Has a nice ring to it. Dreamer of all things whimsical.

It's a hard job, but I'm willing to take one for the team here.

[splintercells]

Good to know. Some of us aren't so good at dreaming.

What kinda art? I don't know much about it but I like looking at it.

[thenormalsquint]

That's why I'm here, to be the one to remind you to practice. Or do it for you in exchange for the good stuff.

Mostly paints--oils, watercolors, acrylics--though I also use charcoal. I dabble in metalworking, clay, and digital as well.

[splintercells]

Everyone here's gotta have some kind of dream though right? Something they wanna make better, if they believe this place can do it.

That's a lot. Guess you don't have anything here, huh?

[thenormalsquint]

Of course. The problem for some people lies in making it happen. Fear sets in, turns into hesitation, then it becomes impossible. Though on second thought, I would like to think people here aren't that afraid if they managed to get here in the first place.

As far as pieces? No. I just got here. I managed to grab some supplies before I left, but I haven't had a chance to sit down and work on anything.

[splintercells]

They can't do everything here. But it's a good start, yeah.

I wouldn't mind seeing something when you do. I won't touch it, don't worry.

[thenormalsquint]

Well, true. This place probably can't help me redo some mistakes in my past, but what it can do for me is definitely better than nothing.

I could do something right now. I have a pen and some paper with me. Any requests?

[splintercells]

Better than nothing. I gotta agree with that.

Now you put me on the spot. How about a beach? Palm trees, smooth sand. Like Florida.

[thenormalsquint]

One beach scene coming right up.

[thenormalsquint]

I took some artistic liberty with the boat.


[ooc: pretend i am super awesome at actually drawing and not just googling irl.]

[splintercells]

That's perfect. Just how I pictured it.

That's one of my dreams, I guess. Seeing the Florida Keys.

[thenormalsquint]

What's stopping you from going?

[splintercells]

Maybe nothing when I get back. Who knows what it'll be like then. Didn't have any way to travel while I was there, and there wasn't really anywhere worth going.

[thenormalsquint]

As far as I know, the Florida Keys aren't going anywhere anytime soon. There's still time. Just don't take too much time. Life is for the living, not the waiting.

Besides, the longer you wait, the more crowded it gets with cranky retirees.

[splintercells]

This isn't fair. There's so much funny about what you just said but it'd take so much explaining.

I get what you mean, though. I'll give it a try when I get back.

[thenormalsquint]

You can't say that and leave me hanging. Where's the joke?

[splintercells]

I'm a time traveler. I was - it's complicated, but I ended up going back in time to try and stop a virus that killed all but 2 percent of humanity from being made and spread.

Get it?

[thenormalsquint]

...What? You're a what? I just want to make sure I'm reading what I'm seeing here correctly.

[splintercells]

Time traveler. It's particle physics. Break down the body into its smallest parts and reconstitute it in another time and place. I dunno the hard science but it is science.

[thenormalsquint]

Uh huh. Right. So how many sci-fi movies have you watched today to come up with that line?

[splintercells]

I don't use lines. You're gonna hear weirder here, so this isn't a bad place to start, considering I'm human and from Earth.

[thenormalsquint]

You want me to believe you're a time traveler. A time traveler who stops the world from being killed off.

Okay. Sure, whatever. Let's just roll with that. For the sake of my sanity, let's just say I believe you.

[splintercells]

You can believe what you want, but it'd make it easier to keep talking.

[thenormalsquint]

And since I have nothing else to do right now but talk, we'll just move along. Maybe draw you something else?
