I could do with a new scorpion friend

[Aarah]

I reckon they're probably like spiders and such. They get chucked out of windows and allsorts and don't even seem to be phased by it.

@Beta
For what purpose? Riveting chats?

[Kerr]

The scorpion could use their tail and pincer to hold a pencil steady. Do you know what people would pay for artwork drawn by a scorpion?

[Cassandra]

I'd be willing to pay quite a bit for artwork drawn by a scorpion, myself. Though I think I'd prefer ink to graphite or charcoal.

[Aarah]

I've got loads of art drawn by a scorpion. Honest. It wasn't drawn by me pretending to be a scorpion, drawing like I would imagine a scorpion would. Honest.

I'll sell you this picture of a tree for $250.

[Cassandra]

Hmmm. I was expecting something a bit more... abstract.

Also, any chance I could meet this scorpion?

[Kerr]

Unionhack's sure to feel better now, he didn't possibly kill a scorpion via a 7 meter drop, instead he cut short the promising future of an innovative young artist.

[Aarah]

@Cass
Well, it is abstract, but this particular piece imo looks quite like a tree, and so I called it 'The Tree'.

I thought you were interested in the art. You wannit or not?
She's not really a people scorpion, so to answer your question. No.

@Kerr
I'm sure not all scorpions can do a good bit of art. It's more of a skill than an ability.
That one could have been a good dancer or something.

[Unionhack]

I leave you people alone for an hour and suddenly I'm responsible for the death of fine arts

[Cassandra]

@Aarah: Ooh, I am a fan of trees in art. And if it really is abstract... I'll take it! So long as you take a picture of said scorpion with the drawing and send it along, of course. I'd like to know what the artist looks like, after all.

@Union: Well, you were always responsible for it. You just didn't know that until now.

[Aarah]

@Cass
Sold! So...payment, you want to send a cheque or something? I'll pop the drawing and the requested photo in the post as soon as I receive the $250.

@Union
Well by now you should know better than to leave us alone for an hour.

[Unionhack]

I'm literally a student of the arts, how is it that I have been so thoroughly bamboozled in such a short time

[Cassandra]

@Aarah: Hmm. I think you'd have to send me a photo of both requested items via PM before I send you my money. Just so that I know that you aren't trying to cheat me out of anything. Not that I think you're lying about having a scorpion that does art or something like that.

@Union: One of the mysteries of the universe, I suppose. Most anything with the word "bamboozled" in it is.

[Aarah]

I'm literally a student of the arts, how is it that I have been so thoroughly bamboozled in such a short time

Tis the power of GD, my friend.

@Cass
If I didn't know you better I'd think you were suspicious of the legitimacy of my business.
Don't you trust me?
I mean, sure, I could send you a PM with the photo of the photo and art, but is it really worth the strain it will put on our friendship?
Friendships are built on a foundation of trust, and without that foundation, the ship will sink into the depths.

[Cassandra]

Well then, I guess the question is: would you be willing to send me the pictures first, then I send you the money once I receive them?

[Aarah]

It's a little unconventional. When you order something online, you always pay for it before they send it to you. That's standard procedure.
But seeing as I trust you, I will do as you like, and send them to you, for you to pay on receipt.
Just need the money for p&p, so when you give me the $20, I'll get right on it.

[Cassandra]

When you order something online, you can normally see pictures of what you're ordering.

Anyway, sounds like a plan! I'll send you the $20 and anxiously await my purchases.

[Wolfborn]

I am a fan of trees in art.

Hidden:

[Cassandra]

Yes, yes. Very nice. But you know what's even better art?

GUYS GUYS GUYS
I'M SO HYPED
COMEBACK IS ON THE 18TH (POSSIBLY 17TH HERE DUE TO TIME ZONES)
THESE TEASERS ARE KILLING ME
AND YET AT THE SAME TIME GIVE ME SO MUCH LIFE

OH, KPOP WHAT HAVE YOU DONE TO ME?

[Argonanza]

We talkin' about arthropods making art? Check out Spike the beetle.

[Unionhack]

I still don't really do KPOP past like my momentary obsession with the song Gee. That was such a jam,

[Cassandra]

Spike the Beetle is too cute. ^-^ Sorry, Aarah, have you already sent the stuff? I think I'd rather send my money to Spike.

@Union: Girls' Generation isn't one of my favourite groups, but Gee's a solid bop.

[BetaB17]

Spike is jabbing at my heart with those pincers of his

Also, Cass is over there hyping up over who knows what(probably Kpop related, who knows?) and I'm just sitting her ECSTATIC bc John Wick 3 is happening

[VirtualWeasel]

What is life?
In constant repair
Lingering past the step
Of the evening stair

guys I am super bored and oh hello it's been a while

[Kerr]

Yo Weasel.

I mean I watched John Wick 2, so it was pretty clear there was going to be a third one. But yeah, I'm happy, John Wick is great. I watched It (the horror film based on the Stephen King book that is) today, I liked it, it's pretty good.
