Artful Thinking
Date of Scene: 18 August 2023
Location: Cafeteria Plaza
Synopsis: Reika comes to Yayoi for help with art! Candy makes things interesting while Yayoi deals with Reika.
Cast of Characters: Yayoi Kise, 143


Yayoi Kise has posed:
TODAY, Yayoi Kise is off in a sly little booth in the cafeteria of Radiant Heart Academy, which is still low traffic thanks to the summer break. She's here because it's one of the few places that she can talk to someone without too many eyes thanks to this.

"So we need to collect these decors?..." she asks the 'plushie' sitting on the table in front of her that's currently eating the plate of yakisoba she's gotten. "Uh huh." *slurp* says Candy. "And we already got two and I already found two of the Precures! This is going really good-kuru!" says Candy quietly, as she happily shares noodles with Yayoi.

Candy will freeze and stop if anyone approaches, but it may seem weird to others that Yayoi is 'talking to herself' at the moment while she apparently shares noodles with a lamb plushie.

Reika Aoki (143) has posed:
Reika Aoki did, in fact, approach her.

A few hours ago: Reika sighed as she looked over the email. Of course, the council's brochures were missing a small little educational comic for the new years. It was supposed to be done by now, but, well, the one who was going to do it had hurt themselves. It was short notice... But Reika had agreed, as she often did, to help. Alas, she wasn't an artist. BUT! She'd had a class with a rather skilled artist... and to her delight, when she came to the school cafeteria, there the girl was.

Now, approaching the other girl, she did glance at the doll. The fact Yayoi was talking to herself didn't bother her at all, after all, she wa san artist. She was likely working on internal dialogue of her own. Passion like that was something that could not be imitated and certainly a sign of a beautiful heart. "Kise-san?" Reika asked when she approached. "May I have a moment of your time?" she asked, stopping across the table, but not sitting there, instead bowing her head politely in greeting.

Yayoi Kise has posed:
Candy froze when Reika approached. mid slurp, which means it looks like she has noodles coming from her mouth all over her and leaves Yayoi mid bite, which makes it look like she was feeding the plushie when Reika approaches, she quickly wipes Candy's face clean and drops her chopsticks and gets up quickly and bows and bows. "S...sorry! Sorry!" she goes.

"Aoki-san." she says, politely back, gaze softening a little as she calms down from the apparent weirdness that just happened. Maybe it's an artists thing. She head tilts a little. "Sure, we can talk!" she says as Candy stays silently still for the moment, though she desperately wants more yakisoba. This may become an issue soon.

"I uh. Everything okay?" she asks with some concern.

Reika Aoki (143) has posed:
Reika Aoki glanced towards the doll. Weird. But... the doll didn't look dirty, so... maybe Yayoi knew how to clean it well? Either way, it was not her place to judge. "Everything is fine, Kise-san. However, I, as a representative of the student council, have come to ask for your aid in a minor project for the new year. As there are going to be many new students attending school this year, we have developed a number of new resources to help ensure that our newest attendants can get off on the best possible foot. However, we have hit a bit of an issue."

"We were intending to make a few small educational comics to help the new students in a casual, fun manner and relieve a small amount of the stress from their new experiences. However, the artist who was going to do it hurt his wrist during a camping trick. I was curious if you believe you'd be willing to help us? Please understand this is just a request and we understand this is incredibly short notice. But if you were willing to aid us, the council would be in your debt," she said, bowing her head again. Formal and refined as always.

Yayoi Kise has posed:
Yayoi Kise kind of shuffles as if to get Candy out of the view of Reika, shuffle shuffle shuffle to right. There. Another bow, another apology. "S..sorry." apologizing for the 'nothing' going on. She then listens to Reika's request as her eyes glance over to Candy now most likely behind Reika somewhere reaching for the noodles, she sweats a little but continues to speak.

"Oh.. that's horrible! I mean, that, she hurt her wrist..." she seems a little worried about this, but continues onwards. "So you need. Comics done?" her eyes light up. She can do comics. +_+.

"S--sure I can help with that! Tell me more about the comics you need, uhm."

She takes out her smartphone as if to start ready taking notes on it. Tap tap tap. Tap. *Bloop!*

Reika Aoki (143) has posed:
Reika Aoki looked, at least, relieved that Yayoi was willing to accept the request. "There's no need to apologize. As long as you don't leave a mess in the shared eating area, there's no reason to concern yourself with how you play with your stuffed animal."

