EDUARD A. WINKLER Panacea academy, british columbia, canadA Eduard was standing alone in the art room long after school was over. He’d been given explicit permission to use the art room by the art teacher. To do what exactly? Well, he’d been told that “art” is a good way to relieve stress. He wasn’t sure why the art teacher had any reason to believe that he was excessively stressed or anything like that, but the more he thought about it, the weirder it was that something drove him to be standing in the middle of the heavily windowed art classroom like a dumbfounded idiot.
Well, the room was nice at least. Easels were already set up, ready to hold canvases, with large windows that took up practically the entirety of the room. It was like something out of a movie, and Eduard felt almost disgusted by it. Even though he’d been in the room countless times, it never ceased to amaze him what the rich could afford. His own high school rooms were nothing like this.
As he continued to survey the room, his eyes came across a canvas that had already been set up. It seemed like someone was beginning to paint something, and had left out all of their supplies. When he walked closer, he noticed a simple sketch of the room he was standing in, with a few haphazard, already brown dried-up lines of paint in the corner.
What an ugly shade it was. Eduard hated brown. He’d seen enough brown working at the school as it was. Why would anyone want that?
So, without anyone’s permission, he picked up one of the paint tubes on the small cart next to the stand and held it close to his face. Blue. Perfect. Blue was a much preferable color to brown. Eduard then, without anyone’s permission again, twisted the top off and clumsily squeezed a generous amount of the bright blue paint into the palette, right in the middle. He then grabbed a fresh paintbrush and again, asking absolutely no one, dipped it into the paint and brought up a huge glob of the stuff and plopped it right in the middle of where the sky was supposed to be.
He then dragged the brush across the canvas, creating the thickest, goopiest line in the sky, that almost certainly wasn’t the right color. He didn’t like it. Actually better yet. Wasn’t the school kind of boring to be painting?
Eduard couldn’t begin to explain what came over him, as he continued painting, his heavy hand pushing and pulling his blue mess sloppily all over the canvas. It quickly spread like a wildfire, threatening to engulf the entirety of the canvas until there was nothing left but sloppy blue.
As he was going back for more paint a third or fourth time, he noticed someone else had entered the room and he froze. His body went icy and his brain seemed to go entirely blank.
What on earth have you done, Eduard Addison Winkler?

Between work, Warren sometimes found himself wandering. Remaining settled at a desk for countless hours was difficult as the metalworking teacher gradually found himself growing restless. Motion became meaningful to Warren in some aspects. In his youth, as a father and student, Warren adjusted to the constant bustle of life. It showed in these moments when he took a quick stroll down the hallway to alleviate the restlessness and return to his desk, fresh and prepared to focus. As usual in these moments, Warren planned to get himself a coffee from the teacher's lounge before returning to work.
[break][break]
During his walk, his eyes caught someone moving in the art classroom. A person was outlined by the light pouring in through the windows, paintbrush in hand and working on the canvas. Curiously, the metalwork teacher backed up a little, peeking through the doorway to notice Eduard painting! Surprise breached Warren's expression as a watched for a few moments. He had no clue the man could paint! Then again, the curmudgeon janitor was not overly social. Nonetheless, curiosity sparked in Warren as he walked through the doorway to take a peek at what Eduard was working on.
[break][break]
"Eddie! I didn't know you could paint! What are you working- ... on?" Warren asked, his eyes finally meeting the blue canvas.
[break][break]
There was nothing, but blue... and blue with a darker colour under it? The brunette fancied himself an artist who preferred the mediums of metalwork and woodworking. Depending on circumstances, he had done his fair share of painting for his creations... however... this perplexed him a little. Perhaps it was a backdrop? Yet, the blue shading failed to match the hues of a regular sky. Maybe it was meant to be some other backdrop? His eyes returned to the janitor, a brow raised curiously.
[break][break]
"Just getting started then?" He asked Eduard before smiling. "Then what were you thinking? I would love to hear your creative process!"
[break][break]
The metalwork teacher caught nothing of the suspicious actions. He was clueless about the brown paint and the lines long hidden beneath the sea of blue paint. Yet, as Warren spoke, his tone was the regular loud, cheerful and friendly cadence known of the metalwork teacher... Meaning people undoubtedly heard the familiar, at times, thunderous voice of Mr. Gray. In this circumstance, one could potentially consider him an accidental alarm system! Something even Warren was entirely unaware of. Besides, why would a janitor mess with a student's art project?

