22th Death

[twisted_baroque]

[if anyone is in a random park today, they might spot a homeless person (who may look familiar to a few of you) sitting on a bench and who's also getting a few weird looks from passersby.

coming closer reveals that Dextera seems to have set up a bit of a painting area for himself, but he's not exactly painting the scenery. two finished paintings

[saccharosium]

[Stocking is on her way home from her job, finishing up a pastry as her other hand holds several bags full of boxes. All of the sweets, she has them. She is also feeling generous enough to bring them back to share with her "family" tonight.

As she nears the bench, she dusts her hand off and squints. That guy looks familiar...

Wait a second.]

Dextera?

[twisted_baroque]

[Dextera looks up when Stocking calls his name and waves a little bit. hello there.]

[saccharosium]

[She waves back, looking at the two completed pieces before speaking up again.]

Did the castle dump you out here?

[twisted_baroque]

[he tugs out the journal.]

I think so, but it isn't so bad.

[saccharosium]

Have you eaten anything?

[twisted_baroque]

[he's about to lie when his stomach decides to be honest and lets out a loud growl.]

...No.

[saccharosium]

[She would have called him out on that lie so fast.

Stocking sets down her bags and digs out a box, opening it up and offering it to Dextera. It's filled with various sandwiches, ranging from turkey to chicken to roast beef.]

Eat.

[twisted_baroque]

[he fidigts a little, realizing that he probably couldn't say no to the offer and takes a sandwich.]

Thank you.

[saccharosium]

[She sits down on the bench - after making sure no paints or brushes were in the spot, of course - and digs out a bottle of water and soda.]

Soda, or water?

[twisted_baroque]

[well since he's never tried it before...]

Soda, If that's okay.

[saccharosium]

Then soda it is. [She sets the bottle by him and downs some of the water bottle. Then she looks at the box and picks up a sandwich, munching on it as she looks as the paintings.]

Did you do these while in this world change?

[twisted_baroque]

[it takes him a minute before he figures out how to open the bottle and another one before he answers the question.]

Yes. Someone told me selling things would give you money, but I don't know why it isn't working. [no, Dextera hasn't realized it's because the pictures are creepy.]

[saccharosium]

[listens to what he says before looking at them once more]

Well, people like boring landscapes and anonymous persons...

[twisted_baroque]

[tilts his head.]

So this is no good?

[saccharosium]

Only certain people will like this type of art. Most people are afraid to step out of the box.

[twisted_baroque]

[he looks around at the people for some reason.]

But I don't think they're in boxes.

[guess who doesn't know about figures of speech?]
