...Well, there's no, uh, electricity in Daath... [which is DEFINITELY what Piety is building, no question there.] ...and even if I did win, it's not like I could take it back with me without explaining...
[he looks genuinely at odds with himself]
...Maybe I can just tell some artists what I saw in a dream, and get them to draw some stuff...?
I don't think white lies are so bad when it's harmless stuff like that. [A shrug.] And even that's not really a lie. You got here via dream, didn't you? It makes enough sense.
I mean, I don't want them to copy a series or anything! I'd like to see what artists in Auldrant would come up with, if I talked about... manga and stuff!
[His eyes are pretty bright, talking about this.]
Like, what kind of plots would they come up with? Ah, I really wish I could draw better...!
Practice! We've got paper and stuff around here somewhere...you could always ask Madoka for pointers, too. [But he nods along.] What're your favorite plots so far?
Madoka draws? Oh, right, her statue said she's kind of good at art! [MADOKA!!!!]
My favorite's gotta be One Piece and Dragon Ball Z! They're totally different, but I really like them both. Oh, the Ninja Adventures of Nart and Sack are great, too!
Yeah, she does. Her art's pretty cute. [Please commission Madoka.]
So like...action types. [There's a slow nod.] I've always heard that the best stories are based on stuff you know. If you make up something with just a litttlle bit of the truth in it, I bet you could come up with something good.
[Give him a moment. He's going to hold out his hand and as Luke looks he'll find a crystallized patch of ice appears, forming into a singular snowflake. The snowflake lifts in the air before it turns itself into a small bird, flying around a bit before disappearing.]
[Luke...it's fine, Merriment laughs in genuine amusement.]
Yeah! Yeah, it totally was. [He's very pleased with this reaction.] It's just something I can do...from before, you know? Before the ascension. Snow's sort of my thing.

[FANFICTION...]
What about you? Can you do any creative stuff?
no subject
But. Merriment laughs a little.] I can do some things, yeah. I'm sort of known for creating unique patterns and everything. And I can draw a little.
no subject
Unique patterns? You mean, like... shapes and stuff?
[THAT IS KIND OF A WEIRD GOD POWER]
no subject
Something like that.

stares at it
fluttering around the room
when it disappears, his jaw is still dropped, like an enthralled child. All the joking is gone from his expression.]
How'd you do that?! Was that snow!?
[He's totally into it.]