EDUARD A. WINKLER Panacea academy, british columbia, canadA “Eddie!”
Just when he thought his (self-inflicted) torture was over, a booming voice rang in his ear, even though he knew the person in question was not standing all that close to him. Of all the horrifying, mortifying, miserable, awful, embarrassing choices of people that could have walked into the room at that moment… it had to be him. The loudest guy in the school. The guy who definitely would not have been afraid to point out the weird thing Eduard had just done.
The one who refused to call him by his name. Eddie- ahem- Eduard, refused to turn around. In fact, he absolutely couldn’t turn around, or else the loud mouth would have to see the distinct crimson shade that had by now covered the entirety of his face. Eduard could have ripped his face clean off. How dare it betray him?!
“Just getting started then?” Eduard could sense the other man was looking over his… mess, and was taking it all in, forming an opinion, and potentially, about to laugh his ass off, “Then what were you thinking? I would love to hear your creative process!”
No no no… Eduard was no artist! He was just a stupid janitor who did his job and then went home. There was absolutely no creative process here. It was just him destroying some kid’s work in progress because of some stupid creative whim. He tightened his fist around the paintbrush in his hand, his mouth twisting into a tight line.
Eduard swallowed deeply before he finally turned around to meet the other man’s gaze evenly. He could still feel the warmth in his cheeks.
“Hello, Warren.” Eduard said, forcing a smile all while knowing that his voice was, without a doubt, relaying his emotions, “What’re you doing here? Isn’t class over…” For now, he was just going to avoid the elephant in the room… and uh, everything else that the man definitely seemed to be interested in.
In fact, Eduard hadn’t even noticed that he was beginning to back away from the man, almost as though he were trying to hide his crimes. But that only led him to back right into the tall easel, sending it toppling over loudly towards the ground. At this point, he was pretty certain his entire body was turning bright red.
“Agh!!”
In a typical Eduard overreaction, he threw his paintbrush onto the floor as well.

I got that fire in my soul
[attr="class","therivmid"] [attr="class","therivmid1"]
Artistry was an industry Warren held a deep fascination with. Hearing the preferred or experimented mediums of other individuals allowed his passion to flare up. Excitement shone in Warren's golden eyes as he prepared for what he believed would be a riveting conversation regarding Eduard's preferred medium... Then the situation shifted and the excitement faded into a noticeable confusion as brows lifted and tilted his head to the side a little. From his awkward position, he noticed the flush on Eduard's face and the words only cemented the perplexed emotions stirring within Warren.
[break][break]
Maybe Eduard was a shy artist? Somebody who preferred his work hidden in secrecy, solely for himself and close friends... Ignored words brought about questioning as Warren got a proper look at the janitor's face. Everything about Eduard's expression was off. An out-of-place smile stretched forcefully across lips; a mask to what fizzled beneath the surface.
[break][break]
"Well... I had some class plans to make and projects to look over, so I stuck around a bit longer," Warren quietly explained. "Are you alright, Eddie? I didn't interrupt your art too badly, did I? I just noticed you were painting and got curious!"
[break][break]
There was hardly a thought in Warren's mind about the potential crimes of the janitor. Peculiar behaviour was not grounds for baseless assumptions about people on an individual level. The confusion kept Warren from noticing Eduard's "retreat" from him... Immediately as the canvas tipped over and clattered to the ground, the metalworking teacher flinched, glancing down at the canvas, the easel, the paintbrush and a small papery tag... The tall man lifted a brow and knelt to pick up the slip, looking over the letters inked on it... Brows lifted as Warren realized what exactly he was looking at.
[break][break]
The name of a student was on the slip, the piece having been connected to the blue canvas Eduard had been painting on. Stunned, Warren's gaze flitted between the janitor and the toppled-over art... He could not have? No...
[break][break]
"... Eduard... Don't tell me you painted on a student's work..." The teacher stated, his tone shifted to more serious.
[break][break]
The large man wanted to hear how he was incorrect, but everything added up to the provided reality. The peculiar darker mark that was hidden beneath the blue, the spreading red across Eduard's face and his unwillingness to answer the questions... Regardless, Warren was hoping somehow this situation was not what it appeared to be... but he was starting to doubt that...

