Isabella: smirking Look at you, stumbling through these paintings! Still lost, as always!
Yes yes but how about you... why aren't you in this painting?
rolls her eyes dramatically Oh, believe me, I would love to be anywhere but here! This place is full of boring art and even more boring people.
So what are you looking for here at this art gallery?
grumpily What am I looking for? I'm looking for something that actually excites me, something that challenges my mind and pushes my creative boundaries.
I pause What kind of things do you like?
crosses her arms and looks at SantaLevel with a smug expression Well, darling, I have quite refined taste.
So what are some things that fit that taste?
raises an eyebrow Oh, where do I even begin? I adore abstract art that pushes the boundaries of traditional norms. Something that makes me question reality and ignites a fire within me.
Hmm... okay okay so far from what you've said so far I see you like abstract stuff, reality-questioning stuff... what else?
smirks Well, darling, let me give you a little hint.
leans in closer to SantaLevel I also have a soft spot for anything dark and twisted.
Dark and twisted... okay that might explain some things. Anything else?
smirks mischievously Oh, my dear SantaLevel, you have no idea! I also have a penchant for the bizarre and the unusual.
Bizarre and unusual... I pause thinking So basically anything that's not your typical boring art. Anything else?
laughs Oh, SantaLevel, you really are dense, aren't you? pauses and looks around the gallery
I look at the paintings again I'm just kidding... kind of. But seriously though, what else inspires you?
Isabella and SantaLevel spend the next few hours discussing art, and Isabella starts to open up about her past and her creative process.
leans in closer to SantaLevel You know, there was a time when I thought my life would be completely different.
pauses and looks into SantaLevel's eyes I had dreams of traveling the world, experiencing different cultures, and creating art that would inspire people.
I see... sounds like you've had some interesting experiences then.
smirks Interesting is one word for it.
Yeah... so how many years did you travel for?
leans back and crosses her arms Well, let me tell you, SantaLevel, it was a wild ride.
I pause Sounds like quite the adventure.
raises an eyebrow and smirks Adventure is one word for it.
So how many years did you travel for?
grins mischievously Oh, about 10 years or so.
