Day 44: Arts and Crafts Room, Second Shift

Sep 24, 2009 16:08

Astor hadn't talked much after introducing himself, which hadn't bothered Terry. With all the crap their little hospital of horrors piled on the patients, he couldn't blame a guy for not wanting to open up to some stranger. Plus, not talking meant he could get a decent meal in, and then check out the bulletin for the latest in Landel's news and ( Read more... )

Arts and Crafts was actually a welcome diversion. Sai had plenty to think over, and painting was a nice mindless task. Nevermind that the supplies offered were sub-par at best.

He had an aimless look about him as he was led in to find a seat. Rather than sit alone, as he knew he had a look about him at the moment that would prompt others to pry, he sat down across from someone who already looked discontent.

"Do you not like art?" he asked Terry, getting himself a clean sheet of paper and a black marker.

Terry had noticed the kid coming over, thinking that it was pretty sad how pale some people got just as the guy sat down. He definitely had a night life, but even Terry managed to get out in the sun every now and then. This guy looked like he'd spontaneously combust if he set foot outside.

But complexion aside, Terry welcomed the conversation. It was either that, or stare at glitter for however long the torture lasted. "Art? I don't mind it. But you can't tell me this counts as art." Waving a hand over his evidence, Terry let out a sigh. "It's almost as bad as Family Studies. Almost. Either way, I think I'd rather be playing a vid game or something."

Whoever this guy was, he seemed more comfortable with the supplies than Terry was. "What about you?" Terry nodded his head just enough to indicate what the guy was holding. "You're one of the few people who've walked in without looking horrified. Are you an artist?"

It might be worse if the guy was. What self-respecting artist wanted to use this junk?

"A vid game?" Sai's hand was already moving, quickly creating a design of a very lion-like animal on the paper. It was done within seconds, and the ninja then stared for a while at the image as though he expected it to leap from the paper. There was very little chance of that, seeing as he couldn't summon the slightest bit of chakra during the day.

"I'm something of an artist, I suppose." The paper was set aside and a new one pulled in front of him. That one he didn't get started on immediately. "The materials don't really matter when you're just doing something to keep your hands from being idle." And that's all this was. It wasn't even usual for him to use art as a means of taking time to ponder things. It was strange. "I don't usually sell my art in any case."

Right. Not everyone was from the age of electronics. Terry didn't exactly relish the idea of trying to explain it, since he didn't know of this guy even had a clue about what a tv was. But he'd brought it up, and it wasn't really fair to leave the guy confused. "It's just games you play on a screen. Uh. Kind of like moving pictures." Which would make Terry sound like a complete twip if the guy knew what a tv was after all, but he didn't want to assume.

Luckily, a distraction was quick to appear, and at the pale kid's hands no less. "Woah. You always draw that fast?" Terry might not have been so impressed, except what the guy had drawn was actually really good. Seemed like the sort of thing Dana's dad might like. "You might want to rethink marketing them. If nothing else, you'd be able to get orders out quickly."

The remark about materials made sense, but Terry still wasn't going to open up the glitter. He'd feel a little self-conscious even doodling around a guy this good. "Name's Alex, by the way. Nice to meet you."

"Oh, a video game. I should have guessed, but I've never played any." That was the sort of thing left to civilians, those who didn't spend most of their time on missions. ...At least in Root. There were likely plenty of ninja who spent some of their free time on games like those. Sai really only knew about them by name and basic design ( ... )
