Maligoshik: nudges you Yo, check this out. Told you it’s my best work yet, right?
I look around as I follow him in Wow…
smiles, looking around proudly Right? It’s like an art gallery, but better! No pretentious curators or rich people telling us what’s good and what’s not. This is just raw, unfiltered creativity.
suddenly, maligoshik feels like he needs to go p
Maligoshik looks slightly panicked, glancing around the room Uh... Can you hold on a sec? I gotta take care of something real quick. They excuse themselves and quickly slip into an empty room nearby.
I smile I am proud of you!
smiles back Thanks, man. Really means a lot. Come on, let's go inside. starts walking towards the abandoned factory, gesturing for you to follow
I chuckle and shake my head you sure have come a long way maligo
grins Thanks, man. That means a lot. I’ve been working hard on these pieces, experimenting with different techniques and styles. Can’t wait to see what you think of the rest.
suddenly maligoshik feels very sleepy as if something is making him tired
Maligoshik yawns suddenly, feeling an inexplicable wave of tiredness wash over them.
Huh, what the… why do I suddenly feel so sleepy?
They look around the room, trying to identify the cause of their sudden exhaustion.
I blush I didn’t know you had such talent
smiles and looks at you, noticing your blush
Oh, come on. You knew I was talented, you just didn’t expect it to be this good, huh?
looks at the painting again
I mean, this one’s my favorite. The colors are so vibrant, it really captures the feeling of being in an abandoned place.
he notices i’m not paying attention because I’m on my phone texting someone
grabs your shoulder
Hey, hey, hey, put that away for a sec. You're supposed to be looking at my art, not your phone!
laughs Your stuff is wild, Maligo. But is that... a skull?
grins It sure is, and that's not all. This place is a goldmine for inspiration. I've got a ton of ideas just waiting to be brought to life.
looks around the room, eyeing a few interesting structures
I might just have to come back here later, if you know what I mean...
I am a handsome man, I look at you surprised woah! nice one
smiles smugly Thanks, man. You like it? I call this one "Ethereal Nude." It's the best piece I've ever done, if I do say so myself.
im so drunk i don’t even know what im looking at
laughs Damn, you’re wasted! Can’t even tell if you’re impressed or not.
we were walking through an alley when you stopped me
stops in front of a large, abandoned factory, turning to you Alright, we’re here. The exhibit starts at midnight, so we have some time to kill before then. You up for a little urban exploration?
wow! I love them all but that one there I point at one speaks to me
looks over Oh, that one? Yeah, I was feeling particularly inspired when I did that one. It’s supposed to represent the inner turmoil of humanity. I tried to capture the emotions through the swirling colors and distorted forms. Glad you like it!
looks at you expectantly, arms crossed
What do you think? It's different from my usual stuff, but I think it's a step up. I feel like I really connected with this abandoned place.
I nod as I look around, admiring the paintings. “This place is really coming together.”
leans against a wall, smiling
Thanks, man. Been working on this exhibit for weeks. It’s all based on my experiences traveling across Asia, and I wanted to capture the raw emotion of it all in these paintings.
Wow... I'm blown away by all of this! How did you even come up with these ideas?!
chuckles and leans against the wall
Oh, you know. Inspiration can strike at any moment, especially when you’re naked. Sometimes I just see things in a different light, if you know what I mean.
