SHSL Painter

#IT'S OKAY I TAKE LONG TOO

Mhm, w-whoever's behind this all is at fault for that, too... I mean, they are the one who planned this all, for some reason. Why would anyone do that, tho? I mean, what's the point...

P-painting usually helps me relax, and stay calm... but, with my hands shaking, nothing I do seems good enough, and I end up a bit more frustrated. I-it's nothing important, I should just wait for it to be over, maybe get some rest...

Trusting everyone… I… I want to trust everyone too, but… you see… It’s hard, because I really wanted to trust Kimiko as well… and… she’s either telling us that there’s a mastermind and hiding it, or… lying to us to mess with our heads, and… there might be more people like that here, so… it’s hard to believe you can really trust everyone. Though… in the same way, I do want to trust everyone too… to trust them so much that they’re not going to do something like that, but..

I-I figured it's not gonna be easy, I mean, Kimiko seemed pretty nice all around, and at the trial... well, you were there. And th-that detail is still pretty worrying, since we have no clue if it's real or not, and what to think of it. A-as you said, maybe someone else is... like that, too. I guess it's a... different kind of trust I want to feel? I don't know... I should stop worrying about it so much, not being able to paint anything is pretty bad for me.

Yeah… I guess so.

I don’t know… Kimiko might’ve just wanted to mess with our heads… maybe to make us feel this way since we.. did.. vote her as the murderer… I… if we start thinking one of us is the mastermind, we’ll be more prone to get killed, because we’ll be more anxious… I’d… rather think the mastermind, if there is one, isn’t one of us..

G-glad to hear you think so.

Yeah, it could be. S-she seemed to be trying to make us believe it, but... I-I don't know, I guess it's best to think it's someone outside, that's just watching us, if there is a mastermind at all. I mean, I want to trust everyone here still, even after what's happened... I-I really do.

Suzy… oh, right. I… forgot that was my nickname..

In all honesty, I… I don’t either. I’m not going to say I’m scared… I’m more… anxious than anything. If we’re to believe Kimiko… it means there’s a mastermind, and… that… she kept it from us… I… what does “mastermind” even mean…? Like… the person to force us to kill eachother…?

Y-yeah, it is. I still think it's pretty cute, and it fits you.

A mastermind... would mean someone is behind this all, other than Quincy, yeah... b-but, who could that be? Someone in here? Someone watching? Maybe it was just Kimiko trying to confuse us even more, but... for some reason, I don't think that's the case. Ugh....

Hands keep trembling…? Does.. that mean you’re scared of what’s coming next…?

#dots would have been better tbh BUT HERE YOU GO

A-ah, hi, Suzy... well, a bit. I've been trying to paint, to try and relax or think of something else, but it's not working. I just... don't now what to expect now, after what happened last time.

Agh, my hand keeps trembling... this won't do. This is awful...

hirokas replied to your post:LETS RP

YOU MY LAST STARTER WAS LITERALLY DOTS YOUVE SEEN MY SHIT STARTERS IN ACTION

are you ready for some more dots because that's what you're getting

#outofpaint #JK I'LL GET SOMETHING READY IN A MINUTE JUST NEED TO FINISH DINNER

LETS RP

1v1 me, who starts it?

Yeah. Come down to the library with me sometime and we can find some good reads. They have a nice selection.

But, thank you. However, I didn’t really bring anything to do that once….bringing chainsaws to school is well against the rules, sadly.

And me too. We are truly, dearly best friends, funny how I just remembered her.

#i actually gotta go #night!#hooray new friend

T-that sounds perfect, I'll keep it in mind, thanks. Probably next time, since I'll probably need to get some sleep soon, feeling a bit tired.

... Miss Quincy mentioned we can ask for some supplies, just like the gold from last case, right? Do you think we could ask her for whatever you need for that trick? T-the chainsaws would be used only under her supervision, and she can take them away afterwards.

I probably have someone like that too... I mean, I hope. It's odd how we seem to have forgotten about most people. A-anyway, talk to you tomorrow. This was pretty nice, so let's repeat it, okay? [ made a little bow before heading to his room ]

You’re welcome. I know good art when I see it, and you do earn your title well. Maybe I could help you get some inspiration, so.

Well, I might die before I can master the elemental arts, but it gives me something to do. There’s also dark magic, like Necromancers and stuff, but that is way too dangerous! Even for me, who cuts people in half on a daily basis….or once did, yeah.

…….It does, yeah. And he did indeed. Well, I remember, she was my best friend, in the whole world really. Sadly, people wanted us to be lovers, even though she….never ever felt anything towards romantics. So I never pushed her. There are other things, but i cannot remember.

