skills of an artist.

[ Riku's raided a whole mess of art supplies, and now he's plopped down onto the floor, with a poster board all ready to decorate. ]

Jeez, I feel like I'm five ...

[ and so begins the first marker stroke of what'll hopefully end in a neat little "KEEP OUT" sign. ]

[...flop.]

Can I help?

[rikufu.livejournal.com]

[ thanks for turning his long line of a "k" into a squiggle. ]

Arrrrrrgh.

[ there goes his concentration. ]

[simplehero.livejournal.com]

[grabs a marker, turning the top of the squiggle into a flower, and then adds leaves.]

There.

[rikufu.livejournal.com]

[ stare. ]

That's so girly.

[simplehero.livejournal.com]

There's nothing wrong with that.

[birds and bees, now.]

[rikufu.livejournal.com]

[ patiently explains-- ]

I'm not a girl, Sora.

[simplehero.livejournal.com]

There's still nothing wrong with it.

[and suddenly everything's on fire.]

[rikufu.livejournal.com]

[ gives up, just watching Sora. ]

[simplehero.livejournal.com]

[rainbows over the fire, black birds with four wings, his corner's a strange little thing.]

[sitarwithmytoes.livejournal.com]

[enter another annoyance, this one's sucking on a lollipop and leaning over his shoulder]

[pulls it out of his mouth with a loud pop] KEE? What's that supposed to mean?

[rikufu.livejournal.com]

[ hghdsfk; what's with everyone sneaking up on him? ]

It's not finished yet.

[sitarwithmytoes.livejournal.com]

Oh. [puts lollipop back in mouth]

.... [long silence, takes it out with another pop] What's it gonna say?

[rikufu.livejournal.com]

[ huff. ]

"Keep away from me and my work", what do you think?

[sitarwithmytoes.livejournal.com]

Oh, I get it.

...What kind of work? [looks at him, lollipop in mouth, content to be brushing off the cold shoulder he's getting]

[rikufu.livejournal.com]

[ hoo boy. he's got no choice but to roll with it. ]

A sign.

[sitarwithmytoes.livejournal.com]

Ohhh, I thought you meant the sign was to keep people away from some work you were doin'. Haha.

[Thank you Captain Obvious.]

Why so antisocial? [bites into his lollipop with a loud crack, chewchew, stares]

[rikufu.livejournal.com]

No, it's for my room.

[ blows the bangs out of his eyes. ]

Sorry. You scared me.

[sorabug.livejournal.com]

[plops down next to with a big green marker in hand, wanting to help. this corner of the posterboard needs a huge green ugly dinosaur, clearly.]

[rikufu.livejournal.com]

[ well, it's hard to argue with a dinosaur. and a kid. ]

[ starts scribbling out an ugly little mammoth next to it, just for kicks. ]

[sorabug.livejournal.com]

[laughs a little, and scribbles some sort of eyepatch on the dinosaur. ... okay, so now it's pirate dinosaur.]

[the mammoth could use a hat too, and he draws a big square right on its head.]

[rikufu.livejournal.com]

[ k-kind of smiling. ]

What's that supposed to be.

[sorabug.livejournal.com]

It's a hat! 'Cause, he's a cowboy and he's gonna fight the dinosaur!

[coloring in the square now.]

[rikufu.livejournal.com]

Cowboy Mastodon, huh.

[ it's not the same animal Riku was thinking of, but it sounds a lot cooler. ]

[sorabug.livejournal.com]

Yeah! Yeah!

[beams, not sure what exactly a mastodon is, but if a big kid Riku might think it's cool, then it has to be! scribbles wildly across the pirate dinosaur and the cowboy mastodon to indicate fighting, making growling noises all the while.]

[rikufu.livejournal.com]

[ so much for that work of art. leans his head on a hand. ]

Who's gonna win?
