[When Mitsuhide turns the feed on, he is sat on his desk. The SFC shows the inkwells and art tools resting on it, as well as the piece of parchment he is working on. When satisfied that the feed shows himself properly, Mitsuhide nods, and picks up his brush again.]

On the 26th, it is Tama's birthday... well. Gracia's birthday. That is the name the rest of you use for her, isn't it? I suppose Tama is something reserved only for my use, but I have now used it often enough that I forget, sometimes.

[He lowers a gaze and starts to work again.]

I say this so that her friends know, and so she can tell me how she might wish to celebrate. So, my girl? What is your wish?

[Mitsuhide grows silent then, but leaves the feed turned on for a few minutes until he puts his brush to the side again, examines his work and smiles softly. After waiting another few moments his gaze meets the SFC's camera again.]

You know, Vatheon, many of you are incredibly talented artists. I cannot say I often indulge in the more visual arts, but the amount of lovely paintings I have seen lately has made me want to.

[He holds the piece of parchment up for all to see. It's an ink-wash painting depicting a young lady sat on a box in the middle of a forest, a bunch of flowers in her hands; anyone who knows Gracia would recognise it as her.]

What do you think of my latest effort?

You write poetry, too?

_{[she seems to be a little surprised at first, but regains her composure pretty quickly.]}

Ah, s-sure. Why not.

_{[she gives him a look.]}

You said that there was a lot of talented artist here... who are they?

_{[she definitely has to meet them all.]}

[wavesoakedlegs]

Yes. I have differing degrees of interest in many of the arts. Poetry is the one I possess the most skill in, but it and painting are by no means the only ones I have experience with.

[He smiles softly, looking thoughtful for a moment.]

I do not know all by name. But you will run into plenty simply by observing the network, or posting on it.

[Mitsuhide pauses, and looks a bit awkward for a moment. This is for a very good reason. He recently interacted with someone very special after a long time of avoiding them, down to a kind of fear.]

[Not that She would understand that fear.]

You may be surprised to hear it, but one of the best... she is called Amaterasu. A Goddess in the form of a wolf.

[dreamartist]

That's kind of amazing... I haven't met too many people who would be interested in any kind of art.

<sub>[Yes, not many people she knows appreciate art.

The next one makes her look surprised.]</sub>

A goddess? In a form of a wolf? Really?! ...Ah, but I guess I shouldn't really be surprised.

_{[because this place...]}

[video]

[wavesoakedlegs]

Really?

[He looks surprised; his homeland in general has a great appreciation for the arts, and within Vat, as he has said, many also appreciate them.]

You will find yourself surrounded by the arts here, my friend. I can at least promise you this about Vatheon.

[Mitsuhide smiles... and then looks awkward again.]

Yes. Where I come from she is known fully as Amaterasu-ōmikami, great Goddess of the Sun and one of the greatest amongst all the Gods.

[dreamartist]

Well, I'm glad to hear that.

_{[more artist is a good thing.]}

Really? Wow, I guess in this place you can meet all kinds of people... er...

_{[well, that goddess is a wolf...]}
