ROLE: Painter Panda

[saturations]

PAINTER PANDA

Today, regardless of wherever Clarte is, they will soon receive a text message from Shale.

tell clarte to come to the archway and send make sure it goes to clarte and only clarte

You don't really have time to question what this means as the ground begins to rumble and a calming, jade green archway erects before you.

As Clarte enters through the archway, they'll find themselves in Shale's garden, right outside their tidy herb and vegetable garden. There's a small shed at the back of the garden. Gardening tools are scattered about. In the distance you can see a pond and across the pond, far away, a small cottage with smoke billowing from the chimney. There are a few stone statues scattered about the garden, but Shale is the one approaching.

"Uh, hey. Sorry about that."

Shale appears to have been finishing up with some weeding, and continues on doing that for a long minute. But eventually, they look up.

"So, it seems like you're going to be the Painter Panda, huh?" Shale tilts their head. "That works just great for me. Well, better follow me."

They wander over to the shed and take out a key to unlock it. Inside, you'll find a table with a bunch of miscellaneous jars and bowls containing brightly colored herbs, flowers, and berries mashed down into rainbow colored dyes, and a jar containing a few brushes. On the wall is a chalkboard with the following posted:

RULES
1. Choose one person here.
2. Paint a picture of them.
3. Use any colors you want.
4. Maybe something ^ good will happen?
5. Don't tell anyone.

After reading the rules, they will find that an image becomes the home screen of their phone and feel something... sticky... appears on their lower back as a temporary tattoo of the same image appears.

Once the brand settles in, Shale tilts their head. "Seems pretty self explanatory. Any questions?"

[itsuki using heliotrope, metallic, and sunrise! this originally looked worse before it morally bothered me so i decided to make it slightly better

anyway clarte would like to put it out to the world that they're a spirit vessel and harbinger of the apocaypse not an artist so (but they did try to inject happy vibes into this, please let it be a good thing for itsuki)]
