Portrait booth.

[maverick-blades.livejournal.com]

[Rikka has hauled his paint-splattered easel and giant tacklebox out into the hallway and equipped it with a stack of thick 11x14" fawn colored paper. He typically loves painting abstractions and outer space, but after finding an entire box of old Rembrandt Van Rijn and Leonardo Da Vinci slides, he's decided he needs to work on his ability to draw people. He's placed a comfortable chair facing himself, and is sharpening a stick of conte crayon with a utility knife to a rather blunt point. There's a sign on the easel that says 'Free Portraits' in big, capital letters.]

I don't know what I'm doing yet...probably dressing up, but I don't know what as yet.

[maverick-blades.livejournal.com]

*... reaches across and pokes your forehead*

Childlike Empress. Or maybe Hikari instead.

[shadowedxlight.livejournal.com]

[She just raises an eyebrow at the poke and the first idea.]

Oh? What makes you think that?

[maverick-blades.livejournal.com]

Then I could be Atreyu!

*grins*

Oh my God you read my mind, one of my two was going to be her so Rikka could be Atreyu XD

[shadowedxlight.livejournal.com]

[She giggles.]

Okay that works!

LOL that's awesome!

[maverick-blades.livejournal.com]

*grins*

I'll even find a horse!

[shadowedxlight.livejournal.com]

I'll go look for a dress!

[She is trying so hard not to laugh so he can finish the picture but she will be having one hell of a gigglefit once he's done.]

[maverick-blades.livejournal.com]

Right now?! I better draw faster then! Can I just skip your ears?

*he laughs too*

[shadowedxlight.livejournal.com]

No no, take as much time as you need, I've got a month and a half.

[Snickering so much right now, oh gosh]

[maverick-blades.livejournal.com]

Oh, right. Well that's good. All I've got's a chocobo. I'd need a horse.

[shadowedxlight.livejournal.com]

Yeah. Hell, I'll help you find one if you can't right off the bat.

[maverick-blades.livejournal.com]

Sounds good to me. Course, odds are, I'll get turned into some kind of furniture or something.

[shadowedxlight.livejournal.com]

Well if that happens we can have a post-Halloween costume party to make up for it or something.

[maverick-blades.livejournal.com]

Or maybe... for my birthday. It's before Halloween though.

[shadowedxlight.livejournal.com]

Oh that works too! Mine's in the middle of May.

[maverick-blades.livejournal.com]

You must be... a Taurus, then. When's Hikari's?

[shadowedxlight.livejournal.com]

Same as mine actually.

[Yes that does happen Such as with the mun's sister and stepbrother xD]

[maverick-blades.livejournal.com]

Wow, really? What are the odds of that. I'll keep that in mind, though.

[shadowedxlight.livejournal.com]

Yeah, I know!

[Are you done yet? She wants to see, and is trying so hard not to fidget.]

So your birthday's around Halloween huh?

[maverick-blades.livejournal.com]

*he's getting there! he's a perfectionist*

October 27th.

*in a couple more minutes though, he'll brush the paper off and hand you the drawing -- it's actually a pretty good rendering, minus the fact that he made your face a little poufier than it really is*

[shadowedxlight.livejournal.com]

Okay, cool.

[Looks at the picture when he hands it to her and smiles.]

That is amazing.

[Giggles a little and gives you a hair ruffle, she can't help it.]

Thanks.

[maverick-blades.livejournal.com]

*he beams when she approves, and shrugs*

I wish I'd made the composition different, but it's not too bad I guess.

*frowns at that hair ruffle -- now he has to fix his emo flip*

[shadowedxlight.livejournal.com]

[Oops sorry She figures it's typical....whatever it's called, artist not being really crazy about how their stuff turned out.]

Oh it's great! Now I just have to find a frame for it.

[Fixes his hair for him so he doesn't have to.]

[maverick-blades.livejournal.com]

*being your own worst critic? well, it's important -- you never get better if you aren't*

You're going to frame it? It's so... bland.

*doesn't know why you'd want to frame something he did in fifteen minutes*

[shadowedxlight.livejournal.com]

[Yeah that. She shrugs a bit.]

Maybe but no one ever drew me before.
