Game 2, Day 3

[kentucky_mcgiygas]

[ Did everybody sleep well? At promptly 6 AM, or at least what the tablets proclaim to be 6 AM, Ronald bursts in with the morning announcements. ]

Good morning, kids! Today we have a fantastic new game for you to play, and we think you'll have a lot of fun! It's fun, it's a classic, iiiiiiiiit's



[ The feed switches off, but only for a second before flicking back on so Ronald can add: ]

Oh, by the way, Seven died trying to escape.

[SIGH... honestly she wasn't sure herself until she had to put it into words]

He and Santa are already like [fingers crossed] this. It gives me a funny feeling like Corrin's getting close to him on purpose.

I'll probably get over myself once I just see him vote or something! Getting zero ballots was bad luck for him with all that stuff he did.

[manuscripture]

For what it's worth, I don't blame you for having shoddy trust in people like that. Santa strikes me as an odd bird all around and I'm not really going to say that I would trust him with my life.

I might be prejudging but I can't help but feel that he might have an ulterior motive...

... whenever you want, I'll do a dare.

[keybroad]

[She doesn't entirely meet his eyes when he says these not so nice things about Santa. It gives this impression that she sort of agrees with Rohan and just doesn't want to go on record. Her eyes are sparkling once he asks for a dare.]

I'll need a while to think of something really good that can earn you lots of points. How about to pass the time until then... you show me what a page of your manga is like?

[manuscripture]

[ He doesn't need to ask more questions in this case. He isn't going to press if she doesn't want him to so he lets it roll off of his back and sink into what he DOES like to do. ]

Only if I can use it for points. [ He's teasing. Really. He holds up a finger to her that he will return in a moment and skitters off in the general direction of where he has been staying. The sketchbook he found somewhere and the actual not-comically-huge pencils are a blessing.

He has already started long before he returns to her with his drawing-- that's his skill: to draw obscenely quickly from it being through practice alone. ]

I can't promise that this looks anywhere close to what I usually do, but... [ He turns the book around to show her. It's simple enough featuring a crowded street of people (UH, MEN) staring and pointing at the sky in abject horror at the image of a fearsome dragon turning harshly in the sky mid-flight with what appears to be a thunderbird in its mouth, blood, guts, and all. The scene itself is impressive in conveying the movement and emotions on the still page. ]

Here.

[keybroad]

[Lotus immediately extricates herself from anyone else who's struck up a conversation with her once she sees that Rohan is back. She waits for his approach and leans down to view eagerly without touching.]

This is really good. You probably get that a lot but I can really see why the people would be terrified of this if it were happening in real life. Is it some kind of... military base that's the last line of defense against the dragons?

[Since that is a... lot of men in one place.]

[manuscripture]

[ don't drag his Boys. ]

... It can be. I mean there's no tangential storyline I can convey here. Just take it for what it is.

[keybroad]

[the young men are trying their best]

I guess there's nothing wrong with a oneshot type thing. It just looked like you had to be purposefully...

[Eyes lighting up, Lotus slams her hand on the nearest furniture so hard that all her bracelets jangle.]

Rohan! I dare you to draw a picture of a woman!

[manuscripture]

[ haha fuck ]

Do I have to...?

[ ofc he does. He can't show any fear but he isn't gonna like it. His lips draw tight as he flips a page and... Tries for it.

It takes him a bit longer than the first one but... When he turns it around, it's... Well, it's certainly her but a little wonky in the anatomy department. It's not BAD obviously; it's a little off. Probably because it isn't fanservice-y and is PRETTY CONSERVATIVE. ]

... Here.

[keybroad]

Oh...

[She has to pull back her hand because she wants so badly to tear this out and hang it up on her minifridge but he has clearly implied a desire to not get his artwork touched. So Lotus just clasps her hands together piously.]

This is good for a first try. You definitely get a passing grade.

[manuscripture]

I've drawn women before but I don't care to. Females aren't my demographic anyway.

Do you want it?

[keybroad]

[she raises an eyebrow at his demographic; it's not how she expected that sentence to end, but she won't question it]

Yeah, I do, if it's okay with you. Please sign it.

[manuscripture]

[ Puffing out his cheeks, he follows suit, tears it out and offers it. ]

Stick it wherever. You got an original that I painstakingly drew under pressure. [ its cute tho ]

[keybroad]

I will never sell this one of a kind masterpiece. My descendants are gonna have to fight about what to do with it. In fact, I'll go put this away right now.

[manuscripture]

Thank God. I would have to give you a set starting price to do so.

[ After a beat, he looks at his book again and then back up to her. ]

You go do that. I'll see you soon, yes?

[keybroad]

Of course. See you later~
