no. 3 | Video/Handwritten

[Haruka's dumb, goofy face shows up on the network, his tongue slightly protruding from the very corner of his mouth. In his hand is a pencil, and he seems very focused on whatever it is he's writing.]

I hope I'm not causing too much trouble for any of you right now, but I had an idea. Things seem to be getting pretty complicated lately...All the stuff with those three aliens, and everything going on here and in Vegas, it's pretty hard to stay positive. But you know what cheers me up when I'm not feeling too hot?

Art! So, I'm gonna write my number down on this piece of paper, and then whatever I draw should come through to the network, right? Just like when we do handwritten messages. I thought maybe, if people were browsing the network and saw some nice art being drawn, it might distract them from their bad day, or calm them down. I know watching art in progress always helps me with my nerves!

So, here we go! [Haruka immediately begins drawing, each line being transferred over the network to show his work in progress slowly becoming more and more complete.] I'm drawing something I saw in one of the memories I got back. I know sometimes they can be pretty scary, but this one just makes me...hungry! [A laugh as he continues drawing. The drawing starts to become something more recognizable--a scene depicting rows and rows of festival stands containing all sorts of delicious food, gently tinted in the orange glow of the sunset overhead.]

Maybe I'll get some of it back one day, doesn't it look good? [Now putting the finishing touches, he diligently colors in each food item with colored pencil.] Bright and colorful! Happy food for happy people. I'm tempted to draw smiley faces on them, actually!

You know, if you haven't tried authentic japanese festival food before, I highly recommend it. My parents make this sort of stuff from time to time when they feel like we need a shot in the arm of tradition. Maybe I can invite some of you over sometime!

[After a few more minutes of diligent work and lots of Bob Ross inspired commentary, Haruka scribbles "all done!" into the corner of the picture and signs it.] And there you have it! I hope this doesn't bother you too much if you aren't interested in it, and...I guess I hope it can remind some of you to try to focus on the good things instead of the bad? Like takoyaki...

I'll try to draw on here as much as I can, maybe I'll try to depict my new memories as best I can? If it's not too troublesome, that is! I just want to share something nice with everyone, it's about all I can do right now since I'm stuck at home and I don't really have any cool powers that I can use to contribute. So...thanks for watching!

Do you draw comics or anything? I'd like to read them if you do! Reading comics is one of my favorite things to do!

I actually have an original character I draw sometimes, too. I really should make a story about her! Maybe she'll be a Numbered, too.

And sure! I'll definitely show it to you!

My name's Lucy. Do you go to LCHS, too? Or do you go to one of the other schools in Locke City? Or are you in Las Vegas?
believing_heart: (Curious.)

Great! I really look forward to it!

I hope that you'll post more of your drawings to the network. But if you're nervous about it, you can always send them to me directly!

[She provides him with her numbers. There's a brief pause before Lucy continues writing again.]

So kind of like homeschooling? Doesn't it ever get lonely?

That's really sad. But because of the Network, I was able to make lots of friends, so I know you will, too!

Besides, the two of us, we're friends now, right? Artist friends, for sure!

Colleagues, huh? I'll do my best to be a proper colleague, then!

I'd actually really like that! When you're feeling better, let me know! I can meet you at almost any place in Locke City.
