[ 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. ]

The pleasure of meeting you is all mine, Meteora.

[ at her stipulations, he gives a gentle laugh. ]

I think we will keep it to things like chairs or canvasses, I promise. I know there is a chroma-powered paint - it glows when you moonlace - but I don't think that will suit our painting purposes, thankfully.

[Ah, such good manners, always so good to see. And Chroma-powered paint does exist, huh? Curiosity tells her to look into - but later. It's organizing time! She reaches off screen from her laptop.]

Chairs, tables, canvases and paint then. Easily doable. As heads-up, I may ask you for at least some minutes of hand holding the day we get this going - my magic drains Chroma fast. You mentioned wine, have you considered options for appetizers too?

I was just about to offer as much to you as well. I'll do my best to procure what I can without making you duplicate too many items - I'm more than happy to patronize an art store with a large order.

[ but them chairs, man, he doesn't wanna buy a bunch of those. he makes a thoughtful noise. ]

I had been going over them. I'm hoping to have a mix of higher end appetizers and more basic ones - to account for all tastes. As well as a variety of wine, which I'm open to input on. My house mate Angela is helping me with picking some out.

[ he actually has a list! since midna had wanted something with 'exquisite' taste he sends it over to her so she can look it over. there's a mix of higher end suggestions - caviar, custom orders from patisseries or level 1 delicatessens - and more basic items like cheese and cracker boards.

and pizza. there's definitely a note about pizza. "for dante".

the pairing suggestions range from sweet dessert wines to drier reds and crisper whites. ]

[Okay, that gets a smile out of her.] Thank you. And patronizing an art store is a wonderful idea, I'm glad to hear you'll support the arts that way too.

[She's far from calling herself an artist (yet?) but as a creation and friend of creators, this pleases her greatly. She wants to see all kinds of art spread!

The list arrives and she gives it a quick look-over. It'd be a lie to say she's looking at this with the eyes of an organizer when her stomach is doing the approving. So that little note about pizza? Maybe if she was a little less of a glutton, she would mention that it looks out of place on such a menu. But she isn't. She likes pizza, so pizza stays. The more food the better, okay.]

My experience with wine is limited, so I'm afraid I cannot be of help there - but it seems you already have a person up to the task. The menu looks very good, quite a variety for all tastes, I don't think anyone will feel left out. [Not even this "Dante".] You aren't bad at organizing after all.

[Look, she's not trying to be mean, she's just following what he said about himself!]
