2nd sketch - [action]

[sketchingideals]

[One good thing about being taken here is that Jeb hasn't run out of inspiration for art. Currently, he's found a nice place to sit and draw the surroundings around him.

Feel free to approach him, but don't be surprised if he doesn't hear you at first or jumps when he does. This is something that steals his focus very quickly.]

It sounds really fun! Kinda reminds me of this city near my town, actually!

[i_speak_softly]

What are they like? [The city and the town, that is.]

i lose at tagging in a timely manner, sob

[sketchingideals]

Well, the city is kinda like the place you described--lots of buildings and people, and always really lively! My town is a little more quiet, though. [Laughs.] It's fairly big, with a couple of restaurants and a few shops... but it's also said to be the location of a lot of events mentioned in a certain strain of mythology!

...though, I'm not sure if it can strictly be called mythology--a lot of the people in the town still believe the myths and treat it like a religion. [It's also a slight spot of upset for Jeb, but he tries not to show it--he's trying to tell the other about where he's from, after all!]

We will finish this thread eventually

[i_speak_softly]

What kind of myths?

[He's sort of an urban legend, himself, but no one would call it a religion.]

yes. yes, we shall!

[sketchingideals]

Well... [He looks up at the sky.] Mostly about Aviophiel! My town, Avio, was named after her. Basically, she's a goddess of creative and free thinking!

[That would be right up his alley, too, if it weren't for the recent events that happened back home.]

[Don smiles, nodding at Jeb's notebook.]

It seems to be working for you.

[sketchingideals]

Ah--! Well, I'm not as good as I could be, I'm pretty sure...! But thank you!

[i_speak_softly]

[He glances at the sky.]

I should probably be going. It was nice meeting you.

[sketchingideals]

Wait! Could I get your name? [He smiles.] If it's okay with you, I'd like to hang out again sometime!

[i_speak_softly]

[There goes his pretend-anonymity.]

... It's Donatello. Donatello Hamato.

[sketchingideals]

It's really nice to meet you, Donatello! I'm Jeb Parmalee. I hope we can talk again really soon!

[i_speak_softly]

[A self-deprecating smile.] Next time I'll try not to run you over.

[sketchingideals]

Don't worry, I'm sure you won't! I was never angry that you did this time.

[i_speak_softly]

[This earns a more genuine smile.]

I'll see you around, Jeb.

[sketchingideals]

I'll look forward to it, Donatello!
