this time maya can't hold back the roll of her eyes at kie's comment about her attitude. it's not like it's anything she hasn't heard before. but at the revelation of what the other's here for, realization dawns on her. she hasn't forgotten about the sketches, in fact, they're sitting finished on the desk in the corner as they speak. but she had forgotten kie would be showing up to get them soon. to be fair, it's been a long week.
still though, she's not easily going to admit her faults or mistakes so instead she purses her lips, ignoring the comments about the texts - she always keeps her phone on silent when she's trying to concentrate and she won't apologize for it - before letting out another sigh and setting the pencil down and laying her sketchbook open on the bed.
"right, yeah, okay. but no, no need to ask anyone else. they're right here." she stands, making her way over to them and picking them up the desk. however before handing them over she gives the other a raised brow. "i want the money first." of course she's not going to trust easily, it's not in her nature. no matter how much khione may have proven herself to be trustworthy in the past. this involves her getting paid.
it takes her longer than expected to get to maya, if only because mister kent inquired about her and her friends like the good person he is.
(and, also, whether this is a shoes-off household or not, she is a shoes-off person.)
after making the trek to maya's room, kie knocks before entering. it doesn't matter if people told her before that she can just enter (some of her classmates don't give a fuck, like karol topolski); she can't for the life of her enter someone's precious private domain without at least announcing herself.
"your frosty attitude," kie shoots back immediately, "please cool it down. i'm here for the figure skating dress sketches, as previously discussed. with the payment, also as previously discussed."
for a moment, she's quiet, taking in maya's room. "dunno if you saw it but i texted you i was on my way. and then i texted you again when i got here." then her demeanor softens, like snow flurries descending. "if it's not do-able, that's okay too. really, i can just ask penny lent. no harm, no foul. it'll still get done before my showcase. i don't want you to get stressed out on my behalf. i know what it's like when other people turn art into something it's not and i would never want to do that to a fellow artist."
idk why tf safari keeps logging me out of maya’s blog - but anyways i’m gonna eat dinner & then be on here. i’m gonna maybe try to make a promo tonight but i probably won’t post it till later tomorrow. my goal is to do what i owe here since it’s not much & then head over to steve’s blog. i know i said that last night but - my night got a bit interrupted last night. so yeah anyways i’ll be on shortly!
"ugh, can't wait until that's me." maya comments with a groan at udyati's comment about not being in school anymore. "but fucking right? exactly. exactly. you get it. school is a fucking cesspool full of teachers that get off on giving you a hard time and tries to teach you shit you're never gonna actually need in life. i'm an artist, why do i need to learn math?" there's a reason she's either constantly skipping or sleeping in class. "and now you can't even make comments to yourself, in a hallway, without getting more unnecessary bullshit."
"stuff like this is why i'm so glad i'm not in school anymore. you're already forced to give up so much of your time and energy to that hell of an institution and you willingly give them more? could not be me. most teachers are energy vampires. to quote mj: all i wanna say is that they don't really care about us."
open to: anyone
"i got detention for saying 'eat my ass' in the hallway."
i know it's 7am & i only have 14 followers but ... tentative starter call?
you know the drill, like/reply to this post for a starter!
if you're a multi i would prefer if you'd specify who you'd like it for
a small collection of lyric starters, ft. all those mushy pining confession feelings. feel free to alter pronouns/grammar/etc. to fit your muses.
“I wanna ruin our friendship. We should be lovers instead.”
“I don’t wanna dance if I’m not dancing with you.”
“Can we kiss like we do in my head?“
“I know that you like me.”
“My tongue on your tongue makes me feel better.”
“I won’t go until you come outside.”
“Would it really kill you if we kissed?“
“You’re the reason why I think of you all the time.”
“I know you know that I like you.”
“Half of my heart has always been yours.”
“Nobody knows me like you.”
“I’ll be the only dream you seek.”
“I’ve never never loved you.”
“You matter to me.”
“Damn your wife, I’d be your mistress just to have you around.”
“If you’re lonely, come be lonely with me.”
“I choose you.”