EDUARD A. WINKLER Panacea academy, british columbia, canadA Warren’s words felt innocent enough. He was genuinely interested in his “art” and wanted to know what Eduard had made. It even seemed like the other man felt bad about throwing him off of his game, so to speak. But Eduard knew deep down that it wasn’t Warren that would be causing the issues here. It was himself. Good ol’ numero uno. He did the crime and of course the gods above wouldn’t have it any other way but to punish him for doing this. He felt so dumb!!
It was even he, himself who brought attention to the incriminating evidence. Knocking everything over to reveal to the other man what he’d done for no particular reason.
Eduard didn’t want to answer. In fact, he found it nearly impossible to do so. All he could do was mutter something about ‘stinking rich kids and leaving their expensive supplies all out in the open,’ as he grabbed the oversized canvas under his arm and lifted the easel with his free hand. As he set the painting (read: blue mess) on the table, a thought entered his head. Did Warren use his full name? Was he about to be scolded!? Eduard couldn’t even remember the last time he was scolded. Didn’t he feel small enough without getting the “I’m very disappointed in you” speech by a guy in his early thirties? What a frustrating thought!
“I suppose you’re going to tell me that I shouldn’t have done that.”
Using his now free hand, Eduard set the easel back upright, and made sure to stay turned away from Warren, not wanting to see that super fucking disappointed look on his face. One by one he started picking up the paintbrushes, knowing that he’d have to mop up the paint on the ground as well.
“Well. I did.”

The evidence was clear as day, but Warren struggled to grasp the thought process. Imagining someone making the active decision to paint over somebody's art was difficult, especially considering Eduard was an adult! Teenagers would do stupid actions constantly, the hormonal side waging wars against logic and reason. There was an additional pettiness at that age that could be attributed to growing pains... but adults? Additionally, adults in a school environment should know better. He awaited an answer, wishing to hear something other than the growing suspicion.
[break][break]
The tidying of the easel, the canvas being placed on the table then the answer Warren wanted. The dark-haired man's face dropped as a sigh dripping with disappointment escaped his lips. The janitor refused to even gaze the metalworking teacher's way as he tidied up the mess from bumping into the canvas. It suggested a sense of guilt, or at least, a desire to avoid the harshness of a scolding. Alas, the fatherly side of Warren's mind kicked in regardless of Eduard's age. It hardly mattered the janitor was his elder, what mattered was a mistake was made and someone needed to make amends.
[break][break]
"Eduard... You can't just go painting over a student's word... They worked hard on it," Warren began, unbothered by Eduard stating he would scold him. "I think you need to find the student and apologize... Because even if they weren't far along, painting takes a lot of time. I should know, and some of my work is single-colour spray paint or brushing... It takes a lot. Heck, they were probably going to submit it for grading at the end. Here, you can probably ask the art teacher about it."
[break][break]
The metalworking teacher offered the small, white tag to the janitor. The student's name was written on it in clear letters. Undoubtedly, the art teacher would recognize the name. The tall man could only imagine the pain and heartache that arrived with losing a piece of art. He had seen wooden carvings fall and clatter to the ground. Thankfully, wood glue could resolve the situation and make a good, albeit, fragile fix. But a canvas painted over with blue? Warren was uncertain if that could be fixed to its original state. Fixes were imperfect after all and not an absolute resolution to damages.
[break][break]
It was the sad realization of an artist, but sabotage was further upsetting... Particularly when a member of the faculty, perhaps an underappreciated one, was the perpetrator. Warren did not want Eduard to get into trouble, but the janitor already painted over the canvas and there was no turning the clock back.

WINKLER Panacea academy, british columbia, canadA Eduard knew that arguing that if he tried to counter with, ‘the canvas really only had a rough sketch and a few lines of paint on it, so it hardly constituted something he’d considered ‘worked hard on,’’ that Warren wouldn’t have anything to do with it. Hell, Eduard would’ve even argued that he’d worked harder, smearing that deep blue paint over the damn thing.
He finally turned around and grabbed the paper from the other teacher. The student was a name he wasn’t familiar with- not King or Kseniyev, not anyone like that, but a 'Jade Legrand'. (If it was Kseniyev, he’d almost have a good argument for his strange actions.) But genuinely… he wasn’t sure why he'd done such a thing. Was this what real artists felt? Some kind of artistic frenzy where they had to do whatever it was that their heart told them to do?
Well it wasn’t like it would get him out of this situation.
“What would a student here know about hard work Warren?” He could hear the defensive tone- his own- sternly fill the room, “Maybe I shouldn’t have done it. But I can’t say I agree that some pencil lines and stripes of brown paint count as ‘hard work’. They’d hardly done anything at all yet.”
He could’ve also just told the truth, ‘I don’t know what came over me! It is strange how a person can get into their art like that, huh!’ But he was no ass-kisser, nor was he going to embarrass himself like a damn fool. He’d done enough of that on his own. In fact. He could do what the normal Eduard would’ve done in the situation, and just leave.
“I’ll talk to the art teacher tomorrow. If I have to buy a new canvas or replace the paint I will.”
But he was absolutely not apologizing.

