In which Salome and Watari paint-by-number in the void and someone almost dies (sort of).
Watari: *doing something*
*all my characters are engaged in something except...*
Salome: ....*is there*
Watari: I thought you lived in the void.
Salome: In my free time, yes.
Watari: So, what are you doing here now?
Salome: ....*yes, what IS he doing?* ....
Salome: Paint-By-Number.
Watari: What?
Salome: ....Paint. By number. >_>
Salome: *shows Watari the picture of a Zexen stag with the orange segments completed*
Watari: Intriguing....
Salome: ......Very.
Watari: Who came up with such a thing?
Salome: I haven't the faintest idea, to be honest.
Watari: Hmmm....
Salome: Would you like to give it a try? I can find another canvas for you.
Watari: I have nothing better to do....
Salome: *Hands Watari a paint-by-number with a skunk picture*
Watari: Haha. *sets it up with the paints and begins*
Salome: *paints solemnly--he is the greatest company EVUR*
Watari: Tada...*turns it so Salome can see - HEAVEN FORBID IT LOOKS LIKE A REAL SKUNK and Watari has paint all over his hands*
Salome: .....My word, you certainly have talent.
Watari: *shrugs* The numbers helped.
LAC768: (THE GREATEST UNDERSTATEMENT OF THE YEAR, FOLKS.)
LAC768: (Since Watari doesn't NEED numbers to pwn.)
Salome: ...*paints*
Watari: *gets another and paints - a squirrel this time*
Salome: ...*has finished the Zexen stag and now painting a mountain goat*
Watari: *paint paint paint*
Carpet: God, you two are right darn dull!
Salome: *hears the carpet....takes extra care not to spill paint and wonders if Watari hears the carpet as well*
Watari: *hears it*
Carpet: Bloody, don't spill on me either or I will make it hell for you to clean it out!
Salome: *winces and continues painting teh mountain goat*
Carpet: Oi! Are you ignoring me?
Salome: T__T
Carpet: Well?
Salome: *coughs*
Watari: *looks to Salome* I know it's talking.
Carpet: And I know ninja boy doesn't talk. So you answer me! *whimp smack with the end of itself*
Salome: *is smacked by the carpet* >__O Ouch--yes, yes, I heard you!
Carpet: Then answer me next time.
Salome: -__-; My apologies.
Carpet: Arumph.
Salome: o__o
Carpet: What?
Salome: .....It is nothing. *resumes painting*
Carpet: What are you painting?
Salome: Mountain goats. By number.
Carpet: Hn, nasty buggers.
Salome: .... >_> You would know all about mountain goats, would you.
Carpet: At least what it's like to have a bloody heard of them sitting on ya.
Salome: ¬¬; Why, pray tell, was there a herd of mountain goats atop you?
Carpet: Cause some guy that herded them's barn got destroyed and they all had to stay in the house on top of me.
Salome: ......... That is ....quite the tale.
Salome: Luckily, for your sake, Budehuc appears to be devoid of mountain goats.
Carpet: I would hope. Smelled like 'em for a month afterwards.
Salome: *looks to Watari for some assistance, a "Help-me-there-is-a-carpet-talking-to-me-T_T" expression*
Watari: What? It's a talking carpet. *shrugs*
Salome: -___- Don't tell me this is not unnatural to you too.
Watari: What? I've seen plenty of objects talk that shouldn't under normal means.
Salome: ......
Salome: *cannot even fathom what sort of sentient objects other than Cage-san Watari has heard*
Watari: Don't ask. Some missions were weider than others.
Salome: ........I......see.
LAC768: (*SNERK* I wish I knew more about those fantastic and magical missions.)
Salome: *drips a teeny weeny spot of paint*
....*unknowingly* *OH NOES!*
Carpet: AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAARGH!
Salome: O_________O
Salome: Is it my boots?! Is it my boots again?! *hastily tries to take his boots off*
Carpet: no! Paint in my eye! Paint in my eye!
Salome: Try to stay calm! *taps his foot against the carpet* Does this hurt?
Carpet: no, but the paint! AAARGH!
Salome: o__o;;; Where? I--I can't help you if I don't know where it is! *casts Watari another "help me!" look*
Watari: *points to the tiny green spot at Salome's feet*
Salome: -__-;;;;; ....*dabs the paint with a wet cloth, but...*
*Oh noes! Acrylic paints dry fast! :<*
Carpet: I'm RUINED ~~~~ !!!
Salome: u___u;;;;;;; Yes, but, you were already stained to begin with--that is, I mean, well...it is a rather tiny spot, you see.
Carpet: *whip smack*
Salome: >___O
Carpet: *growls*
Salome: For goodness' sakes, it is a spot of paint.
Carpet: After all my years of torment you only add to it!!
Salome: It is a little spot! For all those years you speak of, you certainly should be wiser of such trivial matters.
Carpet: Can't a magic carpet have his PRIDE?
Salome: If it is not to the point of being foolhardy, of course.
Carpet: I am not being foolhardy!
Salome: You are behaving as a child would. Do try to control yourself.
LAC768: (omg, Sal's scolding a carpet. >__>;;; )
Carpet: *whip smack* Don't you tell me about being a child, boy.
Salome: >__O Stop harassing me!
What is it with my characters and moose and goats...? o_O
