So, are we allowed to like, paint? Or decorate these places?

I'm kinda getting tired of just seeing blank walls and it's...

I've been here a few months. I'd like to feel a little more homey.

[There's a few images that follow, mostly of the blank walls and standard setup of the home. There's small evidences of mess and the space being lived in, but little in the way of decoration.]

If we can, could someone help me with that? Please

[It's not said, but it's clear Tsuna is a little homesick.]

[Yusuke sees 'paint' and immediately begins a reply--]

What kind of painting would you like to do? Merely one solid shade, or something more elaborate?

[theskyaccepts]

I was just thinking a solid shade, and then maybe hanging something on it? Just something to make it not blank

[And with that, we have exhausted Tsuna's interior design skills.]

[motifs]

And what would you hang? Art? A plant of some kind? You must consider the ramifications of placement, as well!

[theskyaccepts]

Hie? Really?

I mean. I was just thinking like, a poster or some shelves or something. Kinda like what I have back home. I don't think I could do a plant.

I just want it to look nice

[motifs]

You should treat it with gravitas, as it is the place in which you will thrive from hereon out! A poster? That is thinking too small! Think bigger!

[theskyaccepts]

[This sounds serious. Maybe he should think about it more, beyond just a place to stay temporarily.]

I...uh...what's even bigger than a poster? Like, a painting or something?

even if we can't, i say fuck 'em. do whatever the hell you wanna do.

[theskyaccepts]

I just don't want the locals any more mad at us. Or like, keep contributing to that.

[But he's probably going to do it.]

[grappler]

they're not that nitpicky. so fuck 'em. do whatever you wanna do.

[theskyaccepts]

Alright, then I will. It's not like anyone needs to see the inside anyway.

[grappler]

good. let me see what it's like when you're done.

[theskyaccepts]

Hie? Uh, sure?

[Have a girl over? Just like that?

Painting doesn't take that long, right?

[grappler]

[she's gay though, so...]

probably not. just depends on if you want a splash of color or wanna go all picasso on the walls.

[theskyaccepts]

I was just thinking solid colours for the walls. And then maybe hanging something.

Art's never been a strong point.

[grappler]

well whatever. probably some artists around here if you decide to do something too.

[theskyaccepts]

Seems like it. I...didn't realize it was so important when it came to decorating.

[grappler]

it's whatever you want it to be. i don't really got anything going on at my place, so it is what it is.

[theskyaccepts]

Yeah, this was more stuff my mom would worry about.

Did you...want anything going on? At your house I mean?

[grappler]

i think i'm good right nw to be honest. my...

[gfkhdfgd]

roommate has conspiracy shit all over the walls right now anyway

[theskyaccepts]

Like...corkboards and string and all that?

[grappler]

yeeeep. ain't that fun?

[theskyaccepts]

Sounds like it would get real messy really fast.

[laserguy]

Go for it.

And if someone whines about it, tell them to mind their own business. It's not like you're bothering them.

text;

[theskyaccepts]

It shouldn't. I was mostly planning on painting the inside.

I think the outside's fine for now.

[laserguy]

If you're sure, don't let them bother you.

But what do you plan on painting? Or the colors you're picking.

[theskyaccepts]

I'll try my best.

I was sorta thinking orange. But not like, bright orange. More like a sunset.

[laserguy]

Just say the word and I'll come over and kick their ass. Part of my duties as club president.

Huh, okay. Assuming that's your favorite color? I'd offer to help, but I'm probably not the best person to help with paint and everything.

[theskyaccepts]

I'll keep that in mind, but hopefully nothing will happen.

[But it makes him smile anyway. It's nice to have friends who have your back. Though it does make him miss his friends back home.]

Kinda yeah.

I mean, I'm not that good at it either. It's just putting it on the walls, right?

[laserguy]

Pretty sure?

[Spoken like a true master that's never painted in his life before.]

Just coat everything and make sure that you don't miss a spot. I mean it doesn't take a rocket scientist to do something like that.

[theskyaccepts]

[Works for Tsuna. He doesn't have that much more experience in these matters.]

Guess the only thing would be trying not to make a mess, right?

[laserguy]

Or make the biggest mess as possible and go with that. There's probably some famous painter that does stuff like that.

[Scott painting a house and painting a canvas are two different things.]

[theskyaccepts]

I mean, I know I'm probably gonna make some kinda mess, but I'd rather it not be a big one.

I definitely shouldn't be compared to a famous painter.]

[laserguy]

If it's that important, put some papers around or a large cloth, so you can easily dispose of it later.

Maybe, but art's weird anyway.

[theskyaccepts]

Right, I'll do that.

Tell me about it. I don't think I'll ever get it.

[laserguy]

Let me know when you've finished, I want to see what you've done with your place.

[Not that he can fully appreciate the new color or anything, but.]

[theskyaccepts]

Sure! I'm not sure I'm prepared to throw a big party, but I'll do something once it's ready

[breakin_ur_lore]

I think the houses are ours. You don't have to ask for permission to decorate.

[It sounds fun, actually...

I'll help you out.

apologies for the delay

[theskyaccepts]

yeah, that's what people are saying. Kinda glad that's the case.

You would? I'd appreciate the help. I've never really had to paint before.

same here lol :D

[breakin_ur_lore]

Me neither! But it can't be too hard, right? As long as we can get the paint.

There's other stuff you could do to decorate, too. Like...curtains? I know a tiny bit of sewing...

[theskyaccepts]

Yeah, everyone's saying that it's pretty straightforward.

I hadn't really thought of curtains or anything, but that would be good to have. I've never sewed before, so I could definitely use help with that.

[He'd make a mess for sure.]

[breakin_ur_lore]

[He's actually not sure if he's capable of sewing together curtains. All he knows is basic mending, things that one might teach an adventurous kid who tends to rip his clothes climbing on trees and such. But hey! Why not give it a try?]

There's a shop in town that sells bolts of fabric. You probably need...like...cotton? Or linen? Nothing too heavy, probably, right?

I'm not sure about where to go for the paint though...got any leads?

[theskyaccepts]

[Tsuna has about the same level, or possibly less, crafting ability. Surely they can muddle through.]

Those sound right but there's probably someone I can ask.

I think I saw a shop for that, but I'll also ask around. Guess I've got my work cut out for me.

[breakin_ur_lore]

[Right?! That's how you get better at things! Probably.]

Hmm...do you have a color in mind? There's gotta be somewhere to get it...or make it?

[theskyaccepts]

I was thinking orange, but like, a darker sort of orange. Like a sunset. Not bright.

So, hopefully they have that. Or at least red and yellow.
