Monday: Art class

[bifurious]

Characters: Roxie Richter, any and all Fortitude students
Format: Any
This log is: open
Location: Art class
Summary: ART CLASS. Tag Roxie, or thread around amongst yourselves.
Warnings: art class

Being told she was supposed to teach art hadn't bothered Roxie. She didn't have a teaching license or anything, but whatever -- she knew art, she could teach art. She had better things to do, but she might as well help enrich the next generation's minds while she was at it. Or something.

Or so she thought until she sat down on Sunday night to come up with a lesson plan and found that she had no idea what she was doing.

Anyone coming into the art classroom on Monday morning will find Roxie sitting grumpily behind a desk. On the whiteboard behind her, she's scrawled the words, "DRAW SOMETHING."

The pain hit Shion the same time as it did Becca and he clutched his head. "I'm sorry!" He vaguely remembered something about not being allowed to touch other people's weapons, in the handbook.

When he looked up at the touch on his shoulder he paled a bit at the kid with sunglasses, who even though was a few years younger than Shion, looked angry.

"I'm sorry, I wasn't trying to hurt her!"

Becca whimpered and wrapped her arms around herself. She had more of a headache now, but that was because she was trying to remember why she was so touchy about being touched. It had something to do with the scars on her arms, but she couldn't for the life of her remember how she'd gotten them. She looked up at Dave and forced a smile, even though it was painfully obvious she wasn't feeling it.

"I'm okay... I'm okay..."

He waved his hand in a dismissive manner at Shion. He didn't think the other was trying to hurt Becca. He seemed like a legit guy. He dug around his pocket until he extracted his PDA, quickly typing into it and showed the screen to him.

didnt think you did
just thought we should ease into some air time since touching is a no go
you know like air hugs and pats
im sure the air around her will appreciate it
and she would greatly appreciate it to
think touching is a touchy subject for her???

He didn't know why thought. Dave looked back at her before folding his arms again. He didn't look convinced yet that she was just okay.

Shion was a bit worried at the lack of talking but he read the PDA, realising that maybe Dave couldn't talk. He nodded slowly, he hadn't even thought of that, that someone might be uncomfortable with even friendly gestures that involved touching. Also that it had caused her pain, because of the Warning Penalty. He felt guilty for hurting her.

"I am sorry Becca, I didn't mean to scare you. I was just worried." He looked back at Dave, he was good to come to Becca's rescue, and Shion was glad she had found a friend already.

Becca nodded weakly, grateful that Dave had come over to take attention off of her. She fidgeted nervously, still weakly trying to smile. "I'm okay, really. I just... I don't like being touched," she explained evasively. "It's all cool now, you're not touching me any more, everything's happy."

He gave Becca a thumbs up before going back to PDA.

how about we get back to this drawing shit???
since the teacher isnt really teaching
i think we could have some shitty draw off or something
assuming neither of you are not secretly master drawers
i bet you guys are but whatever
drawing with people
thats a thing right???
people do that

Because Dave honestly never did this with people before. He always kind of had his own agenda. And he couldn't really make his shitty, ironic comics with other people. Especially since they sometimes got...well they weren't usually school appropriate.

and then Katy forgot she wouldn't get a notif oops

Shion read the PDA and then nodded, "I have never drawn before," he told the boy truthfully, "Art is banned where I come from so I definitely am no master drawer." Was that a thing people did? Shion had no idea, but if Becca and this boy were up to it so was he.

"I'm Shion by the way."

"I'm an amazing artist...and that's one of the memories they took from me... If I touch the paper I'm gonna get a hideous headache," Becca sighed, putting her head down on the desk. "So you two draw... I'll take a nap or something."

Gosh. All this Debbie Downer bullshit was going to piss him off one day. But, he's already seen that anything physical would freak her out. How do you kindly tell someone to suck it up? Probably will just shrug it off and head back to his seat so he can stare at blank paper again.

i draw a lot
but i guess ironic internet comics
means that being a good artist doesnt really apply
