buttercup_eaterIt's a nice day today in a picture-perfect, sunny and warm way, and it's making Chara cranky because that means everybody's probably going to be out and about around the castle enjoying the day instead of holed up in their rooms or the library and ew, people.
Initially Chara spent the morning quietly patrolling their favored passageways but that quickly got boring, and since they had a bit of an urge to paint they decided to sneak off to the art room. It's a trip they've made a few times by now and while it's tense- they're not the only person in the castle who likes to draw, after all- it's still grown more routine. They made their way there easily enough, gathered up some paints and brushes together in a box, and scuttled back out.
It was only a short distance away from the art room that they noticed an unfamiliar door and curiosity reared its head. Peeking inside revealed a mostly empty room, outside of some stray chairs and a table, with a high ceiling and a window that seemed about two stories tall, though it only showed unidentifiable sky outside.
Most importantly, it had two very large, bare white walls. They looked like an invitation to Chara and, well- they did need to test their new materials...

A few short doodles later and determination has kicked in, leaving Chara doggedly attempting to cover at least one of the walls. Being Chara, of course, most of the pictures are of children and monsters melting or otherwise being killed in various gruesome- if slightly crudely drawn- ways, interspersed with tangles of flowers and hearts.
Occasionally they have to nip out of the room and up to the art room to grab more paint, leaving their mural temporarily unguarded. You might also sometimes catch them precariously balanced on things like a chair on a chair on a table, since a lot of the wall is too high for them to reach otherwise.
