe. After class hours. Or somewhere in Freyr? I'm sure there's a space we could use. Just somewhere a big group of people could get together and create things. Or talk about creating things.

[ meanwhile, she already came to the network with this exact idea a little over a month ago, and that the group has gotten together a few times since then... feel free to call her out on that ( ooc: also this is me totally using an excuse to pimp out art club to newer characters heh <3 ). but she doesn't remember any of it. not bringing it up, not meeting with people. the sketches she created there are still in her notebooks, but she hasn't made the connection just yet ]

I don't know, it's just an idea. I'm usually not really a planner. But picking a time and place for a group of us to paint together, or just sketch and color in the same space? I'd definitely be up for trying to organize something like that. So... let me know!

[ Sam's definitely experiencing déjà vu here. ]

But there's already an art club... which you started.

[truesight]

Sorry, huh? Wait, did I tell you about this already? I kept meaning to bring it up in public sooner, but, well. This place being all how it is, it never seemed like a great time.

[whitechocolate]

Okay... either this is a really unfunny joke or you hit your head and got selective amnesia or something.

You don't remember meeting up and drawing me with the others?

[realmenknitplushies]

Sounds neat, but... I thought I heard somethin' about one already? Then again, the more of this stuff the better, I ain't complainin'.

[truesight]

Really? Oh, crud. I don't want to step on any toes or anything.

[realmenknitplushies]

Nah. Nah, it's a good idea. Good thinkin'.

Is there access to oil paint? [Someone is an art snob. Or just a snob.]

[truesight]

There's a shop in Freyr that has all kinds of art supplies, but, if you're new in town and don't really have the funds for it, I could always draw you some.

[ oops not going to explain how ]

[hybridize]

I'm sure it would be a lovely picture. [So confused.]

[intelligently]

Apparently you're a planner in this case because you're trying to plan it twice.

[truesight]

[ :c wat ]

Seriously?

[ kind of getting genuinely freaked ]

I don't remember ever- When did I try setting this up? Was it a while ago? [ huff ] Even then, I wouldn't just forget about it.

[intelligently]

Shall I show you everything we've done since we started?

[Video]

[madcuriosity]

Ah, people who already joined don't have to join again, do they?

[Video]

[truesight]

[ frowny ]

Oh, um, no. I guess this is good for new members to join, but I don't honestly remember ever mentioning the idea to anyone before.

[Video]

[madcuriosity]

Oh but, you did, Miss Rachel. We even talked about having Loki House people try and make statues with their telekinesis, and Odin House people making ice sculptures.

[in_loveless_memory]

Is it just painting and that king of artwork or is photography allowed too?

[Voice]

[truesight]

Photography could be cool! Tricky though, because they don't have a dark room here. We could make one, but I'm not sure I know how to draw the chemicals for it. Do you have any experience with that? Developing photos?

[Voice]

[in_loveless_memory]

It's digital camera so I won't actually need a dark room. I can use film though, but no, I've never used such a thing. I tend to do my editing on the computer.

[unforgives]

An art club? That sounds like a good idea.

video;

[truesight]

Doesn't it? It.. might have been one I've already had, but, either way. You should come! If you're ever feeling artsy, that is. I'm going to make it open to everyone, no registration or anything, just- come by when you're feeling creative.

video;

[unforgives]

Really? Well in any case, it's my first time hearing about it.

[she smiles though at the offer] I think I may take you up on that— though it's been a while since I've done anything artsy.

[thoughts]

[ she doesn't know about a club, because she's never been in one ( unless you count the super secret spy assassin club and who wouldn't want that on their letterman's? ), but she likes the idea plenty. the only problem is - ]

She didn't bring any colors.

[truesight]

Oh, hey that's okay. [ so's speaking in 3rd person. whatever, man. ] My power here is drawing life, so I can draw you a kit, if you want. Colored pencils, water colors, oil paints. Whatever you're into.

[recorders]

[ now this is odd. ]

I suppose everyone's already— informed you that you had already— started this club you mentioned but— [ two pauses and his lips twist into a bit of a frown. ] Have you ever had memory problems before?

[truesight]

You mean completely forgetting something like this? No. Actually, back home, half the time I had more memories than I knew what to do with. This is all very- new. For me.
