Thanks to this festival? Everyone gets to be a work of art. And not in the weird, oh no, why do I suddenly have tentacles way, but in a way we can all enjoy, relax...

[...]

...if that's even possible, and [a hand sweep over all of it - the floats, the costumes, the decorating everywhere] all that out there? Art.

I gotta try pretty hard to fail [unintentional wordplay], and even then ...it's like every fuckup is a better fuck up. Like a friend said, " planned fuckups but with improvements". Not that I'm going to blow this, I can draw almost as good as I fight. C'mon, I'll get my paint, I live practically around the corner.

[headtilt.]

You wanna walk it, or are you a climber?

"Every fuckup is a better fuck up." Not the kind of aphorism I'd have predicted, but there's a certain kind of wisdom in it.

[It's not dissimilar to things she's told herself in more trying times, albeit not with such colorful language.]

I daresay I'm an excellent climber.

[She'd proved that to herself hauling arse out of the Archive, after all.]

[huge grin. vi will go a little easy on the parkour - she doesn't know yet the limits of that excellence, but it's a fun spin on a short walk, and a great way to avoid crowds.

she gives a thumbs up before she's up and over the side of a building and navigating a series of uneven rooftops with ease.

(i'm an excellent shot)

maria won't see the sad smile that lingers just a moment longer before vi hits ground in front of the rookery.]
