it's art time byotches

Who: Alex Russo and YOU
Broadcast: Nope
Action: The art studio on the Iskaulit
When: Pre-moon

[After several weeks of getting her big project together, it's finally the day Alex has been working towards - her art therapy studio is finished! It's a long room with white walls and a high, industrial ceiling. Along one wall are open shelves of supplies and wide basin sinks, while the other features large windows looking out on space. Several large easels are set up, as well as some tables and stools. Whatever kind of art it is you want to do, the room seems to be stocked for it - whatever you're looking for just seems to show up somewhere among the items, and paint and cleaning supplies never seem to run out. Of course, no charm is perfect. Depending on what's on your mind, you may find a cheeseburger or a roll of fake cash instead. The room has a few other quirks as well, like a self-cleaning floor and lighting that adjusts to your preference as soon as you feel you need it to. Half the work was in getting actual supplies together, but Alex spent a fair amount of time charming the hell out of it as well.

The wizard herself can be found around the studio throughout the day, working on a small painting in one corner. Part of it seems to consist of skyscrapers, in all sorts of rainbow colors, while other parts look like a bright nebula, reaching down in between the buildings. She'll be waving to people that come in, trying to be outgoing and pleasant for once, but for the most part she'll be absorbed in her own work.

Come on in and throw some paint around! Everyone is welcome.]

[Allen wasn't an artist, but he was friends with Alex so of course he'd come visit her after she opened up the art studio. It was good to support friends after all!]

[So he'll be stepping in, carrying a package wrapped in fairly plain paper. Looking around...wow. He wasn't adept at sensing magic, but between the Order and Paradisa he had lived among magic to long enough to know its handiwork. That old tug in one's mind of knowing something isn't quite logical or even possible in its existence. This place definitely gave off that feeling as he took it in, and it made him smile some. Maybe he has missed the constant presence of magic more than he realized]

[But he came here for Alex, so once he's done looking around, he'll focus on that. He'll approach her, smiling]

This looks wonderful, Alex.

[She looks over her shoulder, returning the smile with a heavy dose of nervous awkwardness. Her artwork is still on the rebound from a year and a half's hiatus, but the colors are brighter and more confident than they were at the start. She's got a small dab of pink on the side of one cheek, and something seems far more natural about her in this environment.]

Hey. Thanks. [She looks back down at the picture, gesturing vaguely.] It's going to be New York. My home.

[save_the_souls]

[He smiles. She does seem well suited for a place like this. Even if she seemed nervous]

New York? That's a good idea. [That place was always a cool looking city. He'll hold out the package in his hand] Here, I got you something...um, a studio-warming present?

[delincuente]

Dude, you didn't have to do that. [But her cheeks flush just a little as she takes the package from him and starts to open it.]

[save_the_souls]

I know! But after Christmas, it just felt right.

[And when she opens it? It looks like it's a novelty mug]

[delincuente]

[As soon as she sees the mug, she breaks out laughing.]

I love it! And I never even told you Dali's my fave.

[save_the_souls]

Is he?

Well that's a lucky guess on my part. I picked it because of the mustache.

[delincuente]

Yeah, he was this crazy awesome surrealist. And his mustache is killer.

[save_the_souls]

A surrealist, huh....

Yeah. I could see why he'd be your favourite.
