raphaelarider​:

Raphi stared through him as he spoke, only half listening as she wracked her brain for escape ideas. “I think it’s locked,” she said, chewing at her bottom lip. She looked down and noticed the fingernail imprints she’d just left on the back of her hand. “Someone will hear us.”

“Okay... yeah I guess, I mean people periodically walk nearby, right? So they should hear us eventually...” Jack muttered, trying to calm himself down as much as Raphi. “Okay,... Well what if we umm, take turns knocking on the door until someone hears it and we can talk about something that makes us happy? Like, to help with the waiting?” He suggested

[raphaelarider]

“Hey! Wait, no!” Raphi slammed her palms on the door, hoping someone would hear her. “This is bad. This is really bad.”

[jack-skellington]

Jack looked around a little frantically. He could tell Raphi was scared and he wanted to stay as calm as possible but this really reminded him of Briarcliff. He shuddered, walking closer to his friend. “I don’t understand, was this supposed to be some kind of joke? It’s mean.” He huffed out softly. “What are we supposed to do now? The only window is way to high to reach...”

“Is there anyone back there?”

[jack-skellington]

“Just me!” Jack called out happily, balancing the tray of freshly baked pumpkin cookies on both hands. “I was trying out a new recipe with pumpkin and ginger. Wanna try one?” He offered.

“That’s a shame. I think most guys must be afraid to be into art and all that.” Drew took a seat, smiling up at JAck. “I prefer hot, but since we’re sitting outside, I suppose that makes sense.” He leaned over the table, his chin resting atop his closed fists. “Am I strange or cool?”

“I don’t understand that, honestly. But I suppose I’m also biased, my love for art is unmeasurable. I really think at some point art quite literally saved my life.” Jack admitted with a smile. When he was lost in his own darkness and that surrounding him, his art had managed to pull him out of it. He gestured to order their drinks. “Both, obviously! Strange and peculiar are super cool, i think.”

kiaralyon​:

Kiara had been on her way home from an anticlimactic trip to the pier. She was used to these trips being far more exciting. Her head turned when she realized the man she had just passed was talking to her. “Hi! Sure you can pitch an idea to me,” she smiled, listening intently. This may be exactly what she needed to make her trip more exciting. “An art exposition? Sure, why not? What type of sketch is it? You’re not going to ‘paint me like one of your French girls’ right?” She asked, giggling at her own joke.

Jack chuckled, his ears turning a little red at the joke. “I promise not! No french girl paintings, I’m not that kind of Jack.” He replied, excited to have gotten the last yes he needed. Plus Kiara seemed to have such a relaxed and adventurous energy at the same time, working on her sketch would be the perfect challenge to close with. “So I’m working on this neat exposition called Faces of Costa... They’re kind of abstract sketches, because I take some liberties and try to capture some of your physical features but also your vibes. What do you think?”

gxllygadget​:

Gadget was seated on the pier and waiting for the sun to set when she heard a familiar voice. She turned to face him just in time to catch whoever he was asking that question turn him down. In hopes of making feel better, she walked towards him with a smile as big as his. “Hi! I would like to volunteer if that’s okay with you.”

“Gadget!!” Jack said excitedly, greeting the girl with a quick hug. “I would love that! I’d actually been meaning to text you about it.” He admitted. “I just thought I’d try my luck out here too. It hasn’t been so bad... Two people did say yes.” He told her happily. “Plus now it’s golden hour so you’ll look especially great.”

“Is it always this easy for you to get excited about something?”, Shenzi asked as she watched him do his little jump. It was adorable, she wasn’t going to deny that, which made it a little annoying for her. “You’re committed, I’ll give you that. Tell me what I need to do.”

“Only when it’s a super cool thing or a super cool new friend.” Jack replied casually, leaning back to get a better view of her face for a moment. “Just sit and talk to me for a while, I can buy you a drink or snack.” He explained happily. “And then I’ll try an capture your vibe into the sketch. Also, I will of course invite you to te opening so you can see how it turned out!”

miguel-dorante​:

“Really? I mean, yes!” Miguel was already grinning the second he heard his boyfriend’s voice, leaning casually on the fence as he tried his best to strike a pose in a mock sexy-abstract way. “I’m scared you’ll get tired of my face so, would this work?” He teased, pondering his options over. “Of course, if you want to do an action-packed scene…” Miguel stretched one of his legs over the flat fence, his feet dangling under him as he sat down. “I think I could make a decent jump for the water from here.” He added cheerily, patting the spot in front of him.

Jack stared at him, quickly pulling out his sketchbook and writing some notes on his movements. “Okay don’t hate me for this but I kind of already started yours.” He said, giving him a sheepish smile. “I have it back home, I’m sorry I didn’t ask. But the whole idea kind of started last month when I was sketching you back at the park, remember?” The blond explained. “And I was trying so hard to find a way to try and really capture a piece of you and your energy. And then I saw all these other guys milling about and thought it’d be cool to do that with more people.” Jack stood up to stare at the water. “I could try to do a quick sketch of that. But you’re sure it’s safe?” He asked his boyfriend with an excited look.

bubbly-ris​:

“Yeah, sure,” Arista turned when she heard the first question. But when she heard the idea, she started to shake her head gently. She chuckled. “I’m not really the model. I mean, if you really want to, I’m down for it but I’m not used to sitting still for long periods of time.”

Jack grinned. “Oh, don’t worry about that. I would need to be still for like 15 minutes and then you could move around if you’d like and we could talk an order a drink.” He said, pointing to the coffee shop menu. “It’s as much about capturing a person’s energy as it is about their general outward appearance.” He explained breezily. 

