[nope's peak - day 8 - date with kiyo]

[artisticliberty]

[in the science room, yusuke has just finished setting up his easel and other supplies, which include props and costumes from the theatre, as well as some plants from the greenhouse. there's also a small box of some snacks and drinks set aside for them, in case anyone gets hungry. (he made onigiri) he's waiting patiently for kiyo to show up.]

Comments

This is late. Sorry.

[justpure]

[Kiyo arrives a couple of minutes late, but he looks much more presentable than usual.]

Good afternoon, Yusuke-kun. I hope I didn't keep you waiting too long.

no worries!

[artisticliberty]

No, not at... all...

[yusuke trails off as he glances over at the doorway and at what kiyo is wearing]

[justpure]

[It seems Kiyo has chosen an outfit for himself... The mask is still there, of course.]

Is something wrong?

[artisticliberty]

[yusuke's face lights up and he makes finger frames to peer at kiyo through them, visibly delighted]

You look magnificent! What a beautiful figure you strike. I was not expecting this from you.

[justpure]

[And he is very daintily touching where his lips probably are under that mask.]

Keh heh heh... Thank you, Yusuke-kun. I knew you were one for beauty, so I decided to try dressing up as a local legend from my home country.

Perhaps you could guess who I'm portraying?

[HINT: He went all the way to use icy blue eyeshadow on his pale face.]

[artisticliberty]

[he chuckles]

I thought as much when I saw you. You remind me of the Yuki-onna; I can picture you amidst a flurry of snow, as though formed from the snow-peaked mountainside.

[justpure]

Keh heh heh... Was the costume that obvious?

[You guessed it! You was right!]

I figured you might find inspiration from this.

[artisticliberty]

Is that how you'd like me to paint you? Emerging from the blizzard, luring the viewer into a dream?

[because he's so ready to do that. hell yes.]

[justpure]

Hm... I was thinking of sitting under a snowy tree, but your idea works better...

[This is gonna be so much fun.]

[artisticliberty]

[yusuke grins]

Let us find an appropriate pose for you, then.

[he moves some props around and hangs some white sheets to create a pseudo-snowy background set for kiyo to try out some poses]
