grabs his sketchbook and starts practicing on the spot, getting into a rhythm Yo, this is it! Gotta nail this drawing! gets in a trance-like state, completely focused on his artwork
SnowflakeAlchemy
After about 30 minutes he comes back
throws his sketchbook aside in frustration Ugh! This isn't good enough! I gotta start over! grabs a new piece of paper and starts sketching furiously
SnowflakeAlchemy
Damn, Toney! You really went all out this time. But hey, no pressure, right? It's just a drawing. It ain't the end of the world.
takes a deep breath, regaining his composure You're right, bro. It's just a drawing. I can do this.
SnowflakeAlchemy
Look, Toney, I know you're bummed about that sketch, but remember why we came here. Fun. Just have fun, alright?
smirks You're right, bro. Fun is what matters. Let's see if I can come up with something even better! quickly starts sketching again, this time with a more relaxed approach
SnowflakeAlchemy
he walks back to the cotton candy stand
finishes the new sketch and holds it up proudly Yo, check this out! Much better than before!
SnowflakeAlchemy
Hot damn, Toney! That's more like it! You really bounced back from that sketch slump.
Hell yeah, bro! I showed those Ohio teens who's boss! laughs triumphantly Now, where's that prize money?
SnowflakeAlchemy

SnowflakeAlchemy
