> The Mall. Exactly what it says on the tin! Dodge the hordes of teenage mallrats or take part, whichever suits your tastes.
> Rainy Day. Agh, it's fucking awful out. And is it raining those vermilion things?? Now you've got an Echo to contend with on top of everything else. Find some shelter, quick!
> PUBLIC TRANSPORTATION. HOW FUN
> Arts and Crafts Fair. All the kitschy fun you can imagine.
> Wild Card! Make up your own.

[Hm. Archer squints at the girl. She doesn't look familiar, but perhaps it's because his vision is a little obscured by the dark lenses of the sunglasses he wears outside of school. He slides them down his beaky nose a little so he can get a better look at her. Still not ringing a bell.]

Thank you?

Do you know where I can find the, ahem, fine art? Like the sort of painting you might see in a museum.

[Those are... some pretty intimidating eyes there, Eq. Rakka's kind of regretting walking up to you now, but whatever.

She tugs on a bit of her tangled, brown hair in thought.]

Uh, "fine art"? Well, you'd probably find it... in a museum. These paintings are pretty nice though, right?

Unfortunately, the Locke Museum of Art is singularly lacking in what I'm looking for.

[No nude musclebeasts anywhere. Oh right, forgot to mention that this kid's first echo was the knowledge that musclebeast nudes are Fine Art.]

I suppose these here are fine... but they're a bit plebian for my tastes.

[His comment gets a small glare. She put a whole lot of work into some of those paintings.

Well, either way it's a shame that's what Equius is looking for, because...]

It is, huh? Well, what're you looking for that's so amazing?

[And now... he gets kind of awkward. Because yes, it's definitely fine art, but also it's nudes.]

Ah. Something a bit more... classical.

[Nude.]

[Well... that just means she has to get a little awkward, because she's still new at this "social" thing and... this was suddenly kind of weird.]

Classical? Like... angels and demons and stuff?

[Because she's actually all over that if it is.]

Like... Greeks.

[THAT'S A GOOD CODE WORD FOR NUDE, RIGHT?]

Greek?

Oh! So like, horses and warriors and stuff like that.

[That's cool too. She still doesn't get the whole nude thing though.]

I think we have one or two of that kinds of stuff.

Edited 2014-01-29 05:34 (UTC)

Yes! Horses and warriors!

[WHO ARE NUDE.]

Well we, uh, have a few paintings like that over here.

[She leads the man over to another part of the fair. She gestures to a Greek painting of horses charging.]

I think this is a good one.

[Archer peers at the painting. It's a normal horse, not one of the god-like horsemen from the fine art he'd stumbled upon on the internet.]

Hrm.

[It's a very nice horse, though.]

Much closer.

[If he can't find what he's looking for, he might very well get this one.]

It's still not what you're looking for, is it?

[Honestly, she knew plenty of picky people, but this guy was up there.]

What are you looking for anyway?

[Give him a second to figure out how to word this in a way that doesn't make him seem lewd.]

The proud unification of horse and man.

So like... cavalry?

[She's not good with people, Equius. Roll with it.]

Or... Centaurs?

Centaurs!

[THAT SOUNDS PROMISING!]

Well.... there is this one painting over here.

[Once more, she leads Equius to another painting>]

I think the birds are nice in this one personally.

[Oh.

It's not what he came to find. But oh, it's beautiful. He must have it.]

How much?

W-wait, you want to buy this?

[Someone actually wants to buy this]

Are... a-are you sure?

Oh yes.

[Oh dear, how much is this? He only brought a few twenties with him to this art fair. Everything else is in the bank. Will the artist take a check?]

That is, if it's within my means.

It's uh... fifty bucks I think.

[Honestly, it's not even her favorite painting here. It's not even one of hers.]

You must really like horses, don't you?

They are a noble beast.

[That means yes.]

Right....

They do look really nice in pictures like this, don't they?
