[ There's the sound of wind rushing by, like someone's running at mach speeds. Anyone who looks outside just might see a light flying above the city. Is it a ghost? A UFO? No, it's just Naruto, whose head is glowing brighter than it has any right to thanks to some blessed hair dye he mixed up. ]

First that boulder nearly squashes me, now this? I never wanna see hair dye ever again!

[ He's grumbling about pink hair and looking like glowing lemonade as he fiddles with his phone. ]

HEY! How long is the blessing from those rabbits supposed to last? I don't wanna glow forever, y'know?!

I was looking at some photos from the Arts Festival back in April. There were so many stalls and people and lots of things to watch and do. It was really fun~ There should definitely be another one next year.

[Mary was sat outside a large looking gallery in Amberfell, nibbling on a cookie and kicking her feet as she chatted to the camera. It made the picture a little unsteady, but hopefully not enough to affect anyone watching too much.]

But since then I've been thinking a lot.

My father's a painter so I'd want to ask him all my questions, but as I can't then you'll all have to do-...

[She trailed off a moment, expression distant as she went back to her cookie a moment.]

...

So how do people decide what sort of art to make?

When they draw or paint or sculpt things, what sorts of meanings do they put behind it? How do you know what colours to use, or what subject to pick, or what to name a piece when it's done?

...And why do people buy and sell art in the first place? If they do that, then how do they work out what each piece is really worth or what value it has? How do you choose what pieces to keep, or to display or to sell? ...Or get rid of.

What makes a piece of art 'good' or 'bad' anyway?

[Another thoughtful pause, expression turning to more of a sulk as she ran out of steam. Getting answers this way wouldn't be as simple as she hoped, would it?]

It depends on the person doesn't it?
