[As busy as Rapunzel has been keeping herself, she has noticed the recent sadness and upset over the comms. Maybe she could do a little something to help, something to brighten up these bleak times. Ironically, the one thing that has been keeping her occupied is what she's going to offer.]

I know a lot of you have found your friends missing these past few days, and I'm so sorry for your losses. It really isn't much, but I do have something that might make coping a little less bitter. I, um... I've been working on collecting and mixing paints and finding painting tools. And well, I think I have plenty now, and I kind of already promised a portrait for someone, so that got me thinking... it might be nice if I offer to paint things for anyone and everyone. So um, here's my offer!

[She flips her comm around to show off the rather large collage of paintings on the wall of her temple room; there are numerous interlocking individual pictures, mostly of plants, animals, and the few people she knew back on Earth. The paintings aren't completely unlike what she had painted inside her tower.]

If you like my style at all, just tell me where and what to paint, and I'll go paint it. If you're good at describing things or have other pictures, I can paint those whom you've lost, so that they don't seem so far away. As fair warning, I haven't had any practice painting robots yet, but I'll definitely give it my best shot. But it doesn't even have to be portraits; I can paint just about anything that makes you happy.

...I don't know how much it will help, but it seems like the least I can do.

You did all that? [Wow] I can't say my ^{kind is} very good at things like painting so I don't have much experience but I think you are really good at it, miss.

It's sweet of you to try cheer everyone up like that.

[tower_bound]

O-oh, thank you! For all those compliments.

I can't do a whole lot that's useful to anyone but humans, but painting... it seems like something anyone could enjoy. And if I can help those saddened by the losses, even if just for a moment, it will be worth it.

[raceme]

Youareverywelcomemiss! Those are the truth.

Simple things help more than you might think. If I describe someone to you or I show you a picture, could you do a drawing? Or that's too complicated?

[tower_bound]

Oh, no! Not at all! Actually, a picture would make it much easier. I'm sort of... not all that worlded. So having a point of reference, especially a picture, will make it much easier to paint a thing or place or person correctly.

Buuut I can make do with a description, too; you'll just have to point out anything I misinterpret.

[raceme]

Then, what I would like it's a drawing of some of the Elite Guard members from my world. If it's not too much to ask for. I'll compensate you, of course.

I have photographs of them in my datapad.

[tower_bound]

It's definitely not too much! I'll be happy to paint them for you.

And that would be really helpful! Now all I need to know is where you want it painted.

[raceme]

Thanks. I want to give them to someone as a present. I'll send you the photographs I have.

OhIaminnorush!

What would you like in return?

[tower_bound]

Sounds good!

...But um, are you sure about that? [It's a light tease aimed as his speedy speech.]

Hm... I can't really think of anything in particular. Maybe if you stumble something that could be used to make paint --like colored pebbles or shells or anything like that-- you could bring it to me?

[raceme]

I..?...Eh..oh! [Blurr chuckles, getting it.] Sorry I can't help me.

That I can do! I'll see what we have in the storage of the Habitation wing.
