I love the way you call it art

Characters: OU Aradia and OPEN
Setting: Art Gallery floor
Format: Starts in action, but will follow either
Summary: Aradia's taking in a little of the tower's version of culture
Warnings: Grim art? But otherwise not much yet.

[Up until now, Aradia hasn't really spent much time perusing the art gallery that appeared when the tower grew a few floors. Today she's decided to rectify that.

And so she wanders aimlessly about the floor, looking at the various artworks on display and lingering in front of those that catch her eye. Probably one of the more morbid ones, but she seems far more fascinated than she does horrified.

Pester her?]

Comments

[verymuchalive]

Oh I'm in no position to recommend. But I just think we should form opinions of them as we get to know them. Assumptions tend to get messy.

[mamadonna]

While this is, perhaps, undoubtedly true, our approach to various situations can remain informed by our previous experiences, despite our inclinations that it should be otherwise.

[verymuchalive]

I think informed assumptions are a little different. Personal experience will always colour our opinions and even then we can be proved wrong. As long as we're open to that.

[mamadonna]

You display an admirable amount of insight for one of your age, Aradia. [ She hazards a guess in her head, six sweeps? Seven? ] I shall have to remain mindful of your words in my continued interactions in this place.

[verymuchalive]

[Aradia blushes and glances down a little]

I'm not sure I'd go that far. I just like to keep an open mind about these things.

[mamadonna]

[ Dolorosa bends down to more comfortable place a hand on her shoulder. It's hard being so tall sometimes. ]

Well, then it appears you have chosen not only a most agreeable path, but have displayed already some progress in walking it.

[verymuchalive]

[Aradia looks up and smiles]

Thank you.

[And then, as her smile widens]

I think the Signless was very lucky to have had you to take care of him.

[mamadonna]

[ She touches her hands too her heart with a smile. ]

Why, for such a delightful sentiment, I believe the gratitude should be mine to express!

I really should hope you have opportunity to meet him. I'm often encouraging him to approach the little ones as he would others.

[verymuchalive]

I'll be sure to keep an eye out for him. He sounds like an interesting troll to talk to.

[mamadonna]

It is a trait the two of you can share in mutually.

[verymuchalive]

[Wow, Dolorosa, do you want her to be permanently red because it's a serious risk here]

I suppose we'll soon find out.

[mamadonna]

That may be an exchange I'd like to bear witness to.

[verymuchalive]

Perhaps you could introduce us?

[That seems a fair way of getting what they both want]

[mamadonna]

That would be a splendid idea! We shall have to accomplish it on the soonest possible occasion.

[verymuchalive]

Whenever's convenient for you, and for him. There's nothing I'm doing here that can't be put on hold.

[mamadonna]

I will be certain to inform you when such an event is coordinated. Where is it that I'd be most likely to locate you?

[verymuchalive]

Usually the top floor or the fourth floor, you know the one with all the windows? Unless I'm watching movies, then I'm on that floor. But I can come look for you if that's easier.

[mamadonna]

I'm certain we'll find some method by which to coordinate it. Though I reside in the respiteblock designated 1-01, personally, though I spend much of my time in the crafting area, more recently.

[verymuchalive]

I'm sure we will...perhaps I should have mentioned that, my respiteblock is 2-03. Not that I spend much time in there.

[mamadonna]

A fair decision, I find. There's certainly much for one to become acquainted with present in this Tower, or to busy oneself with. Remaining there for too long a time would be such a waste!

[verymuchalive]

Exactly! Not to mention it would get dull pretty quickly. At least, it would for me.

[mamadonna]

I certainly agree, one must keep herself occupied.

[verymuchalive]

I think the tower must agree too, with how much is here.

[mamadonna]

Oh, the structure doesn't carry its own personal sentience, does it?

[verymuchalive]

I don't think so? But then I've not seen a whole lot of the ones who are supposed to be in charge so who knows?
