Thank you for finding this out, I suppose, though I wish you hadn't the need.
Then again, desperation is often the muse of discovery in the first place, so it's only fitting!
Do you really have a crab? It sounds like an unusual pet.

[fabrefactions]

Each of life's experiences add to the tapestry. It might not have been pleasant at the time, but I'm sure something will come of it in the end

[...

...?

Oh.]

Oh I see. My message went to the wrong person.
But yes, to answer your question. I have three feeder crabs. ≧〔゜゜〕≦

[twostringsonebow]

It's been happening quite a lot lately, so don't worry. I like talking to others!
They're rather cute looking. What are their names? How did you come to own them?

[He likes talking about pets especially. Also: crabs?? He was aware that hermit crabs were pet material, but even species like this...]

[fabrefactions]

If this is an error with the app then they are clearly not too concerned. What if someone were sending personal or confidential information in a message and it went to the wrong person...?

Bisque, Rangoon and Gejang ✧
I came across them in the pet shop. Traditional pets are fine, but they were very charming and I ended up bringing them home. [A spur of the moment decision he was quite proud of, really.]

[twostringsonebow]

... Well, I can't say I've had that bit happen to me yet, but I have sent off some rather embarrassing remarks to two different people as a result of their bug/feature... I hope they fix it at some point, it's been detrimental to me contacting anyone through my preferred method of communication.

[Texting lets you have breather space if you need it. It's nice. Praise texting.]

You named them after types of crab dishes? Isn't that tasteless?

[fabrefactions]

It's frustrating. I haven't had it happen often but it's enough to lose trust in the service somewhat. I would be wary of using it for much outside of casual conversations.

... Yes? It's not as if I will ever eat them. If I'd planned on doing so, then yes it would be a little tasteless. But as I do not plan on doing so...

[twostringsonebow]

[amen to that.]

... I see. They're very witty names, in that case.
Speaking of names, though, yours is familiar to me somehow. I can't place it... nor your face.

[WHICH IS ALSO FAMILIAR..? your profile is just one big ? him.]

[fabrefactions]

[oh. That's interesting? Give him a moment, he's scrutinising your profile now as well.

... yeah. Definitely familiar. Where has he seen...?]

... !

[Aha!]

I think I remember. You modelled for a painting class once?

[twostringsonebow]

[Modelled for a...



oh. oh yes. oh he recalls that.]

Yes, I remember that... What a small world we live in. Have the muses treated you well?

[fabrefactions]

[Yes


he probably does. Good times. Such memories.]

It does seem that way. And I would hope so! I will have to be at my most creative over the next couple of years, so I am grateful for all the inspiration I can get.

Are you still modelling?

[The two statements are not actually connected.]

[twostringsonebow]

[It's not wrong to assume they are. It's not like Goro would necessarily mind doing it again.]

I am! I don't foresee myself stopping anytime soon, considering the money it brings in. Do you have need of me?

[fabrefactions]

[Well then.]

Oh, I wasn't aware it was such a lucrative craft.

[Yusuke "if it's not art do we really care" Kitagawa, ladies and gentlemen.]

If the offer is available, perhaps I will do in the future. You are an interesting person to draw.

[twostringsonebow]

It is, though a trifle too stifling for an artist. I wouldn't recommend looking into it.

[Mostly because he might actually be competition for gigs rather than a temp hire.]

Thank you. Once I became comfortable, it... wasn't actually that bad, so feel free to call on me whenever.

Are you having your pieces shown anytime soon? I'd like to see them.

[fabrefactions]

[Wow, Goro. Wow. Don't be jealous he's 90% leg.]

I didn't plan on it. My interests, if they ever lean towards the fashion world, would certainly be in the creation and artistry behind the clothing.

Ah, there are no plans right now. But I have heard exhibitions become part of my art course as time goes by, so I would be interested in perhaps an updated piece for that, depending on the theme I pick. It wouldn't be for a while, but I will definitely keep you in mind as a subject.

[It was certainly true that he'd been more interesting for Yusuke to draw than other models in the class, and he expected it had something to do with Goro's modelling experience. Yusuke'd heard that models had more knowledge of how to angle their bodies in poses.]

[twostringsonebow]

[Yusuke is So Much leg. And yes, models are exceedingly better at being relaxed and knowing the best way to angle themselves, used to being manhandled and having others stare at them.]

I'd be honored if you would. I had a lot of fun with that, actually, since it was more of a break day compared what I usually do. You'll still have to pay for my time, of course, but I'm easily swayed by books and food.

[HE'S EASY.]

[fabrefactions]

[So Much.]

I'm glad to hear that. Sometimes the job of being a life model can be a boring, or unpleasant one from what I have been told. [And cold.]

[ah...... well. He can ask Haru what sort of things are Goro's weakness.]

I'm sure something can be figured out, repayment wise.
