[ 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. ]

That's okay. Not many people know sign language. But I really appreciate the offered help! You should participate though! Since you're the one who thought it up, you should have some fun with it as well! Drawing is really relaxing, at least for me, you might like it!

And the good thing is that art is pretty visual as is, so teaching it without speaking isn't as hard as some other things. [ And, you know, he was undercover as an art instructor at a college before he got brought here so he has some experience already. ]

But if you ever want to learn sign language...I wouldn't mind teaching you. I mean! Only if...you want to. [ It's a long shot?! But he'll offer anyway on the off chance V would want to learn. He's used to getting shot down but nothing ventured nothing gained, right? ]

I plant to participate eventually. But the first few times I think I will focus more on making sure things go smoothly.

Excellent - I'll mark you down as a potential instructor, then? We can go over any accommodations you may need.

As for the second, I am always interested in learning new things. Sign language is a useful skill besides - and if I'll be hosting your teaching sessions, it makes sense that I should learn.

[mysophobic]

I'm sure it'll go without any problems! If you need me to help in anyway either, feel free to ask! I don't really need too much. I have my own supplies and things that I've bought here, so there's not much that I need.

[ But he's secretly happy to have someone who wants to learn sign language and is so open towards it. ]

I wouldn't mind that at all! I also didn't know you were sharing a house with Angela. Maybe we can do some teaching lessons all together then!

[intwained]

Absolutely. I intend on providing the supplies that others will be using, so I may ask what you've brought just so I can make sure they are using something equivalent.

[ v loves learning, and this is the first chance someone has offered him to learn a language. ]

Yes, we used to have a few more occupants, but we find ourselves with an excess of space now. Best to make use of it constructively. And I think a group session would be quite lovely.

[mysophobic]

Oh! Yes that would work! I guess for the basics. pencils and erasers would be best for now. A lot of other mediums take time to learn and I don't want to start with anything too intense. Lots of pads and paper too would definitely be needed.

[ And Shigeru loves teaching people sign language, especially people willing to learn! ]

That's great! I can't wait to get started. [ Shigeru, no. You first have to be able to walk through the door if you want to teach!! Going to people's homes is hard for him but he vows not to let anyone down. ]

Excellent. I'll work on getting a stock in. Do you have any upcoming plans that we would need to accommodate or, well, moon cycles? I realize things tend to happen unexpectedly here, but best to try to plan.

I look forward to learning from you as well. It will give you a chance to check out the spce we'll be using, too.

[mysophobic]

I don't think so, no. But if anything comes up I'll be sure to let you know!

It's hard to really say when the moon cycles are involved, but I'll do my best to try and notify you or Angela if anything happens. [ After all they live together so she can tell V if anything does happen. ]

[intwained]

Perfect. I'll note it down, then. And I look forward to learning from you in the future.
