"Bad art is more tragically beautiful than good art because it documents human failure."

I don't know why that one always suck with me but it did.

Interesting. Are you a perfectionist-? I think, to be reminded that no one is perfect can be a comfort sometimes. [laughs]

Not really a perfectionist, no. I guess if it could be anything, it's probably because I have seen a whole lifetime of ugliness. I like people that can find the beautiful in anything.

[hums and smiles] Yes, suppose that is nice isn't it?

Fabian. [extends a hand] I only seem to find beauty in the disastrous, personally.

[Nikki takes his hand and smiles back.] Nicole Callahan. It's nice to meet you, Fabian. So the disastrous, huh? Why do you think that is?

Pleasure.

Oh, well. Suppose because it captures a piece of my soul [another laugh]. I am, if nothing, a disaster myself. But I like to think I have a good excuse, you know? Being an ~artist~.

[He's not above making fun of himself]

Oh, you've heard of me? [She teases.]

[The last part makes her chuckle. Not taking ones self too seriously is like a friendship requirement so she instantly likes him better for it.] What kind of art do you do? Please say interpretive dance.

Oh, well yes of course who hasn't? [ No he hasn't but he tends to go with the flow and the flow is telling him that sarcasm is something of a necessity right now. He hopes she appreciates it. ]

I rap, obviously.

Of course, people usually just call me Bliss. [She most definitely does. It's her first language.]

Oh. [She laughs.] Do you have a stage name like Fabe B Jabs?

[ Oh good, he read her right then. ]

My goodness, you must be psychic! But no, in all seriousness I'm a painter and a poet. I thought the all black and slightly difficult to determine gender would have given it away. [ he cracked a another soft laugh ]

Do tell, why Bliss?

You could have been a songwriter. Isn't that the official dress code for My Chemical Romance?

You can't guess?

Poet, songwriter. Same thing really. In accordance to Leonard Cohen anyway.

I could guess, but you know what they say about assumptions.

Who is Leonard Cohen?

Well, you wouldn't be an ass this time.

Who- [he looks baffled for a moment] That simply wont do. How could anyone survive without knowing him?

You have a way about you, Miss Bliss. I believe it just might have something to do with that.

I've lived a very sheltered life. At least, where pop culture is concerned. So he's like a songwriter?

A way about me, huh? That's acceptable. I like that.

Well, for me it's a definite tie between:

"Why you stuck-up, half-witted, scruffy-looking nerf-herder!" Just because it was a line that reminded me of my old crush and the object of his crush, when I saw the film with my first real boyfriend.

And then of course:

“I find your lack of faith disturbing.” For... Obvious reasons, really... [Maria grins crookedly at the young(-looking) man.] And what are yours...?

The last one interests me. Why that?

[ he ponders ] 1,000 years from now there will be no guys and no girls, just wankers. Sounds great to me.

Indeed. A way.

Yes, he has a deep haunting voice. Speaks over music more than sings but its wonderful. Beautiful words.

I aught to introduce you to his art.

Oh, aye? Well, I'm afraid I don't know that one, but-- well. My knowledge of the cinema pretty much stops at-- well, 1980, really, given that's when I stopped going to the cinema...

But as for my reasoning behind the quote... I dunno, honestly... It seems obviously a favourite of mine, but-- I cannot place just why it's such a favourite, exactly... Save of course, that there's something about my b-brother inside that quote... [And now she winces, to hold back her tears.]

Is he online? Or did you have something else in mind?

[A brief pause]

It's not impossible that I might have something else in mind.

Is it a surprise or can you tell me?

[ hums and pulls out a piece of paper from his back pocket and a pen from his jacket. He scribbles down something (that something being a name, number, and address) then handed it to her. ]

A surprise. An 'at 6 tonight?' Kind of surprise, I think.

( that escalated quickly. Lmao )

[Nikki takes the paper and looks at it then back to him weighing the threat level. Without her abilities, it made it hard because everyone seemed suspicious but if he was a threat she would prefer to face it head on then wait for it to come to her.]

You've piqued my curiosity. Alright. I'll see you tonight. Should I bring anything?

((He's really good at this! lol))