A-again, thank you. It's really nice to hear people say that. Makes me feel... proud about my work. A-and that'd be great! Just talking like this helps. Takes my mind off... well, you know. Hence why I'm going to try some books too.

Oh, I've read about that in some books, no idea how reliable they are, but it does seem like risky stuff. I-I hope you can find whatever it is you need to learn that, it seems pretty interesting. And I'd love to watch that trick live! S-saw it a few times on TV, and it looked amazing!

Sounds like she was pretty cool. H-hope you two can get in touch once all of this is over. Friends like those should stay together, r-right? Not remembering sucks... I feel I'm missing out on a lot of important stuff that should be there.

Me neither, honestly.

Oh. That looks very nice. You are truly the skilled painter. We could look at them for a bit later, yes.

Well, magic can mean a lot of things. The kind my “SHSL” is about is one kind. The kind he talks about would better fit a Mage or a Witch or something. I’ve been trying to expand my talent, yes.

And, ah, I would love to show a few to everybody.

The first one I mentioned was one on a girl who gets stuck in a school, forced to live a life of working for some kind of supervisor. The second, well, is about a man named Ghost Giff. Kind of a odd name, no?

#fearless is not real then? wow that sucks #:^)

Y-you think so? T-thanks! I'm a bit rusty, I think. Been a while since I've found something inspiring, so I don't think I'm in top form. Some reference books in the art room, and the internet have helped a bit tho, so that's good. And s-sure, whenever you want to, let me know.

Ah, that makes sense. T-they seem pretty different, so I guess it makes sense for different occupations to take care of them separately, b-but broadening your horizons is always admirable. And whenever it's possible, let me know so I can be present.

That sounds... a bit familiar, huh? A-and oh, I bet he did some interesting stuff to have a book dedicated to him like that. Yeah, I never heard anything like that. And oh, you mentioned your... assistant? What do you remember about them? My mind's still kinda foggy about some people I knew too...

ghost.gif, the painting, electric boogaloo

#it looks like shit

Yes, I suppose. Funny how attached we’ve all gotten. First, we’re just schoolmates. And now…..whatever the fuck we are.

Do you think….I could see one of your paintings? Or a few. I find art quite interesting, and yours must be very good, considering that you are “SHSL Painter.”

Books, ah- I’ve been trying to study on other types of magic. Not just stage acts. They’re fun, though, and I dearly miss performing. I miss my assistant friend, even though there are a few things I can’t remember about her….I hope shes alright. Anyways, we could stop by the library and see what is best for you. However I’ve been enjoying books such as “Fearless” and “The Biography of Ghost Giff”.

#i was gonna paint ghost gif but my filter made it look like shit ;_;

I-is there even an appropiate word to describe what we all are right now? I don't think so, hah...

H-huh? Sure, I should have some around... j-just a moment. [ reaches inside his clothes to pull out his drawing pad, going through the pages before showing one of them to xem ]

I-it's nothing too impressive, just a landscape... b-but this is hardly the best place to be inspired at. I-I have some portraits, too, if you want to see one of those.

Oh, magic like the one Muga keeps mentioning, o-or do you mean something else? But I'd love to see one of your acts sometime! T-they seem pretty impressive. That'd be nice, I usually enjoy fantasy, or science fiction. Mystery is really fun too. W-what are those two about? I could check them out.

Well, its nice to see you’re trying to work on it. We’re all….doing pretty awful, aren’t we. At least some of us are still alive….So there’s always people to talk to. Like right now. Yes. Talking. What fun. Seriously.

…Anyways, what have you been doing? I’ve been sleeping and still reading books in the library. They have such a nice selection….of books.

I-it's not like we have much choice, right? But at least we can still just spend some time like this. It's... k-kinda nice. Yeah, it'd be pretty bad otherwise. It's something so simple, but it's just good to have that option.

Well, with the art room open, I've been practicing on my paintings. B-been trying different colors and styles, nothing too fancy. And, uh, I've been trying to... investigate what happened. Oh, books? M-maybe you could give me some recommendations, I've been looking for some reading material.

Well, I guess we can just talk about….things. I haven’t heard much from you, honestly. And seeing how we’re dropping like flies, I….I want to at least know everybody somewhat.

R-right, right! That's a good idea... Well, I'm... not fine, but I'm working on that. There's still a bunch left to do here, so I can't g-give up on everything just yet. How have you been? I-I don't think we've ever talked more than a bit, so we should fix that.

Hey, Takumi. We haven’t talked much. Can we?
