[She was quiet last month, wasn't she. Well, she's decided to show her face today. She's perched on a chair with a very fluffy puppy in her lap. Peanut nibbles at her fingers as she wiggles them absentmindedly in front of his nose. She's staring at something, which she does eventually pick up the camera in order to share.

She turns the view onto a a large and haphazard stack of canvases that are dominating her one-room flat. There are a few pieces fully in view, expressive of disparate moods. 1, 2, 3, 4.

The piece sitting on the easel itself is a portrait of a man that only two people in this city would recognize, besides her. She had told one of them, once, that she preferred it that way. To keep the ghost buried. But she seems to have changed her mind about that, or maybe she's just resigned herself to something because in the corner where a signature might have otherwise gone are the words 'never gone.' (Before Carla says anything, Peanut gives a few trilling little sounds, rolling out of her lap and thumping to the floor. She sighs and picks him back up.)]


So... what do I do with these now?

[It was a flaw in her plan, really. She likes the sense of productivity when she's painting, but... she can't say she likes looking over her work. She'd never painted anything of her own, before the City. Counterfeiters didn't make profit on their creative efforts. Now she can see her own thoughts in colors and angles.]

Maybe a bonfire...

You could try selling them.

Even if you don't need the money.

[A distracted Carla isn't a bad thing.]

I do. They're actually quite good.

No. I assumed you had a reason for trading for fully functional hands.

Dogs, dogs, dogs.

Aren't you done with dogs yet?

Is it the loyalty or the drool?

[personal profile] synanthrope 2012-12-03 01:31 am (UTC)(link)
Well, it's an admirable enough trait.

[personal profile] synanthrope 2012-12-03 01:55 am (UTC)(link)
Then why does it matter to you?
synanthrope: (Saya - profile)

How can anyone enjoy what they don't understand?

Yes.

[Thank you for making him feel stupid. At least you're predictable, Carlala.]
othersdie: are you exiled in those bottomless nights? (She never notices)

[personal profile] othersdie 2012-12-03 03:08 am (UTC)(link)
That depends. What would you ask for the one with the eyeless woman?
synanthrope: (Saya - consideration)

[personal profile] synanthrope 2012-12-03 03:22 am (UTC)(link)
Are you saying you're irrational?
synanthrope: (Saya - predator's gaze)

[personal profile] synanthrope 2012-12-03 03:25 am (UTC)(link)
And I didn't.
