☆ Open ☆ Time to get Crafty (and Spooky!)

[natsupiko]

🧙 WHO: Kazunari and YOU
⚔️️ WHAT: shoves a paintbrush into your hands. art
🕒 WHEN: Mid October
🗺️ WHERE: Kaika Theater
⚠️ WARNINGS: Shenanigans? Mess? None probably

☆ Stay Artsy!

[It turns out, there is something Kazunari can do in regards to current events and influx of refugees. Kaika Theater has been opening its doors to the children of refugees recently, as a free daycare. The kids can partake in an array of activities and one such activity is art with Kazunari!

Inspired by his recent art therapy session with Tsumugi and with the weather being as crummy as it's been, Kazunari can't think of a better way for the kids to direct their energy between their acting classes indoors.

Tables are lined up, covered in a layer of cheap kraft paper (to hopefully catch most of the mess) and there are plenty of paints, brushes, sponges and other fun painting utensils to go around. For those that want to get into the Halloween spirit, there are supplies to make kid friendly decorations. There is also glitter. There is so much glitter.]

☆ [While the majority of the painting is to be done at the tables, Kazunari has also set up a huge canvas across the floor. He's just asking for chaos when he dips his hands in paint and then lays them on the canvas.]

It's time for a collab, fam!!

☆ [Or maybe you really just want to sit down at a table and paint out your feelings. That's cool, too.]

☆ [One of the Halloween stations is for making paper ghosts and foam gravestones. They're made out of those foam boards that are easy to push patterns and writing into and then they can be painted.

Kazunari is making some terribly punny stones such as: Emma Goner and Bone Voyage!]

[This art event isn't limited to just the kids, though: anyone in Camelot is free to come by and have some fun.]



☆ Make it Spooky

[Halloween is drawing ever closer which means it's time to go all out with decorating. Kazunari has already decked out his room at the inn with as much as he can fit in it so now it's time to move on to Kaika Theater.]

☆ The majority of his efforts are going towards the outside of the theater. Ghosts hanging from the trees, gravestones tucked carefully carefully in the flower beds, spiders skittering up the door frame - all of the classics! If you can think of it, it's there or in his bag of goodies to be added.

☆ Inside, Kazunari is stringing up black and orange bunting as well as posting the silhouettes of bats and ghosts and ghouls (including ones made by the kids!) in the windows.

[Regardless of where he is, there will be a point where he climbs down from his ladder after placing some spiderwebs and admires his work.]

Hypeeee!! This is looking so legit!!!


((Kazunari will be around to interact with but this is also meant to be a casual open mingle post c: Feel free to PM this journal or LUCK33 if there's anything specific you wanna do with Kaz not mentioned in the prompts. Have fun!))

[The turnout for this event has been really wonderful. Kazunari is so happy to see not only the kids, but other residents and otherworlders alike. He's meeting so many new people!

Including this one. Her outburst has him laughing.] Ofc! There are brushes too, but it's hella fun this way! You wanna try?

[Aren't you tired of being civilized, don't you want to go apeshit?]

[schmisse]

No, thank you!

[ She shakes her head with all the energy she can muster, and her braid swings along with her. ]

That's just— the paint is going to stay on you for days! At least— that's how I'm imagining things would be!

[natsupiko]

[Cute...]

OMG, no no way! The parents would roast me alive if I let that happen! [He has a little sister. He knows better!] It comes off with some good ol' soap and water, promise.

[schmisse]

[ Okay, if it sounds as easy as he's making it sound? ]

Just one rinse, and everything will be gone?

[natsupiko]

Yup! You've got my word; we can even pinky promise on it!

[And he does indeed hold out his (still very covered in paint) hand, pinky up and ready for promising.]

[schmisse]

That's so childish.

[ Pinky promises and all! And yet, here she is, removing her gloves and putting them in her pocket. She may as well get this over with. There are kids around and she doesn't want to make any of them sad by being a party pooper!

Extending her pinky, she links it with Kazunari's. ]

No chanting.

[ Just promises!!! No talks about breaking fingers!!! ]

[natsupiko]

Y'know, you remind me of a friend from home. [Which is a compliment.

There is no chanting and no talk of breaking fingers. Just a little bounce as Kazunari makes his promise.] I super duper pinky promise that the paints can be washed out easy peasy. No problemo!

[And that's that, really.] C'mon and join us then ~ ☆ Pick a color, any color!

[schmisse]

You're going to have to be a bit more descriptive so I can decide to be offended or not by that comment.

[ But, okay! She's actually pretty nervous because she's never done anything like it before. It doesn't show much on the surface, but her hands are a bit colder than usual! ]

Is there baby blue? [ There's all kinds of paint available, but she looks for her favourite colour first. ] Oh, I wouldn't know what to paint, either.

What are you painting?

