Have you guys ever made a really poor decision? I'm not talking about the poor decision that a great number of us made yesterday to go down Azurecrest Hill (worth it), but something that has larger consequences and can even be habit-forming? I have made such a poor decision. Over the summer, I allowed myself to get pulled into the dark world of gambling. It started off so innocently - a dragot here, a dragot there, and I was even making money, at one point. But the next few times the 60-sided dice rolled, they did not do so in my favor.

One thing that is important to note about bad people: they do not always act like bad people. They're not all grumpy and projecting this air that they are going to beat you to a pulp. They can smile. They can joke around. They can seem approachable. And it's those bad people that you should really be on the lookout for, because when they start to resemble the bad person you're used to avoiding, you're in deeper shit with them than you ever would have been with the others.

Long story short, I am now taking commissions.
Sketches: 5 dragots.
Ink drawings: 8 dragots.
Colored drawings: 12 dragots.
Non-portrait paintings: 20 dragots.
Portraits: 25 dragots.

They wouldn't let me put it up, something about me not actually being the owner of it. I was mad about it at the time, but I suppose that's a good thing, yeah? Mom wouldn't be too happy.

Well, I suppose that makes sense. You wouldn't want your momma hearing anything about this. I can't think what I'd possibly want a painting of, though.

For you, I could send you possible designs for your unprofessional matchmaker business cards.

Oh, that'd be mighty helpful! How much would that be?

5 dragots if you want three options, 2 dragots for each additional one after that.

That's reasonable enough. Let's do it! I'm glad I could help out, even if it's not with very much money. Besides, it's been a while since I got to have more of your artwork to put in my room, and we oughta fix that.

You are a sympathetic and generous soul, Bae Hartman. I appreciate your business.

(And I'll be sure to give you some more artwork during a not-commission-filled period of my life.)

Aw, shucks. You're a friend, and so of course I'm gonna do what I can to help. You ain't need to flatter me.

(That'd be real nice! I don't think I've gotten anything from you since last semester, and that's a shame if I ever heard one.)

Sympathetic, generous, and modest. 3/3.

(I agree. I'll make sure that whatever you get surprises you.)

Let me know if you have branding colors you want incorporated into the designs.

Cut that out!

(I do love a surprise. I'd try and do something for you back, but my skills are pretty limited. But if you ever want love advice, I'm your girl.)

I think for the general card, I want something in cream, pink, and reds. Valentine's Day sorts of colors, you know? And, what with spring coming up, if you could try something specific to that season: pastel colors? That'd be a real help. Spring's the best season for romance after summer.

(You know you're my official love guru. Once you get your business cards made, I'll have one in my wallet to carry at all times.)

Then let me make you four designs, one for each season. I'll keep you at 5 dragots though, since I want to do this for you and you're not requesting it.

(I love that you're gonna make me business cards and then carry 'em around with you in case you need to send someone my way. You're a keeper, Luis Pinheiro.)

Are you sure? I'm willing to pay the difference. I mean, it's for a good cause anyway.

(Well, that's one reason, but the main reason is because what if I need you?)

I'm sure. It's a Bae-only discount.

(Sugar, you always know where to find me if you need me. You don't need my card. Not that I'm stopping you from taking it, mind.)

Well, okay. I'm not going to talk you outta treating me special. Let's be real. I deserve it.

No arguments here.

Flatterer. What are you doing for Christmas break?

(Look at how well you take care of me.)

Going back to Oakland, opening my presents early because there will be paints I'll want to use as soon as I'm home. You?

(Just returning the favor ♥)

Your parents let you open your presents early? Momma'd smack me with a spoon if I dared to try.

BAE/PIN:
I'm thinking of doing some state hopping, personally. Christmas at the Hartman home gets kinda tense, and I'm not always in the mood for that mess.

It's not so much that they "let me" and more like they realized that if they don't allow it to happen, I'm just going to do it behind their backs and they'll miss out on my happy face.

Oh yeah? Road trip for the holidays?

You sound like you musta been quite a headache to raise, Pinheiro. I'm impressed.

BAN:
Yeah, why not? I hear California's nice. And it won't be cold, which is a big plus.

Did you think I was an angel?

If you're going to Cali you'll have to come visit me in Oakland.

No offense, baby, but you never screamed angel to me. You just never screamed demon neither.

BAN:
Whereabouts in Cali is that? I don't know where I'm gonna end up yet, mind.

It's northern California, so...not warm.

Annoying. The word you're looking for is annoying.

BAN:
Which would defeat the whole purpose of my trip. I'll think about it. I like your face, but I also want to try this surfing thing I've been hearing so much about.

Nah, I nailed it with persistent.

BAN:
Well, I guess I can take a trip south for an afternoon if I really want to see you.
