[ the video opens with a man sitting at a desk. he paints quite an odd picture - looks to be in his mid-thirties, with long dark hair, wearing a black vest with a white shirt under it, rolled up to his elbows. odd tattoos cover his arms and move up the front of his neck as well.

he clears his throat, and a deep voice speaks. ]

Good evening. For those of you who don't know me, my name is V.

I'm looking for people interested in a wine and arts night. Specifically, right now I'm seeking those willing to work as instructors for painting, drawing, and other such mediums, for a modest group of people. I can provide the supplies for such hosting, as well as the space. I'm even prepared to provide monetary pay if that's a sticking point for performing the instructing.

I'm also seeking people willing to pose as models, once I've secured the instructors. And of course, knowing what kind of interest people would have in attending such a thing.

[ he reaches a hand up to brush his hair back. it's starting to get long; someone should tell him about hair bands. ]

I'm looking to host this at least once a month. We seem to lack an entry level experience for the art forms here, and I'd like to change that. And I don't think most people would turn up a chance for some good wine.

[ he smirks a bit. ]

You can respond to this post or contact me privately. [ he provides his contact information. ]

Perhaps eventually, but I'm not putting that specification on any volunteers yet.

You know, you gotta work on being more subtle, kiddo.

[spah]

As an art appreciator, I'd be interested.

[He raises his hand with an easy smile.]

Always been curious about the kinda artists 'round this world.

[intwained]

Then that makes two of us. I've been to some art showings here, but I think sharing that knowledge could be quite fruitful.

[ he smiles. ]

I have an appreciation for it, but I am not very skilled with pencil or brush myself.

[ Casually eyeing that thread up there with Nero. Hmm. ]

i'm not really good with either of those things but uh
i can help do whatever you need help with besides that

or i guess my camera's yours?

text; un: ēsurit

[intwained]

I could certainly use the help to set up and move supplies.

There's also something to be said for being able to get pictures of an event such as this. I'd pay you, of course.

I know how to draw using various mediums, so I wouldn't mind helping instructing!

[ Ah but wait...he's forgetting the most important part?! ]

But I'm mute so...it might not be the easiest thing for me to teach without someone else there.

@ēsurit; text

[intwained]

I can certainly be on the lookout for someone who could interpret, or look into a system that relies on more visual than audio cues.

[ he'd rather not discount an instructor simply because they're mute. ]

I plan to attend regardless, even if I don't participate, though I admit I'm unfamiliar with sign language.

[cadeuces]

I don't mean to interrupt your conversation, darling, but this man is my housemate. I'd be more than happy to speak your signed instructions aloud if you need. I hope you'll still participate; I'd love to see you in action!

[ somehow, things like this he almost can't resist ]

Are you an artist yourself?

text; un: ēsurit

[intwained]

Only in matters of poetry.

Still, I have an appreciation for the arts, and I thought it might be nice to use the space I have to further that.

text; un: mercy

[cadeuces]

You know you'll have my support wherever you may need it; whether it's setup, snacks, or the occasional bit of modeling if you have need of a subject, I suppose.

I can't promise I'll hold a pose very well, though.

text; un: ēsurit

[intwained]

I didn't want to impose too much, considering it's your space as well, but I am glad to know I'll have your support.

We may have a photographer too; perhaps you'd like to pose for him and we could use those instead of having to sit?

[ you can practically hear the teasing in his voice. ]

[Ooooh, art! CREATIONS! Meteora is all over this, even if her face stays in the usual deadpan mood.]

I'm very interested in your idea. I've only recently started to write, so I wouldn't consider myself apt to teach, but I can provide help in anything else needed. I work at the local library, if you think you need any kind of manuals or poetry books as tools.

video; un: ēsurit

[intwained]

[ he smiles a bit as he replies. ]

I'll keep that in mind. I think we're going to focus on more physical mediums like painting, sketching or charcoal, but there's no reason we can't expand it if there's enough interest.

