I am told this is a forum where one may solicit public opinion.
If there is one experience you could have again, what would it be?
What from your home do you find yourself missing the most?

what is it that you play? 🎹?
i don't think you're going to find anything like that here for now, some grand opera or whatever, unless you throw it yourself.
no subject
I play the harp and sing. My brother had a gift for the piano.
I'm afraid my dancing would be a pale reflection of theirs. It does indeed seem if there is to be art here, I will need to create it myself.
I am surrounded by people who I would never meet in other circumstances. I want to understand them.
no subject
yeah, can't help you with the harp. we got a piano somewhere in here though. i think.
cooooorrect. 💡 if you want to teach music so you can have your own little thing going, i have a space for that.
good luck.
no subject
I do not play, but that will be a boon to those here who do.
I assure you I lack the patience needed to teach anyone. I would, however, have an interest in a place where one might sculpt or paint. As you seem to have been present here some time, would you have any recommendation?
Do you not wish to be understood?
no subject
mmmm. i guess there are some places you can do that, but i don't know if they're just available just like that. the clubhouse, there's a church somewhere, a farm, a whole valley, depends on what you're really looking for. my building has space outside of it, so by all means, go for it.
i think there's some shit you just literally can't understand, but alas?

[ It's a good question. Clea doesn't know what she's really looking for. She has always had a space of her own in which to create. While some aspects of her art could be public, she finds the idea of working where someone could pass by unnerving. Particularly if she opts to attempt a Canvas here. ]
Ideally, somewhere private and protected by the elements. This is not an ideal situation. I will consider that, thank you.
That is true. There are some things which can only be understood by the person who goes through them. And yet humanity has still found art to be a balm for the soul. With the ability to speak across the ages, sometimes an experience you thought was only your own is shared by someone you will never meet, who has been gone for centuries.
Creation, too, helps. Perhaps you could try if you do not already. When others do not understand, you must rely on yourself.
no subject
not that i'm not agreeing with you that art is great. it is, but ya know. levels. perception. mind matter. experience. all those things together make someone look at something 100 years in the future and go 'oh, i get it' and they do not get it anyway.
no subject
Of course, but that does not change the spark of understanding experienced by the audience member. You are correct that audience interpretation can vary from an artist's intent, but that does not mean the balm is any less effective. It does not change the comfort derived or the inspiration gleaned. It's possible for an artist to say something true without realizing the message they've shared.
no subject
that said, i'm definitely not an artistic type.
no subject
Because you do not enjoy it? What makes your soul sing instead?

no subject
okay, do you want me to answer that one or the original ones. you only get two questions, darling.
(Who made up that rule? Her, literally now.)
no subject
Any two?
[ If they're changing the rules... ]
What do you like the most about fashion? What is one place that makes you feel happy or at peace?
[ Pushing personal questions will accomplish nothing if the woman does not wish to answer them. Perhaps she will be more willing to share pleasant memories. ]
no subject
and my... nation, i guess, but that's a whole can of worms i won't talk about, sorry babe.
no subject
It sounds as though most of your life is a secret. I cannot decide whether I would enjoy that or not.
no subject
not at all. i just like being a challenge. if it helps, i'm blonde, tall, blue-eyed, hai down my waist, telepathic, mutant, clone, fabulous.
no subject
Clones are the created twins, but I do not know what a 'mutant' is.
[ And setting aside all of their previous conversation. If they are indeed to have 'girl talk 101'. ]
How are you managing your hair in this place? I've spent over a decade growing it, I would prefer not to need to experiment. I don't recognize what I've been given and if I ruin my ends after all of this work I will be displeased.
no subject
context of my world it's someone whos got a specific gene, gives us a few characteristics sometimes and superhuman abilities and whatnot. we got a few here aside from me.
... yeah you need a rescue. on girl talk and earthen haircare. go to charronway, find this huge mansion that says "institute for mutant education and outreach". i'll sense when you approach.
no subject
[ Though where else would she be from? Are those scientists and storytellers right when they write of life on other planets? Writers are liars, of course, but even she admits Wells has some talent. ]
It seems there are a great many people here with a wide variety of abilities.
I would appreciate that. I've been braiding and pinning it, but that will not suffice for long.
((OOC: Did you want to thread or handwave? Clea doesn't know what a telepath is so that would be interesting.))
no subject
oh, nope. that's gonna break your hair on the long term, dear.
(ooc: we can definitely thread it! please let me know your telepathy boundaries and preferences so i stay within your comfort zone!)
no subject
I will come.
((OOC: Oh yay! Generally, if it's mentioned in brackets, you're good to telepath it. Mostly I'd just want to avoid Sophie learning certain canon spoilery things bc we want to leave those things up to Clea's castmates. But I'll be appropriately general with that info so if it's in brackets, it's fair play.
Approaching, Clea is a.) fairly often distracted by something she's determined to be aesthetically interesting and b.) rather apprehensive. Not about Sophie in particular, but about the entire situation and her helplessness in it.))
no subject
(ooc: amazing, that works for me! i don't have any canon spoilers, i haven't played it, so basically if you don't give it to me, i won't go into it!)
no subject
((OOC: Sweet. Should we thread here or in an inbox?))
feel free to send a starter here or to my inbox, or i can!
