Pixel Paintings by Chiaki
Characters: Chiaki Nanami and Open
Where: Outside the Observatory
When: April 2nd
Summary: Chiaki decided to pick up a new hobby, but her paintings are turning out strangely.
Warnings: Probably just gonna use action brackets for my own tags, but feel free to go with whatever makes you comfortable.
[In a recent conversation with Valvalis during the events in the Imperial City, Chiaki has decided that maybe there is some merit to the suggestion that she should be doing something with her spare time other than just playing games. After all, there are no video games to speak of in this world, and that's what she spent the bulk of her time on before coming here.
So in order to fill the void in her schedule, she's decided to take up painting. There was a brief internal debate about whether to go with this or carving wooden lawn gnomes, because everyone knows the latter is much more profitable, but Chiaki eventually decided the start-up cost of becoming a painter in terms of both materials needed and initial effort required was more efficient.
It seems as if she's finished a few paintings, and she's showing them off in a little impromptu exhibition outside the Observatory being used as the Heroes' guild hall. But they all have a rather curious similarity to them - all of the images depicted are composed of hundreds of colored squares, almost like pointillism but more blocky. And the paintings are generally easier to resolve into an image the farther away you get.
Right now, she's got three things sitting on easels next to her. One is entitled Self Portrait, a second bears the title Valvalis, and the third is called Landscape. Up close, it just looks like a mess of random blocks and colors, but once you move back, it actually appears to be a picture of the sun setting over the horizon of the city. Chiaki is standing next to the paintings waiting for people to come by and comment.]

[She smiles, seeming pretty happy about the thought.]
I never thought about that before. I wonder if I should try.
[That might be for the best, though. Any game Chiaki tried to come up with would probably end up a lot like this.]
no subject
[Never thought about it, well Yugi would think about stuff like that when not studying. There is a reason school bingo was created.]
You could always try, I find anything can be made into a game if you put your mind to it.
no subject
[Chiaki is unfortunately not that creative.]
I just look at life itself as a game, really.
no subject
It is. It's always fun as well and you learn something new against a strong opponent. Giving one the drive to try there best.
[He gives a small smile before kneeling down to take a closer look at the paintings for the moment.]
I do that some times. Not all the time, but on occasion.
no subject
It's just the way I understand the world, I guess. It's easier for me to think of things in those sorts of terms.

[He at least got that feeling himself if he was honest.]

[And the last time he played one that felt real too, for reasons.]
Which means there will be an end to this if it follows that. It might be tough though.

I should get going and get back before Hikari does something.

[Chiaki smiles, hesitating a moment before holding out her hand.]
Oh. Okay.
...By the way, I'm Chiaki Nanami.
[Since they didn't introduce themselves like a couple of derps.]

I'm Yugi Mutou, it was nice speaking to a fellow gamer.
