Transaction 002 [Audio]

[bespectacledsnake]

Tell me, Hadriel, I am curious. Are there any artists here? 

I will admit I am not an artist myself, but I do consider myself a collector and you see I'd like to...well, let us say... update this house a little bit. 

[Watch out, Newt, he's decorating.] 

If you are interested I am certain we could find some arrangement by way of payment.

[bespectacledsnake]

You and I both know I have no idea what that is.

[But he can take an educated guess based on Newt's personality that it is his dismay at the prospect of the house being changed]

You have no need to worry, Newton. If you dislike any of the changes you will, as owner of the house, have final say. And none of your things will be disturbed.

[You just had to be a buzzkill, didn't you, Sem???]

Oh, come on. You know damn well what it means! You just said—what are you planning to do to the house, anyway? You gotta at least, like, run this stuff by me, dude.

[bespectacledsnake]

[Semiyon's voice is his ever calm, ever laid back tone]

At worst I plan to hang up a couple paintings, Newton. Is this so bad?

[am_i_a_monster]

What kind of art are you interested in?

[bespectacledsnake]

I am very eclectic. So I was curious to see why styles the artists here might have.

[am_i_a_monster]

I draw. Mostly pencil sketches. I like to use charcoals and organic heavy paper, when I can find it.

[bespectacledsnake]

And what is it that you sketch, young lady?

[abyssalarcana]

i might oblige you with some calligraphy if youre interested

not my usual but it could be fun to create

[bespectacledsnake]

I would be very interested.

[abyssalarcana]

lets discuss over drinks then. i have ideas for payment

[bespectacledsnake]

I am sure you do.

[A playful tone]

Just tell me the when and wear, Caedra, and I will be there.

[wantsnudes]

I am a painter. I can show you a sample of my works, but what manner of payment did you have in mind in return...?

Re: voice.

[bespectacledsnake]

Well payment is to be negotiated with each individual artist as I imagined they'd be interested in different things. Would there be any payment in particular you'd have in mind?

voice.

[wantsnudes]

If you have any means of procuring more art supplies for me than might be readily found around the city, I would be very grateful.

[bespectacledsnake]

I would have to do some research, but this could potentially be arranged. What is it you have managed to find so far and what is it you would need?

[sneaklizard]

Can't say much about myself, but I got a bud who's really good at making stuff out of wood.

[bespectacledsnake]

Well I'd definitely appreciate talking to them. Do they sculpt in wood as well?

[sneaklizard]

Yeah! He's really good at that. And making furniture.

His name's Magnus. Have you met him? Big guy, carries around an axe, sideburns?

[hasitsthorns]

Sorry, I'm only a musician. I can't paint to save my life.

[bespectacledsnake]

Being gifted with music is never something to apologize for.

[hasitsthorns]

Ah, well- I just mean, it doesn't help a whole lot, most of the time.

Kind of feels like a pretty useless skill.

[nonscriptum]

I...draw?

[Nate would consider it "art." The Met probably wouldn't.]

[bespectacledsnake]

Why do you sound so uncertain?

[nonscriptum]

I'm not! I mean- I can draw, they're good drawings-

[He doesn't sound defensive, just earnest.]

-just not something you'd see in the Uffizi.