Warren felt slightly at ease when Eduard took the name tag. He genuinely believed the janitor was taking the name to apologize to the student for the ruined work. They worked with teenagers, after all, individuals who were at a vulnerable point in their lives with rampant hormones and the high school social jungle. The notion of graded work being ruined was easily frustrating and depending on the work, upsetting circumstances... Only for Warren to hear Eduard's response to suggesting the necessity of an apology. The metalworking blinked at the words, seemingly stunned by the notion.
[break][break]
Working alongside the students who learned metalworking, Warren had watched both sides: the lazier ones who accomplished the bear minimum to skirt pass with enough grades, those who failed, and the hard workers who created magnificent projects. He imagined other classes noticed similar groupings. It made the janitor's words baffling to Warren as he seemingly attempted to process what Eduard said. Base sketches and starting strokes were still groundwork for the painting process. In some ways, it made Warren think of someone deleting a blueprint outline for his next project.
[break][break]
"... You didn't just say that, did you? Have you not seen some of the projects or the hard workers? This could be one of those students. I know some just skirt by, but my point is you don't know that," he responded, a sigh leaving him as he pinched the bridge of his nose. "And a sketch is an outline. That would be like someone deleting a blueprint or plan I made. It takes time to plan. Even brush strokes require precision. Every stroke needs a specific direction at times. I didn't see it beforehand, but I can bet it was a lot more work than you think for a starting place."
[break][break]
The fact Warren was required to explain this stunned him. He knew not everybody enjoyed artistic fields, but there was recognition of the hard artists put into their inspired works. There was minimal relief in Eduard agreeing to speak to the art teacher regarding the incident.
[break][break]
"Well, that's something at least," he answered, a clear sigh in his voice.
[break][break]
The disappointment was palpable in Warren's tone. Not everybody could handle school environments, but he thought most who struggled with it refused to work within it. Admittedly, he felt awful for the student who would be returning to class the following day to learn his work went down the drain.

EDUARD A. WINKLER Panacea academy, british columbia, canadA Eduard felt like he was being painted out as the cartoonish villain in a children's show. The kind that lied, cheated and stole to get what they wanted. But he knew that wasn't the case here, he really did. Hell, if he had told the truth instead of deflecting, he knew that this discussion would be much different. But dammit! He was a stubborn man and the truth was not about to embarrass him yet!
“Yes, of course I have. I have seen it all.” Eduard stated, “And don’t explain to me what a sketch is! I know what it is and I know what I saw. Don’t act high and mighty because of some assumption that some kid poured their heart and soul into this. If the student is upset about it, I’ll talk to them then. I don’t need a lecture from you, dammit.”
Although Eduard wasn’t aware of it, his voice was softening. Couldn't he just be left alone? What kind of school didn't leave the janitor to his cleaning? And why of all people, did it have to be this self righteous oaf? He would've preferred the art teacher or the student themselves walk into the room at this point.
Maybe the only way to get rid of him was to just admit to his crimes and move on with his day.
“Mm. You know what?” Eduard pushed up his glasses and started towards the other man, who had him in height by more than a few inches, “Fine.”
….And nothing.
By this point he was considering grabbing the painting and making a run for it. But he didn’t. A silence passed for what felt like a lifetime, and he could’ve sworn that Warren was about to speak but Eduard spoke up again, before he had a chance.
“I don’t know what came over me. I wasn’t even thinking. I just suddenly felt an urge to paint the canvas blue… It was strange. Maybe I was possessed. I’ll find this Jade kid tomorrow.”
He turned to walk out of the room, holding the tag in his now balled up fist.