[ he's already come in contact with a photographer and engineer after all. ]

Does the library happen to stock any art supplies we'd be able to borrow? Money isn't a concern but it'd be a good way to keep costs down.

Oh hey. :)
Unfortunately my hand's only steady for shooting and lockpicking.
I'll swing by for some wine, though.

text; un: ēsurit

[intwained]

Why hello.

We do need people to attend to make it a success, after all.

And I wouldn't dream of stealing your spot in the gun range. Unfortunately I'm not very steady with one myself.

[ He's elegantly presented when he's on screen, blinking once at the rolling video before he addresses V and the screen. ]

This one has some experience in instruction of all levels for ink painting, and similar painting down for fans. If such is of use for your endeavours.

[intwained]

[ he recognizes shen, which garners a small smile from v. ]

Ink painting would be a lovely option for people to try, if you think it'd be a suitable endeavor for novices.

[vanum]

yeah ok cool just keep your poncy music down
...and let me know how many pizzas you're ordering i don't wanna run out

text; un: ēsurit you knew in your heart it would be @dante

[intwained]

I don't imagine we'll have need of music, but duly noted.

You can be in charge of selecting what kind of pizza, since we'll have other food besides.

[ he knows what ur gonna pick he just wants to see if you'll pretend you won't. ]

[realimperfect]

Participating in art making isn't really my thing, but you had me at wine.

I could also be a model, if needed.

text;

[intwained]

Only if you have a desire to be. We'll need people to attend, after all, not just instruct.

I'll be sure to advertise the actual venture when it's set up thoroughly.

text: un: Red

[fafa]

I have decent skills but I have not really tried to teach before. But if you don't have enough volunteers, I can try.

text

[intwained]

I will keep you in mind. I think we have enough volunteers; would you be interested in attending, though? Especially if you have never tried to teach before, it could be a good way to learn.

[foolishjustice]

It's not exactly the most popular medium, but I'd be willing to give lessons on using adhesive vinyl.

[intwained]

[ v tilts his head, thinking a little. ]

I can't admit familiarity with the technique, but I'd be glad to have you teach a class on it. Unique ideas shouldn't ever be turned down.

video

[wantsnudes]

Ah, hello. I believe you attended my exhibition before.

I'm still just a student of art myself, and so I do not think I'm yet qualified in teaching others. Still, this is a worthy endeavour, and I would like to assist if I can.

Perhaps I can see if a few models of mine would be interested in modelling for these evenings, as well?

video;

[intwained]

[ v smiles a little bit, nodding his head. ]

I did indeed. It played no small part in me thinking up this idea, I will admit that. You're more than welcome, if you ever feel up to it, to instruct a class. But I will gladly take any assistance you will offer.

A lot of the models seem reluctant to do it as anything other than a last resort, so enthusiastically consenting models would be preferable.

I'm sorry; video un:Michel♥

[Look at this weird-ass teenager look back at him. The silver bracelets and necklaces contrast to his black makeup and blue hair. Clearly he is in good company.]

Well bro, you might be in luck since my ma taught me all I know about portraiture. I ain't a fan of wine or drinkin' but I could teach people a thing or two.

video; un: ēsurit hi this is my favorite P2 character????

[intwained]

[ v does definitely arch an eyebrow at the teenager - but he's also not one to judge by a person's cover, and indeed he smiles after hearing him speak. ]

Will it bother you if others drink? If it's not, we can always arrange for a less intoxicated affair.

[envoyoftwilight]

[Thanks for the exposure, Yusuke.]

I do modelling for Kitagawa. I could be convinced to lend my assistance for your little gathering.

[She says she could be convinced, but. She just means that Yusuke didn't need to give her much incentive. She likes attention. Please give her attention.]

[intwained]

[ v gives a little nod as greeting, a small smile on his face. ]

I have seen his paintings of you before - you're quite the lovely model. It's a pleasure to see you in person.

I would be glad to have your assistance. If you need any sort of compensation for modeling as well, that's something I'm glad to discuss too.
