Video; I got transported to another world and now my hands are poison?!
[Mayaka places the Grumpearl on the bare floor of her newly acquired accommodations. To anyone tuning in, they'll see that this angle has created a fisheye effect, blowing up the lower part of her white Sneasel body and shrinking her head.]
Um... hello? This is Mayaka. I got here a few days ago and I'm a new member of the Lum Berry Guild.
[She speaks tentatively, assuming that the pearl is working. This reminds her of class introductions on the first day of school.]
Does anyone here know how to deal with these? [She waves her claws at the Grumpearl, trying to show the purple tint covering them -- a naturally-occurring venom Hisuian Sneasels produce.]
I poisoned someone - accidentally of course - and I don't want that to happen again! [The strict tone she uses seems to be directed at herself.]
[As Mayaka waits for a response, she looks around her tiny bedroom. It's sparse now, but she's been itching to set up a space to draw again. She hasn't picked up a pen since she landed here.]
... And also, if anyone knows where to get paper and pens, that would be nice too.
[This is a softer request, as if she'd be okay if no one heard. It's not obvious that she's asking about art materials, right? She doesn't even know if she has enough allowance to afford it after spending on basic necessities. Maybe it's pointless to ask.]

Right... Didn't think of that. I'll go and ask the front desk at the library. [Mayaka says slowly, still observing Aegiomon through the shine of the pearl.
She shifts her attention to her claws at his second suggestion.]
I still want to try holding a pen. I don't want to make poison drawings with these...
[A slip of the tongue, because she's distracted by the thought of it and the stubborn want to use a pen like a human. She is human!]
no subject
I-I mean, you can probably still use a pen, I just thought it might be...kinda cool...
[But apparently not? Oh well. Just because you make a suggestion, doesn't mean people have to take it.]
Especially if it's for a drawing, then it'd be, like...super personal. [Wait, no, she didn't like the idea, why is he still trying to hype it?] I mean...sorry. I don't really know a lot about drawing.
no subject
UH... [But before she can divert the topic, she finds herself pausing to listen to what the Skiddo is saying.]
Yes, drawing can be personal. But it can be much more than that too. [It can move others, it can connect people, it can matter.]
Have you tried drawing before?
no subject
...It makes him hesitate when he realizes that, no, he's never tried drawing before.]
I guess not... I don't think I ever got a chance to try it out yet.
nooo GET THIS KID A PENCIL NOW
Well... do you want to?
[It's not like she's anywhere near good enough to offer lessons. But trying it out? That's something everyone should be able to do, even if they aren't a naturally gifted artist.
Whether or not they should continue drawing after finding out they're not talented... that question is one that Mayaka still struggles to answer. She pushes this thought aside once more. This journey is already painful enough as it is.]
He's gonna lose his mind when he discovers colored pencils
Honestly, that shouldn't have been a thing he had to think about for even THAT long. It's a yes or no question, kiddo.]
Yeah... It sounds kinda fun actually, but...
[He glances away one more time, one of his ears flickering.]
...what if I'm no good at it?
[What if it looks bad? What if he commits the horrible crime of wasting paper?]
(╥﹏╥)
If she'd thought about this as a child, she probably wouldn't even have picked up drawing in the first place.]
... What's your name? [she asks gently.]
no subject
Oh right, sorry. My name's Aegiomon, it's nice to meet you.
no subject
Well, Gio-chan. I think you should give it a try first and see if you like it. [Though her tone is instructive, there's a warmth in her words.]
Hm. You have hooves instead of hands. We'll figure out how to draw together next time. Sound good?
oh no it's cute ;-;
With a big smile, he gives her a nod, his fate as a budding artist sealed. Aegiomon is pretty sure he already has a work around when it comes to holding a pen, too. Being a grass-type has its advantages.]
Mhm, together. I'll even start coming up with ideas for what I wanna draw first. Just name the time and place and I'll be there.
i love this !!! lookin forward to see where this goes
She wants to see what kind of art he'll create.]