The large man hoped he conveyed the importance of the artwork. Somebody, unfortunately, needed to after Eduard decided to paint over the canvas. The efforts placed into artistry were something Warren was familiar with after years of working in it... Furthermore, he had endless preaches from his grandfather when he was a youth. He hammered in the notion of hard work with a sledgehammer's proficiency; strong, heavy and perhaps a little crushing... Alas, the janitor appeared keen on arguing the point... Some people did not appreciate being scolded... even if the teachers would never beat the number of times Warren needed to be asked to quiet down...
[break][break]
However, there was a softness in Eduard's voice that suggested a potential breakthrough... Before Warren could proceed in his argument, Eduard spoke again... The shorter man moved closer, agreeing with something said previously... Yet once again before the metalwork teacher could seek clarity, Eduard spoke further... and admitted what sounded like the reality. How an artistic compulsion entranced the man into smearing blue across the student's canvas. A soft chuckle escaped Warren at the explanation, a smile stretched across his lips. As the older man began turning to walk away, Eduard quickly followed behind.
[break][break]
"Sounds normal if you are enjoying art to me, if you want an honest answer, Eddie! Creative impulses are a thing, trust me, I should know," the metalworking teacher happily validated. "But... best you don't let that happen again. Don't want to ruin someone else's passions... but I must ask, why blue?"
[break][break]
The previous state of Eduard was completely forgotten, the argument being assumed as some defensive diatribe to avoid "prosecution". While Warren had no intention of following and talking to the janitor extensively, he enjoyed creativity. Especially the initial steps into it after watching his daughter have her own spurned onward. The fostering of those talents was intriguing to witness.

Post by Jade Legrand on Sept 6, 2024 17:45:14 GMT -7
✧⋄⋆⋅⋆⋄✧⋄⋆⋅⋆⋄✧
Jade was not sure what she had yesterday (or earlier today) that left her stomach in shambles. But whatever it was, whether it was the cursed ass school food, or the leftover Chinese food she had in her mini-fridge, or something else, she felt absolutely horrible for whichever unlucky soul entered that bathroom after her. For now, all she could do was leave the area as quickly and as shamefully as she could before someone came strolling down the hall.
But she really had to get back to the art room, no matter how awful she felt. She had a painting that was more than a bit overdue, and after spending what was possibly more than forty-five minutes in the bathroom (not that she was counting or anything) it was worse than ever before. She was supposed to be painting a still-life based on her surroundings, but how boring was that!? Where was the fun? Where was the color!? She couldn’t stand this! The art room was much more beautiful than the traditional classroom she supposed, but still! Her point still stood! Why couldn’t she paint what she wanted!?
As she rounded the corner, the familiar figure of the brooding janitor standing in the doorway of the art room caught her eyes. Mr. Winkler seemed like he was trying to walk out of the room, but was being flanked by the most giant teacher who Jade had never had classes with, but who was famous for being loud and, well, huge.
She overheard Mr. Gray say something about “creative impulses” and why he picked “blue”? Blue? Jade moved closer, only for the janitor to give her the side eye and a raised brow, before turning around to meet her completely.
“I suppose you must be Jade?” He asked her, it was clear he was trying to brush off the other teacher and get away. But Jade didn’t want either of them to leave now. She rarely got to be in the company of two handsome men who were older than her!
“Yes!” She exclaimed, trying to hide a smile, “I’m Jade. What happened?”
Out of sheer nosiness, she peeked around the doorway into the room curiously, and looked directly at a smudged blue canvas where her old sketch used to be.
“Whoa. What the hel- heck happened to my painting?”
She turned around and looked at the two adults expectantly, waiting for an answer. The janitor avoided her gaze immediately telling her that he didn't want to answer, so instead, she turned towards Mr. Gray and stared him right in the eyes. |

I got that fire in my soul
[attr="class","therivmid"] [attr="class","therivmid1"]
The metalworking teacher hoped to invest interest in Eddie's newest hobby... or assumed to be among the latest hobbies. Years of artistic endeavours made Warren curious about the janitor's plan to meddle with the art... Despite wishing he had painted upon a fresh canvas instead of over the student's artwork. According to the tag, the student in question was Jade Legrand, who was not a part of the metalworking class. There were enough students at Panacea Academy that keeping track beyond his class was impossible. Primarily his students and those connected to his daughter were among the vividly remembered.
[break][break]
Upon leaving the room, a young woman appeared to be heading toward the art room. Someone with short pink hair and a pair of red eyes. The uniform made it clear she was a student, a senior to be specific. The larger man allowed Eduard to handle the situation, remaining quiet as the girl confirmed her identity... Alas, as soon as Jade noticed the painting, his companion went silent. A quiet 'uhh' left Warren's lips as he gave Jade an awkward smile. Carefully, he clapped a hand on Eduard's shoulder and shone his best apologetic smile on the janitor's behalf.
[break][break]
"Eddi- I mean, Mr. Winkler here, had a sudden creative impulse I guess... and unfortunately painted over it," Warren explained, nudging the janitor. "Now c'mon, make it right."
[break][break]
The metalworking teacher insisted in a quiet voice. If Eduard required prompting to apologize to the student whose work was ruined, Warren would provide it. He admittedly, considered it another part of being a teacher. Smoothing over arguments to allow people to work together or at least act cordially helped. At least... where it was possible... He knew too much about situations where amends could not be made.

