A first meeting (closed)

[nonmagical]

WHO: Mirabel and Snow White
WHERE: School grounds
WHEN: 5/22
WHAT: First meeting!
WARNINGS: None so far



[It's not that the art club met on Sundays, but sometimes Mirabel liked to paint where it was quiet. Her house could sometimes be a little chaotic - hard to paint peacefully, so she sometimes like to go paint at the school after hours. She takes a break after painting for a little while, stepping outside for a bit to feel the morning sun when she sees someone outside - another student? She's surprised to see another person here, she kind of figured she'd be out here by herself.]

¡Hola! I kinda thought I was the only one here today.

[Maybe there was some staff around? But she hasn't seen anyone yet.]

[Mirabel might be quite used to the scene of someone surrounded completely by animals but completely void of other people considering her cousin.

That was Snow at the moment. Snow had come earlier that day, watching the various clubs and programs that did meet, she had watched the water polo game that had taken place in the morning, the swim meet that followed, and she went on to watch the marching band practice, though her animal friends had asked to leave considering the loud percussion instruments hurt their ears. She was waiting for the gardening club to arrive, having been informed they had a "school beautification" project as a gift to the seniors of that year. So she went to find a quiet place to wait.

She could wait hours, she didn't mind, it meant she wasn't home. So long as it was school-related, her stepmother allowed it. It was the only thing she allowed, honestly. Somewhere, Snow was sure, Mr. Me-Or was about, tailing her so he could report everything back to mother.

She looked up from her crocheting and smiled, not recognizing this particular student from any of the clubs or teams today. She set the hook aside, one of the squirrels marking where she had stopped her row before she offered a little wave to Mirabel.]

Well, hello there.

[Mirabel comes and sits next to her, unafraid of bothering her. It doesn't even occur to Mirabel that maybe she wants to crochet peacefully, much like how Mirabel came here alone to paint.]

Hey - did you come here for the peace and quiet too?

[Even though with Mirabel here talking it's less peace and quiet...]

[Snow blinked at being sat next to, but only smiled wider at the sudden company, happy to have it. She shook her head.]

Oh no, I came to cheer on all the clubs and sports teams playing today. Water polo and the swim meet were earlier this morning. The gardening club is going to be here soon for the senior gift. They said volunteers not in the club could help, so that's why I'm here. Are you here for that as well? Or, no, I suppose you're here to paint.

I can leave if you're trying to paint still life?

[nonmagical]

Oh, that's really nice of you. I'm sure they could use someone cheering them on. I'm in the art club! But today they're not meeting, so I just came here to do a little bit of painting on my own.

[Mirabel shakes her head at her question.]

No, no, I'm taking a break! I'm having a little bit of... painter's block, I guess they call it?

[onebadapple]

I think it's important to support as many sports and clubs as possible. Everyone is doing their very best and trying as hard as they can! That is something to be celebrated!

Painter's block? You don't know what to paint?

[nonmagical]

Yeah, I'm kind of stuck? I thought I'd come outside and see if I can find some inspiration...

I've been doing a lot of painting. I guess running out of things to paint was going to happen sooner or later.

[onebadapple]

Hmm, well, what have you painted so far? Has it been a lot of abstract art or more realistic?

[nonmagical]

More realistic! I've drawn people, places, animals... I tried abstract, but I don't think I really understand it?

[onebadapple]

Well, it sounds like you've painted a lot of things, but perhaps you can paint a feeling! Whatever colors and shapes you can think of when you're sad or angry or happy!

[nonmagical]

That's... actually a really good idea. I've been feeling a lot of things lately, it'd be nice to get them all out on a canvas.

[onebadapple]

Oh, what have you been feeling? I know we just met but perhaps I can help?
