🧙 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!))

[This is for kids? What about being a kid at heart? Crow isn't really into anything arts unless music is involved, but the foam gravestones pique his dark aesthetic. So he starts painting some spooky motifs like spiderwebs and bat wings. Though, he's not feeling very creative with what name to write on the gravestones. That's when he looks over at Kazunari's designs and snorts at the names.]

Emma Goner? Bone Voyage?! I thought these were supposed to be scary!

[He kind of overlooks this being a kid-friendly event.]

[This guy... vaguely reminds him of Tenma. Which means Kazunari just laughs.] I gotcha, I gotcha, I'm picking up what you're putting down.

[He takes a moment to think about it before grabbing a blank gravestone.] How about! This!

Yul B. Next!

[Kazunari draws in a skull and crossbones too. Very scary! Very menacing!]

Oh! That's actually a good one!

[ Crow looks approvingly at the skull with crossbones. Nice touch! On the gravestone he put spiderwebs on, he comes up with a clever name drawing inspiration from Kazunari.]

How about? Cat A. Comb!

Ahaha awesome sauce! [Kazunari's made quite a few graves now so he's happy to rattle off ideas for Crow.]

Hmmm ~ What do you think of I.L. Beback?

Oh, I like that one too!

[Crow grabs another gravestone and starts writing that one in. He's not big on puns, but apparently, he believes he's fit enough to be a judge of which one is good or not.]

What else you got? And make the next one really spooky!

[He starts drawing skeleton hands on the foam to go with the name.]

[Kazunari looks very thoughtful for a moment.] "I am not dead. I am merely dormant."

[That's... unnerving. But not a pun.] Or, hmm, Barry D. A. Live? [Yeeeah, now that's spooky!]

Okay!

[Crow adds that one onto his final gravestone. That should do it!]

Done! Do you need help setting them up? We gotta make sure people have a good view of these!

Would you help?? That would be super great!! [He starts gathering up his gravestones.]

I want to put them in the gardens outside the theater, but we gotta be careful so we don't mess up our Garden Master's hard work!

Well, I don't have anything else going on, why not!

[He picks up his set of gravestones and follows Kazunari outside to the Garden. Well that's a good place to put them, it'll almost seem like a small graveyard.]

Oh yeah, I'll be careful! My parents are dairy farmers. Even if they raise cattle, I know how hard it is to grow things from the dirt.

[He considers the space they have to work with, and it's not a lot.]

How should we arrange them? Maybe we can group some of them together?

Yah! Groups of three are - [Chef's kiss! He literally makes the chef's kiss motion. And while he doesn't know much about interior or exterior design, it has to follow the same principles as graphic design, right!]

Ooh and have some of the spookier ones front and center so they really catch people's eye! [He begins wedging some in.] This is gonna be so cool! The theater's gonna look great!

[Crow isn't aware of Earth memes, but even without knowing them, he still can figure out what Kazunari is implying. Crow is all about the power of the trinity. He gets to work in grouping the gravestone into sets of three. He also makes sure the middle one is the most eye-catching too.]

Yeah, it looks pretty good! Maybe we should put some cobwebs or moss on top for extra effect? What do you think?

Yesss that will really sell it! [Trust him, he has decor for days when it comes to cobwebs and other spooky debris. Just give him a moment to fish it out from wherever he has it stored and he'll toss some to Crow.

As Kazunari's working, he starts thinking. He's doing this mostly for the kids and for fun, but a bonus for his efforts is getting Kaika some attention (he is their PR guy after all!). And after spending a little time with Crow, he seems like the type who would look good on stage. So... ] Toootally random question here, but do you have any interest in theater?

[Izumi has totally rubbed off on him if he's trying to recruit someone off the streets but hey. It's worked in the past.]

[Well Kazunari's intuition isn't wrong. Crow is no stranger to the stage, but he is usually on a different one than theater. He finishes up placing the cobwebs on top of the gravestones and even in between them to make it authentic. He turns to the other when he answers the question.]

Theater?

[Honestly, Crow doesn't think of himself as an actor, but as a musician. Yet, he supposes even on that stage he has to play a role, it's just different.]

Not really! I'm more into music than anything else! Though, if you want me to make a cameo, I can definitely do that!

[Crow actually thinks he's a big deal, but he does have a small following in Avalon.]

Legit? That's awesome! [Yeah, Kazunari's all about art but music is a whole different beast. He really admires those who can play instruments and/or sing. Crow has a new fan.]

We've never done anything with a music focus before! That could be a whole new venture... [The gears are turning!] I can send you our director's info and she can get you set up! She's a real sweet bird ~

[He's pulling out his phone to direct Crow here if he is so inclined ~ ]

[Well be impressed Kazunari, Crow can both sing and play the guitar! He considers the proposition thoughtfully. It wouldn't be bad to give it a try, plus it could be really fun to be on a different stage. Maybe he could even gather some more crimson souls (fans), too!]

Nice! I'll definitely give her my details! And if you're not busy on a Saturday night, you should stop by the Phoenix Roost to see one of my shows!

[Since they're exchanging deets, Crow only feels justified to promote himself as well. Not that he needs a reason to do that. He then turns back to gravestones.]

I think these look great, don't you? What else can we decorate?!