[jack-skellington]

boo-sullivan​:

Bella grinned as soon as she heard the question. “I get to be a muse? Your muse?” She squealed, her arm automatically looping with Jack’s– at this point in time, it was its second nature to do so. “Jack-Jack, do you think you’re prepared for the challenge that is to capture this hot dumpster fire of confetti that is your number one gal?” She teased him, unable to contain herself from participating in one of Jack’s amazing projects.

Jack chuckled, throwing his head back to look at her. “I’m pretty sure I can manage at this point, I think I’ve drawn you like a hundred times.” He commented happily. Bella would fit in perfectly with this collection. “And we can go get something to eat after, I’ve been standing around here trying to get people to let me draw them for hours.” He confessed with a grin.

matt-hawthorne​:

“Jack, for you I’d do one of those cast things where you cover my whole face in plaster and I have to breathe through nose straws.” Matt’s voice reflected his utter joy in encountering his best friend, excited to hear more about what he had to say. “Fill me in, man! What’s this new project about? After your last expo, mark my words, I will camp in front of the place so I can be the first one in.”

“OH we should do that for next Halloween and then you could be me and I could be you.” Jack commented happily. He’d basically already counted Matt in before asking, but it was still nice to see the other man so excited to help him out. Not that it surprised him. “I don’t think you need to do that, you can just come in with me. I usually get there an hour before the opening.” Jack replied with a chuckle, starting to outline Matt’s face with a piece of charcoal. “It’s a Faces of Costa thing I’m doing, it’s a little more... usual and positive than my normal stuff, but it’s exciting because I think it’s a great way to capture the different vibes around here.” 

[jack-skellington]

hxmmerhexd​:

Drew pointed a finger at his own chest. “Me?” he asked, glancing behind to make sure he wasn’t mistaken. “Sure, mate, I don’t see why not. What kind of exposition?”

“Cool! You have a very special face.” Jack said happily. “Quite unique, I love it. Plus, for some reason, it’s harder to get guys to model for me.” He smiled as he arranged things and pointed to a chair placed nearby in the coffee shop terrace. “Oh you can seat there and I’ve ordered some iced tea if you’d like some?” The young man smiled proudly. “It’s kind of a “Faces of Costa” thing I thought would be cool. I feel like there’s a lot of people here with such strange and cool vibes, they needed to be captured somehow.”

tinker-tessa​:

Tessa’s aura was exceptionally bright today. She felt it in the way she moved and coursing through her veins. It was the type of day that she just wanted to spread her wings and fly high above all the skies, forgetting about the world around her. She oped for walking around the pier instead and maybe ending it with one of her favorite smoothies. Her thumb had been about to press ‘play’ on her phone when she heard the sound of someone calling out to her. Curiosity was one of her major flaws, and strengthens, and it caused her to turn in the direction of the voice. “Uh, sure. Go ahead with your idea.” She responded, taking out her headphones as she walked over to the male. 

At his proposal, Tessa’s lips spread into an eager smile, “Would I let you? Hun, how do you want me to pose?” She lightly joked, chuckling a little. “I’d be very honored if you sketched me; just don’t sketch me with a big head a little body.” She teased, smiling still.

Jack smiled excitedly at her answer. He’d already gotten rejected by a couple of passerby, so he’d been a little hesitant to approach the blonde. Now he was he’d gone with his gut and done it. He giggled. “Oh, no. It is a kind of abstract sketch, but I can promise you it’s not a caricature.” He assured her. “I have everything set up in the coffee shop there.” He said, gesturing to a spot two stores down. “I’ll buy you a coffee or tea to nurse while I work.” 

[jack-skellington]

“I just need six more subjects.” Jack told his event manager on the phone. The gallery opening was in less than two weeks and he really needed to get all his art ready. “Okay, bye.” As he hung up, he looked up from his supply set up and smiled at one of the people walking by the pier. “Hello! Excuse me, I’m sorry, can I pitch an idea to you?” He asked with a big smile. “Would you let me sketch you for an art exposition?”

[jack-skellington]

“I will let you know when I come up with something.” As he went on about why he asked if he can draw her, she decided to agree to what he wanted. “Alright, you can include me. How many people do you need to do this with anyway?”

“Okay!” Jack replied, he instinctively trusted people and from what he’d seen had no reason not to believe she would come up with something fair. “Thank you so much!” He said, giving an excited little jump. “About twenty, I’ve done, like, fifteen now. So I’m close.” He explained.

[jack-skellington]

Shenzi needed a change of environment, that was why she spent her time studying in the cafe. It was working in her favor but shortly after the second hour of doing so, a group of loud teenagers decided to hang out there. It was not her place to tell them to leave so she packed up her things and left instead. Right before she could walk out, though, someone asked her to wait. Facing said boy now, she raised her eyebrow at him. “Okay?”, she responded because she was unsure why he told her that. “What’s in it for me?”

“Uh... What would you like?” Jack asked, not sure what he could offer her. “It’s for a gallery opening I have a couple of weeks from now, they’re rough sketches of different people I see around town and the energy I pick up from them.” He explained with a grin.

[jack-skellington]

“Excuse me!” Jack ran to catch up with the imposing young woman walking out of the café where he’d been sketching for almost an hour now, his arms full of notebooks and pencils. “Sorry, oh, thank Halloween I caught up with you.” He smiled sheepishly. “I’m Jack. Jack Skellington, I have some exhibits at the local museum... Erm.” Did that sound a little showoff-ish? Welp, too late. “I wanted to ask if I could possible sketch you?”​
