Grace leaned over to pat Anna on the head reassuringly. "Don't freak out Anna. I'm sure it's nothing! Or at least, if it's something, I'm sure it's interesting and not terribly life-threatening. Would it be that bad not to have school anymore?"

Muddy dog-- She righted herself before she toppled over on top of Vespy, which had come frighteningly close to happening. This'd be the last time she ever leaned over to comfort anyone... Luckily, from her position on the back of the bench, her friends mostly sort of had their back to her, so they probably hadn't noticed. Worse, Grace noticed she'd started to pick up Anna's goofy expressions. At least she wasn't using them out loud yet. If (or when) that happened, she wouldn't be able to poke fun at Anna anymore for her outlandish curse phrases.

Having interrupted her rhythmic patting of Vespy's head, she switched to twisting her ponytail into a bun. "I wasn't really paying attention while I walked out here. Important League business on my phone," she grinned. "Did you see something too, Vespy?" Something dawned on her, and she tugged back on the bun so she could more easily look Vespy in the face. "Is that why you called us out here so urgently? S'not like we weren't eventually all gonna end up out here anyway..."

Our OOC is so sad since we always just talk outside of the forum XD

Grace nodded, smiling, at Anna when she arrived. Good grief, was this girl ever going to stop growing? Before Grace could answer Vespy's question about weirdness at school, Anna butted in with an overly enthusiastic outburst. Grace grinned at her. "I think you said the word 'weird' about fifty times. That's pretty impressive! I'm afraid I can't beat that, Vespy, so you'll just have to make do with Anna's answer."

She started to pat Vespy on the head in rhythm to the tune playing in her head. She looked around, having nothing to contribute to the conversation just yet. She didn't find it to be a very nice view -- mostly a bunch of high schoolers loitering around after classes. She had to admit they had every reason to loiter: it was a nice day out, with a few hours left before the sun would start to set. A few white clouds winked down at the town from the chilly blue October sky. The cedars the town was named for would stay green all winter long, but the oaks that covered the high school's campus were starting to turn all sorts of lively colors. The beat in her head made her feel like she could take on anything face-on. Including (and especially) any bizarre happenings her friends were about to bring up.

@Erklings25 Alright! Not sure when I'll get around to it, though; I just got back from vacation and I'm running late on what I said I'd do for other people XD

Grace was watching a League of Legends video on her phone when the bell rang, signaling the end of her school day. She walked out into the courtyard, eyes still glued to her phone, mumbling apologies as she bumped into some girls at the doors. The guy speaking through her headphones explained the intricacies of Illaoi, a fighter hero Grace was trying to learn. She automatically directed her footsteps toward the bench where she and her friends usually met up.

"Hey guys", she grunted as she neared the area. Her video ended, and she looked up. "Oh. Hi, Vespy!" She smiled at her friend, who was looking at her with wide green eyes, her lips tinted bright red by the lollipop in her mouth. She glanced around, but she and Vespy seemed to be alone for now.

She plopped her bag down and sat up on the back of the bench, with her feet resting on the seat.
"What's up?"

@Doc Doctor
Headz up, I'm most likely not going to be around for the next week. Holidays and travel and such. I'll either get your thing done at an airport, or not until at least a week from now X)

Sure, I can color it, but probably not until a week from now... Holidays and travel and such.

It's perfectly fine to criticize the drawing! As long as you're not being mean about it, which you weren't.
Yeah I didn't mean for the smile to look so wicked, it was supposed to be playful and it just got a little messed up when I inked it XD
Does he look too old? I don't see it... Maybe the line-shading looks too much like wrinkles. Or maybe it's just the weird smile again.
For the anime thing, well, you should have let me know you wanted that. I actually would enjoy giving it another try, but note that I don't normally draw anime style, so I have no idea how it'll turn out. Also, it might take a while. The holiday thing again. X)

And here comes the portrait!

I wasn't exactly sure how an inked portrait would turn out -- not many lines, lots of shading to be done. Turns out my pen didn't like doing that much shading. It was being a bit derpy XD
Also I made him look Asian, I'm not sure if that was intended but that's how I saw him despite the blue eyes 0_o

Preview

Aaaaand apparently I'm gonna keep doing this cause I like having a visualization of the colors 0_o
(lemme know if you want a big color version, but the colors are super sloppy, so I don't see the point XD)

And here's another preview of a half-assed coloring of it, cause apparently I can't leave well enough alone.

The appearance portion of the CS is cut off mid-sentence... What is it supposed to say? XD
Is that picture also Shigekazu?
