"Vodka would like to thank you all for coming to Vodka's gallery."
"Vodka hopes you like her work!"

The group had entered the art gallery. The "Meat room" was a big hit with everyone, so the group just had to see it. The artist herself showed off the largest piece, a large hunk of meat known as "The Meat Bathroom."

"If you have any questions about Vodka's work, do not hesitate to ask Vodka."
"She will tell you all about her insperations."
Jacket claps excitedly seeing the meat art.

"Woah! Gruesome! I like it!"
Kobwugni places her hands together. "Wow that's pr...etty spiffy... meat.... art?"
Beeper is lost in the works.

"It has nice... shading? Marbling?"

Three bees buzz around Sassafrass's head. Buzz. :)
Veeatrice was just coming in to get out of the rain after having 'saved' a large quantity of bees from drowning in the developing floods inside.

She was a fan of meat, but was more hoping for flowers and some fake nature-like scenes. The only green being grown here were illegal drugs.

She doesn't appear impressed and tells her group, "What'd I tell you all? This will be a nice, smooth stop. We get out of the rain and we get to peruse some fine art as well on our little jobs!"
"Y...Yeah... it was a pretty... swell idea."
"Gotta sssave the beesss, you know?" Sassafrass says, chuckling to herself.
"I'm glad we got to stop here- I heard this place was the art capital of the universe! Or, well, some guy outside told me that. But hey, I can believe it, seeing work like this!"
"Peep!"
"Our companions are the bees knees. You fuckers are pretty funny. Look at this Peepy gal!"

She looks over to Kowugni with an intimidating stare as she marches over, "And you!"
"Wu....uwugh?"
Veeatrice fakes a punch at Kowugni, "Ah!"
"Wegh."

"Hahaha! You are a total Wimp!" Veeatrix blows a Raspberry at Kowugni and then focuses back on their... Jobs?

She looks over at Vodka and asks the Pink Clad Adult, "Hey, what's the meaning to these meat art pieces? They have some weird universal significance or something?"
"And how many bodies did it take to make it?" Jacket adds on, waving a hand excitedly.
"And what flavor isss it?" Sassafrass finished, tilting her head to the side ever so slightly.
"They are meant to represent the struggles of all living creatures. The meat bathroom did not choose to be a meat bathroom!"
"But the meat bathroom does not get to choose its life. Still the meat bathroom overcomes being born a horrible abomination."
"Vodka did not use any bodies for it! It is...organic!"
"Ok Vodka used a few bodies but Vodka was in a dark place at the time."
"The meat bathroom is a special case."
"All of Vodka's other work only uses organic lab grown meat."
Vodka sighs at that comment. "No one likes Vodka's other works as much as the meat bathroom....."
"And Vodka agrees. Vodka's other work is missing something. The meat bathroom is the best one."
"Poppycock! I'm sure your other works are just as inspired as this! Can we see some of them?"

"W...well... golly.... gosh.... I hope the answer isn't... real meat...."
"The lab meat looks as good as real meat....."
"But Vodka feels like it's missing the soul of the meat bathroom."
"Who cares about "soul" in art?"
"Look at this piece." Vodka shows the crew the meat shower. An endless waterfall of blood. "It is......boring."
"Soulless, but pretty."
The three bees land on Sassafrass's leaves. :)
Beeper is doing everything she can not to take a bath in that.

"...cooolll..."
"I don't know it seems pretty....... cool?" Kobwugni politely taps her fingers together.
Veeatrice doesn't seem impressed still as she hears about meat bathrooms and meat artistry. She's just thinking of some butcher getting too far up their rear to think about logistics or purposes.

Veeatrice doesn't get Art. At least, not meat art of this extent. She tells her gang, "That sure is a blood fountain."
Jacket claps politely, making an awed noise at the meat shower.

