Hello, my name is Soubi Agatsuma. When I first arrived here, I opened up commissions for that band everybody was obsessed over. Since we've moved past that, I want to advertise my art once more.

I'll paint anything. There isn't anything I won't paint. Subject matter, size, object, anything. I'm a university student majoring in art and have painted since I was a small child. I'll let my examples speak for themselves.

[The images he shows are simply pictures he's taken. One of them is a butterfly pinned down, one wing almost torn off in the struggle of trying to escape but being unable to. Another is a butterfly with its wings slowly burning away as it tries to fly towards the sun. The third example is a large landscape portrait of a forest...

With dead butterflies all along the ground. When he's in a bad mood, he paints butterflies. He's always in a bad mood.]

I have some examples of those guys that were here but I doubt anybody is interested in seeing those. If anybody is, though, take them off my hands. They're taking up space that I could use for other pieces and it was a waste of resources. 20 chroma a piece. 30 chroma if you want some details changed. I could change the faces.

We'll discuss the price of original pieces if you're interested but my base rate is around 40 chroma. I'm a fast worker.

Thank you for your consideration.

[Is this a good ad? No but it's an ad and that's all that matters. It isn't like he ever actually did commission work before this.]

Comments

[Compliments often make Soubi uncomfortable but it's different when they're compliments about a skill. To Soubi, being able to paint is simply something he learned to do. It isn't special.

He can brush this off and keep the smile on his face.] I'm very happy you like it. You had a good idea going with the lilies. It fits well and I had a lot of fun painting it. I'm glad your friend will like it as well.

[halforc]

Oh! Let me pay you, my gods. I almost forgot.

[ He's so pleased that he shoots Soubi a straight 150 in chroma via his comm, the tip being wholly due to how thrilled and relieved Fjord is by the finished product. ]

If I need another painting, I'll be sure to seek you out again.

[Wow, that is almost triple what he priced and he's surprised. That look of surprise doesn't stay off of his face.]

Thank you...

[If it was just for himself then he may have said something but well, this money isn't for him so he smiles and nods.]

Please do. My friend and I would appreciate it.

[halforc]

[ The phrasing drags his attention off the painting at last, blinking at the blonde curiously. ]

Ah, is your work supporting the two of you?

[depreciated]

Yes.

[Maybe that comes across as a bit weird but Soubi is quick to defend it.] We come from the same world and he is unable to work. I want to support him. [More like he kind of has to.

And this person is his master.

But details.]

[halforc]

[ There's a lot of masters floating around the network these days, yikes. ]

Well then, I'll be sure to spread your name around my friends. Hopefully that will get you out there a bit more too. [ He takes the painting and offers a handshake. ] It was a pleasure doing business with you, Soubi. All the best to you and your friend.

[As much as the guy hates to be touched, Soubi can at least do this. Smile still on his face, he nods and shakes his hand.]

Thank you, Fjord.
