*Decides he needs a spot of creative influence* *Takes a trip to Paris to view some impressionist masterpieces, but lands a bit early and ends up having drinks with Toulouse-Lautrec and Van Gogh* *Convinces Van Gogh he could be doing better things than mucking around with pointillism* *Lautrec loves

*is sitting on a bench* *raises an eyebrow at Six* Oh, look, your face matches your coat.

[snarky_six]

*raises a hand to his face, pulls it back* Ah. Pastels. *chuckles* Vincent has no sense of humor.

[saxonmaster]

*snorts* You do like name-dropping, don't you? Well, I suppose it impresses the humans.

[snarky_six]

*wipes his face off* Well, Vincent isn't very impressive once you've met him.

[saxonmaster]

Mm, I've never met him, actually. I've never been much of one for nineteenth-century artists.

[snarky_six]

Oh, what would you prefer? Renaissance? Post-post-modernist? *considers* I think I'll visit the cubists next. They have an interesting perspective on things. *grin*

[saxonmaster]

*nods* I like the Renaissance artists, but I tend to be a bit of a stuffy traditionalist where things like music and art are considered. Atonal music makes me cringe.

[snarky_six]

*sits down next to him on the bench* Atonal music is appreciated for the ways it stretches ideas about music, not for how it actually sounds.

[saxonmaster]

I liked Wagner quite a bit in my younger regenerations, you know - though his ideas get old rather quickly. Ravel's nice, though. There are a few from the twentieth century I like - mainly Russians.

[snarky_six]

Rachmaninoff, Taneyev, Stravinsky...Tchaikovsky gets tiresome after a while. *grin* Especially when you're in the same room with him. *leans back into the bench and surveys the park* *hums a few bars*

[saxonmaster]

There you are with the name-dropping again. *shakes his head* I was always fond of Shostakovich, personally.

[snarky_six]

I like meeting prominent figures from earth's history. A lot of them are really quite brilliant. Though, I think I'll avoid artists for awhile...

[saxonmaster]

I prefer the politicians and generals, personally. And, well, other figures who had an impact on history. *shrugs* And maybe the occasional author.

[snarky_six]

Politicians and generals. *rolls his eyes* That's very you.

[saxonmaster]

*smirks* Of course it is. The dictators tend to be pretty universally boring, though. Hitler? Completely dull.

((I have "Bolero" stuck in my head now. Stupid Master and his stupid drums.))

[snarky_six]

I've met enough dictators to know that they're basically the same in every galaxy. And they're usually fond of trying to have me killed, for some reason...

((Which, in turn, has me thinking of Man of La Mancha for some reason. Ha.))