"Golly! Gosh! Heck! I do think it's really neat! Where does all the blood even come from? Is it like, a circular loop? Will it ever bleed out?"
Sassafrass just stays still, but being a snakevine they pretty much tend to do that. "Yup, jussst keepsss sssycling."
"The blood will cycle forever, but what is the point?"
"Vodka guesses she could say it represents how life will go on forever, but cycling, but Vodka thinks that is dumb!"
"Vodka wants........."
"Something nice, and safe, right Vodka?"
Jacket is staring at the meat shower, deep in thought.
"Mhem. Anyway, Vodka hopes to see mother here."
"Vodka's mother was great meat artist. Maybe Vodka could ask her for help."
"Uh, well, hey everyone agrees Vodka's art is fine as is, right?"
"Collaboration d-does... sound like a pretty... capital.... idea..."
"It reminds me of my time in Space Jersey!"
"I just think it looks pretty cool... maybe... maybe it doesn't need to mean anything?"
"I think it represents how painful it can be to live! Eternally bleeding out, only to scoop that blood back up and bleed it out again, inching closer to death yet continuing to live despite that. Like that guy in Space Jersey." Jacket nods.
"It really... does have a very... 'Space Jersey'... sort... sort of vibe..."
Sassafrass lightly motions to Veeatrice, not commenting herself.
Veeatrice thinks on this. She is here to review the art pieces and is contemplating the art, "It's a fountain of blood that is alive for some reason. I don't understand why this couldn't be a painting and I imagine no one is going to jump in and go for a swim in it. Hell, no one can even steal it for resell value. It'd just fucking die."
"I give it a 4/10. Made me a little hungry."
"4/10! Try again!"
"Ssseemsss that'sss the verdict." She comments, lifting her sleeved arm up
Veeatrice is surprised by Beeper's verdict, "Really? 4/10 from you Beeper? That is harsh."
"You're the expert on cool Veea! Your judgment is best!"
"No one likes an asskiss, Beeper."

"Peep... Okay. 4.2."
"Oh... were we supposed to give a score... uh... I give it a... 6? Maybe... a 6 and a half?"
"See! It has no soul, Barley!"
"I think it's a nice piece of art."
"No offense, but you do not know what art is."
".............................................."
"Philistines..."
"Maybe Vodka needs to see other artists."
"But Vodka doesn't want to go alone."
"I'll come with you."
"Vodka kind of wants to go with people who know art."
DOES SHE HAVE TO KEEP RUBBING THIS IN?
"Would you all like to come with Vodka to see another artist?"
"Sure. Your personal chaperone won't mind, will he?"

She buzzes happily, "We'd be happy to stay out of the storm and keep looking at some art around. Maybe something will catch our eyes and we'll all learn a thing or two about the values of art."
"Ain't that right, team?"
"We were going to look around anyway! Works out for me, old bean!"
"Yay, art with real experts!"
"Uweh... sure..."
Sassafrass lightly raises her sleeved arm into the air. "Sssoundsss good to me bosss."
Veeatrice notices as she had turned towards the group to see a couple bees flying around and is confused. She checks her person a little bit for something before just telling Sass.

"Looks like you made a couple of friends during our walk. Didn't know you were a hit with bees, Sass."
"Mussst be I'm about to flower. Alwaysss brings all the beesss to the yard."
The bees start flying around randomly in the air.
"Is...Is that something we should be present for..."
"It sounds... personal."
"Birds and bees, what fun!"
Jacket whispers, scandalized.

"I think they're pollinating."
Veeatrice then refocuses on Vodka and clears her throat, "We are ready to march when you are."
Veeatrice comments to Jacket, "They can't be. His kind don't actually flower... Do they??"
"I'm sure Barley doesn't mind at all!"
"Barley you stay here. Vodka is going to go with friends now. ;)"
("Wow am I friends with an artist... cool.")
Veeatrice smiles like a serial killer being invited into a house, "She'll bee back soon."

The group moves on with a new member to their party, Vodka. They gather into the art gallery of Azathoth, though currently all his pieces are covered in sheets, and he has begun to remove a pile of trash from his room.

That is not the only thing in the room though. Ignoring the two uncovered statues, an uncomfortable conversation is happening in the room.

And Azathoth isn't even apart of it.....
"For the last time. I am not who you think I am. ;)"
"Dad's dead. You don't have to keep pretending like you're a different person. 'w'"
"My life is nothing but a constant haunting of ghosts."
"Am I just a ghost to you? 'w'"
"Excuse my bluntness here, but yes. Years of being called "Princess" when I have made it clear this is not the person I am has continued to erode on my soul. Who I am is not being respected here. I do not know you. The person who did, is dead."
"I have the same issue with people pretending to know me as well!"
"My good friend, Azathoth, understands me. ;)"
"WE HAVE ONLY SEEN EACH OTHER IN PASSING."
"Oh hoo hoo sorry I thought...."
Vodka says quiet. She wishes to interrupt but is unsure. ("That is Vodka's mum there.")
Jacket can't help but start clapping upon seeing the uncovered statues.

"Wow!"
Kobwugni has been lightly clapping for the past three minutes, the conversation ahead too tense to comment upon.
"Performance art! Amazing!"
("Wugh... is this argument just art... wow...")

