[ he taps a canvas with an underpainting of the garden outside the meeting hall, with what looks like two young men having tea. only a few patches of color have been added so far. ]
Started this guy on Monday, and I've been trying to mix paint all week to get the colors I want. It's not my usual style, though, and oils take a bit of time to dry, so there's only so much I can do at once. Other than that...
[ he holds out a sketchbook! it's the one he usually carries around, already well-worn. inside are sketches from around the prism - the people, the locations, the parties - and some people (and a bird?) that may be unrecognizable to prompto, but familiar to kumon. ]
[ they are pretty small in the painting but might have familiar silhouettes. ]
Oil paints take days to dry, so you have to take it slow. It... might have been smarter to do this one in acrylics instead, but I wanted to try something different, you know?
And that depends on how detailed I want it to be! Some sketches take a few seconds, some up to a few minutes. Most of those are probs... thirty seconds, tops? Except for the landscapes - those took a little longer.
[ the presentation alone and dedication to his brother should count as a skill ]
It was a pretty good presentation. A friend of mine has a cute younger sibling, but she would sooner drag him than compliment him. Not that I blame her... Gladio is pretty draggable.
That is really nice of you. Are you planning on displaying it?
[ go ahead and lean in. he'll lean towards him when he does. ]
Dun dun dun! The brother! It's nice being able to have a face to go with the name. I kept just imagining a taller Kumon with a mustache. [ he is way way different omg ]
He's big, all muscles, and a huge chick magnet. Any time we take our eyes off of him, he'll be flirting or texting some girl or another. Oh! I have some pics that I could show you.
Okay, one sec! Let's see... [ Turning on his camera and scrolling through. He'll first find this shot. Then he finds this one. ] Here! He's the one in the back without a shirt.
The resemblance is there, but not that much! Hyodle's got way more of a tough guy look than the excited puppy one, but he's still a big softie on the inside. It's super cute!
[ oh... kazu copies it down into a note on his phone. ]
They supposedly had a plan to get home that they were working on with some of the others. So this was it - throwing the prism out of balance?
...I wonder if the ones he says weren't ready are the four residents we know. They've said they don't know Dreamer, but with how easily these people from before forgot stuff from their old lives, couldn't they forget someone who isn't in the prism anymore, too?

[ time to paw through the sketchbook. ]
How long does it take for you to do a sketch?

November, Danny and I found this note at Party City. It's that Dreamer person again.
