"Hey, this is Envy. I'm busy or not around, so say whatever you want here and I might get back to you about it."

[It's a good thing for Lust that she's got the video on because it means she gets to see Envy's indescribable face journey when he hears that.]

...dozens.

Dozens.

They're white and red.

On a black background.

[Envy just lets that sink in, and then slowly raises one hand to the side of his head.]

Lust, how the fuck is that the most disturbing thing I've ever heard?

Tell me.

Video

[a_sin_for_him]

I don't know, but it's also one of the most disturbing things I've ever seen.

And you know the things I've seen!

Video

[exeggutorhead]

I know!

[Time for the volume to start going up!]

We've seen fossil disease!

Fossil disease!

[...]

You have to show it to me. [He has to know.]

Video

[a_sin_for_him]

Are you sure?

I think it may be better to burn it before anyone else lays eyes on it...

[For a second he hesitates.]

[Then sighs.]

Yes.

I gotta know.

Alright.

[Lust disappears from frame a moment and returns with the painting.]

[It's even worse than imagined. There's something primitively upsetting about it, the stark colors and the eerie depiction of dozens of bone white and blood red fingers stretching upwards, some at bizarre angles or bent sharply back.]

I told you.

[Oh wow he hates that.]

Why exactly do you let that thing out of the PC box?

Video

[a_sin_for_him]

You know I don't keep any of mine in the box.

[The painting is quickly removed from frame.]

He was so proud, Envy. So very proud of his work. But I think he needs to go back to dancing.

Or possibly whatever hellmouth he first crawled out of, I still don't know where he came from.

[ANOTHER BIG SIGH]

Sure, sure, doom us all with your endless sentimentality.

[Although as she well knows, he's never permanently boxed anything either.]

Maybe he does but is he going to? He probably knows where the paint is now and it's not like locked doors stop him.

I could not buy any more canvases. It's not as though I paint.

...of course that may just encourage him to use unconventional canvases. Oh dear god, what if he starts painting the walls?

[ANOTHER FACE JOURNEY AS ENVY CONSIDERS THIS POSSIBILITY. It ends in a grimace.]

God, I wouldn't put it past him. Guy knows exactly what he wants to do and he's going to do it.

Get canvasses and don't teach him any more skills.

[PLEASE]

Video

[a_sin_for_him]

At least I didn't allow him to learn any instruments.

That was another suggestion.

Could you imagine?

Video

[exeggutorhead]

I don't want to.

What would he even choose?

God, imagine him getting hold of...I don't know. A theremin.

Video

[a_sin_for_him]

Don't joke, I'd never have a moment of peace.

At least paintings can be hidden in a closet.
