WHEN: Throughout the month
WHAT: It's an open post... and a catch-all. All-purpose post.
WARNINGS: None, will add if necessary

do. drawing in the city

[ Due to some recent... developments... Tsukasa's been putting a lot more effort into keeping himself busy, and that chiefly involves getting better at drawing people. Landscapes, flora, all of that? He's perfectly great at, albeit his style errs more on a loose, flighty style of watercolor.

But again. Getting better at drawing people. He can be found at a few of the parks doing studies on people, couples, animals, you... all of that. Looking vaguely frustrated and, at one point, just kind of. flopping back in the grass with the world's loudest groan.

Not that his attempts at it at the square are much better, where he ends up laying on the fountain's edge, looking at the water like he's considering rolling into it.

......Yeah, it really isn't going well. ]

re. drawing out of the city

[ "Maybe I'll have better luck somewhere new," he said, and then went to Pesgare one weekend when he wasn't busy.

Except Tsukasa doesn't handle boats well, so on the way he can be found leaning on the railing and looking more than a little miserable. He prefers these to like, airplanes? Definitely? But... boats... Three hours of this is awful, like at least it isn't walking into heat but Respartum had only been like an hour away...!?

When he's there though, he can be found resting his poor stomach on the side of the road for a bit before he starts sketching again. Those with a keen eye will notice, though, that he ends up drawing the sights more than the people... Pesgare is beautiful, and he needs to practice architecture anyway... ♪ Even if he's supposed to be focusing on people.

He can also be found just around, taking in the sights and... in the marketplace, taking in the smells. And the bakeries. And— look, he likes food, shush. Are you reaching for that last chocolat au pain or other tasty treat too? Tsukasa'll back off with an "Ah, sorry," though he'll look a little put-out at not being able to have it himself. ]

[ Nothing catching your interest/we already have plans/you wanna do class stuff (his electives are art and home ec, he's in Art Club)/maybe at work at the riding school and stables/whatever? Go ahead and throw me anything, I'll roll with it! You can also catch me over on plurk at flaired, or on Discord at Bella#4429; I'm quicker to reply to pings though, as a heads up. ]

You did say you'd want to take someone you like, right?

[ So. How many are there!! ]

[stressweets]

[ wheeze ]

W-Well... Sure... [ hahaha he's gonna stare at the ocean. that's a terrible idea. this is better than looking at Natalia. ] ...Ummm, I'd like to take Anya there, I guess... Maybe. Things are a little...

[ ........mmmmmmmmmm. ]

It's my own problem. [ vague. ] Um, rather, any hesitation or things being weird are just for me, not for her. She's a very sweet, wonderful girl who'd love to go with me anywhere, I'm sure. I think she'd really like Magatus, actually... She liked it a lot when it snowed.

[nachetanya]

[ Do do do do ... ]

Oh, I'm not sure I know her! Do you have a picture of her in your contacts or something, could you show me?

[stressweets]

[ ...give him a second, uh—

He'll show her this one, it's what he has for her icon for his phone anyway... ]

She's really pretty, isn't she? Like an angel... ♪

[nachetanya]

[ ATTEMPTS SLEIGHT OF HAND CHECK TO STEAL THE PHONE.

ROLLS 12 ]

[stressweets]

[ GDI DON'T MAKE ME ROLL AN OPPOSED CHECK

15 BECAUSE HE'S FULLY AWARE OF HER, NO. HE'S HOLDING HIS PHONE AGAINST HIS CHEST AND SCOOTING AWAY. ]

What do you think you're doing!?

[nachetanya]

I was going to call her.

[ SO...... ]

[stressweets]

[


oh my God ]

No. Never. Absolutely not. Why. I— [ mmm ] can't talk to her right now, Natalia?

[nachetanya]

Why can't you?

[ WITH A SMILE . . . ]

[stressweets]

[ . . . ]

I don't feel well because of the boat and I don't think that's going to help any. Ummm, to be honest, talking now hasn't really helped either...

[nachetanya]

[ . . . Heeeeee. ]

Don't worry, even if you end up getting sick afterwords, I'm sure the "I like you" will ring out loud and clear.

[ She said, reaching out her right arm to put it on his shoulder. ]

[stressweets]

Anya doesn't like me back the same way, and I'd rather not make her turn me down.

[ She feels terrible when she has to do that; he'd never want to cause that...

...he is going to duck out of her reach and puts his phone away, hfff. ]

...She thinks I have a crush on someone who isn't her, too. [ His own mistake. ] So at best she'd think it was confession rehearsal, and at worst... a joke? Telling me I should save those words for someone I really liked, or something... Anyway, I appreciate the thought, but no thank you.

[nachetanya]

... Oh. That sounds to me like you're complicating it! Buuuuuut, okay, sorry.

[ She hums, taking her hand back to herself and leans back against the rail. She looks off-- Oh! ]

I think I can see it on the horizon!

[stressweets]

Oh, thank god. [ He really hopes so...~ ] Ahhh, really? Can you? Please don't pull my leg like this, I'll die.

[nachetanya]

No, I really can! Come on, look, when you can!

[ At the very least she can see a lighthouse there on the horizon... ]
