WHO: Sakura Tohsaka, YOU
WHERE: Recollé Park, the Leviathan's Claw
WHEN: 9.22.17
WHAT: Either Sakura's drawing your character as a fantasy trope or she's telling you ghost stories to sell wares. This girl's got shit to do.
WARNINGS: Maybe vague mentions of monster horror in her drawings/stories, but otherwise none!

I. Draw Me Like Your French Girls, Senpai

[There's only so long Sakura will allow herself to skimp out on drawing practice, so come Friday she heads out of her apartment early, art supplies carefully tucked underneath her arm in a pink tote bag. To her luck, she lives within walking distance of Recollé Park, and with the brisk morning air to clear her thoughts, she's in the proper mindset once she settles on the dew-dropped grass. For what exactly?

Well, that's where everyone else comes in. You might feel a pair of eyes on you, stranger, in the form of a young woman sneaking glances before her hand winds around her drawing pad. Though she'll do her best to avoid eye-contact, it's pretty obvious what she's doing. The real question is who is she drawing.

You?

Maaaaaybe.

For anyone bold or annoyed enough to demand an answer or steal a peek, they'll see Sakura's gotten creative with her people watching. She's not just drawing who she sees; between the gesture drawing and expression studies, she's traded normal outfits for a more fantastical flair, reimagining everyone as D&D characters. Perhaps she's decided you make a fine-looking Barbarian, Miss, or the person over yonder is looking particularly Rogue-ish today. And for the truly unfortunate among you -- Sakura did you just draw that poor dude getting eaten by the Kraken?

There sure are a lot of monsters in this sketchbook.]

II. I Wouldn't Turn Around If I Were You

[And after she inevitably loses her nerve and vows never to draw in public again--

It's work time! Specifically at the Leviathan's Claw, here to serve all your weird nicknack and supernatural needs. At first it seems no one's manning the front until you wander further in, and a smiling face pops up right behind you, esteemed customer.]

Ah, how may I be of service to you? Oh but please speak quietly -- [Voice in a whisper, she leans in with a hand half-covering her mouth. Her expression is dead serious.]

I haven't yet caught our Kuchisake-onna, and it's best you not see her without her mask on...

III. Wildcard

[What weirdness do you wanna see? I am here to make all dreams come true. Just PM me or leave a prompt, I will follow along.]

-----

[ooc: For the first prompt, let me know if you prefer I RNG what Sakura draws your character as, or if you have a specific outfit you'd like seen!]

[Oh good she's not about to bite his head off... Kurt nods casually.]

Yeah, I've got no problem at all! Not all of my material's great, but it's a fun ride.

Um... Well, I'm not acting at the moment. But I'm ready to jump back in the seat whenever the show kicks off again!

[imaginex]

Hmmm, well... with experience comes greatness, yes? [is that even an American saying?]

I'm sure you'll do well whenever you decide to go back.

[She folds her hands on top of her lap] Does this mean you're in school right now?

[digthefuzz]

[Kurt gives a thumbs up in response to that saying. He's pretty sure he's never heard it before... but he does like being great!]

Thanks! Yeah, you're on the money. I'm attending Recolle U! How about you?

[imaginex]

I plan to attend this spring.

[... No, it's best she not bring the mood down but giving out the real reason she's here]

So until then I'm working part time and brushing up on my art.

[digthefuzz]

Oh, well that's neat! I'll pretty much be a sophomore than... when your time comes, I'll gladly show you the ropes of campus! [He says with pointed finger guns and glances towards her sketchbook again.]

And, hey, I think you're off to a pretty rad start!

[imaginex]

Oh, like a Senpai?

[Will he even get that joke? Regardless, Sakura's amusement spikes for the second time, and she giggles at the finger guns]

Thank you for the offer, though. My name's Sakura.

[digthefuzz]

[He may watch some anime, but he hasn't quite picked up on the word senpai yet. He assumes it's a reference of some kind... so he just blinks and laughs.]

No problemo! Good to meet you, Sakura. I'm Kurt!

[imaginex]

Kurt-san, then.

Hopefully I'll get to see you around campus at some point. If your fans aren't crowding you, of course.

[digthefuzz]

[Whoa one of those honorific things! Kurt smiles in response and nods.]

Ha! Don't worry. I'll clear any crowd to say hi to you!
