a [vi can be found in a few locations for facepainting with both harmless paint and paint that's more like than not to merge a sleeper with its mask. if she knows you well, she might be doing that very painting from the rookery kitchen, or perhaps from ursula's if you're a casual acquaintance...]
b [...two days during the week (a perfectly respectable every other day tues & thurs situation) vi can reliably be found at ursula's ink. she's in and out at other times when the mood suits, or if she has an appointment: she's extra early because oh no what if she's late??
this month, one will find her in her corner station next to a large window, fiddling with her inks, setting and re-setting down her tools to make room for paints, of which there is an assortment! there's glittery paint, glowy paint, and she's unusually overwhelmed by the choices here. her (still growing) portfolio is not at it's usual place on the other end of that table - it's in various stages of re-arranging depending on the day. (it's full of mostly blackwork, a growing number of color pieces here and there, some similar to what's on her skin, as well as geometric shapes, and an assortment of creatures both of trench and not. fancy a nightmare steed? she's got several of those in various stages of completion, and a few pieces of portraiture that are not compiled in the book scattered about. or not. she can't seem to decide if they should be in the book or out of the book, and yes, they're all d. except for the one that's jinx.)
it's possible she's meditating - or trying to, and if that's the case it's a crapshoot here: she might have just recharged her chill and forced that vileblood anxiety down and away for a time, or she could have been so startled that she's even more anxious and maybe has to start all over.
vi will busy herself until she sees a face, familiar or strange. don't worry, if you're afraid of needles, she's got that covered, too: she's a vileblood, and she doesn't charge extra if you need a bit of numbing up. she's got a small sign that says as much, but it also comes with a warning. best not to lie about broken skin, etc. - because you could die. and she will not be held responsible for that. there is a form to sign. it is very professional.
no, wait, there needs to be another form after the paint has had ....incidents.]
c [she's also made a couple stops for private painting - perhaps someone is too sleepy (manabu) or doesn't wish to make the trek anywhere further than their own sofa or kitchen table - vi has got you. or, at least she thinks she has you. maybe she doesn't. so many choices. so many colors. she should really just pause to check on her sister - hold on. wait, which brush did she pick up? sorry about that, she'll switch to the other one.
not all of the paint is cursed - there seems to be a mix up between batches.]
