I don’t really plan on…

[michaeltheshaw]

I doubt they’re bad. Maybe I can see them sometime. Girls smell like flowers to me, it must be in your genes or something. A flower chromosome.

[alicedarlingx-deactivated201410]

Nahh… they’ll probably be creeped out if they notice that I’m drawing them without their permission. By showering ourselves with gallons of perfume? Just kidding. I-I rarely wear perfume.

[michaeltheshaw]

Maybe they do figure out, then maybe you can ask if they want to keep it when you’re done. You get practice and some money off of them. I don’t know, girls just smell like flowers. Hey that’s probably how flower girls at weddings became a thing.

[alicedarlingx-deactivated201410]

There’s that too. People tend to move quite a lot especially when they don’t realize that someone is trying to sketch them. I-I don’t get close enough to actually know if they stink.

[michaeltheshaw]

Maybe you should get closer to people. Most people smell good and some people smell really, really good. Girls smell so good I don’t know how you do it.

[alicedarlingx-deactivated201410]

Whatever it takes just to make myself improve. M-most of the times, yes but more of landscapes and buildings than people. It’s very difficult to capture someone the way you want it to be.

[michaeltheshaw]

True…That’s really smart. And sometimes people can get up in the middle of your drawing and never come back. Or maybe the person you started drawing really smells and then you realize you don’t want something to remember them by.

[alicedarlingx-deactivated201410]

Butterfly nets have h-holes though so the dust you were collecting might get away.

Oh! I-I almost believed you for a second. Yeah but I’m still working on it. No talent here, really. Just pure perseverance.

[michaeltheshaw]

But if that's what it takes, right? What do you draw, just whatever you observe? So like, people and stuff?

[alicedarlingx-deactivated201410]

Collecting dust? Y-you’re kidding, right? I love sketching but they’re no good.

[michaeltheshaw]

Collecting dust is great. I don't do it like everyone else though, I just walk around and snatch it up in a butterfly net.

Of course I'm kidding. You draw? I bet it's not all that bad. Just starting that stuff takes some talent.

[alicedarlingx-deactivated201410]

Nothing… I-I was just standing there, zoned out or something. I’m Kennedy.

[michaeltheshaw]

I do that all the time. That and collecting dust are some of my favorite hobbies. What else do you do?

I fell in love with the girl at the rock show

[fucklepuffs]

Really? You think I’m infatuated with it?

[michaeltheshaw]

Something along those lines. You ask for my thoughts, I give you my thoughts.

[alicedarlingx-deactivated201410]

Uh… hi… hey —I mean, yeah.

[michaeltheshaw]

Well I haven't introduced myself, so I'm Michael. What exactly were you trying to do there?

[ethangtfo-deactivated20140607]

I don’t think I’d be able to do it, even if I tried.

[michaeltheshaw]

I didn't know it was that serious. Did something with them happen in your childhood? Do you have PTSD?

[maraxholland]

What I was getting at is that they are all make believe, not real. They are all some myth that people made up in order to bring joy. - And now I realize that I could have just ruined 'creepy' Santa for you.

[michaeltheshaw]

People have made up everything, are you kidding, there are so many theories of that kind of stuff I can't even get into it. Christmas is ruined. It's all your fault. You're helping me plug my chimney this December.

[fucklepuffs]

What do you think that I think?

[michaeltheshaw]

I think you think I'm a loser. I think you're infatuated with it.

[alicedarlingx-deactivated201410]

Y-you see me?

[michaeltheshaw]

Yeah... I've seen you a couple times before, haven't I?

[sicnnabackup]

Maybe its best if they left them on the shelf. I mean, you seem kind of unsure about it, and its a thin line between love and hate. So, what if tomorrow you decide you do love them? And then of course you can’t exactly go buy any because they no longer sell them.

[michaeltheshaw]

Then... I'll eat Triscuits and cry and say I should've listened to Claire. I always should listen to Claire. Yeah. That sounds good.

[fucklepuffs]

I never said anything about you being weird or stupid.

[michaeltheshaw]

It was heavily implied. Or maybe not. Maybe you think I'm the smartest guy around.