Sassafrass meanwhile is slowly brushing her claws through her leaves, before settling down a bit. Odd discussion to be having in an art gallery.
Veeatrice doesn't clap, but is still wowed by the statue imposingly standing before her.

She tells the group, "Now that is a art statue I can fucking understand. Solid, ominous, alters the atmosphere of the room, it doesn't stink or fucking rot."

"And it is potentially worth more then fertilizer to make the work into it worth it and not all that subjective shit."
("Vodka heard that Vodka's mum started to act like a new person.")
("But Vodka knows people cannot change.......Mum said so.")
("They will always return to being the person they are, one day.")
When no one is looking at the statue, it changes due to Veeatrice's comment.
("Are you sure that this is actually the same person and not some different person wearing your mother's skin like an elaborate costume?")
("That... uh... doesn't sound right to me...... it sounds some...") Kobwugni whispers even more quietly. ("Pop-Poppycock.")
("Wow Kobwugni.")

"Wugh........"
"Noisy bunch of people in a public place. Maybe we should go say hello? They look like they are bothering Az."

"I like Az, he helped me steal a car."
"Oh! So you like my art-" Azathoth is interrupted by the continuation of the argument.
"I thought the whole reason you were pretending to not know anyone was because you wanted to get away from dad."
"But now you're just uh, being a little selfish here! After all the shit I've gone through you're just goin' to keep playing pretend forever? 'w'"
Shelia sighed. She walked past Rye like the ghost he was to her and approaches the great black and gold statues. "These are your mothers, are they not? ;)"
"YOU DON'T KNOW MY LI-"
"Oh, actually those ARE my mothers, how did you guess?"
"Those statues are your mothers!? Woah!"
"Oh." This added new context to what Veeatrice said, but she's not taking back her comments.
"I am the pope. I am well educated on anomalous artifacts as you may guess. ;)"
"Birds! Peep!"
"Your mothers are very... neat."
"Are your mothers single?"
"My mothers are not single, they are singular."
"She looks to be a large two headed statue and sitting in a museum."
"Mum! Come on, listen to me!"
"I just wanted.....someone there for me in my life that wasn't Zookeeper." Rye goes to grab Shelia.
Rye rolls a 20 sided die with a modifier of -50. A -40 is rolled.
He trips on the newly cleaned surface of the floors. Shelia ducks to the side. Sadly, she was the only thing between Rye and the two statues.
"hhhhhhh..."
"Haaaaaa....."

............................................

...................................

............................

.................

Shelia has never felt more free than now as she stares at the statues before her.
"...................................................."
Jacket is clapping for some reason. She can't remember why but she keeps clapping.
Beeper joins in.
"Wow that was.... something... what was it...." Kobwugni feels like she's forgetting something.

"How lovely these two statues! It gives a sense of loss....but...."
"Almost a type of loss I have always wanted to feel. Hoohoo hoo! ;)"
"Wow, you seem... eh... really pleased.... old bean."
"Ssso thessse are the artissstsss?" Sassafrass asks, not sure why they were whispering before.
"Reminds me of Space Jersey."
"You said these were your mothers, correct?"
"Uh...yes I did...."
"Then, something has vanished."
"What have they ripped out of this universe? ;)"
"Does it really matter?"
"I mean there is a lot of trash here you could get lost- oh."

Beeper thinks that this situation is a lot more serious than she assumed.

"These mothers are pretty nice..." Kobwugni taps her fingers together.
("Vodka has only just entered this room, but why does Vodka feel like she has been here before.....What is that called again? Deja vu?")
Veeatrice looks to Vodka, "Well there you are. You learning anything from this art?"

She motions towards the two statues and Az.... and she guesses the trash? Is that art too?
"Ah, Vodka is having a hard time focusing on the art...."
"That is Vodka's mum over there. Vodka wishes to talk to her, but Vodka is not sure the best way to do so...."
Veeatrice thinks this is stupid and tells Vodka, "You go and talk to her. Don't be stupid."
"Golly gosh! This is a really awkward situation. I have no valuable advice whatsoever. Maybe just start talking about her like she's not even there? Just vent! Why not!"
"...uh....I'm not really sure how to approach moms... I uh... wugh..."
"Maybe... Karla would know... but... Karla is just a bird......"
"Give her a gift!"
"I never had a mom. She's just a person. She's not going to eat you is she?"
Sassafrass shrugs. ("If ssshe thinksss ssshe'sss sssomeone else, or pretending, trying to forssse it probably won't work. But I mean if my mom thought ssshe wasss sssomeone elssse. Would be sssad.")
("You can only have a talk with her if you talk on her termsss.")
"Hmmmm. You are right. Vodka should just talk to her. Vodka will get nowhere if she just ignores this."
"Jolly good! Capital! You've got this! I believe in you!"
"You can do it!"

