yo. looks like there's still some residual effects coming up, but they should be pretty harmless since the kid was in charge of redistribution. she says it should be "cool". just don't do some damn idiot thing about them and you should be fine. this is absolutely not in my job description but the intern's busy and half of r&d is still banned and hr is on honeymoon. so you'll just have to deal with the lack of fancy bullshit. anyway. good luck or whatever.

... Well, actually yes. I am feeling rather blue about the loss of colour.
Does that ruin the pun?

[meowbel]

Psh, of course not! You're joining in on the fun!

C'mon, let's see if there's anymore color puns you can make up! Orange you glad you joined in?

[fabrefactions]

[ BOO. GET OFF THE STAGE, MABEL. ]

No, not especially. I'm better with colour-play than wordplay.

[meowbel]

[... ;A;]

Awww, really? I think reding it would be just as fun!

[fabrefactions]

[ Booooooo. ]

... Do you have a book on these puns or something? You seem to have quite a few of them.

[meowbel]

Nah, I'm just that puntastic!

...Of course, I could always write one if you want me to!

[fabrefactions]

[This is why he stopped babysitting you, y'know.]

I thought you wanted to do animation, rather than authoring.

[meowbel]

[Don't be hating!]

And I still do! But it doesn't mean that I'll stop there, maybe I might even write a book on animation!

It'll be like not killing two birds with one stone!

[fabrefactions]

[He's just being truthful?]

And you mentioned something about acting as well...? Does this mean you'll be combining a tale of animation with the ways of thespians?

[meowbel]

I didn't think about it before but I think I'll have to! You're really good with coming up ideas, I'm impressed Yusuke!

[fabrefactions]

I was being slightly sardonic. But that may be a fairly unique idea... a show about the struggles of becoming an artist. Or maybe an animation piece on the wonders of theatre...

[Pause.]

I would like a mention in your tributes, should this come to be.

[meowbel]

Of course! I think I might even get started on it right now! My brain just has a bunch of ideas going on!

Any ideas on where I should start?

[fabrefactions]

No.

[You're welcome.]

I would hate to take away from your dream.

[meowbel]

What are you talking about? That's nonsense, you're just helping me out!

Why would that take away from my dreams?

[fabrefactions]

In order to make it your best work, and the best expression of your creative desires, it should be your work first and foremost.

If you struggle once you have started, then asking for help is reasonable. But the starting point of your inspiration should come from you.

[Also he has no clue how this is going to actually work, so.]

[meowbel]

I guess. But you're making this difficult for me on purpose, aren't you?

Don't you know that's bullying?

[No, she's not serious about that]

[fabrefactions]

[Good. He's not taking her seriously.]

The struggle is part of the journey.

[meowbel]

Good point. You can't be an artist without feeling the struggle, it just wouldn't feel genuine!

[You do know what you're saying right, Mabel?]]

I think I can feel myself struggling already!

[fabrefactions]

Yes! The struggle is what enriches your life experiences and allows you to transfer them into your work so it will resonate with your audience more.

[Yusuke don't... encourage her...]

[meowbel]

I think you're right! From this day on, I shall be known as Mabel, the struggling artist who suffers for her art!

[Too late, Yusuke!]

[fabrefactions]

But try not to suffer too much. People become concerned.

[Look, sometimes he tries to be helpful.]

[meowbel]

Relax, I'm going to suffer that much!

Just enough where it'll be questionable!

[fabrefactions]

There is an art to understanding the level of struggle that will enhance your art and what will create a negative impact. There is a balance.

[Says the guy who has no idea what he's doing.]

[meowbel]

And you're not gonna tell me, are you?

That's still not fair! Can't you give a girl some hints? You're killing me, Yusuke!

[fabrefactions]

I don't know what you want me to tell you. Art is a deeply personal experience. How I get my creativity and enhance my work may not be how you would get yours.

As an example though: I enjoy people watching.
