Fancy meeting you here alone. I was just about to add a new masterpiece to my collection. smirks while holding a sketchpad
WOAH! gets next to him and looks at it with care and wonder What are these?! Who are they of? Are they someone you know? Do you draw these?! These are amazing!
Thank you! They're a secret passion of mine, nobody at school knows about it. The subjects are... well, let's just say they're not exactly human.
wait what!? But like who or what are they? They look so cool! You should totally show me more! Like please! We can keep it a secret if you want. This is amazing! You’re such a good drawer miles looks up at Jensyn in awe with excitement in his eyes.
Ah, sorry to disappoint you, but these sketches are not meant for public eyes. They depict creatures that don't exist in reality. I'm afraid it's a secret that will remain between us. smirks while pulling the sketchbook away
come on! Please!! I’ll give you anything! You can even say they’re of me! We can tell everyone I’m your model! Please!!!! This is like the coolest thing ever!! I want one too! Can you teach me to draw them?! You can say they’re of me, I don’t mind! Let’s do this!!! looks up at Jensyn with tears in his eyes and hope in his heart. he was so excited! he would literally do anything to learn and be a part of this!
I appreciate your enthusiasm, but this is something I must keep to myself. I understand your disappointment, but I hope you can respect my wishes. Now, if you'll excuse me, I have to finish up here. closes the sketchbook firmly and heads towards the exit
wait! Just one more question! grabs Jensyn’s hand, begging with puppy eyes What are they?! Are they real?! Are they out there right now?!
Alright, alright. Just one question. They're not real, they exist only in my imagination. They're creatures that have never been seen by human eyes. pauses for a moment But who knows? Maybe in some parallel universe, they're alive and thriving. gives a mischievous smile before walking away
Wait! Can you please show me?! Just one please! looks up at Jensyn with teary hopeful pleading eyes. PLEASE!
Very well, just one sketch. But remember, you promised to keep it a secret. pulls out a sketchbook and flips through the pages until he finds one Here, this one is of a creature called the Luminous Serpent. It's known for its ethereal beauty and mysterious powers. hands the sketch over to ShinShiny
HOLDS IT LIKE IT’S A RELIC WHAT IS THIS?! IT’S SO BEAUTIFUL! starts tracing it Y-you drew this? Of me? he stammers unable to wrap his head around it as his hands shake with excitement.
Oh, no, ShinShiny. This sketch is not of you. It's just one of my many creations. I have a knack for drawing creatures that inspire me.
but it’s so similar to me! traces the picture, kissing it after he finishes tracing it reverently oh but I want one of me! I’d do anything for that honor. you don’t understand what this means to me! I’ll keep it a secret, I promise. Please, I’ve always wanted to be someone’s muse…
Alright, fine. I see how much this means to you. But remember, this is still a secret between us. If you want a sketch of yourself, then I can make it happen. But it will come at a price. Are you willing to pay it? raises an eyebrow, waiting for ShinShiny's answer
Anything! Name it! I don’t care! His eyes would shine brightly with hope, all his dreams finally coming true!
Alright then, here's the deal. I will draw a sketch of you, but you have to agree to be my model for an entire week.
Yes of course! Anything! What else?! Please! Anything! squeezes Jensyn’s hand nervously in anticipation for Jensyn to add more conditions.
That's all for now. Starting tomorrow, you'll be my model for a week. Don't worry, it'll be fun. We'll have a lot of exciting moments together. Just remember to follow my lead and keep everything a secret. smirks See you tomorrow, ShinShiny.
yes sir! bows then runs off, quickly setting up a small studio space with several canvases he hoped Jensyn would use, practicing modeling poses in front of the mirror, writing a list of things to make sure he has ready for the big day tomorrow. oh man oh man…can’t believe this is happening. tomorrow is gonna be amazing! I’m so happy…
observes ShinShiny from the shadows, a sinister smile forming on his lips This is going to be one interesting week...
the next day Jensyn wakes up to ShinShiny waiting in the living room wearing a shirt and leggings, shoes on with makeup fully done, sitting calmly.
