i've got just one regret to live through
Who: Saionji
konpeitoqueen and Kayneth
enjoymyatelier
Where: Ecruteak City Dance Theater
When: February 27th
Summary: Saionji is practicing in the dance theater. Kayneth visits the dance theater. In other news, the planets are aligning in the prediction of the apocalypse.
Rating: G, unless Saionji enacts some serious act of violence on Kayneth
Log:
Honestly speaking, the entire detour to Ecruteak City was a good one.
Saionji is ever-so-gracefully tapping her fingers against the stage floor, the fan opening quite loudly in her left hand. The Kimono Girls here are rather polite figures, and have no issue with others coming up onstage to practice. Sure, there were Rocket attacks, but who would ever think that a girl like Saionji would be a Rocket member? Her obi was finally tied into an actual knot instead of being disgracefully tied together like rope for manual labor, though the bow was still a bit casual for her liking. Still, she would learn the complicated formal bows later. She's taking notes, after all.
Of course, her good moods didn't exactly count on someone she recognized walking through the door. She wouldn't just happily show off her skills to anyone- and especially not this guy.

"Well, I suppose I'll just have to study up on it and see, won't I?"
He was sure he could find some kind of ---
...oh
...talents... oh... it was a good thing his expression didn't falter there, actually.
"Well, what I'm best at isn't necessarily possible here under normal circumstances, but I daresay I'm a decent artist."
Yes, excellent. Apply false modesty to that other thing.
no subject
"Well, any examples of your work?" Since there's no way to look into his previous world, she's not going to amount his previous claim to anything.
Saionji doesn't know any SHSL Artist-of-any-medium, except for photography, but there's no way she can think of Kayneth as a photographer.
no subject
Clearly, the best way to combat a performance would be to put on a performance of his own.
no subject
"Go get your paint, paper, subject to draw, whatever. I'll be waiting, so don't you dare back out!"
no subject
"Where should I meet you, then? Somewhere less dedicated to a single purpose, I would imagine."
no subject
"Near the Burned Tower. At the courtyard where people pass by to explore it." If he did happen to mess up, that would be the perfect place.
no subject
"Very well, then. I'll be there."
And so, Kayneth left the theater with every intent of making good on his challenge.
no subject
Well? She's waiting.
no subject
But, anyway, he arrives carrying a rucksack filled with art supplies... and a Reuniclus floating behind him carrying a canvas and a stand.
Because he knows it will annoy Saionji and he is a petty loser, he surveys the area a bit before acknowledging her... though, it is for a practical purpose. He does want to get the best angle, after all.
After looking over the courtyard, he eventually nods to the Psychic Pokemon who sets the canvas down a yard or two away from Saionji, obviously having been given some sort of telepathic command as to the best location for it.
no subject
"If you're trying to avoid my gaze out of embarrassment from shooting your mouth off, you can just say it." Still, she's not going to say anything else- Saionji is actually slightly interested in what he has to show. If anything, to make fun of it.
She's confident nothing he produces can beat her in terms of skill, though. Her umbrella is still tilted back, and she stares at the canvas and Kayneth- with her Petilil Nako coming from god knows where carrying a drink.
no subject
"This is a delicate process, you know. Don't distract me."
Actually, this is a pretty perfect setup. He just had to figure out a good pallet for it... maybe he should go for a bit of a pastel look. Something a little Monet might fit this nicely...
He does begin with a light sketch --- admittedly, it's a bit rougher than usual, but he already knows that this isn't going to be his best work. He has to get the maximum quality he can in a limited amount of time. He can't really say he's happy about that aspect of it, because he prefers the methodical route... but, well, keeping his subject too long would get dicey.
no subject
So, what kind of artpiece will it be? Watery, choppy, thick, paper thin, fragile, bulky...? What even is the paint he's using? Saionji never did much in terms of creating pictures with materials rather than her body and movements.
She sticks her neck out now and then to look. So, is he sketching the landscape?
no subject
Which is to be expected, if you know anything about art.
He kind of tolerates the peeking, though without breaking concentration, he gets a few words out.
"Try to stay more still, please."
no subject
Oh okay what.
"Ehhhh?" Her umbrella is lying on her shoulder a bit ungracefully, and she adjusts it a bit- somewhat like her stage pose. She normally stays rather aesthetically pleasing most of the time, but not when she's trying to be a brat. "Teehee, I haven't had myself painted in any Western style before... let's see how bad you butcher my form."
no subject
He took this part of things a bit more slowly than the landscape part; after all, the portrait aspect was the part he was considered most important here.
no subject
...She does stay very still, though. Like- an energetic kind of stillness, from pausing a video, and not from lying down. Something that screams that she should do something, but she isn't. She's used to pausing like this, in dances and all- but she's gonna start complaining sooner or later.
no subject
He sounds more thoughtful than argumentative at this point, at least. And he does seem to be working quickly --- he's already moved onto the first sections of paint. Of course, he is rushing a bit, since... well, Saionji is proving to be a surprisingly decent model, but he's not in the zone enough to think that she's going to stay that way.
no subject
This is certainly a predicament.
Right now, all she's doing is repeating- "Are you done yet? I'm getting tired!" -now and then. She is pretty impatient to get a good look at the painting, too, so there's that.
no subject
"Could you not? These things take time, you know."
no subject
WHAT ABOUT HER NEEDS. She does want to see the picture, though, so she'll just. Stare loudly. Since when did a visit to the theater turn out this way?
no subject
Staring loudly is, at the very least, something Kayneth can deal with. In a strange way, he actually does seem to be enjoying this, despite his jabs. It is kind of challenging to get this to look nice even though he's working more quickly than he ever usually does. Actually, by this point, he's about halfway done.
no subject
Still, she's pouting and making do, the umbrella proving to not be so good in the 'gives shade' and more-so in the 'looks pretty' department. Dammit, she misses her actually functioning one back home. This feels like one of those China umbrellas.
no subject
Granted, Caravaggio did it and look at where he ended up. God, what Kayneth wouldn't give to look at real art right now... But this was looking good, if he didn't say so himself (of course he would say so himself). It shouldn't take too much longer...
no subject
Yes, corpsing and standing still are two completely different things. Performing arts, everyone! Buyo dance is related to Kabuki theater for a reason- it's an acting technique, dynamic stillness. And it takes more energy to maintain than sprinting.
Still! Just... endure it a bit longer. If the painting isn't impressive, she's gonna break his face.
no subject
...for both of them, really. Just a few last finishing touches...
