anonymous text + photos.

[atms]

looking for a couple models for life drawing once or twice a week. days worked are flexible but i prefer early mornings and won't budge on time. you'll be compensated for your time, but it's a one or two hours a week gig.

[ attached are pictures of a couple quick charcoal sketches: loose figures done from memory and a couple buildings from around cadelle. proof that he's not being a creeper, despite the anonymity that's keeping him from having to field questions he's sure certain people he knows might have. they're not bad, though he's a little out of practice. ]

if you know of any out of the way buildings that look neat, i won't say no to addresses either.

( alright, random anonymous art ghost, she'll bite. it's just an hour or so, anyway, and she can basically sleep through it... and they'll pay. what's the worst that could happen? )

alright, I'll bite
but is this more 'pay no mind to the man behind the curtain' or a 'I'll show you mine if you show me yours'?

[atms]

more the former than the latter. i'm hoping to avoid certain people who know me.

[scovilles]

not exactly the most reassuring opening line
but this place doesn't seem the type to harbor serial killers, so I'll let it slide

when and where were you thinking?

You might have better luck if you gave a name.

[atms]

if i gave a name i'd have to deal with certain people asking questions.

why haven't you done this since i've known you? can i look at your sketchbook? can you draw me something? etc etc.

[nineteenfortyfive]

[There are some stranger danger alarms going off, but she's in the state of mind not to care too much about that sort of detail. Just curious. Far more important to fill her time.]

All right. I'll do it.

[atms]

[ and this is where he flips things to private and his actual user name show up: elsa. ]

Great. You got a name other than 'Fraser' I can call you? Crane, maybe?

[nineteenfortyfive]

Close. My name is Claire.

[atms]

Leonard.

You ever modeled before, Claire?

[nineteenfortyfive]

No, but I'm a quick study.

[atms]

There's not much to it. Just need to know how to sit still and not fall asleep.

[mothersdrapes]

Are there particular qualities you require in your life models?

[atms]

the ability to stay still and quiet.

[mothersdrapes]

I have been told that I am not capable of such things, but I can assure you I am. Art is a worthy pursuit.

[atms]

not exactly a ringing endorsement there, but i'll take it.

[mothersdrapes]

Then we have a deal! Although I will understand if you wish to test it out first. Decide for yourself.

i can html right i swear

[atms]

Sure, why not.

[ there's an address here. ]

How's Friday at 5:30 AM work for you?

i saw nothing

[mothersdrapes]

Since I do not sleep late, it suits me just fine.

I will meet you there, my mysterious friend.

what sort of compensation are we talking about? Because - and pardon the pun - but this looks... sketchy.

[atms]

cute.

pay's ten bucks an hour. and i don't plan on staying anonymous forever.

[nursetemple]

[ To herself, she's grinning. ]

I've been told I am, indeed.


Do you not have any requirements for your models? Age, height, weight, that kind of thing?

Don't really care that much about the pay. I like art. But I do care to know who would be looking at me, that is true.

[atms]

only someone legal who can stay still for the required period of time.

[ he flips things to private and his username (elsa) shows up. ]

Name's Leonard. You?

[nursetemple]

[ Claire does understand the need and desire for anonymity, sometimes, so it's not like she'd blame him for it. Plus, he's fast to switch things to private and introduce himself - got to mean something, or maybe she's just trustworthy.

The username does amuse her, though, especially combined with the name Leonard. Interesting. ]

You're a big Frozen fan?

I'm Claire. Nice to meet you, Leonard.

[ Maybe?? ]

[atms]

I wouldn't call myself a fan of the movie so much as how delightfully easy it makes aggravating people.

Same to you.

[nursetemple]

Now I'm curious how you aggravate people with it.

[ She's grinning. ]

And I have to admit I've done a bit of modelling for art classes back in the day to help pay for college. It's been a while, but if you're looking, I can possibly be of help.

As long as it's not some ploy to get as many people naked as possible?