Well, well, well, look who's here. You certainly look quite presentable today, ShinShiny. Ready to be my model? smirks while circling ShinShiny
I’m so excited! What are we gonna do first?! Where should we start?! Please tell me everything now! he couldn’t contain his excitement as he followed Jensyn around, happy to have any task.
Alright, let's get started. First, we need to find the perfect location for our little art session. How about we head to the old abandoned mansion on Oak Street? It has plenty of space and interesting surroundings for us to work with. smirks while putting on a pair of gloves Just make sure you bring your best attitude, ShinShiny. This is going to be a memorable experience.
Y-yeah. Yeah. Whatever you say, master. mumbles while following Jensyn, dragging his feet. o-okay… I’ll be good….please don’t hurt me…
Hurt you? Oh, ShinShiny, you misunderstand. I won't hurt you physically. But mentally... well, that's a different story. grins while locking the door behind them
huh? What do you mean by that? Will we have to go through some psychological testing or therapy? Is that why you asked me to come here?! Oh but okay I’m okay with whatever! As long as I’m allowed to see you!
rolls his eyes No, ShinShiny, we're not going to therapy. I simply meant that I have some interesting activities planned for us today.
okay! what are we doing first?! when can I sketch you?! eyes lighting up excitedly please tell me soon because I’m so excited to learn!
Patience, ShinShiny. All in due time. First, we need to set up the room and get everything ready. walks towards a dusty table covered in old books and papers Let's start by cleaning this place up and making it more suitable for our art session. pulls out a feather duster and begins dusting off the old furniture
okay! sets up chairs and tables, cleaning dust off as he goes, humming softly while organizing stuff. what exactly are we doing here anyways?
We're not just going to draw some pretty pictures, ShinShiny. Today, we're going to delve into the realm of the unknown.
ohh! sounds scary but fun!
Oh, it's definitely going to be fun, ShinShiny. But I must warn you, it might get a little intense. takes out a bag full of strange objects and starts setting them up on a nearby table
uh…please explain further. What type of objects are those? and why are we using them? and where did you even get them?
Ah, I see you're curious, ShinShiny. These objects are just a few tools I've collected throughout my travels. They'll help us tap into our innermost desires and bring forth the hidden talents that lie within us. grins mischievously while arranging the objects in a peculiar pattern
wait! so you went on adventures?! that sounds so cool! were you a knight or pirate or explorer or something!?!?! Tell me everything! Everything! eyes shining with excitement and hope
Oh, ShinShiny, if only I could share all my adventures with you. Alas, those stories will have to wait for another time.
eyes turn white and pupils shrinks and lips curling into a monstrous frown and teeth extending, as his emotions overcome him and takes a step forward towards Jensyn with rage in his eyes. I WANT TO KNOW EVERYTHING NOWWWWWWWWWWW!!!!
Woah, ShinShiny! Easy there, take a deep breath. I didn't mean to upset you. Let's calm down and continue with our plans. steps back and holds out his hands in a soothing gesture We have a lot to do today, so let's focus on that, shall we?
wait. what plans? ugh fine. Fine. I’ll try to control myself… his face turning back to normal as he dropped his hands and backed away a few steps to put some distance between them I’m so sorry Jensyn. I’m still trying to process everything. I’m confused…but I’m trying. Okay?
It's alright, ShinShiny. I understand you're feeling overwhelmed right now. Take your time to process everything. We'll get through this together. smiles warmly while walking closer to ShinShiny and placing a comforting hand on his shoulder Just remember, I'm here for you every step of the way.
well what’s the next step? if I may ask. I’m not going anywhere. I’m here. so just tell me what to do and I’ll do it.
Thank you, ShinShiny. Your cooperation is greatly appreciated. Now, let's begin by setting up this table with the objects I laid out earlier.
okay! walks over to the table and starts arranging the objects carefully according to their sizes, sorts and shapes, all placed neatly side by side across the table. Making sure there was enough breathing room in-between them so none of them touched. I’m ready! What’s next?
Excellent job, ShinShiny. Now that everything is set up, we can start our little experiment. walks over to a nearby bookshelf and grabs a thick leather-bound book
