Tentatively

I can do this

[cruelyethuman]

What do you mean 'tentatively'. Either you can do it, or you can't. I need it to be perfect.

[aurable]

I can but do you want accuracy

[winscenario]

I am, and I have some supplies. What’s this for?

[cruelyethuman]

How good are you?

[winscenario]

Fairly good, but it really depends on what kind of thing you’re looking for. Do you want to see some examples?

[cruelyethuman]

I need a portrait painted. Is that one of your many talents by chance?

[morethan084]

[Boi.]

[peasant]

can't imagine where you would find someone like that

[ how can even text manage to be so sarcastic? a mystery, but alina manages it, somehow. ]

[cruelyethuman]

You really will find fault with everything that I do, won't you, Alina.

[peasant]

what? no.
it was supposed to be a joke. you were meant to laugh.

[ a pause. it really doesn't feel worth apologizing for, but. ]

sorry.
i guess it wasn't that funny.

[romancekiller]

I can do either depending on your preference. What did you need done?

[cruelyethuman]

I need to have a portrait drawn and I need it to be perfect in likeness. Can you do this?

[romancekiller]

Yeah, that's doable. I've been drawing quite a lot since we've been here so I have plenty of examples to show so you can judge for yourself.

Feelings on stick figures?

[cruelyethuman]

Excuse me.

I want to go with no, but I'm not really sure what you're asking me. Do you know how to make a portrait?

[business]

Sure I do. I’ll send you my portfolio, one moment.

( a surprisingly short amount of time later — a picture! )

I can't offer any help but I've seen Clarke's drawings and she's really good. She can probably make what you need.

Different medium and all but...I'm sure someone here has a phone and could take a picture. Do you know what a selfie is?

[cruelyethuman]

Can you send this Clarke to the kitchen, and no. It must be one of those things that I am not earthling enough to understand.

[spacedisaster]

No, but I could try to ask her politely if she isn't busy and if she wants to meet you there. Just ...do not tell women to go to the kitchen, Kirigan, as a general rule.

Pretty sure other alien species beyond humans have phones that takes pictures, my friend. But worry not, I'll explain! We can use the tech here to share written text, audio posts, and also play moving pictures but there's an extra option that lets you take still pictures. Quicker than having a painting of you done, and exactly like reality. Less awkward too if you want a naked portrait too.

You just kind of have to look at something, or think of yourself, and then consciously signal that you want to take a photo. Just think about it.

Like this. [ A few seconds later, the Darkling is getting a selfie of Peter, smiling at the camera, and with a book about knitting in his hands. ] It's called a 'selfie' when you take a picture of yourself.

What's your definition of proficient, exactly?

[cruelyethuman]

Capture the perfect likeness, of course.

[unbreachable]

Is it of a person? I'm good with black and whites.

[cruelyethuman]

I really did not think I would have to ask this, but is your skill accurate and would it look like the subject?
