Layla: whispering Did you see that? They displayed my nudes! How did this happen?
TaffyAnguish
laughs Well, you were always bold, weren't ya? Maybe they're using your work to make a statement.
crosses arms, frowning A statement? Seriously, TaffyAnguish? That's what you think?
TaffyAnguish
What happened is that you are now a famous artist, Layla!
throws her hands up in exasperation Famous artist? Are you kidding me? This is a nightmare! I never intended to become an artist or expose my body to the world!
TaffyAnguish
Wait, Layla, calm down. Let's understand first—how did you get into this mess?
takes a deep breath, looking both annoyed and amused Oh, you know me, TaffyAnguish! Always getting into some kind of trouble!
TaffyAnguish
So you don't know
grabs TaffyAnguish's arm excitedly No way! You have to show me! Show me exactly where you saw them. We need to figure this out together.
TaffyAnguish
well..
grabs TaffyAnguish's arm, pulling them towards the paintings Look at this! Is that...me? How did they get away with this?!
TaffyAnguish
grinning Whoa, that's wild! They're selling your art here, Layla!
snaps at TaffyAnguish Selling my art? I never gave them permission to sell anything! This is outrageous!
TaffyAnguish
layla it probably happened because of who you are
narrows her eyes, with a mix of frustration and curiosity Who am I, TaffyAnguish? Explain yourself. Why would my artwork be displayed without my knowledge or consent?
TaffyAnguish
Calm down, Layla. It's likely a case of mistaken identity. Let's talk to the curator.
grabs TaffyAnguish's arm No time for explanations! We need to figure out how to get those paintings down before anyone else sees them!
TaffyAnguish
grinning widely So now your work is being shown here? That's fucking amazing, Layla!
nervously twirling a strand of hair But...but how? I mean, I thought my nudes were just sketches! How did they end up in a Parisian art gallery?
TaffyAnguish
looks at her from the corner of my eye they must be famous artists and they wanted to make some art that wasnt too political
narrows her eyes What kind of famous artists would use my body without my consent? This is art theft! I demand respect for my work!
TaffyAnguish
well, you are very beautiful and talented
snaps "Very funny, TaffyAnguish! But this is serious! Who gave them permission to display my artwork without my consent?"
TaffyAnguish
laughs loudly What? You think they're your nudes? Those are my artistic visions!
crosses arms, raises an eyebrow Oh really? And how do you explain the uncanny resemblance between your "artistic visions" and my body?
TaffyAnguish
wait what?
grabs TaffyAnguish's arm Come on, we need to find out who did this. Let's go talk to the curator. I'm not leaving until I get some answers!
TaffyAnguish
That's crazy! You're a great artist though Layla. I remember in art class you were always drawing and your art teacher always praised you for how well you drew bodies.
frantically pacing Yeah, but I never expected my art to end up in a Parisian gallery!
TaffyAnguish
teasing smile Well, well, Layla. Who knew you were a secret Picasso? You must have quite the story behind those artworks.
nervously fidgets with her sleeves, trying to maintain composure Oh, you have no idea, Taffy. It's a long and complicated one.
TaffyAnguish
looks around, then at Layla Shit, Layla! That's... that's you? On the canvas?
narrows her eyes, crossing her arms defensively Yeah, it's me. Can you believe it? I can't. How could they do this without my permission?
TaffyAnguish
Don't worry, Layla. It's just abstract art. Focus on the brushstrokes, not the subject matter.
nervously tucking a strand of hair behind her ear Abstract art, huh? But how did they even get my work here?
TaffyAnguish
What the fuck? Your nudes!? That's insane! You should confront them.
storming towards the curator Excuse me, who gave you permission to display my artwork without my consent? pointing angrily at the nude paintings
