[ 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. ]

Nude models? 👀

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

[devilbreak]

I’ve been told I’m a great model.

[intwained]

Only when you're nude?

I'll keep you in mind either way.

[devilbreak]

No, all the time. I asked because I wanted to make sure I didn’t have to show my junk to strangers if I was interested in the job.

👍

[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.

[intwained]

I suppose the fusion of man and machinery could make an interesting subject.

[ v nO SORE SUBJECT - ]

[ 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?

[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.

[spah]

Me neither, 'less you count engineerin' work. I draw a lot of mechanical blueprints. But I got a real appreciation for anyone who can use a brush.

[burstmodes]

oh nah
you don't have to do that
i wouldn't mind helping just to help

[ Plus, it'd give him something to do. So. ]

btw what's your un mean???

༼;´༎ຶ ۝ ༎ຶ༽

[devilbreak]

Actually maybe you’re better off with more traditional subjects

[mysophobic]

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.

[intwained]

Engineering work is an art form in and of itself. But I can admit that is something less easily taught in an introductory setting.

I have some skill with words, myself. But I've no interest in holding a poetry session.

[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.

1/2

[intwained]

I don't see why a more traditional subject would be any better.

2/2

[intwained]

I've misstepped. I apologize.

[intwained]

If you're sure.

[ he can still tip him money and no one can stop him. ]

Ah, it's a latin conjugate. It's base meaning is that one is hungry, though the interpretation can vary from the literal to the metaphorical.

[burstmodes]

huh

well that doesn't sound any fun
you should let me think of something cooler for you
i mean unless you start telling people you're hungry for [ insert cool thing here ]

[mysophobic]

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? ]

[intwained]

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.

[intwained]

I quite enjoy the one that I have, though I'm willing to hear suggestions.

You could say in this context, I'm hungry for art.

[devilbreak]

No it’s fine. This art thing sounds cool. I hope you get a lot of interest.

Are you an artist yourself?
