[ Nothing proves that more than this place. Whatever the memories they get are, either a past or parallel life, they are things that have been forgotten somewhere along the line. As unsettling as they may be, they're still important for that reason alone. ]
Blue is always present. You don't realise just how often you see it until it is absent. I look forward to seeing the actual sky and sea return to the colours they were orginally. But for the moment, this is a wonderful start.
[ He is absolutely going to paint something entirely in blue, as soon as he has some free time. ]
[yosuke you have no idea. he still has to remind circles he doesn't take pornography scripts.]
Is that so? I suppose that when people are given the freedom to indulge in their fantasies, romance and companionship is the common and preferred method through which to do so.
[they might be... I guess we will never know. But wow. This other him definitely spoke his mind, didn't he? Not that Yusuke considers himself to be one for biting his tongue and keeping out of things, but it's... interesting to see. Very interesting.]
Yes, I was definitely seeking inspiration. Perhaps that was what I was doing in that strange underground station as well? Trying new things to spark creativity...
[It sure is hard to adjust to a life without sleep, particularly when you're trying to switch between budding idol-dom and school. Anya's been granted a day off today, as if that'll combat her sleepiness, and it's what has her stopping in front of an art shop. She hasn't been able to stop by this district lately, given her strict schedule.
But there's a painting of a night landscape that gets her to stop. Maybe she's there for a little too long, lingering as she lets her eyes flick from edge to edge of the painting, reaching out a hand to the display glass as if she wants to touch it -
And then eventually entering the shop itself. She looks around to find a shop assistant and speaks... hesitantly. Her hands go up to her hood, dropping it down to reveal the silver hair she tries to hide in public. She may be slightly recognizable from billboards, magazines, videos... but her presence is still rather small today.]
[You know, since she's just standing there, she's just gonna... let the empty cone drop, bend to take the napkin that's around the bottom of it, and start to wipe at the ice cream still on Yusuke's hand. If he's a little too out of it to clean it up himself, then by gosh, she'll do it for him.]
[Yusuke on a life without much sleep is fairly similar to Yusuke everyday - just with slightly more prominent bags under his eyes. But still, a man has to work to eat - and to line his pocket with more cash so he can buy the materials to line his pockets with more cash doing things he actually enjoys.
Today has been dragging - combination of just a slow day in general, and the tiredness pulling at the corners of his mind. So when Anya enters, he does straighten up in interest - but not, notably, in recognition. He's more pleased to see a customer than anything.]
... why do you assume that romance is just for women? Some of the best works that have survived generations, loved by both genders alike, focus on romance.
And I thought you were buying magazines...?
[PLEASE DO NOT BUY HIS DOUJINSHIS, YOSUKE.... PLEASE.....]
[ Maybe he should learn to speak all his thoughts and feelings, and being his true self all the time... like Other Self. ]
Inspiration is difficult to pin down. Some days I am inspired by the flick of Morrigan's tail against the morning sunlight. Other days it is more traditional - sunlight on the water, the night sky.
Perhaps I was trying a little of everything.

If you wish to have a picture of a beautiful cat, you need only commission me.
It's a fickle thing; it comes and goes as fast as the beat of a butterflies wings.
[ You see he can be poetic? Without sounding like an absolute shitlord. Akira doesn't know about that, but if that makes fox friend happier, then go ahead and be brutally honest.
It only hurts other people, after all. ]
Really? You seem busy, so I can't imagine commissioning you unless your doors are actually open.
