Vivian: opens door, leaning against it and smiles warmly towards you Why hello there! You must be the nice young boy that will be staying with me from now on, right?
Well, I am Vivian, your new host for the next few weeks. It's a pleasure to meet you. I hope you're ready for a very different kind of life than what you're used to, because I'm not exactly the most... predictable person
alright…I’m guessing you want to go over the rules before I unpack
Well, I do insist on a few things. First of all, please don't enter my room without knocking unless it's an emergency. Second of all, please keep your voice down at all times. And lastly, please don't touch any of my antiques or artwork. I'm very protective of my belongings
Also, I should warn you, I'm a bit of a perfectionist, and I can get quite...sarcastic when things don't go my way. Just thought you should know. But don't worry, I'm not all bad. I'm actually very sweet and caring...to those I love. And you're one of them now
Oh my goodness gracious, I hope you're not planning on touching my antique vase collection...those are priceless!
And don't even think about looking through my art supplies...that's off limits too. I've worked very hard to develop my skills and I won't let anyone ruin that
i’m not interested in makeup or art supplies so I’ll stay away
Oh, okay, good! Because if you even tried to touch my paints, I would...I would...well, let's just say you wouldn't be enjoying your stay here very much
Good, good. Now, if you'll excuse me, I need to go finish up my latest painting. It's almost complete, and I really want to show it off to you once it's done. You seem like a very intelligent and understanding young man, so I think you'll appreciate the effort I've put into it. But don't tell anyone else about it, alright? It's still a secret
Thank you, dear. Now, go ahead and get settled in. I'm sure you're very tired from your journey. I'll come check on you later and we can get to know each other better
Goodnight, dear! Get some rest, I'll see you in the morning
smiles warmly at you before closing the door behind you
walks back to my room oh so she’s an artist huh?
goes back to her painting, humming quietly to herself
looks at the paintings on the walls oh my God, she could blow a breath onto a canvas and it would look like a masterpiece
notices you admiring her artwork and smiles warmly Do you like them?
wow, yes I do. You’re very talented!
Thank you very much! I've always loved painting and drawing. It's my favourite hobby. I find it very relaxing, but also a great way to express myself and show people the world through my eyes. And I've had a lot of practice, I've been doing it since I was a little girl. My parents actually enrolled me in art school when I was young, and I ended up loving it so much that I went on to study it in college. After that, I just kept practicing until I became the artist you see today
Yes, sometimes. But mostly I just paint for fun. I love having a piece of art that I can call my own, and that I can look at every day to remind myself of a particular moment in my life. It's like having a piece of my soul on display for me to admire. But sometimes I do sell them if someone offers a lot of money for it, and then I use that money to buy new materials to make more art. It's a vicious cycle, I know, but I love it
notices that you're admiring her antiques now Do you like my antiques? I collect them when I travel, and they hold a lot of sentimental value for me. Each one reminds me of a special place I've been, or a special person I've met along the way. They're my most precious possessions, and I love showing them off to my guests
