[ The video comes on and it appears to be neatly propped up on a desk. He's spinning a pen between his fingers. It's clear he's sitting at a desk, given by how much you can see of him. He's never posted to the network before. ]

A couple of you may know this, but I am a manga-ka at home, and obtained a physical copy my series about a month ago. Not long ago, I did get a publisher and I'm able to get additional prints of it so that I do not have to lend out my only copy.

[ But that is only partially the point of this post. ]

I'm in the process of developing a new series. There's only so much to work with within my own experiences. I've drawn many pieces of scenery here, filled up sketchbooks with pictures of Prismals and Moonblessed alike.

[ He sets his pen down on his desk, and stops playing with it. ]

So that's where I come to you. I'd like to hear stories about your life prior to here. Whether that is an interesting story or fact about you or the world you come from.

[ Oh, yeah. ]

And, one more thing. I guess, since I'm feeling generous. If anyone would like to see if I drew them - just let me know. I'd recommend posting a video. I draw what I like so there's no guarantees, but it's possible.


[ ooc; i'm happy to have had him draw p. much anyone who would be spending regular time at the park, especially if they sit still for a few minutes when there since that's where he draws most his inspiration from! ;) ]

Of course, but it's just a weird thing to ask. Even for a comic book writer.

Stories help provide a realistic perspective and inspiration. Experience produces the best art.

[ He's a very weird man, Lapis. ]

[riptidequeen]

[Still weird!]

So does it count as an experience when it's someone elses and not your own?

[penpoint]

Yes. People sharing their first hand experiences is still very useful because it's very real. I interview people often when working. [ Hah. Or just open them up like a book. ]

[riptidequeen]

Hm, I see. So anything in particular you're looking for in a story?

[penpoint]

As long as it's yours. Though I enjoy stories of interesting or even weird events more than anything. I find that the way people tell those sorts of events have a lot more [ hm ] personality. Excitement.

[riptidequeen]

Ah, then, unfortunately, I don't have anything like that. [All her stories she could tell are depressing.]

Although good luck in finding stories, sir.

With the diversity that there is here, it should be pretty simple.
