Choose Your Own Adventure, Thursday afternoon

[regretiz4suckas.livejournal.com]

Kenzi had sent the students (there was no way she could think of them as 'her' students) an email last night, telling them to meet her at the bus stop early for class.

"Field trip day!" she caroled. "We're going to the Graffiti Warehouse for an art day. There's a body painter there who's providing props, so if you want to paint up and photograph yourself against his backdrops, knock yourself out. There are mural-sized canvases, so go crazy. Only thing you can't do that I actually don't want you to do is photograph other people's art, 'cause that's sketchy without their permission, and I'd like to go back there again sometime."

She gave them a cherubic smile. "There'll be another event after we get back."

Mingle, talk on the bus

It's not a long trip, but hey, maybe you didn't come in on the Fandom Shuttle. Welcome to the buildings of Baltimore (http://openwallstour.com/).

Create Art!

[regretiz4suckas.livejournal.com]

The Graffiti Warehouse has murals to paint, bodypaint and costumes to don and photograph, and other artists to chat with. Go crazy.

Cecil looked over the clothes, delighted, then dressed up in a sparkly jacket, furry pants in a totally clashing, wtf Cecil contrasting color, and spiffy boots (in yet another color).

Then he headed out to paint!

Kenzi grinned and grabbed a red wedding gown, spray paint in one hand, camera phone in the other. "So, whatcha gonna paint?"

Re: Create Art!

[voiceoverdue]

"Gosh, I don't know! I haven't decided yet." Cecil chewed his lip and eyed the huge blank canvas. "Just...freeform, maybe? Something abstract but colorful?"

Cecil liked color, in case anyone couldn't guess.

"Put Foucault in it!" Because everything was better with flamingo-ostriches. "With the abstract. A bird in a sea of color!"

Karina was a) glad this was legal and b) really into the whole idea.

And c) she wasn't body shy.

So hopefully no one minded that she was down to her panties and bra, both of which were a shocking ice blue, tracked herself down a pair of high heels in the same colour, and was getting body painted up to look like the sky at sunrise.

(It worked with her underthings! Coordination was important.)

When she looked suitably dramatic (and amazing), which took a while, Karina got to work posing in front of the pre-made backdrops. It was funny how she posed like she knew precisely what she was doing. Almost like she'd had training in it…

"Oooooo, pretty!" Kenzi tromped over in her wedding dress, beaming, and took a pic for herself. "Very artistic, I like it!"

Re: Create Art!

[notacokeperson.livejournal.com]

"Thanks!" Karina said, breaking pose long enough to grin at the teacher. "It's kinda sad it won't last that long, but on the other hand I'm not sure I'd want to always look like this."

Because... yeah, no.

"Your wedding dress is very bright," she added, wanting to compliment the teacher back.

"Awww, this old thing. Reminds me of my wedding to Cecil." Kenzi grinned. "And I think it's a great look, but it'd have to get chilly after a while, at least. You don't mind the heels with it?"

Kaylin was a bit horrified at all of this, and thought perhaps she'd just hang back and Not Watch people getting far more unclothed than she was comfortable with.

Re: Create Art!

[regretiz4suckas.livejournal.com]

"You okay there?" Kenzi gave her a big smile. At least she was wearing a wedding dress? "You can just do the murals and stuff." There are no bodies over there!

Re: Create Art!

[notamascot]

"Back home, people would not take their clothes off so easily. Or at all really. Not in public."

She wasn't a prude, really. Just not used to something like this.

"I'm not sure I understand the point of this," she admitted. She was looking a little ragged and dirty, with blood peeking out here and there from where she hadn't quite cleaned it all up well enough. Don't worry, it wasn't hers.

...and after

[regretiz4suckas.livejournal.com]

Once the bus was back at Fandom, Kenzi was beaming. "Okay! So. I'm heading to the warehouse district here. Spray cans are in that laundry basket, there's some forms if you're more of a stencil type, I'm thinking: community improvement."

She added, "And if you're too tiiiired or worried or whatever, feel free to bail, but you're missing out."

Re: ...and after

[notamascot]

Kaylin was not at all sure this was legal and thought perhaps she'd be best served by not participating.

Re: ...and after

[regretiz4suckas.livejournal.com]

"Not coming along?" Kenzi looked a little wistful. "You sure?"

Re: ...and after

[notamascot]

Kaylin had gotten most of the blood and dirt off, but she was definitely still looking a bit on the pale side. "I think since I'm sort of supposed to be like your police, maybe I shouldn't do stuff like this. Plus," she admitted. "I think I just want to go sleep. For maybe a week or two."

Talk to the TA

[regretiz4suckas.livejournal.com]

Whoever wants to be TA today.

Talk to Kenzi

[regretiz4suckas.livejournal.com]

She is here to help!

And I'm around all day! And evening. And I really want to go on an art tour like this.
