MarinaNova Asylum

[Hi Marina! There's a clothed Viking on your video. He's had a chance to fill half of Sookie's closet with new clothes and right now he's wearing a pair of jeans, a black wife beater and a black leather jacket. No, it's not a long trench coat. He'll let other vampires in the prison wear that look.]

Sex licenses. Isn't that a bit invasive? Particularly considering I'm unable to produce children in that manner. I am curious about them though. Are they common here or is everyone pretending to be chaste and pure?

[He starts to switch the feed off then pauses, as if considering something a moment. Since his arrival, he's gotten into three brawls over Sookie. He's been here three days. He feels that's a bit excessive and eventually he's bound to destroy something in a brawl. It might do to issue warnings now while it's on his mind and before it becomes a punishable offense.]

There is a prisoner here by the name of Sookie Stackhouse. I'm certain many of you know her. There's been a few misunderstandings lately that have resulted in altercations. I feel I should warn everyone else before another breaks out.

[Pause for dramatic effect because whether he'll admit it or not, Eric is dramatic.]

Sookie is mine. Any offense made toward her will result in the offender having to deal with me. Believe me when I say that robots and any punishment they may decide to level at me will not stop me from ripping your head from your shoulders if you touch her.

[Cue beatific politician's smile]

Have a wonderful evening.

[ if you've seen any of the fliers that Soubi had taken the liberty of posting over the last few days, then you know that Marina Nova's first art class is being held outdoors at Quatro Park in Sector 4. Soubi has an assistant, today--Reki's come along to join him, and will be helping out during class.

if you still have your sketch books from classes at Marina, then Soubi lets you know that you're free to use them--and if not, then he has fresh ones on hand. there is a table set up and piled with various media: colored pencils, chalk, pastels, and even some paints. the supplies are there to be experimented with, and they're for anyone's use.

the focus of today's class is color.

Soubi's made up some color wheels, and you all get one. he talks about analogous colors and complementary colors, and how colors behave in context--what colors make others seem brighter, and how color can even make a shape appear larger or smaller, depending on its use. he has everyone draw a red square against five different background colors--black, white, orange, light blue, and green--and points out how differently the red behaves with each of them.

and with theory out of the way, he sets everyone free to do as they like. the park is colorful enough to provide some inspiration. both he and Reki will be around, so feel free to speak with either of them, and talk among yourselves. ]

(ooc: i wanted to get this post up before the end of the week--but unfortunately, i won't have internet again until late on monday. so apologies if tags are slow and/or nonexistent until then! )
