[Hello, Luceti. If you happen to glance at your journal this fine evening, you might catch a single streak of what looks like dark mud splash across the page -]

[She's tried to imitate the drawing and then... got a little distracted and started adding on to it.]

Don't stop! I'm sure it was going to be something amazing!

[ooc; I FORGOT TO MENTION THE FIRST TIME 8D; I'll assume this is later on after he gets what journals are for, so he can respond properly!]

Aw, that? It was just a little test! Here, lemme sketch up something better for ya!

[Issun quickly flips the page and begins drawing again, the ink appearing across the page in rapid lines. When he's finished, the illustration comes out to this:]

[She's just started drawing when the reply comes, so she stops mid-stroke. The sound is on, so it's easy to hear her pleased exclamation.]

Oh! That's so pretty! You really are amazing at this!

[ooc: No problem!]

[written/voice] celestialbug May 19 2011, 07:45:40 UTC

Aw, shucks...it's just part of the job. I'm - [He pauses mid-sentence, finally noticing the extra doodling she's added onto his original lines.] Hm? Whatcha got there, babe?

[voice] byebyehalcyon May 19 2011, 15:43:09 UTC

You get to draw for your job? That must be so fun!

Oh! I was just playing! I thought I'd turn it into a princess! Or maybe just a silly face. Eh heh!

[voice] celestialbug May 20 2011, 06:55:42 UTC

[Actually, up until about nine months ago, Issun hated painting. Kinda funny how life works, huh?]

A princess, eh? Not half bad! [He grins.] As for me, I get to draw a goddess. Ever heard of the great Amaterasu?

[voice] byebyehalcyon May 20 2011, 07:02:23 UTC

[He seems like a nice person and his enthusiasm is infectious. She finds herself smiling right along.]

Mm! You think it's okay? I haven't doodled for a while, but now that we have all this time, maybe I should take it up!

Ah! Yes! I learned about Amaterasu-sama in school! The Sun Goddess, isn't that right?

[voice] celestialbug May 20 2011, 07:17:08 UTC

The one and only! [Actually, hearing someone refer to Ammy with that sort of respect is a bit exciting for Issun. The people in his world lose faith so quickly...] See, it's my job to preach about her through pictures so people won't forget about her. After all, if people don't believe, then she and the other gods will get weaker.

[voice] byebyehalcyon May 20 2011, 07:21:20 UTC

I definitely won't forget then! But I would love to see more of your pictures! That's such a good idea!

Oh-! I'm sorry, I didn't even ask your name! I'm Inoue Orihime!

[voice] celestialbug May 20 2011, 07:34:14 UTC

Glad to hear it, sweetie! The name's Issun! [He grins again, grabbing the rim of his beetle-shaped hat.] And by the way, that little sketch I drew ya earlier is all yours. It's Luceti's first picture of Ammy drawn by the great Issun, so don't go losin' it!

[voice] byebyehalcyon May 20 2011, 07:44:32 UTC

Ah-! Did your parents name you after stories too? Like Issun-boshi! That was one of my favorites! Oh- Ah- I'm sorry! You must get that a lot. I didn't mean to be rude! I was named after some old stories too. Do you know the legend of Tanabata?

[There's a tearing sound as she carefully pulls the page from her journal.]

I'll treasure it! Maybe when I meet you in person, you can autograph it for me Issun-san!

[voice] celestialbug May 22 2011, 05:54:15 UTC

Heh heh...how can I say no to a face like that? I'll sign it anytime you ask!

[His smile fades a bit then, trading off for a more thoughtful look.] Tanabata...that's the story about those star-crossed lovers, ain't it? Hikoboshi and Orihime? [Give him a second...and...] Say, don't tell me that's where you got your name?

Re: [voice] byebyehalcyon May 23 2011, 17:15:58 UTC

I'm glad! I'll keep it really safe til then!

Mmhmm! That's the one! It's kind of a sad story, but I guess... they don't always have happy endings.

[voice] celestialbug May 26 2011, 21:31:35 UTC

Aw, it ain't that bad! They get to see each other once a year, right? [He starts bouncing up and down, though that probably doesn't translate over the journals.] Besides, haven't ya ever heard what they say about absence makin' the heart grow fonder?

[voice] Gah, sorry so late! Fail mun has been fail-tasticly busy /)_(\ byebyehalcyon June 7 2011, 04:04:30 UTC

Mm! You're right! They must have been so happy for that day each year! Like waiting for New Years! Or Golden Week!
