Observation 3 - Transferable Skill

[originalnumber]

[Action - Park] 

Today, Astral is sitting in the park with a large pad of blank paper and a pencil. He seems to be staring at various objects for certain amounts of time before looking at the pad of paper and starting to draw- and this goes on for quite some time in fact.

The interesting thing however, is that something that most would pop out a 'gesture drawing' from is coming out as a full scale, heavily detailed and accurate pencil sketch, and he doesn't even seem to be finding this difficult unless one counts the fatigue his fingers are beginning to feel.

For the moment, he might actually have just finished a picture of a bird, the playground equipment...

Or perhaps you, in whatever pose you were in a few moments ago.

It really depends.

[Astral draws up another artist walking her way into the park with art supplies, looking around for a good place to draw some scenery. She catches sight of someone else drawing, and approaches, smiling.]

Oh, I wasn't expecting to see anyone else here working.

[originalnumber]

"Aah-" He turns. "I have only recently taken up the hobby, admittedly. Where I am from, I am unable to come into physical contact with anything, so it's quite new for me."

[forever_cheery]

Oh, really? That must be so difficult... I know the feeling though. But here, you can draw all you want, anywhere you want! It's a lot of fun.

[originalnumber]

"Ah- you draw as well then?"

[cullscuttlefish]

[Feferi's passing by, and she gasps. That's impressive! She can't help but watch.]

Those are beautiful!

!!! Feferi!! ouo!

[originalnumber]

"Mn?" He turns, blinking a moment as he looks back to the paper. "...I was merely drawing what I saw... ...However, I am glad that you appreciate it," he continues honestly.

[cullscuttlefish]

"No, don't underestimate your talent. I mean, these are really pretty! " Feferi's voice was just as sincere. "I can't draw at all, but I love seeing art from people that can."

[Zero Lance hasn't noticed yet, as he's busy training with a couple of broomsticks. Why, nobody knows aside from his best friend, but his sweeping, graceful movements make it seem like he's dancing instead of mock fighting.]

Astral's a creeper. D:

[originalnumber]

It is indeed graceful- and quite interesting to draw, in Astral's opinion.

It's particularly informative of the various movements human beings are capable of in his opinion.

It's okay, Zero Lancer doesn't mind, actually. xD

[sexmuid]

[After a while, he stops. The brooms are put aside, and he wipes away the sweat off of his forehead with his arm.

He then reaches for a bottle of water, when he catches Astral out of the corner of his eye.]

Ah...[Smiles and waves at him.] Hello there!

[nyanpire]

[How hard is it to draw a kitten that's in a stop-start of fairly constant motion? Nyanpire's there, stalking dry leaves, going from low pre-pounce crouches to sudden bursts of frenzied leaf-mauling activity.

But phew, this is hard work... he eventually flops over, a half-shredded leaf in his mouth, to catch his breath.]

Pt!

[Oh hey. Was someone watching him?]

Nyaa?

[originalnumber]

"AH-" CATS.

He briefly freezes, but soon gets over it. He's somewhat afraid of cats, sorry. "... ....Hello." Well, the fact is he only needed a single look... If nyanpire is in constant motion after, it's plenty okay... Photographic memory that he appears to have and all that.

[nyanpire]

Nyaa?

[How is it that cats seem to know when they're not wanted? And thus respond by smothering that person with attention? Nyanpire feels that instinctive feline understanding, then rolls to his feet and bounds playfully over.]

Hello! Who're you, nyaa?

[silver_reign]

- Dynamo was already growing bored of this place. It was a very good repelica of years long gone by... but what was the point? He was wandering about that park again. Looking, searching for something entertaining ... oh, who's that over there? Watch out... you've been spotted. H casually makes his way on over and sits right down.-

Hey.

[originalnumber]

Blink, blink. "Ah. Hello." He's turned to say that at least.

[silver_reign]

Color me clueless, but this... this...

-He pointed at the paper.-

...drawing thing, is it a favorite past time of the people who live here?

[magicalrealist]

(Have a pony to sketch, Astral. She hasn't noticed you drawing her yet and doesn't have her horn, but that's not stopping her from enjoying a good book! Very very little can prevent her from doing that.)

[originalnumber]

Draw draw d-

Hold on a second now.

Have an Astral walking over, staring for a moment and- "...You are... 'Twilight'?"

Guess what Twilight! Someone's told him about you, and that someone really likes apples.

[magicalrealist]

(Oh really? She doesn't seem too bothered by others knowing about her, though.)

Yes I am. Can I help you with something?

Action ☆

[badend_replay]

[ Rika peeks at the picture, immediately surprised-- and impressed-- by what she sees. ]

Those are very amazing, sir!

[originalnumber]

"Aah-" Blink. "Thank you."

[badend_replay]

Is this sort of thing a hobby of yours? You seem to be very experienced.

[madanomadamada]

[ With a bottle in hand, Ryoma sits down next to Astral.

Totally pretending like he's not interested, but he does sneak a glance when he drinks out of the bottle. ]

[originalnumber]

Astral doesn't stop- though he does have a feeling that Ryoma is paying more attention to what he's doing than he lets on.

Still though, not his place to comment right? It's not as though it's distracting him.

[madanomadamada]

[ Yep, Ryoma is actually impressed. Drawing is not his strong points. That's sports and English. But in this place the language goes automatic for everyone, so that sotr of sucks for him.

He'll continue to glance the pad's way without saying anything. ]
