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.]

I believe that to. So long as we get tougher and level up so they say.

Really? I guess that could be because I have a love for games as well.

[Considering the sheer amount of has played and the fact he lived in a game shop helped.]

I look forward to it. [He wasn't sure when the next one will be, but he had to admit he was looking forward to it as he looked around.]

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

[He held out his hand to shake, being slightly embarrassed by the fact that he never mentioned his name before.]

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

It was nice to meet you to.

[Giving a small wave, he turns around to head off, knowing that he had a few things he had to do today.]
