Mars: remember how you got paint all over my jacket?
Mars: hypothetically speaking
Mars: if i wanted to do that to the rest of my clothes
Mars: would you be game for helping?

[artisticliberty]

[Garnet is typing...]

Garnet: What a wonderful idea.
Garnet: Of course I am game.
Garnet: Do you need paint? I have plenty.

[foolmetwice]

[. . . relief. . .]

Mars: paint and an eye for aesthetic
Mars: both of which you can provide

[artisticliberty]

Garnet: You are correct.
Garnet: Do you have any color preferences? I assume red is on the table, which we have.

[foolmetwice]

Mars: red is my position color
Mars: i want to use every color BUT red

[artisticliberty]

Garnet: It suits your complexion so well, though.
Garnet: But I understand.
Garnet: Bring your clothes to Taisho when you are ready.

[foolmetwice]

Mars: oh, uh
Mars: thanks?
Mars: can i come over now?

[artisticliberty]

Garnet: Yes. I will prepare my room.

[foolmetwice]

[!!!]

[is it okay to be happy about this]

Mars: great.
Mars: see you soon

[and by soon he means in ten minutes when there is a knock on Taisho’s door]

[artisticliberty]

[fox answers it shortly, wearing this outfit (+ kanzashi) since it's time for GETTIN' DIRTY]

There you are. Please, come in.

[foolmetwice]

[Mars is in his pajamas! but he is carrying all four of his HSS outfits]

Nice place you’ve got here.

[artisticliberty]

We need windows, but I quite enjoy it in here otherwise.

[it's 100% his aesthetic tbh. fox heads towards his room, which has several paintings both finished and in progressed hanging on the walls, including one that's a straight-up nude of yasuragi, so.

he has a bunch of paint set out on the floor and what looks like certain colors being mixed together.]

[foolmetwice]

[definitely eyeing the paintings when he enters, including that nude painting not because it’s nude but because it’s a damn good painting]

Could you buy windows. . .?

[artisticliberty]

Shu was planning to buy some for the common area, but I could buy some for my room. Perhaps I'll do that later.

[fox sits cross-legged on the floor and continues to mix colors, so there's a wide variety to choose from]

[foolmetwice]

I think you should. It'd open up the place a whole lot.

[takes a seat next to him, spreading out his clothing across the floor as he does so]

[. . . he reaches for some blue paint-- bright blue, like Fox's position color-- first]

[artisticliberty]

[fox smiles when he sees mars reach for that color]

I mixed some indigo, as well. I thought you might like that.

[foolmetwice]

[oh]

I'll take it. . . but what made you think that I'd like it?

[dipping a brush into the paint as he talks]

[artisticliberty]

It's bold and vibrant, and clashes a bit with other colors, but by itself it is beautiful.

[said as though that's all the reason he needs]

[foolmetwice]

[. . . ah. . .]

[something about that description resonates with Mars, and he pauses, brush held over the jacket of his first outfit]

I guess I'll use that color next.

[artisticliberty]

[fox holds up a brush for himself]

May I?

[foolmetwice]

[. . . the smallest of smiles]

Of course.

[artisticliberty]

[he dips his brush in the blue and paints a swirling, dancing pattern over one of the sleeves]

This will certainly be eye-catching.

[foolmetwice]

And that is the point.

[Mars gives his paintbrush a clever flick and spatters blue dots all across the chest area of his jacket]

[artisticliberty]

[he chuckles]

At this rate, it will look as though I've stolen all your clothes at least once.

[foolmetwice]

[shrugs!!]

People can think whatever they want when they see it. No skin off of my nose.
