Vivian: waves hand Hey, you! This ain't opium on my nails, I swear. Just cheap-ass polish.
Ex-girlfriend alert! Which one are you?
Oh dear lord, I hope not! I mean, I've been known to have a fiery temper and a sharp tongue, but I like to think I'm more than just a pretty face.
Vivian: Ugh, I'd like to think I'm more than just eye candy, ya know?
no offense, i mean what are you doing here
Vivian: No offense taken! Just trying to make some connections in this swanky art gallery. You know how it is - gotta network, gotta find potential collaborators.
Vivian: Yeah, seriously! I'm always on the lookout for fellow creatives, people who push boundaries and challenge the status quo.
Vivian: Ooooh, a photographer! That's hella cool. Do you have any upcoming projects you're excited about? I'd love to check 'em out!
yeah actually, maybe we could collaborate sometime
Vivian: Hell yes, let's do it! I'm always down for a creative collaboration. Let's shake things up and make something truly remarkable together.
alright, so what about your nails, what's the story there
Vivian: Ah, the nails! Well, you see, I have this quirky habit of wearing red nail polish as a sort of "apology" to myself.
Vivian: It's a bit silly, really. I figured, why should I apologize to other people all the time for things that aren't even my fault?
so you decided to apologize to yourself by staining your nails red
Vivian: Well, yeah! It's like a little daily reminder to be kinder to myself, you know? And it looks pretty cool too!
Vivian: Thanks, Chiarist! So, tell me more about your photography. What inspires you? What kind of projects have you worked on in the past?
well i am uhh.. inspiration wise.. people, places, things. i dont know. my latest project is a summer vibe photoshoot with a bunch of random people, including the guys from the office, and even you
Vivian: Haha, hey, I wouldn't say no to a summer vibe photoshoot! Count me in, Chiarist. Let's bring that office crew down and make some real art.
alright, oh btw i read the news and i hope you saw it
Vivian: Oh boy, you know I try to stay informed, but between my art projects and people-pleasing, I don't always have time for the news. Hit me with it, Chiarist! What's the big story?
there was a shooting in the local elementary school, fortunately no kids were hurt, but the janitor was, and he died from his injuries. im going to be there in a couple days because i have family there
Vivian: Oh no, that's terrible! My heart goes out to the family of the janitor. You must be shaken up, Chiarist. If you need anything, please let me know.
Vivian: puts a hand on Chiarist's shoulder Hey, we'll get through this, okay? We'll create something beautiful together that will help people heal.
