[BOND]

Who: lucky + unfortunate bystanders
When: day 43, afternoon
Where: the dining area

[SO TRAINGOERS. You may still be having water gun fights or you may have gotten bored of it, but if you're heading into the lounge to relax (or the kitchen to refill your water gun), you'll have to get past Lucky! He's taken over the table nearest the entrance to the car, dangling fairy lights from the ceiling and sprinkling silk rose petals on the table and the floor around it. There's a hand-scrawled posterboard hanging from the table's edge:

KISSING BOOTH
FREE
for good luck!!

If you try to pass he'll call out, so good luck trying to escape. But hey, if you play along you'll get sparks...

Or, y'know, you could be doing something totally unrelated in this post.]

[shrieks and laughs]

You're super super super welcome! I'm glad it worked!

[daydreamshimmer]

[She is just so happy. First good news she's gotten since she got here, so Eliza is gonna a hug for several long moments.]

[But Sunset will eventually let go, but she's also kind of bouncing and she glances back at the corner. Her smile widens.]

Hey, give me like....fifteen minutes? Yeah, I think I can get the outline done in fifteen and coloring with fingers should be easy enough. How about you get...whatever you need for hair stuff?

[bowtiedbones]

Okay! We can wash your hair in the kitchen sink, it won't take long there. Just holler if you finish drawing before I finish setting up.

[daydreamshimmer]

Will do.

[But she's grabbing up the chalk and back down on the ground, and gonna start drawing again.]

[bowtiedbones]

[out to the kitchen to set up a hair-washing station and brew some fresh tea]

[daydreamshimmer]

[Girl is gonna be drawing up a storm because she's suddenly got a lot of energy to do something and she's inspired.]

[By the time Eliza comes back, it'll mostly just be the outline she's got done, but the chalk drawing is certainly a lot bigger now. Another day lily to be another framing, but the main focus is a stylized woman. With bone wings, with floating feathers between the sections of bones to look less menacing as more just style choice and a unicorn horn on a girl with layered light green and gold dress.]

[Girl is definitely supposed to be Eliza, but short on time for details and it's also chalk but it'll certainly be more obvious once she's actually got more color.]

[Alicons are basically pony angels okay okay.]

[bowtiedbones]

[GASPS]

Oh wow! Oh wow, you really went at it!

[daydreamshimmer]

Well, I was inspired. [Looking a bit sheepish and wiping her mouth with the back of her hand to get away some of the chalk.] Really need that tea though. I think chalk may not have been a usual medium for me.

[And grabbing a piece of chalk to color between the lines. Holding the shalk more like she was holding a pole like a little kid would then proper writing utensil holding.]

[bowtiedbones]

I'll have to spray some fixer when you're done with it. That's too good to just rinse away so soon!

Want me to show you how I hold chalk? It's my usual medium.

[daydreamshimmer]

[Oh]

Ah. Well, if you want. [Blushing a bit, the sheepishness just increasing.]

Huh? Oh, sure, I guess I should figure that out.

[bowtiedbones]

I think you'll pick it up quickly.

[scooping up two pieces of chalk, one held in a pinch and the other like a pencil. options!]

[daydreamshimmer]

Maybe.

[But watching her pick up the pieces, and tries positioning her fingers the same way.]

[Takes a minute until she has it sitting right.]

...huh, doesn't feel as weird as I thought...

[bowtiedbones]

Try writing.

[daydreamshimmer]

[Will try writing and that]

[That is a lot harder while thinking about it. Her penmanship is absolutely terrible, but it's...kind of legible????]

[bowtiedbones]

Hm... Try signing your name? Like fast, like for a receipt.

[daydreamshimmer]

Why are you signing a receipt?

[Also writing down Solar Flare slowly at first because she has to like. See the word down before she can even try for fast.]

[bowtiedbones]

I think it's a legal holdover? It's an authentication thing.

[daydreamshimmer]

....like a....seal?

[bowtiedbones]

Yes! Exactly like a seal.

[daydreamshimmer]

So for signing...like an autograph?

[bowtiedbones]

Only if you're famous!

[daydreamshimmer]

Well yeah, but that's what you mean by fast signing, right?

[bowtiedbones]

More or less, yeah.

[daydreamshimmer]

Okay.

[She will try to write Solar Flare fast and she does know a kind of cursive, but it also just ends up a loop de loop than letters at the end.]

...that didn't really work, huh?

[bowtiedbones]

Not super great, but not terrible.
