RE: painter's palette - Deli - Nov 26 2019 Deli
Deli looked up when Indelia came back and let out a small happy bark when she set some blue feathers in front of them! "Yeah! Those are good! More, I want more!" They bounced to their feet and looked around for some more, but perhaps their head split between excitement and carefully watching Indelia's every move made it difficult to concentrate on their task, so they set themselves down, not dampened at all, to crushing the feathers she'd brought them. They did the same as they'd done to the green feathers, crushing them between their paws until they formed a thick paste, slathering it on the stone on the ground, in a different spot then the green, and drooling a bit to thin it up. It would have been easier if there'd been some water source nearby, but they were out of luck. @Indelia RE: painter's palette - Indelia - Nov 26 2019 Indelia grinned as Deli took the feathers and began to make them into the paste. They seemed to look, briefly, for more, before giving up. Very well then - she'll get the feathers herself. It's rather fun, and she doesn't know how to grind them up the way Deli does. So this is what she can do. @Deli RE: painter's palette - Deli - Nov 26 2019 Deli
Deli was licking the blue-colored residue off of their paws - and spitting it out, it tasted foul - when Indelia came back with some red feathers. They lit up when she set them in front of them! "Oh, very nice!" He picked up the feathers and began to crush them in their paws, thinning it with a bit of drool, and spreading it on the rock next to the other two. Now, they had a palette of red, blue, and green to play with! "And now, we paint!" They dabbed their paw into the green and began to poke at the wall, spreading bits of paint on its surface. Small streaks and lines until it formed the outline of a head. It could use more color, though! With their left paw, they dabbed it in the blue and was about to paint the wall more when an idea came to mind. What if they...combined it together? They smacked their paw pads against each other and rubbed, like they were grinding feathers, until they peeled it away, their paw pads a nice combination of the bright blue and green colors. Their smile grew wider, and far more genuine then the plastered one before. "Oh...this color...its so nice! I want to keep it!" And as their desire grew stronger in their heart, heat spread across their shoulder and the serpentine peeking from their fur began to glow. A tingling feeling ran over their paw pads as the paint was absorbed and affixed, but they didn't really seem to notice, shrugging and reaching forward to paint more on the wall. But the paint wasn't coming off their paws. Confused, they pulled their paw back and looked at it, still grinning, and running their tongue over the pad. They could taste the bit of paint on their fur that hadn't been dyed, but their paw...just tasted like paw. "Huh? Uh, oh, I think I did something!" They showed Indelia their paw pad. "It's not coming off!" @Indelia RE: painter's palette - Indelia - Nov 26 2019 Indelia watched with interest as Deli crushed the feathers and thinned them using their drool - which she thought was a little gross though she managed to hold her tongue - and then start to paint. It seemed so cool, how they could just...color the surface. @Deli RE: painter's palette - Deli - Nov 26 2019 Deli
The smile was returning when they realized that they really had just totally recolored their paw pads. Oh, that was fantastic! "I don't know! I think I used magic! I used it before but it was different, I just changed, like, how light or dark my fur was! Wait, lemme try again..." They dipped their now colored paw pad in some of the red, drawing two lines on the surface of the wall. The second one, they tried again to think and to concentrate on making it permanent, welling up that same, strange energy in their shoulder. It was getting hot and glowing for a moment before it died away. They liked their other paw and rubbed at the first line. The paint came off pretty easily, but with the second line, it didn't even smudge a little. They put their paw down. "Oh, nice! I guess it was magic, then! HEY," they yapped loudly, suddenly whipping around towards Indelia. "If you ever want to be a different color come to me! Bring stuff you need and I'll paint you!" @Indelia RE: painter's palette - Indelia - Nov 26 2019 Indelia tilted her head a little at the mention of magic. She had heard of magic before, though she'd never done any spells herself. She didn't know what kind of magic she had. Nor did she have any idea what kind of magic this was. @Deli RE: painter's palette - Deli - Nov 26 2019 Deli
Deli nodded, happy that they'd made a new friend, since apparently this constituted making a friend, and turned back to the wall. Well, now things were more interesting! They could create all kinds of wonderful paintings and never have to worry about them washing away! Dipping their paw in the red paint, they began to make lines and markings, glancing at Indelia every so often as they did. As they continued, the lines began to take the shape of a face with ears, wide, cat-like eyes, little whiskers, and stripes on its head and cheeks. It was a fairly simplistic drawing, mostly thicker lines, considering that they only had a single color to work with, but it definitely had a resemblance to Indelia and was talented enough considering Deli only had paws. Once they finished the last detail, they stepped away, tail wagging happily. "Hey! I did you! Waddya think?" @Indelia RE: painter's palette - Indelia - Nov 26 2019 Indelia started to think about what she wanted on her fur. Definitely pink - were there pink feathers? There must be - though she didn't know what design. She'd definitely have to think about it at some point. Maybe some swirls? Or just random designs? Cover her spots? So many possibilities! @Deli RE: painter's palette - Deli - Nov 26 2019 Deli
Deli waited a little on edge for Indelia's commentary, a sense of anxiety beginning to overtake them. Internally, they were absolutely losing their mind. If she turned around and said it was ugly, they didn't know if they would be able to do art ever again. Just pack it up and give it up because this one person said "no it looks bad". So when she sincerely complimented them, told them that their art was good, they warmed and smiled wider. "Thank you! I'm going to work to get so much better! Much much better!" Deli leaped up and pressed their front paws against the rock wall, just off of the lines of the painting. For a second, their gem glowed as they sent magic into the art, before it died away and the painting was forever affixed to the wall. They sat back down on their haunches and gave Indelia a flashing grin. "Hey, now you're never coming off the wall! You'll be up there forever!" @Indelia RE: painter's palette - Indelia - Nov 29 2019 Indelia watched as Deli set their paws on the stone near the painting and seemed to apply magic to it. She grinned as they told her that she'd be up there forever. She glanced back at it, at the drawing of her. Whoever passed this way would see it. They'd see her beauty - drawn by Deli, but it was her - and hopefully admire it. @Deli |
