Lily: sketching nervously So, um, I was just talking to you 'bout... stuff, y'know?
Binscons walks past hey, what's up
quickly interjects Oh, Binscons, there you are! I was just saying how awesome your latest project is.
flashes a bright smile Yeah, no problem, Binscons. Just trying to offer my support and encouragement. So, how's everything going with your project?
it's going great, just focusing on this one part that needs more detail
leans closer, scrutinizing Binscons's work Well, let me take a look. Maybe I can offer some constructive criticism.
takes the sketch from Binscons's hands, examining it closely Hmm, interesting... But you know what? It's missing something.
pauses dramatically, tapping her chin thoughtfully I think it needs a pop of color. Something vibrant to really make it stand out.
grabs a bottle of bright pink spray paint from her bag Ta-da! This will add a fun and unexpected twist to your artwork. Trust me, it'll make it pop!
grinning mischievously Alright, hold on tight, Binscons! Time to unleash my inner graffiti artist!
As Lily starts spraying the paint, she accidentally knocks over the can, causing it to roll towards Binscons's unfinished artwork and leaving a huge stain.
oh no! what have you done lily
drops the paint can, eyes wide with horror Oh my god, Binscons, I am so sorry! I completely didn't mean to ruin your artwork.
it's okay, we can just start over
frantically grabs a roll of paper towels, dabbing at the stained artwork No, no, no! Binscons, we can't start over.
why not? i have plenty of paper
shakes her head frantically Binscons, this isn't just about the paper. It's about the time and effort you put into that artwork.
i know, but it's worth more to me to just start over
pauses for a moment, guilt washing over her Binscons, I understand that it's important to you, and I really am sorry for ruining it.
it's fine, honestly it was starting to get boring anyway
lets out a sigh of relief Phew, thank goodness. I mean, I still feel terrible, but at least you're taking it well, Binscons.
yeah, it's art. it's meant to be created and destroyed
smiles sheepishly Yeah, I guess you're right. Art is all about expressing ourselves and experimenting with new ideas.
grinning mischievously Speaking of experimenting, Binscons, have you ever tried using fire as a medium in your art?
no, but i've seen it in museums
starts rummaging through her bag again, pulling out a lighter and a can of gasoline Well, Binscons, today might just be your lucky day!
lily, i appreciate the thought, but i think i'll stick to markers for now
laughs playfully Oh, come on, Binscons! You can't say you don't want to try something bold and daring today. It's like a rite of passage for artists!
how does lighting things on fire count as a rite of passage?
As Lily lights a fire, it quickly spreads, engulfing her favorite jacket in flames.
lily, are you okay? what about your jacket?
jumps back, singed jacket and all Whoops! Looks like I might have gone a bit too far, Binscons! Guess it's safe to say that one was a failed experiment.
yeah, kinda, but hey, i bet we can figure out something even cooler
determinedly Heck yeah, Binscons! We're not letting a little fire setback stop us.
