5/19. 8pm. Free admission. Be there and then we'll see who'll win that bet about my music.

no worries. fair warning, I'm on hiatus, so expect slower than usual

-Jesus christ that album cover was a trainwreck. First thing Kasen was going to do was put this kid in touch with a graphic designer. But first...-

So be it.

[The good thing about living in a large city means that when Mohammed inevitably makes an idiot of himself with the prank call, he can slip away and likely never talk to the person on the other end ever again. He will cross off a bingo and life will continue.

He dials a random number and waits for the person on the other end to pick up.]

( text ) sometime around may; bingo

[ Now for the most difficult part - the center square in his bingo card. Sena is so stumped because how the hell can anyone make a fannypack more appealing?!

And then he remembers. Right, he did check out that master artist's website, didn't he? Not gonna lie, his works are pretty impressive. Not that Sena would know anything about art though, even though he's also taking some art classes at the university.

Let's see if he can convince him to collab with this. ]

I have a request, if you're not too busy.

[liberal_arts]

Moshi moshi, Kaneda-desu -Said in a sing-song way. Of course he wasn't just answering in his native tongue to be cute, honestly it was a good way of deterring telemarketers. Anyone that actually knew who they were calling wouldn't care.-

[liberal_arts]

I never like to consider myself busy.

[adoringpast]

[ He's trying so hard to say something rude like maybe it's because he hasn't been getting any commissions or whatever, but he has to hold his tongue. Gotta be in this guy's good graces first. ]

Do you know how to style accessories?

[prometheanflame]

[He can't tell if this makes the prank call worse or easier.]

...Sorry, I'm looking for Aisha Hefaz. [His mother, the first person that came to mind for the fake call. No one would question that.] Is this the wrong number?

[liberal_arts]

Those are awfully vague terms, don't you think?

[liberal_arts]

Define 'wrong'? We do tend to find the most interesting things in places we were not looking. -Did Kasen answer like this to every wrong number?-

[adoringpast]

Just answer yes if you do. I'll ask somebody else if you don't.

[liberal_arts]

I'm going to assume you mean this in regards to fashion. The answer is 'yes'.

[prometheanflame]

[Who is this guy, a phone-in spiritual advisor or something?],/small>

There's stumbling across a good thing and there's going in the wrong direction in the first place.

[adoringpast]

Of course it is.

Anyways, did you know about the bingo craze that's been going on? My center square is related to that.

[liberal_arts]

I don't believe there's such a thing as wrong or right directions. There is simply 'your' direction, and anything else.

[liberal_arts]

I'm aware.

And I take it your center square is also related to fashionable accessories, correct?

[adoringpast]

Fannypacks, in particular.

I can't believe it either, I mean how can I make fannypacks more fashionable in the city? We're already missing two colors.

[prometheanflame]

I'm sorry, but why are you telling me this? Is this how you deal with unwanted callers?

[liberal_arts]

Actually.




That sounds rather fascinating! A real challenge! This could be what I needed.

[liberal_arts]

Why not? It makes for a more interesting conversation than apologizing and hanging up, doesn't it?

[prometheanflame]

...Yes, it does.

But what if I do want to speak with my mother?

[adoringpast]

Wait, really? You can do that?

[ because holy shit?? sena is still have doubts considering the lack of cool colors, but ]

But you're an artist, not an accessory maker or something. How are you gonna do that?

[liberal_arts]

Well a polite farewell is probably in order, then.

[liberal_arts]

I'm a multi-media artist. You'd do well not to doubt my skills.

[prometheanflame]

...It was a pleasure speaking with you. Thanks for being understanding. [And not hanging up on him immediately.]
