Kenta Ooshima 16/05 near Recolle University

I'm looking for some people with specific colors on their paint brush for something really important. Specifically I need : - 1 person with blue - 1 person with red - 2 people with yellow - 2 people with white I need to restore an item to its actual colors, and I'd like to do it quickly. It's not going to take up a lot of time. Please message me if you have a couple of hours you can spare.

[Kenta might have some charisma, but he is not pretentious or vain, that is true. If anything, he tends more towards awkward near new people.

he does look a bit puzzled at being asked if the drinks are free because...]

... Why would I make you pay for drinks in my house? Besides, you came to help me out.

[That sounds like a bit of an extreme reaction to what is a simple hospitality gesture.]

And yes, this is it. And it's supposed to look like this.

[He pulls up a picture of Jirou wearing the thing, and you'd be excused for not knowing if this is a man or woman modeling, Christian.]

So the gold is mostly for trims and tassels, and the motif on the bands here. And the obi.

[ And, again, Christian shrugs his shoulders before slowly shaking his head and mouthing out the words "I don't know".

He peers over at the picture and observes, taking in the colors and where he'll need to paint. ]

Ahh, okay. I can totally do that! [ He's taking a huge gulp of the tea from earlier before placing it down elsewhere. Careful to keep it away from the large garment and reaching into his back pocket to pull out the paintbrush that had been poking out. ] The obi... that's the sash, right? My girlfriend taught me a little about that!

[toobigtohandle]

That's right. Is your girlfriend Japanese?

[There's a quite big community in Recolle, so that wouldn't be too surprising.]

Should we try and mix it in with just a little bit of my red and see what color that makes? I think the gold might be a little deeper that your color alone.

Mhm! She's super cute~

[ But it's best not to go into that topic. There's a time and place for everything and right now doesn't seem like the appropriate time to start babbling about his girlfriend. ]

Sounds like a plan. Did you wanna do it on a sheet a paper, so in case anything goes wrong it won't mess it up?

[Kenta is a hundred percent with people gushing about their SOs, Christian. His fiancé is the best. Of course the picture just makes him look like a tall woman because he is just that pretty but if you get Kenta started on the subject you'll never hear the end of it.]

That's a good idea. Let's try it. I've had a few misses before.

[He's not an artist, in fact hasn't done any art at all since high school, probably, beyond some calligraphy which he did in black ink, so...]

Let's put some yellow first and I'll gradually add a little bit of red until we get the right shade.

[ His housemaid must have overheard, because soon enough they're being provided a blank sheet of paper to use. Christian takes it with a smile and a short nod of his head, placing it beside the kimono on the table and dragging his paint brush across the paper and creating a small circle. ]

There, go ahead.

[toobigtohandle]

[Kenta uses his own brush to add some red, drop by drop,until they get something that is really close to what's on the picture on his phone.]

That looks good. So we need to to the tassels and trims here, and I made a template for the obi design where we just need to paint inside the cut outs.

[axeswing]

Gotcha, I'll do my best to stay within the lines! [ A joke, of course, as his smile that follows swiftly after is a cheeky grin. Stretching his arm out and leaving the paper behind, he begins painting the tassels. ]
