"Then take some classes and come back."

"Aw. But then it could be just like a tattoo without the pain!"

"Having a colorful tattoo of whatever your overly cheerful mind came up with anywhere on my body, even if no one would see it, sounds unpleasant. I'm positive no classes that cater to beginning artists can be completed in the next few hours."

●

"No skill worthwhile takes hours to do. It's why I never bothered with chemistry. Besides, art takes a lot of practice to do."

Jackson frowned. "You're no fun."

2015-11-01 09:02:21

🌀

"The word 'fun' isn't in my vocabulary. Did you just call art pointless?"

2015-11-01 09:05:21

●

"No I called art something I've been doing every damn day since little Ivory could hold a fucking crayon properly. It's a terrible addiction you never give up."

"That's not Ivory says! And they'd let me do it!"

2015-11-01 09:07:04

🌀

"There are worse addictions to have. Well, interestingly enough, /we're two different people/! Wait, she called me fun?"

2015-11-01 09:08:50

●

"A few times?" Ivory spoke.

"Fun enough to let me paint on you."

2015-11-01 09:09:39

🌀

I went quiet for a second. Really? ...wow, but wasn't I a pain in the ass every time she saw me? When did we ever...well, there /was/ that one time with Seculus, but he definitely lightened her mood. I can be fun. ...okay, I can /try/ to be fun. Maybe if I humor him I'll prove to her she wasn't wrong...? I sighed. "...fine, but nowhere too obvious. I don't want a rainbow on my forehead."

"Don't worry, I know just the place." He moved Madison onto the floor before he got off his chair. Next he reached for his shirt and hoodie.

"/Jackson./"

He sighed like a child being disciplined. "Please expose your back."

2015-11-01 09:21:30

🌀

I tugged at my sleeves for a second. I....well, anywhere I /wouldn't/ have to take it off for would qualify as too obvious. Was he about to try and pull my clothes off of me? I don't appreciate it. I pulled my hat off so I could get the hoodie over my head, then the shirt, exposing my wooden back and jointed shoulders and elbows. In the process, the gloves and mask came away too. I felt exposed, what a freak, and I huddled over a little so he could just focus on my back and nothing else. I didn't look at him.

Jackson smiled. "Thank you!" then began to paint onto his back with a larger brush.

Ivory went back to her wall painting before she moved the ladder she was sitting on. "Almost done, Kinsley." she informed him.

2015-11-01 09:28:55

🌀

I felt something lightly touch my back. Without context it could have just as easily been a snake or something equally disturbing. "...yeah, sure." Kinsley didn't say anything, only nodded. He looked like he was trying his darnedest to both keep his mouth shut and not stare at me too much.

2015-11-01 09:31:44

●

Jackson hummed slightly as he painted.

A few minutes went by, and Ivory set her brush down. "Done." She pulled her hair of the bun, and it fell down her backside.

2015-11-01 09:34:21

🌀

It wasn't hard to just go limp while he worked. Kinsley was right about one thing, not having muscles made being tense all the time like I usually was a lot more difficult. I glanced over as she let down her hair. "...it's beautiful."

2015-11-01 09:38:31

●

Jackson chuckled. "Damn right they are."

Ivory just smiled, ignoring the compliment. "I figured you'd like it."

2015-11-01 09:40:17

🌀

I opened my mouth, then closed it again. ..I'm not even going to argue. "How long were you two working on that today?"

2015-11-01 09:41:59

●

"Uhhhh.....four hours? I think. Could be more."

"Well, I'm almost done with him."

She leaned over and examined Madison's back. "Looks good so far."

2015-11-01 09:43:37

🌀

"Wow. ...what is he doing? It isn't some collage of kittens, is it?"

2015-11-01 09:44:18

●

"Yes." Ivory answered.

"No! I don't even like cats!"

2015-11-01 09:44:57

🌀

"I don't care if it hurts or not, I'm setting myself on fire if it is."

2015-11-01 09:46:55

●

"Don't do that."

"When you die, it's not fun. Ask Ivory."

2015-11-01 09:47:32

🌀

"Whatever, she had nerve endings."

2015-11-01 09:48:28

●

"That's not wait I-"

"Oh look! He's done." Ivory interrupted.

2015-11-01 09:49:12

🌀

"Is he? What /is/ it, then? It was like he painted my entire back." I tried to crane my head around to look, and it twisted further than I expected, until it was completely backwards. WH--

2015-11-01 09:52:13

●

Jackson's eyes widened, and he stumbled backwards. "Holy shit!"

Ivory on the other hand, jumped slightly before bursting out with laughter.