"Vodka thinks the large snake being pollinated is right. Vodka will try her best to maybe start by acting like she is a new person, then maybe Vodka can work back to calling her mum."
("This doesn't really seem like a good idea.......")
Vodka approaches Sheila. "Hello, uh..."
("But then again... wugh...")
"Maybe you know Vodka-"
Shelia looks to the statues.

"LOOK WHAT WE HAVE HERE HONEY. A LIMBO GOD WITH BARELY ANY SOULS TO HER NAME." The statue lunges at Vodka. Its voice booming and twisting the mental state of those who hear it.
The statue completely misses though. Skidding across the polished floors, and slamming into one of the art pieces covered in white sheets. Its face falls off and it shakes in a daze.

Two of Sassafrass' bees crawl close to their caretakers. Sadly, the 3rd bee becomes overwhelmed with the need to seek knowledge. Its body twists as the other two bees gaze on in horror.

Shelia tries to warn the others to cover their ears, but her voice is lost in the endless knowledge being poured out of the mouth of the statues. She watches as Jacket turns into a mass of tendrils. A monster of knowledge. A scholar of dark gods.

"WOW YOU EVEN BROUGHT COSTUMES? I HAVE TO SAY. SUPER IMPRESSED 10/10 JACKET!"
"Capital!"

Kobwugni on the other hand, listens to the knowledge, but refuses to accept it. The knowledge attacks her mind like a parasite, ripping most of what she knows apart until she is nothing but a pile of pitiful goo. A wug.

The statues ignore the chaos breaking out around them. The black one approaches Vodka with no fear. "Ha! Without any souls to your name you're like a mortal!"
"How cute!"
"It's going to be exciting to rip you apart, just for a little fun!~"
"What are you? Leave Vodka alone!"
The gold statue gives up on trying to find where its face has dropped and charges Vodka again.

But without a face, it slams once again into a wall. It is not as good at seeing via senses alone as well as its counterpart.

The pristine bee summoned between the statue and Vodka acts, as it goes to sting the statue.

Fortuna rolls a 20 sided die with a modifier of +23. A 40 is rolled.
The bee gives up its life to sting the statue in the neck. Strangly, this action totally disables the statue. It freezes in place, and shows no more moment, nor makes anymore sounds.

Sadly....the stringer of the bee is ripped out, and it dies as well.
"What sort of beast did you summon to hurt her?"
"Vodka did not summon any beast! Vodka just wanted to talk to mum!"
"You're not going to take me down as easily!"
"IS IT OVER? I CANT HEAR ANYTHING?"

Whatever is left of Jacket goes to collect up the fallen face from the statue, if out of some change of loyalty or idle curiosity remains to be seen.

Jacket finds the face of god.

"Honey!~ Hand that over to me."
"I got a god to rip apart!~"
Jacket considers the face carefully for a moment, and then looks over at everyone else in the room.

"Forgive me for my hesitance but I was previously motivated by a hedonistic desire for mischief and mayhem and now I'm a much more mentally complicated being? So I'm still getting a bearing of where I stand in all this. What's in it for me?"
Veeatrice steps onto her feet, "Nobody fucks with my job!"
Veeatrice calls out, "I summoned the bees! I told that TV screened ass hat she would be back and I ain't a liar. I say to you, giant bullshit anomalous artifact. Fuck you."
"All civilians should be running. Because I've got something more to share with this 2 bit statue of ominous presence."
"I was saving this for when I saw that golden striped headache to pay him back for running me over with a goddamn truck a universe or two ago. I think now's a great time to unleash though!"

Another large swarm of bees are summon, because the cekeki has another [BEES?] trait.

A third swarm of [BEES?] are summoned because the cekeki has a 3rd bee trait!

The two bees leave their beloved owner behind, and reach the swarm. Normally bees are not loyal to anyone and are for all intensive purposes, their own faction but, these two bees believed in their owner, Sassafrass. They attempt to convince the other bees that, for just this once, to join the same side they were on.

"But son, when else will I get to eat a weakened little god like this!"
Jacket muses idly to herself.

"I wonder what gods taste like..."
"If you help me. I'll give you a taste of HOLY POWER."
"THROW YOUR BOMBAT AT THAT GOD. NOW."
"I've spent my entire existence motivated by food and I find no sensible reason to stop now."

