Okay, this is... kind of a dumb question, but—

[Hope leans back a little and sighs, adjusting the sling around his left arm with a slight wince. He's somewhat arched awkwardly over the journal's view, the book itself spread across his lap since he currently only has one hand to work the thing.]

I just moved into a new house, and I'm sick of this colour. [He shifts his upper body to the side, attempting to prop up the journal to show what he means. What the camera catches instead is a blurred view of the plain walls zipping past before it slips from his hand and falls to the floor with a thump.

Heaving an exasperated sigh, the boy stoops to pick the thing up, dropping it onto the bed next to him with a bit of a scowl.
]

... forget it. But really, I'm going to paint the walls in my room this time, and I don't care if I get in trouble. So... does anyone know what would be a good colour, because... um... my favourite colours wouldn't look very good. [Day-Glo orange walls? No.]

[A pause.]

Can we... can we even get paint here?

--

[Very shortly thereafter, because he's stir-crazy after spending several days recovering from the battle, he'll be found either en route to or at the the plaza—which is essentially right next to his new home (House #41) anyway—journal tucked beneath his good arm.]

I'd have to get a feel for the Shui of the room, but I can tell you right now that any sort of yellow is definitely out.

The... the what?

Feng Shui, dude. Ever watch Trading Spaces?

[ Lightning wasn't at home when Hope made his message, although it would seem that's where she was heading when she catches sight of him just entering the plaza. Immediately the odd sort of absent, faintly-irritated expression she had been wearing disappears, replaced as she approaches him with a faint smile instead. ]

Hey. How are you feeling?

[voice]

[identity profile] contempsi.livejournal.com 2011-06-11 10:38 pm (UTC)(link)
Wait, people trade living spaces here? But... I just moved into this room.

[voice]

[identity profile] sherpahat.livejournal.com 2011-06-11 10:40 pm (UTC)(link)
No, no, Trading Spaces - the TV show!

[He'd been glancing about at the different shops surrounding him with a slightly-perplexed, slightly-glum look on his face; Lightning's question startles him a bit, and the journal slips out from underneath his arm. Thankfully, he manages to catch it in his fingers, heaving a sigh.]

I'm okay. I can't take any more sitting around, though. I hate not having an arm.

[voice]

[identity profile] contempsi.livejournal.com 2011-06-11 10:48 pm (UTC)(link)
Um... I've never heard of any show like that. It sounds pretty boring.

[ She just sighs quietly, reaches out to put her hand on his shoulder for a moment. They might not be out of the woods yet, but injury or no, he managed to make it back from the draft alive. The amount of relief in just that deceptively simple fact is almost enough to overwhelm entirely. ]

It'll heal. Where were you going?

[identity profile] contempsi.livejournal.com 2011-06-11 11:16 pm (UTC)(link)
Uh...

[Hope falters slightly. Well, he did broadcast it on the journals anyway, so if he hadn't mentioned it to her in person she'd just find out from there.]

I want to paint my room.

What's your favourite colour? You could always choose a paler variation! I'm pretty sure you can find paint in one of the stores. A friend of mine has a full set of paints, so I'm pretty sure you'll be able to find them somewhere.

I don't think you would get in trouble. People make all kinds of changes to their houses here, don't they? Besides, I'm pretty sure they have paint at the item shop.

[identity profile] galaxy-nymph.livejournal.com 2011-06-12 12:20 am (UTC)(link)
Did you considering any colours that go with your favourites?

[Video] wrong journal... facepalms forever

[identity profile] contempsi.livejournal.com 2011-06-12 12:26 am (UTC)(link)
Orange... and green. Those are my favourites. I... I don't think they'd look very good on the walls, though. Even if it was a paler shade. [A slightly nervous chuckle.]

What do you mean... a full set of paints? Is it the kind to paint houses with, though? Or just for art?

[Voice]

[identity profile] contempsi.livejournal.com 2011-06-12 12:28 am (UTC)(link)
I-I wouldn't know... I lived in a community house before, and we just moved here a few days ago.

I'll try the item shop. Thank you.

[identity profile] contempsi.livejournal.com 2011-06-12 12:29 am (UTC)(link)
I'm not... very good at that. [A faint laugh.] Um... I've worn stuff that doesn't go together before, and didn't even realize it. I don't want to make the same mistake here...

[identity profile] galaxy-nymph.livejournal.com 2011-06-12 12:33 am (UTC)(link)
What are you favourite colours then?

[identity profile] contempsi.livejournal.com 2011-06-12 12:36 am (UTC)(link)
Orange... followed by green.

[identity profile] galaxy-nymph.livejournal.com 2011-06-12 12:39 am (UTC)(link)
Orange and green...

What about a lighter shade of green with darker green and orange accents?

[Voice]

[identity profile] heavenslament.livejournal.com 2011-06-12 12:42 am (UTC)(link)
You're welcome.

Hm...blue might be nice. [It's a soothing color, at least in her opinion.] Why wouldn't your favorites look good?

[Video] Pfff, it's no problem! ♥ Happens to us all

[identity profile] arcanaxxii.livejournal.com 2011-06-12 12:48 am (UTC)(link)
Really? That happens to be my favourite colour too! I actually don't see the problem of a pale orange wallpaper, I've seen other people have it like that.

Well, they're the types of paint for art, but I don't see why they wouldn't have the ones for painting buildings! It's always worth it to try looking.

[ He wants to what? Lightning pauses, blinking a moment- she never even considered doing anything like that before. ]

Hm. Do they... have paint here?

[voice]

[identity profile] sherpahat.livejournal.com 2011-06-12 02:56 am (UTC)(link)
You'd think that, but Kimi got us all hooked it. Being fruity is pretty catchy, let me tell you.

Maybe something soft. How 'bout blue? That's pretty easy on the eyes...

Or, uh. What kinda colors don't you like? That'd narrow things down a little.

[voice]

[identity profile] contempsi.livejournal.com 2011-06-12 03:33 pm (UTC)(link)
... what are you even talking about? "Fruity"? What's that even supposed to mean?

Why would I want to paint my room in fruit colours? I'm trying to stay away from that kind of thing.