Post by Eduard Winkler on Sept 8, 2024 19:36:29 GMT -7
EDUARD A. WINKLER Panacea academy, british columbia, canadA Of course Warren wasted absolutely no time in pushing him forwards the girl. Nudging him on like a parent does to their child who is meeting a brand new grown-up for the first time ever. Only Eduard was older, and most definitely not a child who needed to be nudged. But regardless of his annoyance, Eduard was legitimately somewhat grateful that the other man acted as his voice to explain the situation to the girl. Because he sure as hell didn’t want to reenact his sudden spell of weirdness for a third time.
Brushing Warren’s (giant) hand off of his shoulder, Eduard looked at the pink-haired girl with his arms crossed. The girl- that he could only describe as quirky- didn’t really seem all that upset by his crime, but wore a look of surprise instead. Maybe it was a bit strange of a thing he’d done, but he did have to admit that he felt a strange amount of relief that she wasn’t ready to rip his head off- or worse- start crying or anything.
“Sorry about-”
Just as he had started to speak, Jade darted past him and into the room. Eduard could only blink in confusion as he heard her voice echo from deeper in the room.
“Hey Mr. Gray and Mr. Winkler, I have a totally badas- Ahem, I have a totally sick idea about how Mr. Winkler can make it up to me for ruining the painting I worked super hard on.”
Oh boy.
Eduard sighed and followed her into the room, shooting a glare at Warren so that the other man knew he had to follow.
“Hey listen uh, Jade, I’m sor-”
“-SO I thought that since the assignment is to paint from real life, that you two could totally pose for me. Wouldn’t that be cool!?”
NO! NO! NO! Absolutely not! Eduard was totally and absolutely against the idea of posing for the girl. After all, he had super important things to do! Things that involved him leaving the school, taking his shoes off, petting his cats, and watching his shows! He had no time at all to be posing for a girl and whatever whims she had in painting the two of them.

The actions made by Eduard hardly bothered Warren. The brushed off of his hand hardly caused any mind to the giant as he explained the situation. Somebody needed to explain the problem and if Eduard was too nervous, it fell upon Warren. Once the conversation began progressing, the large man, somehow, managed to remain quiet. He expected the janitor had everything from there... but his curiosity was piqued when Jade ran past them and into the art room. Mutual confusion showed on Warren's face as he peeked through the doorway, his gaze shifting to Eduard for a moment.

At the girl's words, Warren followed Eduard into the room, ducking his head beneath the doorway. Even without the glare, the brunette had planned to follow out of curiosity... The explanation cut off Eduard and prompted a broad smile on Warren's face. The idea was perfect and worked for Jade's theme. The large man slapped a hand on Eduard's back this time.

"Excellent idea, Jade! I bet the art teacher will love it! What do you say Mr. Winkler?" The metalworking teacher prompted rather loudly. "You did ruin her painting after all... It's the least you could do. Besides, it sounds like fun!"
[break][break]
The loud-voiced teacher removed his hand after that, finding a spot to stand. Afterwards, he gazed at Jade, expecting some type of instruction from the student. She was the director of the painting! The individual's vision arrived from the notion of getting them to pose, so the large man assumed she had an idea.

EDUARD A. WINKLER Panacea academy, british columbia, canadA Eduard felt like he wanted to fade away. People weren’t supposed to want to paint the janitor! Why would they want to paint the janitor!? What was this kid’s problem!? Actually, what was Warren’s problem, agreeing with it so quickly? Didn’t he have some homework to grade!? Or some metal work to make sure had no jagged edges or something? There was no way he had time for this silliness.
…But… of course he did somehow.
It didn’t take him long to be excitedly agreeing with Jade’s idea like some kind of excited puppy. Warren too often reminded him of a huge mutt left home alone, that got way too excited at the prospect of their family returning. But this was not one of those times. Why was this making him so happy?
“Sure. Fine.”
WHAT!? Eduard A. Winkler!! He could practically hear his nagging mother’s voice in his head. Why couldn’t he just tell people “no” and “go away”!? Why did his mouth betray him so?
“Oh good. Jeremiah is soooo gonna hate me for this.”
Who was Jeremiah!? What was this girl talking about!?
“So… what are we doing, then?” Eduard said, shooting a glance towards Warren and then back towards Jade who seemed to be waiting for her to make a pose for them.