Jacket throws her bombat at that god!

The bombat is launched at Vodka!

Jacket rolls a 20 sided die with a modifier of +11. A 13 is rolled.
It headbutts Vodka, throwing her to the ground. "M-Mum?"
Shelia has been refusing to uncover her ears, as the god is clearly still speaking.
Though, somewhere in her heart, she knows she wouldn't want to do anything.
Veeatrice doesn't think she's going to dent the god if everything she could throw at it would become warped. This had far exceeded her paygrade and she's not even going to get anything out of this! She could end up warped to shit and back rather then actually dying.

She curses under her breath in disappointment at having her bee related plans fail her, the swarms warped beyond recognition as she can only just stand there and simmer with anger. She was very much enraged that she couldn't do much.

She turns to look at Vodka and calls out, "Why are you still here you dumb bitch!"
"S-sorry I'll run!"
"Not fast enough, you won't!" The Unknown half launches itself at Vodka!
Vodka rolls a 20 sided die. A 6 is rolled.
Unknown rolls a 20 sided die with a modifier of +3. A 13 is rolled.

The claws of the god of the Unknown, grazes Vodka.

.....

The crew enters the art room of Azathoth. They all feel as if they've been here before, and met the artist, Azathoth before them. Something feels missing.....but no one can place their finger on what.

Maybe, it was the face of the golden statue?
Shelia almost feels disgusted at how much joy she feels.
She almost doesn't want to ruin it. She knows the statues before her are holy. Foretold to make things disappear. To change the knowledge of the universe to forget certain things.
"What lovely statues, I feel as if I have seen them before! ;)"
Jacket claps politely.
Kobwugni is, if anything, more distressed, yet feels compelled to try and clap with their stubby wuggy hands.
"I have the worst headache!"

Beeper claps along.
Sassafrass feels right stressed for a split second and she's not sure why.
"Uh, thanks, but it's my moms."
"Err like, my moms. Not my mom's. Ugh just forget it."
"Oh hoohoohoo!"
"Do not worry, I understand. ;)"
Jacket holds up the bit of statue in her hand, comparing it to the statues in front of her.

"How curious! It matches perfectly. How about that."
"You know what they say! Bird in the stone... two in the... the bird... the..."
"Well thisss isss all interesssting. I guesss we're here for....?" She looks at Veeatrice, her little bee hiding on her.
"... free art!"
Veeatrice walk along and calls out to the rest of the group, "This place is giving me a headache. I'm going to go look at all the other exhibits in the museum then leaving. This hasn't been as relaxing a trip as I hoped."
"Right, I'm with you bosss." Sassafrass says, calming down, as she shrugs her sleeved arms, following along with Veeatrice.

"Wug!"

Kobwugni is still very confused, distressed, but elects to follow along out of habit
"That is my mother's face you hold! Please return it to her head."
"That doesn't make any sense! Jacket has been holding it this whole time!"
"That's ridiculous. I just walked in here, how could I have possibly be in possession of your mother's face? I mean, I suppose I could vaguely recall a period where you might have once given me this face...But you're Azathoth. Everyone knows that these false memories are simply a byproduct of your powers."
"Yeah! Let's go! This artist is a joke!"
"Hey, Az is good. He helped me steal a car. His art's a massive fucking headache for some reason though. Should get that fixed, Az."
"Return my mother's face, scholar, as your holy duty to serve god."
"Or suffer the fate of blasphemy against the god you are tied to."
Committing blasphemy is a serious offense. Do you proceed? You will not be given warning about what happens.
Jacket tilts her head.

"Maybe they should ask me themself slash selves."
Jacket clearly doesn't take Azathoth himself very seriously, but walks forward, past him to return the face to the statue.
The statue's face is brought back to it. It slots in with ease. Jacket feels blessed.

The crew leaves the room, unimpressed by the art. Feeling as if they had expected a grand adventure, but came out feeling as if they lost more from entering the room.

