Art Therapy! Friday, P2 [Week 1]

[flashesforinfo]

Friday morning, there was coffee and cookies supplied. Don’t get too used to that, kids. The enthusiasm would probably wear off just a little as the term went on. The desks were arranged in a circle and on each one students would find an A5 sketchpadAngela would be found sitting on one of the desks, facing them all. "So welcome to Art Therapy." She

"Name, year, some random fact about you -- bonus points if it’s interesting -- and the last artistic thing that you did."

"You've actually tested knocking out a trucker with a carton of milk?"

What had she let herself in for teaching at this school? She should've known better.

"Not under, like, scientific conditions," Sam said. "I had to make my own fun on road trips."

"I feel really boring for sticking to 'I spy'." Or more recently, playing Draw Something on her phone obsessively. "Big gallon bottle, not one of those little half-ones, right?" Hopefully.

Re: Intros!

"That gallon gives you a more satisfying swing," Sam confirmed. "But I could probably do it with a half gallon. Just gotta aim it right."

Angela was only half regretting asking people to make it interesting. "Neat skill. I... will have to remember to look you up if I need a trucker laid out."

"Any time," Sam said. "For a modest fee."

"Angelica Jones, and I'll be a junior in the fall," Angel said. "I'm, um, a little better about talking about art than actually doing it, but I like to draw and paint and I've done some ice sculptures."

The last almost "artistic" thing she'd done was make Emma think she'd burned her face off, but she wasn't bringing that up.

"One thing I've never tried." Because large chunks of ice weren't exactly readily available, even in art school. "You get to go at it with chainsaws and ice picks, right?"

Re: Intros!

[whitequeensfire]

"They didn't let us use chainsaws," Angelica grinned. In the hands of high school students, that could have been bad. "We kind of had to carefully hammer out the basic shape, then use the ice picks. I made an angel."

Which had then been smashed by one of her classmates. And then Angelica had melted all the rest. Accidentally. Maybe.

Re: Intros!

[flashesforinfo]

"Come to think of it, I wouldn't let you lot loose with chainsaws either." Because uh... obvious reasons were obvious. Especially after talking to Ace and Sam.

"It's easy to do all that before it all melts around you?"

Amputated body parts might be a problem even for the healers on the island -- and a pain to explain to the school board.

"We did them outdoors in the winter," Angelica said. "As long as it didn't get warm they would be okay, unless someone vandalized them." But she wasn't bitter.

This certainly seemed like it was going to be more fun than the rugrat class from yesterday. Juliet was in a good mood as she began her introduction.

"I'm Juliet Darling," she said. "I'm a senior now. I'm a little psychic about my twin Jeremy" -- not really -- "so that's kind of interesting. And the last artistic thing I did was practicing a Tennessee Williams monologue. I want to be an actress someday."

"A girl with a plan, I like it." Angela was notoriously terrible at long term goals, so those who could work to that... More power to them.

"So we're talking the 'I have a bad feeling when he gets hurt' kind of psychic, or the 'I can literally hear his thoughts' kind?" she wondered. Around here, it never hurt to ask. She totally liked to believe that the first type happened in her world. Nothing wrong with that.

Re: Intros!

[twintuitionist]

"More the 'bad feeling when he gets hurt' kind of thing," Juliet said, beaming. "I mean, there are times when I can pretty much hear his thoughts, but he says that's just 'cause I know him so well."

"That is very awesome. It must be pretty cool to be that close." As an only child, it was always a little intriguing to think of, if particularly because she had zero sibling experience.
