Not really... It was fine over the weekend, but today it's...

[ shrug. ]

Probs just gotta keep at it. It'll come back to me in no time!

[furrier]

Have you brought it up with one of those four?

[dms]

Huh? No, why would I? It's not their problem.

[furrier]

Aren't they meant to guide us?

[dms]

Yeah, I guess... but it'll be pretty embarrassing to bring it up to them if it's really just an off day.

[furrier]

[ shrugs ]

Show me.

[dms]

Uh... Okay. I'm not really used to people watching me draw, though.

[ but that's. fine? hm. once he finds a new page, and puts pen to paper... it actually starts out okay! looks like he's drawing a couple of cats, but about halfway through, his lines start to go off-kilter. something about their faces are off, and their bodies look more like a kindergarten drawing than a professional, with no sense to the lines.

kazunari, always smiling, actually looks a little frustrated. ]

...It's been like this all day. Sometimes I can draw, sometimes I just... can't. I don't know why.

[furrier]

[ Looks at it.

It's... ] Cute.

[ In a pathetic kind of way. ]

[dms]

[ ok first of all he didn't think garou could or would find anything cute in this entire world

second... uuuuuuuuuuuugh. ]

Thanks, I guess? [ haha... ] I'm usually a lot better at it than this, though. I don't know what's going on... but maybe I'm just developing a new talent for the avant garde?

[furrier]

It could be that being forcibly taken to a new world with no clue of how to return to your former life has affected your abilities.

[ trauma art? ]

[dms]

[ wrinkles his nose. ]

...Maybe. Tons of peeps say that different experiences change your art, but, like... usually for the better, I think? Not whatever this is.

[furrier]

[ he's reaching his limit of being normal ]

I'm not an artist. You should search for inspiration or some shit.

[dms]

You ever tried?

[ doubtful, but he's curious! ]

That's the plan! It won't change a ton if my skills aren't up to snuff, but it's worth a shot.

[furrier]

[ he briefly contemplates saying something edgey like "the only painting i do is with the blood of my enemies."

damn, that's a sick line. ]

I haven't done art since grade school. Is it your profession or something?

[dms]

Sure is! I've been studying art for years! That's why this is so weird, you know? I'm literally a pro.

[furrier]

[ looks at his drawing

sure... you're a pro ]

I thought that was for acting.

[dms]

I do both, but art came first. Art was always my number one goal since I started drawing. If I hadn't been invited to audition at Mankai last year, I probably wouldn't have started acting at all.

[furrier]

[ he's learning so much... ]

You're really not well suited for the dangers of this place.

[dms]

[ checks the date on this pc and laughs ]

You mean what happened at the party yesterday? It sounded like that was a fluke, though, so it should be fine.

[furrier]

And the clowns. And slime monsters.

[ goop... ]

[dms]

The clowns aren't so bad if you're nice to them, though? They gave me a balloon hat!

And we just have to use color for the slime monsters, so as long as nobody gets stuck inside one and sets it on fire again, we'll be fine!

[ yay for relentless optimism! ]

[furrier]

[ snorts ]

Really. Well, lucky you that your only problem is art block.

[dms]

Mm... I know it's a small thing to everyone else, but it is still my main thing, so...

[ feels bad, man! ]

I guess it's like if you couldn't fight?
