(( I am here now with a bunch more muses!))
||: “They... They won’t respond to my song... I really don’t have the same kind of power with my song as Mother did, even with this pendant...” :||
( Niles: )
“You’d be right there. I won’t do anything to harm your, thief’s honour. Not that that means a lot, since thieves are notoriously bad at keeping promises… Heh, I suppose you’ll just have to trust me~”
Niles fought the urge to roll his eye as Shigure started going on about art again. He hoped this wasn’t the only way the younger man knew how to communicate, or Niles was going to get bored, fast. “Huh? Oh- yes, I do. A lockpick works by pressing down the tumblers in a lock one by one in the same order that a key would do it. And arrows have feathers because it helps them fly straighter and further. They’re like wings on birds.”
||: Shigure tried to ignore the subtle threat that he might get betrayed, figuring those were just be empty words. The festival had barely begun, and there was surely more that the older archer wanted to do here than just pester a teenager who had been sitting outside his quarters drawing trees.
When Niles finally responded to his prompt, though, Shigure sighed quietly. Of course this guy was beginning to tune out, but at the very least he had heard what was said about the tools of his trade. “Well, looks like you’re a thief and an archer who knows what he’s doing, as expected.” Shigure replied. “So you understand why I know so much about the various media that I use in my artwork. My oil pastels are akin to your lockpicks and arrows, after all.”
Seeing as, at this point, Shigure was starting to repeat himself, he figured he should change the subject a little. He stared off at the trees he had been drawing with his oil pastels and sighed. “The fall foliage in this realm is so vibrant. Both the Deeprealm where I was raised for most of my life as well as my home now don’t have this much color even in their most colorful of autumn seasons. The hosts really did choose a realm with such impressive autumn splendor to take in as the backdrop of our festival activities here.” :||

||: “Well, I mean, this character I’m dressed up as is a thief of justice.” Shigure noted. “If I did little things like stealing treats from bullies and misers to give to less fortunate children, that would still be in character.” Not that Shigure had any intention of stealing candy from anybody, even if he was wearing a mask that made it much more difficult to identify him.
“I’ll just deal with this the old fashioned way, for the most part, however.” :||
( Enthralled Spectator: )

||: “...R-really?” It was a good thing that Shigure was wearing a mask over his face, as it covered up most of his blushing. “I wasn’t actually intending to leave anyway. That’s just what this character says when he makes that pose, after all.” At least, it’s written on the background behind him. “Besides, I just arrived as it is.” :||
||: A figure dressed in dark blue jumped down out of nowhere before striking a rather flamboyant pose. "It was fun while it lasted. Goodbye.” The masked reveler had announced that to nobody in particular, as if he was an actor in a play that was being put on for an empty audience. He was practically a dead ringer for the character he was trying to portray, and if it weren’t for the fact that his hair was light blue instead of dark, it would be hard to discern that it was indeed the young Sky Knight Shigure under that mask. :||
( Niles: )
“Oh, you think?” Niles chuckled. “I could tell you stories of things I’ve done in public that would make that pretty blue hair go white with shock. But I’ll spare you the details for now… Unless you’re interested~?” For all his words, Niles didn’t really intend to do anything to Shigure. The younger man was right- there were far too many people around, and besides, Niles was actually in a fairly good mood for once.
He made an effort to listen to Shigure’s explanation of art techniques, but ultimately ended up tuning most of it out. All of these finer details always went right over his head. “I see,” he said, trying to sound at least a little interested. “You really know your stuff, don’t you?”
||: “...I would prefer to keep my hair its current shade of blue, thank you very much.” Shigure cleared his throat after speaking. “I’ll just have to trust that your desire to partake in all of this week’s activities is greater than your wish to void your invitation to this realm by making a scene revolving around me.” Surely Shigure hadn’t irked Niles enough for that (or at all, really). Trying not to egg the white haired archer on, Shigure quickly switched topics.
“Seeing as I am an artist for a living, I would think it prudent to know how all my tools work.” He explained, closing his eyes as he began prattling on again. “It would be like a thief not knowing how a lockpick worked, or an archer having no idea why arrows have feathers fletched onto their tail ends.” Shigure’s eyes opened once more. “As somebody who partakes in both crafts, I would assume you have ample knowledge about both, yes?” :||
( Niles: )
“That’s the least disappointed or annoyed I’ve ever heard anyone sound when they realised I was watching them,” Niles said wryly. “Which I suppose is a good thing…” He settled down on the grass next to Shigure, letting out a sigh as he peered at the sketch.
“You say it’s rough, but it’s still a hundred times better than anything I could ever create.” Curious, Niles prodded gently at some of the lines, surprised by the firm but slightly tacky texture of the oil pastel. “Huh. I always thought that an oil pastel would be a little more- well, oily. I guess not, though…”
||: “I’ve heard... enough about you from my mother.” Shigure chuckled quietly as he turned the sketch back toward himself. "That and I doubt you would try anything funny with there being so many people around here. Too many people to alert, you know? Considering I’m a singer, I know how to project my voice...” There was a bit of a threat, though the Sky Knight figured there would be little reason to act on it.
