I've been here for a year and I think I may have a little bit of artists' block. I think it might be the summer heat.

When I first got here I got to do some scuba diving. I haven't gotten to do this for awhile and I'd like to give it another try since it's so warm out. It's probably a long shot, but if anyone here is skilled in it, would you mind answering some questions? While I'm sure there are places to learn - it can't hurt to ask here first.

And a few curious questions.

1. Tell me something interesting about the world you were before here. I'm always looking to hear stories from where you're from. So if you have a story you spontaneously want to share, send me a message.
2. An interesting thing you've learned about this world. The Moons and Chroma don't count, I'd bet that's different from most, if not all, places. Something like a hidden gem of a restaurant,
3. What do you do to get inspiration? New location? Where's your favorite place to get inspired here?
4. Where's your favorite place to pick up some new furniture.

That being said, I have the opportunity to set up a permanent studio here, which should prevent my cat** from spilling tea on stuff when he wants attention.

**Cat pictures can be sent upon request.

I went on my first day here. I'm not much of a beach person otherwise, but scuba diving was exciting.

...Ah. Hey -- you should play for me sometime.

[doreimi]

Oh, wow! You really hit the ground running, then, huh? Or I guess maybe I should say swimming!

...Did I ever tell you I used to play in the music club at school? I was pretty good, too — second chair. There was a girl who was better than me, but she was going to graduate, so it was to be expected.

I liked it when I went, but haven't gone back. You should join me sometime, if you'd like to experience it yourself. It was interesting when I went last time.

I know you mentioned you played, but never mentioned how good you were.

[ he doesn't say the it would have been you because he doesn't need to, but it almost was there. he was careful not to ]

It's good you've picked it up here again.

[doreimi]

I wasn't THAT good. Pretty good, sure, but not like...what's the word, a virtuoso or anything. I just practiced a lot.

The director got mad at me all the time, I remember that much. Because I wore nail polish. He was pretty strict, and you're not supposed to do that.

[penpoint]

Don't downplay your hard work.

So Reimi-chan is a rebel, huh?

[doreimi]

Reimi-chan was a teenage girl with pocket money and boys to impress.

It's because it's too flashy, when you're playing. It draws the audience's eyes to your hands.
