video/optional action

Who: Arthur
Broadcast: Fleetwide
Action: SS Red fish if you want
When: Today

[Arthur turns on the video, and it appears he's hanging out in his bunk on the Red fish. He holds up a small moleskine notebook, turning the page to the camera and letting it adjust. On the page is a very neat, realistic sketch of a woman's face, delicate with big eyes and long dark hair. He flips it to the next page, where he sketched a man's face, with bigger lips and scruff around his mouth. He takes the notebook away so the camera can focus on his own face.]

Those are just some sketches of people I know. I was thinking maybe I could try and draw things for people. I can even try for some portraits of people from your home, if you'll describe them to me.

[ooc: The drawings are of Ariadne and Eames from Inception. I really like the idea of Arthur sketching people in his notebook, and I imagine his style of art like sin_repent's version. ANYWAY, feel free to have facetwin confusion with the drawings if you'd like.]
onlyburnhotter: (That's actually pretty interesting.)

Hey, not too bad. Can you really do a good sketch of someone just based off a description of them?

[She doesn't sound challenging in her question, more so genuinely interested. Perhaps considering whether or not to take Arthur up on his request?]

Photo, photo...

[Yang searches herself for a moment. Sure enough, she doesn't have a hard copy version of her team RWBY photo. That was back in their Beacon dorm room. If she only had her scroll...]

Yeah, I don't have one. But if you're willing to give the whole sketch from a description thing a shot, then you might have your first customer.
onlyburnhotter: (That's actually pretty interesting.)

[personal profile] onlyburnhotter 2016-03-28 06:58 pm (UTC)(link)
Oh?

You'd really do it for free?

[That line elicits a small, but warm smile from Yang.]

That is a generous offer.

Well then, better not look a gift horse in the mouth right? Do you want me in person to give you the description, or can I just give it to you over the air waves... or network waves... or whatever?
onlyburnhotter: (That's actually pretty interesting.)

[personal profile] onlyburnhotter 2016-03-30 06:28 pm (UTC)(link)
Hmmm...

You wouldn't mind me basically watching you over your shoulder?

[Yang smiles back.]

All right. Why not? What ship are you on?
onlyburnhotter: (Wave hello)

Action ahoy!

[personal profile] onlyburnhotter 2016-03-31 02:02 am (UTC)(link)
[Yang nods.]

Yup. See you in a few.

[Sure enough, after a few minutes Arthur will hear a tentative knock at his door.]
onlyburnhotter: (neutral)

[personal profile] onlyburnhotter 2016-03-31 12:39 pm (UTC)(link)
Ah! You're right, we didn't.

[Yang lets out a soft burst of laughter at that.]

I'm Yang. Nice to meet you Arthur.
onlyburnhotter: (That's actually pretty interesting.)

[personal profile] onlyburnhotter 2016-04-03 10:18 pm (UTC)(link)
Works for me.

[After all, Kitchen means potential snacks right?]

[She steps out of the way, letting him pass and lead on.]

[Yang snickers a little at the word "goo." Well said, guy. She's about to take a seat, but instead she stands up and begins to walk about the kitchen.]

It's cool, I can get it. Where do you all keep your "goo?"
onlyburnhotter: (neutral)

[Yang's rummaging about in their kitchen at the moment, but she turns her head around to better answer Arthur's question.]

Oh, right. It's a drawing of four people actually. Is that okay? Or too much?