Still, she was a little concerned about getting sauces mixed into the stuffing... but well, Yayoi's toy, Yayoi's perogative.

She didn't even seem to notice the doll's movement. It seemed, for now, she lacked the magical touch.

Yayoi's glimmering eyes, however, caught her somewhat offguard. She got a little sweat drop, but kept smiling. "Y-yes. They don't need to be anything fancy, just something showing students general information, such as where to locate the student aid, the library, the caffeteria," she motioned around when she said that. "The nurse's office and a few other small places. As long as it's nothing offensive or risque, you may use whichever style you like. The original artist was intending to do little lions 'hunting' the objects, I believe. But so long as the information is dispersed, we're happy to allow you to use whichever method you would find most fulfilling."

Yayoi Kise has posed:
Candy manages to get a noodle into it's mouth and SLURP right into her mouth. This is a sound. Yayoi tenses and tries to redirect attention. "Uh... Slurp! Yup. That's...that's just a game on my phone. Slurpy snake! Sorry!" she insists. "Sorry..."

Still. She listens to the idea and huhs. "Lions hunting the objects? I think I can do something like that." she thinks as she takes notes. "So how to locate these places, and general inform...ation..." she says to herself as she taps in the notes to her phone.

"Hrm, I like the lion idea, I might run with it." she says softly. "But I'd dress them all cutely in the school uniforms...!" she says.

Reika Aoki (143) has posed:
Reika Aoki blinked, a confused look on her face and starting to glance towards the source of the slurping, only to stop when Yayoi told her it was her game. "Slurpy snake?" she asked. Well, she'd never heard of that one, but whatever made her happy.

She gave an affectionate smile when Yayoi agreed. "Perfect!" she said, clapping her hands together once. "On behalf of the student council, thank you so much for your aid. Would you like to email, or have the comics written and then delivered?" she asked. "There should be somebody in the student council main office until five PM every day, but emails should be responded to within an hour or so between the hours of seven AM to five PM." She... certainly was... dedicated. She seemed happy, though! Knowing that her wonderful fellow student would be able to aid them. "And lions in the school uniform sounds absolutely perfect. Is there anything else you'd require?" she asked before pulling out a small... note card, holding it out.

It listed the size and dimensions of the comic strips.

Yayoi Kise has posed:
Yayoi Kise is happy to let things go away and bows again and apologizes... again. "S..sorry!" she goes as she sweats a little, but is glad her excuse worked and Candy is happily munching away behind them. She just relaxes again and takes notes. Good.. Good that works, she considers.

"Oh, I'll um. Draw them and then deliver them, if that's fine!" she says as she takes notes and looks at her card. She takes it and adds the dimensions to her notes and offers the card back with a bow.

"Um. N..No, I don't think so!" she says softly. "I think that's all I need to get started, I'll try to get them to you before the new term starts!" she says with a smile.

Reika Aoki (143) has posed:
Reika Aoki just smiled at her. She was so apologetic! Such a sweet thing. Still, her passion for the project was clear to see and Reika could never hold a bit of eccentric-ness against a creative sort. If she found joy in her little game, it was hardly Reika's perogative to mess with it.

"Thank you again," Reika said before getting to her feet and bowing once more. "I look forward to see your work. If... you could give us a quick basic summary of what you intend to do within the next few days, it would be highly appreciated. So we have time in case anything has to be altered. It doesn't need to be drawn, just a few quick lines should be sufficient. And..." She then gave the number and email to send any inquiries to. "I look forward to seeing your work, Kise-san."

She then turned and walked away, her hair swaying in the wind for a moment when she left. A small, gentle smile on her lips. Yes. It was all coming together. Hopefully all of their new students would have the greatest time in their lives in their new school.

Yayoi Kise has posed:
When Reika turns to leave, she deflates finally and watches her leave. She doesn't try to stop her but she 'mouuuuus' a little when she's out of earshot. "Why did I agree to that. Now I'll have to work fast and hard to get those comics done but... I really wanted to help too..." she says to Candy as she turns towards the 'plush doll'.

"It's good to help-kuru!" says Candy as she goes back to noodle slurping immediately.

"Yeah, I guess it is." Yayoi says with a smile as she goes back to her yakisoba.

"Now what was it about those decors...?" she asks Candy.