[natsupiko]

Animals! [In fact, the painting he's partway through with is a pink goofy looking bird, but he's stopped to grab all the blue paint for Weiss (there's blue and light blue and white so at the least she can mix the color!)]

This guy [Yes, the bird.] is one of my pals but not the one I was talking about, haha. I super adore the friend you remind me of though, so no offense meant! He just gets riled pretty easily and pretends to be all exasperated with our antics, but then he'll still play along with us! It's super cute.

[schmisse]

Is... this other friend also an animal?

[ Are all of his friends animals?

But... the painting of the cute (yes, it's cute) bird does give her an idea! Carefully dipping her finger in the light blue paint, she draws a round-ish shape with loppy-looking ovals on either side.

It seems she has to dip her finger every few seconds, though. Who knew this would be challenging?! ]

[natsupiko]

[Kazunari laughs. He can just imagine Tenma's aghast expression: 'Haa?! Don't go around making people think I'm an animal!' or something like that.] N-no! No, he's totally one hundred percent human! He's the leader of the theater troupe I'm in.

[As he's talking, he's watching her paint. So far it's looking super cute ~ loppy ovals and all.]

[schmisse]

Theater?

[ Oh! She only did theater briefly in another world, but she knows of someone who is very much into it. The owner of this place!

WAIT A MINUTE. ]

You're not comparing me to Taichi, are you?!

[natsupiko]

You know Taicchan?? He's such a good boy! Nothing wrong with being like him!

[Taichi is NOT who he's comparing her to but oops, now he's distracted.]

[schmisse]

I do, and he's— he's— [ Quick! She must not say anything NICE about Taichi! ] A big dork! And so cheesy! And so indecent!

[ WHAT'S THAT ABOUT THE LAST ONE??? oh my god. Now the dog she's painting? Looks angry. >:( Angry face. ]

[natsupiko]

[INDECENT?!] Aww, he just wants to be popular with girls!

... That's what you mean by indecent, right? [RIGHT? Taichi what DID YOU DO.]

[schmisse]

[ Sorry, Taichi. She's gonna tell everyone your secret because she doesn't know how to keep them. ]

He couldn't control his excitement in public!

[ God, just thinking about it is making her feel flustered. In Prismatica, Taichi got a boner while outside and Weiss had to shame him and make him hide in the toilet. It was miserable for the both of them. ]

I'm definitely not like that.

[natsupiko]

[Taichi Nanao you are much too old to be getting away with that?! Kazunari's sputtering.] He WHAT?? He wouldn't-

[He's also trying not to laugh. He'll be sending Taichi a text to rib him about this later; boys sure are stupid.] As the other half of the Wan Wan Combo, I apologize on his behalf!

Rest assured he is not who I was talking about! [Minor subject change, minor subject change!] Tenten isn't here yet. [Implying he ever will be. That would be nice.] And the most embarrassing thing he's ever done is get lost on the way to the grocery store.

[Much better than inappropriate boners.]

[schmisse]

[ ... she can't say she appreciates being compared to someone who gets lost easily??? Hm. Still, it's better than being compared to Taichi, king of the inappropriate boners. ]

Taichi's apologised plenty, you don't have to apologise. [ Still, she's thankful, anyway. If anything, Weiss should be the one apologising for shaming Taichi into crying. (Then again, Taichi cries pretty easily, anyway.) ] I'm glad that's cleared up, at least.

[ Dipping her finger in the paint again, she draws a smaller puppy, this time a happier one! With a tiara and all. Huh! Seems familiar. It's after drawing its smiley face that she realises— ]

Oh! I'm sorry, I forgot about my manners for a bit there. My name is Weiss, by the way. Weiss Schnee.

[natsupiko]

[Weiss Schnee... hmm, these names are becoming more difficult to make nicknames of.

Kazunari's glad to see the puppies are happy again. He paints a smiling bird with feathers sticking out at the neck to resemble his mullet, so the puppy has a friend to hang out with. And he laughs off her apology.]

It's chill, it's chill! I'm Kazunari Miyoshi! You can call me Kazu ~ ☆

[schmisse]

Kazu. That's easy enough to remember.

[ And remember it, she shall! Especially since he's Taichi's friend. She may not show it, but Taichi is. . . a familiar face to her, and is therefore, important. (She still won't call him a friend.) ]

My name is only one syllable. There's no way to shorten it.

[natsupiko]

[Kazunari taps his chin. There's no way to shorten it but that doesn't mean a nickname is out of the question.]

Hmm ~ [Schnee is hard to shorten and play with too, so he can't go the same route he did with Juza or Sakyo. Wait - ]

Miss Nice! [It rhymes! And he feels like it suits her plenty.]

[schmisse]

[ YOU CAN'T JUST CALL A TSUNDERE "NICE" ]

Wait— what did you just call me?

[natsupiko]

[THE CONTRACT HAS BEEN SEALED.]

Miss Nice!

[schmisse]

No nicknames.

[ BANNED ]
