32. Community Service [video]

[angle_on_it]

[Hello there, Adstringendum, it's your friendly neighborhood tribesman showing his smiling face to the network. For those not in the know, this is actually a bit of an uncommon thing for Sokka recently, so hopefully his enthusiasm can make an impression all around.]

Things have been rough lately, so I've got a few positive announcements I want to make.

First of all, Juliet and I are planning to start a community art project, and we want everyone here to have an option to be involved, regardless of artistic talent. Spirits know, I'm not exactly a great artist, but I'll be submitting some stuff anyway.

So, what do you need to do? Send us your art, of course! We'd like to have a visual history of what sticks out for you and your time here in the city: Special events, important moments, anything you'd want to illustrate. If you can provide a date along with it, all the better. Juliet and I have supplies, so all you need to do is ask and we'll get those to you if you need them or want them. When we've got everything collected, we'll put it into a gallery and it'll be like a visual history of Adstringendum. Pretty neat, huh?

Here's an example I did the other day.

Second point of order? We're still looking for people to join the Adstring City Players. We've got quite a few people interested now, but the more the merrier. Additionally, we're looking for story ideas. What do you guys want to see? Is there a particular genre we should focus on? Or even ones we should avoid? The more feedback we have on this, the better.

Annnd... [Blinking as he refers to some paper off screen.] Oh, no. That's it. So, um, thanks for your time, guys.



[[OOC: Feel free to submit art here, or you can PM me with a link on this account. I can also provide resources (paper bases, links to online art programs, etc.) I realize some characters might be better artists than their muns, so you can cheat if you find something that could work, but please include a source link so it can be properly credited. Should we have enough submissions, I will totally find somewhere public to put them for posterity!]]

Excellent! [Aaaand, if he weren't holding his PCD, he'd be clapping. This is going to work out fabulously!]

[singinghuntress]

[There are just some people that bring out the innocent child in her~. Sokka should be relieved he's one of them.]

Ja~. Now to gazher supplies~.

[angle_on_it]

If there's anything you need, let me know. I can probably dig up a lot of different things.

[singinghuntress]

Hm.. actually Sokka, I do not haf any paintbrushes. Vould you haf zome?

[angle_on_it]

I do, actually. I've had to make a few, so I've gotten pretty good at it. I use animal hair. Is that okay?

[singinghuntress]

Animal hair vorks perfectly~.

[angle_on_it]

Pretty sure I have three or four different sizes. You want to borrow them all?

[singinghuntress]

Zhat vould be vonderful if you do not mind.

[angle_on_it]

I don't mind -- not in the least. I think I've already embarrassed myself enough with my art, so it'll be nice to have someone doing something impressive with them.

[singinghuntress]

[Snickers softly.]

Oh I don't know. Zhe drawing on your post iz not bad.

[angle_on_it]

Really? You're about the first to say so without snickering. Thanks, Rip!

[singinghuntress]

You are velcome! Zhe style iz a little primative, but pleazing I zhink. Zo, it iz not bad.

[angle_on_it]

I think people could say I'm a little primitive, so it works out. And I'll keep trying. Everyone improves with time, right?

[singinghuntress]

Zhat is zhe theory~.
