i'm training to be the ultimate kung-fu master!

[The video feed shows Pao-Lin sitting in her living room with a piece of paper in her lap. The black cushions of her futon couch stand out rather starkly against the bright yellow wall behind her.]

Hi, everyone, Pao-Lin here! Um, I've been thinking...since a lot of people seemed to like the mural project back in November, I thought it'd be nice to do another mural at some point. And, well, now would be a good time for it, right? We could use something fun to do after all that crap that happened last month. Plus, it's warm out, so it'll be nice to be outside! So...

[She holds up the piece of paper then, showing off this rather watery design rendered in colored pencil on tinted paper.]

What do you guys think of this? It'd be painted on the ground around the fountain, which is why I tried to make it look watery. I know the ground isn't good for painting right now, but don't worry, I know someone who can fix that. [TOPH, SHE IS LOOKING AT YOU, BROSIS.] As for when this'll happen, I was thinking we could start next Friday. It'll kinda be like we did last time, where some of us spent a few days drawing the design before having everyone else come in on the last day to finish painting things. So Friday and Saturday -- the 20th and the 21st -- will be for people who feel comfortable with drawing, and then on Sunday, other people can paint the colors inside our outlines. It'll be just like coloring inside a coloring book! Only with paint instead of crayons. So even if you don't think you're good at art, it'll be really easy for you to help out then.

Oh, but even if you don't want to paint, you should still drop by! There'll be food there and tables set up, so you can get something to eat and just hang out with people. If you're new to Luceti, this'll be a great way for you to make friends!

[After fielding replies to her entry, Pao-Lin heads out to lay more groundwork for this project, so to speak. She drops by Seventh Heaven to check in with catering plans, then returns to the fountain with a tape measure and some chalk, taking measurements on the ground and scribbling down notes and observations in her sketchbook. She'll also poke her head into the item shop and the school to check up on any painting supplies they may have there.]


((OOC: The lucetiooc post on this project!))

[Now that Luceti has escaped imminent destruction (for now), Pao-lin is finally going to make a journal post about this. She got the idea about a month ago while talking with Caesar during the experiment in September, but once her own fairytale shenanigans befell her, it slipped her mind. And then when she finally remembered again, it was like Fairytale Event 2: Electric Boogaloo (With 100% More Moon!). Not exactly an ideal time to try and organize something other than getting things back to normal.

And...well, this sort of falls under "getting things back to normal", in a way. Hopefully it should be a good distraction for some people.

So in the morning, after Pao-lin's done her kung fu exercises and thought about what she wanted to say, she'll make this voice post.]

Um, hi, everyone! If you don't know me, my name is Pao-lin. I know we're all still dealing with the last experiment, but I guess that just means we all need something to cheer ourselves up, right?

So I was just thinking...maybe it might be nice to paint a mural somewhere in Luceti, something bright and happy and colorful. I haven't thought of anything specific yet, but I definitely want to hear everyone's ideas! It'd be better if we could do it where everyone could see it easily, like somewhere in the plaza, but a friend said that the Rec Center might be a good place, too.


((OOC: If you missed it, there's an OOC post here on the topic!))
