disingenuous | crow catchall

Quiet?

[ The bodes well, as she looks around. It certainly is more dramatic than the other ones she's seen.

And then there's the pounding on the walls. ]

I see what you mean. Even if it doesn't suit you, it could still tie in to the kind of person you portray.

What you see is what you get. Maybe I just like annoying neighbours. We just don't know.

Right.

[ She doesn't even keep a veneer over her doubt, as she keeps looking around. ]

It seems like it'd suit an artist.

[ hey, he's a good boy ]

You think?

... Maybe. Can't imagine any of the artsy types I know living here, but maybe it's the sort of style that would suit other kinds of artists.

[ a good vengeful boy ]

A certain type of artist. The types that are about passion. And can work through anything.

[ since there really is much more noise than she expected for an apartment. the ambiance..... wow. ]

[ he tries. ]

Passion, and too much decor.

[ a little of both. ]

Some can be cluttered. It can be part of their process.

[ who are they to say how an artist works when neither of them are one ]

[ crow might be an artist you don't know his life. ]

Whoever it was designed after had a nice taste in comfy sofas though, I'll give them that.

[ i know parts of his life because you, binch. ]

Our sofas are comfortable, too. At least we're not lacking in that even if some other things are left to be desired.

[ excuse me ]

Hm? I mean I get the impression none of the apartments are perfect, but now you’ve just got me curious.

I don't care for what it provides for entertainment.

[ reality tv.... hbo's ballers.... no thanks. ]

[ are you telling me roxana agreche is not a true fan of love is blind? dancing with the stars? love island?? shocking. ]

… I mean we have a record player that doesn’t have music, so that’s where we’re at. Can’t say entertainment’s come to mind much.

But you have art supplies. You can make your own entertainment.

Art supplies AND alcohol. Maybe we should host a tipsy painting night.

That could be a fun activity. I would try it.

[ It's not something she's ever done before, and painting isn't a skill she's invested time to learn, but... it sounds normal in a way that's nice, in a way that she hasn't had her entire life. ]

Hmm. Maybe we should then.

Bonding activites'll probably go down well with this group. Annnd for those who don't want to participate, attendance not required.

Entirely optional. Anyone who'd bring the spirit down is banned or given enough alcohol until they don't know any better.

...

You can say "Estinien", I won't tell.

[ don't yell at me i fell asleep earlier than i wanted to and just woke up ]

I wouldn't because he wouldn't come unless you forced or tricked him. He doesn't count.

[ looks at the time on this comment and looks at you. ]

I dunno, d'ya think Aymeric could persuade him? It'd be kinda funny to watch him get drunk and paint.

To some extent, Aymeric could, if only so he would not have to deal with his sincerity, but not for long. If Estinien rebuffs even Meteion....

[ You have to be a different kind of bully. ]

Does he? That's impressive, Meteion's like a little blue ball of sincerity.

[ estinien, the BABY ]

He might be coming around, but for now, I think it's easier to goad him than to kill him with kindness.

Kinda like baiting a bear into acting? [ if the bear was a leggy elezen ]

Exactly like that. It'd be easier, if his inclination weren't to run, but if you make it so he can't...

[ What can he do? ]
