oo2 ;; Accidental text ;; Alex likes to draw, m'kay?

[familywizard]

[Alex was doing a chalk doodle mostly because of boredom. The drawing just so happened to be of New York above and below as she had drawn what felt like years ago. She didn't know why she wanted to draw it, it just happened to be on her mind. Something from back home. Something that she truly was proud of, after all. She sent it to the network and huffed before sending a message shortly after]

Sorry about that also oh my god this is so cool!

[Except she totally wasn't and it totally was cool. Her first text to the network. In her own handwriting. Oh my god. It was beautiful.]

Uh... what was that exactly? I mean, it was cool but I've bever seen such a weird village. underground builgings and houses on the surface?

Its a picture of New York City like what people see and what really happens. Last time I made it it was a painting not a chalk drawing though

[Text]

[ahogay]

Wow, that's a pretty neat drawing.

[Text]

[familywizard]

Meh it could be better I'm not used to using chalk unless my principal isn't looking

[Text]

[ahogay]

Still better than anything I could ever do, at least. I can barely even draw stick figures. With a pencil.

[Text]

[familywizard]

Seriously? You've never just gone and started just drawing or anything? Half the time I don't even think about it dude

[Victor sees your cityscape and raises you a sketch of a butterfly, done in dark blue chalk. It's not his usual medium, but he thinks it came out pretty well regardless.]

[Text]

[familywizard]

[The seems like you want a drawing contest, Victor. Obviously not, but she'll take that butterfly and raise you a chalk sketch of her boyfriend. Headshot of Mason Greyback in a relaxed kind of way to get it's a real person but not straight up practiced art kind of thing]

That's a nice picture by the way

[Text]

[forgotten_vows]

[Ooh, that's nice. Victor's never felt as confident with people as he does with animals. Case in point, he replies with a sketch of an ant -- only this one is wearing an army coat and carrying a bayonet and rifle.]

Thank you! Your sketches are very nice as well. Chalk isn't my usual medium -- I usually work in pen and ink.

[Text]

[familywizard]

Well you're doing better than me with it since I normally use paint

[Text]

[forgotten_vows]

I paint sometimes too. Perhaps I should see about getting a set and some canvas. . .there's plenty to inspire artists around here.

I should introduce myself -- Victor Van Dort.

[familywizard]

I'm Alex Russo and you realize your name can be easily made fun of right?

[There's a smiley face after it to show that she just snorted at it and figured let him know if he wasn't aware. She's met people like that, before.]

I'm guessing you're in the same district as me though?

[For those unfamiliar with the canon, Alex, upon meeting Victor, will snort and say 'Yeah. To me, you're Victor Van Dork now. No offense.']

[Text]

[forgotten_vows]

[You can't see him, Alex, but right now he's linefacing at his chalkboard. Can Dort, Van Dock, Very Dull. . .]

Yes, I'm aware.

[At least Victor Van Dork will be on the newish side?]

Given the medium, I would say so.

looks like we have an artist in our midst.

[familywizard]

I'm so happy I actually get respect for my art here and not constantly get requests

[Seriously. The last time she wanted to paint anything she had to charm the wall to show what everyone else wanted before Justin moved her art to the school. :|]

[Text]

[garwin]

there'll be people like that everywhere. sure there'll be some ehre too.

but your art's nice. way better than mine.

[Text]

[familywizard]

I expect that don't worry and thanks

[There's a smiley face drawn after that. Not text type just a little smiley face to go with the thank you]

[Text]

[garwin]

no problem.

so what's your name? i'm reid, by the way.

Re: [Text]

[familywizard]

Name's Alex nice to meet you Reid

[Text]

[always_running]

That's really cool

[Text]

[familywizard]

Thanks

[There was a smiley face to follow, more cartoony than the picture she originally posted but still]

[Text]

[always_running]

Did you draw that?

Re: [Text]

[familywizard]

Yep I like drawing but not sso much with chalk

[Text]

[always_running]

That's really good

[Text]

[familywizard]
