WHEN: 6/27
WHAT: Vague teenage angst
WARNINGS: .... Vague teenage angst

[The video opens with Mirabel setting at a desk, and there's... crumpled up paper around her. She's got her face in her hands, and gives a loud groan.]

Ughhh, I can't think of anything to draw or paint lately!

It's just one big blank!

I just... don't even feel like painting or drawing.

This is the worst.

[Oh no, maybe there's something going on not related to painting angst that Mirabel's going through?]

Oh dear, you still have painter's block? You poor thing. Maybe you need a change in setting!

[nonmagical]

Yeah...

I just... don't really feel like painting much right now.

[onebadapple]

Well goodness, you certainly don't have to, Mirabel! Take a break from it if you want. Do something else. If you would like, we could go for a walk on the beach?

[nonmagical]

... A walk on the beach would be nice right now.

[Because she's feeling pretty lousy right now.]

Video;

[onebadapple]

Alright, to the beach we go! Leave all that work right there, don't touch a single paintbrush, missy!

video -> action

[nonmagical]

[Mirabel smiles weakly.]

No touching paintbrushes, I promise. See you there in a little bit.

[And Mirabel will head out of Casita and towards the beach!]

[a_cute_batata]

Oh, that's the worse! I hate when I have artists' block!

Does that happen often?

[ Moana doesn't reply immediately, as she takes another moment to study the other girl. Given some of the things she's heard, the timing of this is a little suspicious.

Hmm... ]

Everything okay?

[nonmagical]

It hasn't happened recently...

I just. Can't paint anything right now.

[Because she's sad.]

[Mirabel is quiet for a moment, then sighs.]

Not really.

Ohhhhhhh: artist's block. That happens sometimes, Kiddo. You need to give yourself a break- let those creative juices fill up agian.

[speaksanimal]

Maybe I can help you out? I can give you some ideas on what to draw and it'll help you not have a blank anymore!

video, un: Mariposa

[nonmagical]

Mm... I think I'll do that. Maybe take a long break. I'll see how I feel about it later.

[She's definitely not feeling up for it now.]

Voice; un: Mariposa

[nonmagical]

Thanks, Antonio. [She's not in the mood to draw anything, but she'll do just pretty much anything for him.] What kind of ideas did you want me to draw?

[imaglyphwitch]

Hmm. You know, when that happens to me? I usually just go out with my sketchbook with no plan. I just kinda get to a high place and people watch for a little while, see what feels natural before I start to sketch something.

Do you think it's anything specific that's holding you back?

[speaksanimal]

How about a tiger in the woods? That would be a good one to start!

[Pause]

Maybe you can even add in a bunch of animals too if you want.

[wedonttalkabout]

[Bruno's just going to assume she's bummed out about the art thing. ]

See? That works wonders. You just gotta clear your head sometimes, is all. Like emptying a pot of water, to let some fresh in, y'know?

[Snow White had texted Mirabel her location leaning up against a stone fence that separated the biking path and the beach trails as she was currently responding to a text from her stepmother. Surrounding Snow White were seagulls, a sea lion had made his way up the beach to relax at her feet, piper birds, pelicans, several crabs, and even a pigeon or two.

The sea lion let out a long bark to let Snow White that Mirabel was approaching, and she stood up and smiled, waving to Mirabel.] Mirabel! Over here!

[Action]

[nonmagical]

[Mirabel sees Snow White and jogs the rest of the way towards her.]

Hey! How are - is that a sea lion?

[... Come to think of it, she's never seen a sea lion in person.]

[nonmagical]

... I guess.

My friend from art club is moving away.

I haven't really felt like drawing since then.

[nonmagical]

Yeah, I just don't... want to draw at all.

[He's trying, and she's tempted to just leave it at that, but...]

My friend from art club is moving. I don't feel like drawing anymore.

[nonmagical]

Oh, a tiger in the woods would be really cool! What kind of other animals would you like to see?

[a_cute_batata]

I'm sorry, that sounds cruddy.

Were the two of you close? I mean, were they the one that taught you art, or did you both just have a lot in common?

[prontissimo]

Draw your dreams. That'll help. Orrr go do something else and try again later. Go make something.

[ Said with an air of authority on the matter. ]

[speaksanimal]

Oh, maybe a cheetah too! The tiger would be only if they're the only cat like animal around! Or maybe a cat too.

Anything to make the tiger less lonely.
