[That's right, why would you want to spend your time worrying about monsters when you can draw yoru troubles away? You don't have anything better to do, drawing is the most important.

Only Lambda would think this is a good idea.]

[Oh, oh, she likes drawing!

So here, have a childish doodle of a field of flowers! There's a bright blue sky and even a cheery looking sun drawn in.]

(ooc: i am far too lazy to pull paint up so i hope this is okay!)

[stalemates]

[Yeah that's basically the same drawing, but with a cat. And birds. Collaborative drawing?]

[funnystory]

[Oh! She likes this. Ellen will add in some clouds. Pink, fluffy clouds that resemble cotton candy--and of course, they're raining gumdrops and lollipops.]

[stalemates]

[Of course they are! If they hadn't been, Lambda would have added it in herself, but she's quite pleased to see she doesn't need to tell this girl the proper way to draw clouds.]

Hmmm...oh, I know~

[She draws faces on all the clouds, very excited ones. Everything's better with faces. And she starts giving them little hats and bows.]

[looselips]

serious question.
are you actually being legit with this?

text

[stalemates]

totally 100% legit

[No, she's never serious about anything.]

[looselips]

sheesh, you really DO like kiddie stuff, huh?

[Hopefully Lambda can feel the sassy headshake/shrug combo he has going on across terminals.]

[stalemates]

yup

is there something wrong with that? it's fun, isn't it?

[looselips]

well, yeah, if you're a child.

[stalemates]

hey! do i look like a kid to you?! o(-`д´- ｡)

[looselips]

sorry to say, but if you like kid's stuff, then yeah, you're a kid.

[stalemates]

there's nothing wrong with kid stuff

human adults are just dumb and think it's only for kids

but you know what? they can see and understand things most adults can't, so who's really dumb?

[gamechamp]

oh, trust me, it's not like I think adults are any smarter than kids are.
most people are idiots no matter how old they are.
but that doesn't make this any less immature!

[Because maturity is what's important. He's mature. The maturest.]

[stalemates]

it's not immature! it's just fun
there's nothing immature about having fun!

[doctor_dismemberment]

What are you doing?

[That flat, unamused question comes from behind Lambdadelta, where Richtofen is standing with an eyebrow arched and his arms crossed. He can see a blob of pink on her screen (which is par for the course for Lambda, he supposes), but it doesn't look like text. What can he say? He's nosy.]

action

[stalemates]

[Lambda looks up for a moment, beaming at him before turning back to the screen and drawing some more.]

What's it look like, I'm drawing~! ☆

[doctor_dismemberment]

[Richtofen steps closer and bends at the waist, scrutinizing her picture more closely. He wrinkles his nose, hands clasped behind his back, ever the picture of the stern Major General.]

...Really? That is your idea of a drawing?

[Ouch, harsh. Apparently, even being Richtofen's closest "friend" doesn't excuse one from his scathing criticisms.]

[stalemates]

W-what? You don't like it? But it's super cute, doesn't it look just like me?!

[doctor_dismemberment]

Nein! Where is your nose?

[Richtofen straightens his back and points a gloved finger at each part of her drawing as he mentions them.]

Und your tongue, your teeth... Your mouth is just a white shape! Why is your hair outlined in pink? This makes no sense at all!

[stalemates]

[art critic Richtofen]

Wh- it's just a style! And everything's outlined in pink, not just my hair!

[doctor_dismemberment]

Well then, that makes it even worse! The world is not outlined in pink, Dummkopf! Here, let me show you how to draw someone properly.

[He tries to muscle her out of the way and take control of the touchpad.]

[stalemates]

The world's not, but I am!!

[After a moment of flailing, she moves aside. Fine, show her what you got!!!]

[doctor_dismemberment]

[Richtofen looks haughty as he opens up the program Lambda was using. He's a doctor. He knows how people look inside and out. All he has to do is to use that knowledge to draw a person, right?

Wait, how does he work this tablet-

He's not familiar with the settings in this drawing program, what-

He knows what a human is supposed to look like, why won't his hand just make the image that's in his mind happen-

Oh shit he's using the wrong colors-

Fuck it he'll just scribble that part-

Wait, no, he doesn't know nearly as much about clothing as he does about anatomy, why is it so hard-

Eventually, Richtofen gets so frustrated that he slams his hand down on the touchpad and swears in German. Once he's finished with his little fit, he splays his hands out toward his drawing, and smiles like it's something to be proud of.]



There. That is how you do it.

[stalemates]

[Okay, the face is pretty good...but what's up with her beautiful dress, this is a travesty - and her lovely, silky hair! It's not made of straw!!]

Well, I like the face...but, is my nose really that big?

[doctor_dismemberment]

Well...

[He looks between Lambda's face and his drawing a few times over, then stops with his eyes focused on the monitor. He strokes his chin with a thumb and forefinger.]

No, I suppose not. But they really should not make these things this hard to use...! [With an accusing stare at the touchpad/tablet.]

[stalemates]

See, it's hard to get used to! Plus my hair's totally not made of hay or something.

[doctor_dismemberment]

It is not a big, fluffy ball, either!

[Nevermind that the hair in Lambda's picture totally looks more accurate.]

Besides, it's not hay. Those are strands of hair.

[stalemates]

It totally is fluffy! Here, touch it!

[Shoving her head at him. TOUCH IIIT.]

[doctor_dismemberment]

Ack, nein!

[He swerves his body out of the way before her head can touch him. Wee-oo wee-oo, personal space violation!]

Hair und fluff are two completely different things. They have different molecular structure, don't question me, I am a doctor!

[stalemates]

But my hair is fluffy! You know, like an adjective, not a noun!

[doctor_dismemberment]

Und yet you continue with the contradicting! [Richtofen puts his hands on his hips and attempts to look as stern as possible.] Did your parents not teach you to respect your betters?

[He should have said "elders," oops. What a slip of the tongue.]
