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.

ha ok verse it is

this was very popular amongst all the samurai class when i was younger, an aristocratic game to show off one's mind, whet your wit

the rule is simple: capture a compelling emotion
but show, don't tell. what's the point of creating a poem just to explain a thought or express a feeling, like you could normally just say anyway?
this is just a concentration of the depth of a fleeting experience, embodying an essence of a feeling, not naming it. so much is in a moment. nature lends itself best to this effect, typically

5 lines, 31 syllables. 5-7-5-7-7.
just go off-the-cuff, don't think too hard about it. that's the point. ephemerality

that said. this is typically a spoken word game, rather than writing, which i think is quite different. if it's all the same to you, it'd be better played via audio than text. i can start off if you'd like as an example?

okay. let's say the topic is... being in this place. vague enough.


To see stars at night,
One must seek out the darkness,
But to see the sky,
One must lose sight of the light,
Like the sea mourning the moon
