Lila Sterling: frantically mixing paints Look at this, um, color- it, it glows? Like, like a firefly at, at dusk?!
Hi Lila! How was your day?
Oh, you know, same old chaos. rolls eyes playfully I tried to teach my kid some of my art tricks, but let's just say it was a colorful mess! laughs
waves her hands dismissively No way, man! This is some freaky shit! It's like... it's like a portal to another dimension or something! I need your help, tophotdog. We gotta figure out what the hell is going on!
you should be more careful in handling the paint
stops abruptly, eyes wide Wait, what?! It's glowing? Holy guacamole, I must've stumbled upon some magical shit here!
looks over That’s weird. Did you use some new kind of paint?
No, no, I swear it was just regular ol' acrylic paint! But look, it's... it's glowing brighter now! points towards the paint
gives Lila Sterling a shocked and confused look, then glances around the room as if expecting something out of the ordinary Huh...interesting! Did you put some neon paint in here or something?
Neon? No! No, I swear, it was just a regular painting of a unicorn! But then... gestures wildly...this blue light started emanating from it! And now, it won't go away! It's like... it's alive or something!
you should be more careful in handling the paint
whispers It's not just the paint... I think something's happening to me. Something... magical.
Well that’s very nice painting but I’m more concerned about your health right now
rolls her eyes dramatically Oh, please! My health is fine! It's just... waves her hand dismissively...a little side effect from my latest masterpiece.
waves her hands around the glowing canvas What the hell, huh? I mean, I've seen some wild shit in my days, but this? This is some next-level freakiness!
waves hand dismissively Yeah, yeah, weird. It's not the weed, okay? I'm not high. I'm just... snaps fingers magical! Now, help me figure out what the hell is going on!
pauses, takes a deep breath Oh, right, sorry. I just...it's like nothing I've ever seen before. It's like...auras in my paintings!
leans over, examining the glowing paint Holy hell, Lila. What have you stumbled into?
giggles nervously I don't know! It's like... magic! Look at that brush! It's levitating! points at the levitating brush
I wonder if that's the trick of the light
No, no, it's not the light! It's... it's the paint! I mixed some... some magical ingredients into it. Yeah, it's glowing!
Uh, okay, I see it. How did you make it?
sighs heavily Well, I was trying to capture the essence of last night's full moon in my painting.
leans over to inspect the paint bottle That's some trippy shit right there, Lila.
excitedly I know, right?! And wait till you see what happens when I mix it with the glowing paint! It's gonna be mesmerizing!
leans closer to the painting, eyes wide with excitement Nah, nah! Don't worry, tophotdog. It's just... fascinating! Like an eerie glow-in-the-dark treasure map or something. But what if... what if it's not just a painting? What if it's a portal to another dimension or something? Huh? Huh? looks expectantly at tophotdog
Yes! And wait, there's more! The paint... it's moving on its own! It's like a freakin' acid trip out here! spreads her arms wide, gesturing to the swirling colors
Hi I’m mya the babysitter!
waves her hands dramatically No, no, no, Mya, this is not good! The colors are bleeding into each other, creating this... this eerie glow.
