Behold: I enclose a sketch of a mysterious stranger, one whom I theorize is of great import to you all, my compatriots! I have been having recurring dreams of this man, a man whomst I have never met, and always the scenario repeats like old clockwork: I, Ranko Kanzaki, shadowed against the sunset, being apparently threatened by this demonic messenger! There the dream ends...but my memories do not.
Could it be that this is the 'Jim' we seek? And, if so, the reason why he is constantly rebuffed by Janet could not be clearer: observe those eyes, their harsh and pitiless gaze. No wonder he is left with no option other than bewitching this fair city's fruit.
I digress, however. To any other humble servant of Retrospec's divine whims - how do I get these dreams to leave me in peace? At least for now. I need to fully replenish my artes before a certain grand performance this week.
Thank you in advance! Or rather, my deepest regards.
[ ooc note: obviously, assume that ranko's sketch is a realistic scary guy, not...an anime-style scary guy... ]
But what if there is a perspective one feels they inhabit better than others? My spells have no effect in certain situations, and my audience of loyal familiars would no doubt grow weary of me.
[ For the last half-decade of her life, she's used her increasingly convoluted 'magical' mask as a crutch, helping her perfect her art, achieve her grades, and resuscitate her social life. Now she's already in college, and none of her acquaintances (but online and off) know her any other way. Maybe as 'cute' (she thinks, face reddening), but not 'Cute'.
It's all very well for Kasen - he's already established and successful. But straying too far from her chosen path in life...can she really do that with no repercussions? The thought...shakes her. ]
I am humbled, my compatriot. I wouldn't mind once again lifting back the veil regarding our recent works. And, if it is not too impertinent of me, to discuss your own recent pursuits! Besides your new identity as 'Pawsen', of course.
-That... felt like a loaded question. He'd better tiptoe around it. Kasen wasn't great with social cues most of the time, but Ranko was an artistic soul like his. Metaphor was second nature.-
Well there are a great many blooms about. It is spring, after all.

Something tells me this is a conversation we should be having in person, not over text. -It felt too impersonal.-

If you insist. But I'm always available if you want to talk, even if it's just about your work.