“Ah, oil pastels are actually called such because the oily binder used alongside wax in order to keep them held together.” Shigure had lapsed into art nerd mode once the consistency of his medium of choice was brought into question. “There actually isn’t much oil in them, and what is present mostly just makes the colors brighter and edges crisper. You can use oil solvents on them as well due to the oil content, or layer them on thick to make an effect similar to an oil painting.” The blue haired artist held up an orange pastel as he finished his thought. “But oil pastels are far easier to clean up once you’re finished as well all the necessary materials being easier to tote around.” :||
( Niles: )
“…Evening. You know you’ve been sitting right under my window for the past hour, right?” Niles didn’t bother to warn Shigure of his approach before greeting him- if he made the younger man jump, well, that was just all the more fun. “I’ve been watching you draw from the comfort of my warm cabin, so I figured it was about time I actually found out what it was you were drawing. The landscape, I suppose?”
||: “...Huh?!” Shigure’s head whipped around upon hearing a voice addressing him, not having expected anybody to talk to him just then. Upon looking around, the blue haired Sky Knight finally laid eyes on Niles and settled down again.
“Oh, it’s you.” He replied with a much calmer voice this time. “Would you care to see what I’ve been sketching? It’s not done, but you’re right, it’s the landscape.” And with that, Shigure turned his pad of paper around so that Niles could see the half-finished oil pastel drawing of the nearby trees. “It’ll be more refined by the time I finish, so excuse the roughness.” :||
||: He’s just been sitting around near the fountain with some oil pastels, looking up at the trees every so often before looking back down at the drawing in front of him. It’s pretty easy to assume that Shigure’s drawing the autumn landscape. :||
FALL SCRAMBLE 2017 HOT SPRING SOCIAL (CHARACTER LINES)
“This place has such wonderful atmosphere.” “Today will be my first chance to actually enjoy a hot spring! I’m so excited!” “The haze of sunset… Vermilion leaves… This place is just stunning!” “Each hot spring has its own special properties!” “Trying to beat me to the hot springs, is that it?” “You’ve never heard of a yukata?” “Aren’t you going to bathe with me and the others? You’re still dressed.” “Alright, now that you’re properly dressed, we’re ready to tie your hair!” “Just look at the foliage floating there on the water! It’s breathtaking…” “Mmm, this steam feels incredible!” “Would you sit still and stop squirming already?” “Is this where we’re supposed to meet?” “B-but I’m not ready to let everyone see me like this!” “Q-quit pushing me, will you?” “A public bathing area? In the nude?! Has this whole town gone mad?” “If I found someone spying on us, I’d be mortified!” “Hey, are you SPYING on us? Oh my gods, that is low!” “The water… So warm…” “So these are hot springs… They have their own beauty about them, hmm?” “Stop hiding in the damn steam and face me already!” “Try not to freeze the water solid with that glacial charm of yours.” “If I didn’t know better, I’d say your aura alone keeps the water aboil.” “A bag full of…what, some sort of powder? Rather pretty, really, with all the colors.” “We can have water fights and see who can hold their breath longer!” “Man, I didn’t even know stuff like this existed!” “Does something trouble you? Why are you gazing at the water?” “I’m not… It’s just… just the steam in my eyes, I swear!” “I have hoped for some time now to get this chance to speak with you.” “You have anything I could use to dry off?” “This moisture, this humidity, this slippery footing… I could train here.” “Something about being wrapped in this steam makes me want to hum a tune…” “They say these waters do wonders for the skin…” “Oh wow! Is this all one big bath? It’s huge!” “It was surely no easy task to build in a frontier like this one. But such endeavors bring people closer together. For that we must be thankful.” “Humans have sought their curative properties since time immemorial. But perhaps their greatest strength is their ability to bring people together…” “Those enduring lives of hardship need opportunities to heal their weary souls.” “Wow, that’s certainly…wet. You, uh…you had this on you when we were soaking in the springs, didn’t you?” “I’m not about to lower my guard entirely, but the occasional break is important.” “As one who strives for strength, being here is somewhat disheartening… A moment’s respite may be too long.” “You sit in the water for a while, and the minerals do stuff to your body.” “Let’s finish this quick so I can enjoy a soak with a full mug of mead!” “My blood simmers with a fervor far greater than ever before!” “Could it be? The Spitfire of the Springs? The Beauty of the Baths?” “I understand that people often come to places like this with their families…” “If you even dip a finger in my bathwater…you will lose that finger.” “I need to find a way to make this entire facility mine and mine alone. Hmm…” “You know, it’s not too late to soak in the water for a bit. What do you say?”
( Soleil: )
“Shigure!”
The mercenary bounds up to the blue-haired sky knight, grinning broadly. “Hey, Shigure!” Soleil’s panting, having been running around saying hello to as many people - specifically pretty girls - as possible.
“Isn’t this so exciting, Shigure? Look at all these smiling faces!”
||: “...Oh, Soleil.” Shigure finally pulled his head out of the piece of paper he had been looking at upon hearing his name. “Well, fancy meeting somebody I already know so quickly despite there being visitors from so many realms here.” But enough about that, he had been asked a question.
“I can hardly figure out where I should head first, there’s just that much to see and do!” He brandished the list in his hand. “And having a list of activities only makes deciding more difficult.” :||
@wickedthievery | Fall Scramble Starter
||: “...And just what, pray tell, are you doing skulking about outside the men’s bathhouse windows without a swimsuit on, Nina?” Said the young Sky Knight who was fully clothed himself. :||
@akanxia | Fall Scramble Starter
||: “My, there’s so much to do here that I’m not quite sure what to do first...” Shigure was mostly musing aloud to himself as he was looking at all the attractions. :||
@of-invisible-ties | Fall Scramble Starter
||: “...Why in the Dawn Dragon’s name do people think I’m some kind of peeping tom just because I don’t have a swimsuit?” Shigure was muttering things under his breath after that. :||
||: “...I don’t sing for bots...” :||
Would anybody be interested in a Fall Scramble starter from Shigure?