RECAP?
"Anyone else feels like they're missing context that in the grand scheme of things would be direly important for their judgement on events?"
"THAT'S RIIIIIIIGHT!!!! IT'S TIME TO SHOW OFF THE QUESTS EVERYONE WAS GIVEN!!!"
"Starting with our first winner, the wiggly snake!!!"
Goal: You have [Three Bees]. At the start of the expo 3 bees will appear. You must make sure that at least 1 of the bees survives to the end of the expo. Your bees will attempt to sting someone if annoyed. Stinging someone kills them.
Powers: You can command your bees to move around or land on things.
"I don't know where you lost 2 of your bees, but hey, at least you have one of them! That's a point for you!!!!"
"I don't know why I feel so pisssed..."
"But alssso a little proud."
"Mind if I keep the little dude? Ssseemsss a little lonely."
"Sure, not like that bee is a criminal or anything. Knock yourself out!"
"Next up, we have the artist loving duo! The Scholar and a wug!!!!"
Goal: You might be evil, but you love the arts. Do not break any gallery rules.

  • No running

  • No fighting

  • You must clap soon after seeing an art piece

  • Must say the following posh words at some point. "Golly gosh" "Old bean" "Capital" "Jersey" "Poppycock"


Powers: Anytime you say a posh word, the next person to roll gets a -5. If you use multiple words before anyone rolls, the debuff stacks. This does not affect characters who can be counted as "artists."

"I'm uh....hm...not sure how a wug managed to pass this, considering it can't talk, but uh....." Circe looks over to a rat.
The rat is sitting in a nest of ripped up paper from a book. "Squeak."
"That was fun."
"Wug.........."
"He says you both won, so that's that!"
"Hmmmmmmm lastly...this one is hard....."
Goal: Get someone killed.
Powers: You have the power to summon a SINGLE +20 attack bee. It was no morals, or sense of alignment. You can summon it anywhere in the room, but not on / in a person.
"I feel like I'm missing context, did she manage to get someone killed?"
The rats sniff the air, a little unsure themselves. Unlike everyone else, they remember what happened, but they're not sure if it counted as a kill.
The rats sort of yawn and shrug. They say give her the point anyway, as she had, at the very least defeated for a short time, something rather powerful.
"Sounds like something I'd do. Since everyone around here is having some terrible memory problems. Why not? Heh."
"Well, what the rats say, goes! Looks like we have a whooooole party win here!"
"Some of you are super duper close to freedom!"
"See you folks next time!~"
"I hope next time is a lot less confusing..."

[New Danganronpa V3 O.S.T. White - 38. Moon on the Water]

Blockmons were a special type of creatures made by a god of power. One half of the Radical. While they looked simple, they had a unique feature seen in no other creature.....

If one could call them a creature anyway.

"Vodka!"

They were unable to be copied or edited. Non-Fungible.

While the rest of the universe had forgotten about the killed god, the blockmons did not.

Barley doesn't know why the other artists invited him to be at this event, but he was slowly coming to the conclusion that they wanted to mock him. He looked at the blockmons he was once proud of, and kept remembering people's comments. "What is my art missing......."

"Bzzzzt!!! Vodka?????"

"People are right, you guys aren't useful for anything, you're not art, you're missing....." The blockmons all chirp out a quick "Vodka" again. They don't understand why their creator had forgotten about her.
"A soul.......You're not art. You're just....random numbers generated until you looked like art."
"I wasted 20 years of my life on you all."
"20 lonely years. Held up...."Hodling" on you guys ever having a use."
"I could have spent that looking for my other half....."
"Even going back to dad would have been better than this. I could have become a manager for artists at least."
"B-But I'm not willing to give up on my dreams just yet. I know I could make some real art, I just need........"
Soul. That's what most of the people who saw his blockmons said. His art was lacking a soul. No matter how much he asked what a "soul" was in art, no one could pinpoint it, and even when they could, multiple people would have multiple answers. A soul was a dynamic thing. It had no purpose in the living, only having use in death, but maybe art was made of....soul.

Maybe it wasn't a metaphorical statement.
The Radical, the god of which Barley was half of, was a god powered by souls. Usually depicted with billions of souls surrounding it. Supporters admiring it and praising its every move. Barley didn't need a crowd of people but......he wanted just one. Just....one soul would do.

"I don't need you things anymore. You're not art. You don't even have a use!"
"I....." Barley struggles to admit this. "I....think this whole crypto thing was a scam. And I fell for it...."
"I'm going to find myself a real artist.....the best artist."
"Then my works will have the soul that I need." Barley stumbles out of his gallery, his blockmons attempt to follow him behind, but a quick slam of a door disconnects them from their creator.

The blockmon all huddle by the door before one of them perks up.

"Bones!"

The blockmons hop up and down in their abandoned gallery, chanting the name of Barley's inspiration. The great artist.

Bones.

Surely the sight of a 100 tiny neon lit creatures in a darken room yelling "Bones" would give quite a fright to the next guest.

END OF EXPO.
