Tofu was painting on a clean canvas. Her brush strokes seemed to be abstract.
"Hello Tofu. What are you painting?" Lua came up to her and asked.
"This is the music of my mind! Isn't it wonderful?" She declared, trying to act magestic.
"...You can't..hear a painting.." Lua slowly said to her.
"..Hmph." Tofu turned away from Lua and crossed her arms. "You're not any different from my family.."
"Well.. What does your family say?" Lua asked
"The same thing! You cannot hear a painting! It's nonsense! It's like saying you can't look at a flower." Tofu shook her head.
"Hmm.. Can you teach me how to 'hear' your painting?" Lua asked, trying to show sympathy for Tofu.
Tofu placed her hand on her chin. "Maybe, I could!""So, you look at the painting, and imagine it's sound!" Tofu said proudly. Lua took a good long look at the painting.
"What do you hear?" She questioned, excited.
"I hear... the bold hum of a horn?" He said.
Tofu laughed. "Yes yes! Very good! I myself hear a soothing chord of the strings!"
Lua looked at the painting again. "Huh! I guess it's just up to your imagination?"
"Indeed indeed! The mind can go wherever it pleases! Try to find it's limits all you want, but you never will!" Tofu announced cheerfully."Alright! On the count of three! One.. Two.. Three!" Shroomy shouted in the main hall. Jaden, Chargii, and Shroomy were playing with shoes to pass the time. Whoever could throw it the farthest wins. It wasn't safe.. at all.. but they didn't care honestly.
Jaden threw the shoe, and it got pretty far down the hall.
Shroomy threw the shoe, and it got pretty close, but not quite.
Chargii tossed the shoe, and it didn't get as far as the others."Bastard! This thing is rigged!" She yelled.
Jaden and Shroomy smiled at her in that dissapointed, yet entartained way.
"What are you two looking at? I demand a rematch!"
"Madam, this is the third rematch that you've demanded. I think it's safe to say.. You lost." Jaden told her.
"Who's the queen, darling?" Chargii put her hands on her hips and puffed her chest out in a really sadsy way.
"Well, I'm next in line since I'm your sister.. so.." Jaden shrugged. Chargii grumbled.
"Fine! You win Jaden! You have the longest arms in the castle."
"Thank you, madam." Jaden said, awkwardly.Pants was doing her work in the kitchen, as usual, when she heard a rustling sound coming from the cabinet.
...You have got to be kidding me.. She thought. She rushed to the cabinet and swung it open. Inside was Sketchy, crawling around.
"...Hello!" He said with a grin, waving his hand.
"Why are you here?? I thought I told you to stay in the dungeon during day!"
"Oh well, dear, I was getting bored down there, you know?" He sighed. "..It's quite cramped in here. May I come out?"
"No!"
"Aww, why not?"
Pants put her head in her hands."I swear to god, you drive me insane." She mumbled.
"Are you sure? You seem quite sane right now." Sketchy said, leaning out of the cabinet.
"Look, I'm gonna need you to stay in there." Pants closed the door to the cabinet.
"Okay-"
"And dont get your filthy hands on the plates.."
"....Too late!"
"...." Pants put her head in her hands again. "Why are you like this?!" She questioned.
Sketchy opened the door to the cabinet again. "Because, why not?" Sketchy closed the door once again.
Pants stared at the door in anger.
It opened again.
"Don't answer that question." Sketchy said, before closing it again.
