"While engaging in humor would be a delight, this is no joke. ;)"
O-6
O-6 grabs Shelia by the bottom of her face and drags her forward to be forced to look at what she had created. O-6 is unbothered by the other two notails in the room. "Then motherfucking tell me what this is! >:3"

"Romance of Meat and Herbs - Shelia"

This work is a commission for O-6.

Sheila
"It is the commission you requested. You said to draw you and your husband in an animalistic form engaging in a romantic event. ;)"
O-6
"It looks like fucking shit! You call that art, bitch? Are you trying to make fun of me? Spite me? I know you draw better than this!" O-6 pauses to look at the painting again, though never letting go of Shelia's face.
O-6
"You didn't even make it the right damn type of animal form. >:3"
Sheila
"But it is a tiger, just like you asked. ;)"

Sheila
"Are not all tigers on four legs? ;)"
O-6
"You....want to play the fucking smart guy huh? You KNOW what I was ordering. And you fucked it up on purpose! I've commissioned you plenty of times in the past, this isn't your work! >:3"
Sheila
"Hoo hoo.....I told you before. I do not do artworks of cloth, nor paints. You are thinking of Princess, not me."

"My art is of poor quality because I have simply never painted much before. Paint is not an art form that impresses me. It is too rigid. A single moment-" Shelia is cut off as O-6 grabs and lifts her by her neck.
O-6
"Don't you fucking start your fake ass 'I'm Shelia' shit."
O-10
Ox is finally forced to step in. She won't have her tour of the artworks ruined by having her coworker's dead body in the room. "O-6. Stop. c:<"

Ox doesn't comment on being called O-10. "Well my honest opinion on the artwork is that...."

It wasn't supposed to be abstract.

"I have a lot of their artwork in storage if you want to see it. Some pretty famous works too. c:<"

"I'd be more than interested in seeing it with my very two eyes, and I do believe your criticism rings true, dear maecena. I'll do better next time." She then motions her hand at N-414's direction.

"Trapped Hound" - By The Timeless Artist

To be freed from one's chains only to end up in another. The hound cannot escape his confines.

O-6
"There's a better image of my damn hound here, than there is of me! >:3"
O-10
"Hmmmm this is a very old piece, but it's not done by Shelia, so it can't be compared. c:<"

"But for this single moment, in this single instance, what you say will matter in such a way that your peers would never be able to achieve. This is the peak of your career, among three O-classes. Now tell, what's your opinion on this painting you see? ;)"
N-414
"I don't care for art. It is a waste of time that could be better spent on more productive things, such as tending to the well being of Q-Classes entire systems away from home, or feeding my dog."

Ox places her hand on O-6's shoulder. "You. Are. Not. Going to hurt him. c:<"
O-6
"You fucking tell me what kind of answer was that?!? >:3"
O-10
"It's just his opinion that he can't judge art because all art is useless to him."

N-414
"Thank you for your grace, Ox."

"..............................................." O-6 points at the painting and then at Shelia.
Sheila
Sheila was good at redirecting vitriol. She was the O-4, after all.
O-6

She sighs a little as she side-glances the painting.
"Fine. I'll redo it... But I have a question. ;)"
O-6
"Go on. >:3"
Sheila
Sheila hands join up, awkwardly thinking as she slowly tilts her head to the painting, examining the tiger delivering the rose to his lover.

"What's the "right type of animal form"?"
O-6
"You have access to """Prince-Bitch's""" computer, you have access to everything she owns. Go take five seconds to figure it out!"
O-6
"And don't deliver that to me. That's not fucking art. >:3" O-6 does not wait to listen to Shelia give her "nonsense" excuses. He leaves.

"The tiger's draining, and I do often tune out what most he says, but I can survive him in small doses, sure. I prefer that he dislikes me a little."
Sheila
"Specially since he dislikes everyone else a little more, hoho! There's no special treatment here."
Sheila
"But, uh, I can't really do what he asks for. ;)"
O-10

"O-6 owes me quite a few favors. He can't fight me, not as long as he has debts to pay. (I hope you haven't forgotten you owe me a few favors yourself.) So as long as I'm around, you don't have to worry about a thing."

The now towering pillar of wires reaches the ceiling and is forced to "slouch" to fit in the room.
O-10
"If you don't mind owing me a few more favors, I don't mind rush commissioning another artist to pretend it's by you..... Don't worry, I won't ask you to take on anything big. c:<" The wires slink closer to the commission for O-6.

"I wish I was able to do it all myself without relying too much on your help, but." She gives a few small knocks on her mask's forehead, taking care to not touch the horn.

Barley Bonekeeper
"Sorry. Understood. I'll come back later." Barley slinks out of the room after placing the commission back on the wall.

Sheila comes closer to the portrait, and adjusts it a little as she speaks mindlessly. "Although there's some truth somewhere in your opinion, and some facts I naturally disagree. Art is a tool, N-414. It isn't useless. "

"In the hands of a proper craftsman, it can express a ideology, belief or thought. Visions upon visions, the path of somewhere where you want to go or an objective you want to achieve. Inherently meaningful. ;)"
Sheila
"Which is why AIs can't make art. In the hands of that our wired friend that just left, art has the same meaning to him as random splotches of paint onto a canvas: As pretty as it is meaningless."
Sheila
"Some AIs are so advanced that theses random splotches of paint do resemble something, sometimes. Marvellous, isn't it? ;)"