PROMPTS FROM BONES AND ALL * assorted dialogue from the 2022 film, adjust as necessary
you didn't tell me you play piano.
how would i even get there?
you said you wanted to make more friends here.
do you think it'll rain tonight?
i crawled out a window.
we're the lost girls then.
so you can't spend the night?
we're trying to talk.
i'm taking you to the bookstore.
are we ever gonna talk about... what i did?
no. that's never gonna happen.
i've been looking forward to this day. for a long time.
you aren't going to see me again. i can't help you anymore.
i've gotta leave you to figure it out for yourself.
i don't know how much of what i'm about to say you remember. maybe you honestly don't.
shouldn't you be in school?
that was the last time i used our real last name.
you got clever. so fucking clever.
is there a place to get something to eat?
i'll just wait here if it's okay.
i didn't mean to scare you.
i was looking for you. maybe that sounds weird to you... or maybe it doesn't.
do i know you?
i smelled you, and you probably smell me now.
through the back. we'll talk inside.
you won't always be able to hold yourself back.
there's a reason you're on your own.
i'm not a thief.
did someone find you? while you were doing it?
what if i don't want that?
you don't have to be alone.
you're out of control.
what happens? you think something bad's gonna happen?
i didn't know i could do that.
why does that matter?
i'm just saying i'm not an asshole.
you wanna get in? for a minute?
i don't know whether to cry or scream or laugh or what.
can you help me? i just... i'm new at this.
i'm gonna take a shower.
we need what we need, right?
open the fucking door!
let's make like a tom and cruise.
you seemed like such a hardcase yesterday.
that's a choice. we don't have to be like that.
why'd you offer to bring me along?
do you get home often?
there are hypocrites everywhere.
i didn't run away.
i'm not trying to start anything. i'm just saying what i think.
take whatever you want.
fucking asshole. you said you were going to stick around this time.
you're the only person i miss.
are we not safe right now?
what was your first time like?
i don't remember much after.
we shouldn't be talking about killing anybody.
i don't want this to touch us.
i'll see you in an hour.
i can't protect you anymore.
you've got blood on you.
we ruin lives we don't even see.
why are we even talking about it like this?
we should feel something. we've killed and it's murder.
how dare you make this harder.
you've got nothing to be sorry for.
i hope you can respect that.
all i ever wanted in this world was love.
the world of love wants no monsters in it.
you don't have to say anything else, but tell me if you're okay.
i'm just not comfortable with this.
you protected the people you love.
you don't think i'm a bad person?
all i think is that i love you.
i used to tell people the truth, you know.
i was going to turn myself in.
TREASURE PLANET (2002) PROMPTS * assorted dialogue from the disney film, adjust as necessary
you're gonna rattle the stars.
now you listen to me, [name]. you got the makings of greatness in you, but you got to take the helm and chart your own course.
look at you, glowing like a solar fire.
you're something special, [name].
let me make this as... monosyllabic as possible.
how did i describe them?
i said something rather good this morning before coffee.
there you go. poetry.
i'm an astronomer, not a doctor!
i am a doctor, but i'm not that kind of doctor. i have a doctorate. it's not the same thing. you can't help people with a doctorate.
you just sit there and you're useless.
i won't bore you with my scars.
oh shut up. you know i don't mean a word of it.
i'm starting to see my life pass in front of my eyes.
you have wonderful eyes.
yes, you. i have a question.
is it that your body is too massive for your teeny-tiny head, or is it that your head is too teeny-tiny for your big fat body?
i have one more question.
is this yours?
well, this has been a fun day.
without the map, we're dead.
if we try to leave, we're dead.
what a joke.
at least you taught me something.
that's just what i'm gonna do.
you still don't know how to pick your fights.
are you saying this because it's the right thing, or because you really want to go?
playing games, are we?
thanks for the lift, guys.
don't mention it.
this is the answer to all our problems!
don't you remember? all those stories?
would you please explain how ridiculous this is?
it's totally preposterous! traversing the galaxy alone!
now at last we hear some sense.
you flatter me, [name].
i feel like such a useless weakling.
stay out of trouble!
that was more fun than i ever want to have again.
so... uh. how'd that happen anyway?
i've got two new friends i'd like you to meet.
are your parents around?
i've got some plans to make people see me a little different.
sometimes plans go astray.
you take care now.
this should be a wonderful opportunity for the two of us to get to know one another.
with the greatest possible respect, zip your howling screamer.
we're about to get under way!
i'll follow you.
you know the rules.
maybe your ears don't work so well.
i just don't want to see you throw away your entire future.
i don't know how you manage it.
did you actually aim for that?
what is all this stuff?
wait wait wait! what about the treasure?
i don't want to lose you.
i'll make you proud.
i'm sorry, my memory isn't what it used to be.
i say we kill them all now.
all my life, i've been waiting for an opportunity like this.
@downspirals liked for a starter!
"i don't need help from anyone, least of all you." maya says with a glare towards the other, backing up from her as though rain's going to provide unwanted touch or something. "just leave me alone. don't you have someone else you can go bother?"
