[Argentine is crouching on stone pillar which he's brought with him. He was resting, just thinking, and decided to sit here in the hopes of running into someone. The snow, however, has taken him off guard and he tips his head up to look at the sky.]

...Is there art dreaming somewhere? [He reaches up a gloved hand to catch some snow.] How strange.

Flat | Top-Level Comments Only

[Argentine's probably very in tune with the few emotions Hikari have, so there's a faint expression of approval in Satoshi's lips] Understandable. Do you have any idea who brought the library to the Plane?

[Even faint approval is more than Argentine gets from the Hikari, so that makes him happy. Though he does focus on the question.]

I don't, though that does seem suspect...

The person who received the other note was inspecting that library but found nothing.

Then what clues have we?

That and the information I've collected, which only marks a correlation between the cards and the effects. All the other notes are ambiguous and seemed connected to the cards.

But still no idea what it means?

[nods] I don't have all the clues.

How bothersome. Then there's nothing we can do.

I won't stop investigating. Please keep me informed of anything you discover.

I will, Creator.

[a beat]

Has everything else been acceptable?

[that was an awkward way to ask 'how are you']

The Niwa provide an adequate living arrangement. The artworks are stored well enough, though I'm making a few adjustments in the climate control to help personalize it for the works. They really have stolen so many.

[there's something he hides of himself in the way he adjusts his glasses] I know.

Aside from the Towa no Shirube, are most of the works agreeable to you?

[a nod.]

Most are not so inadequate as she and are happy to have me repair and tend to them. Their emotions vary but most are agreeable enough.

The Towa no Shirube is an excellent work of art. [his voice is laced in amusement, though]

Perhaps objectively, though I find her flaws outweigh her value.

[Really, he's just sulking.]

I must wonder why our artworks tend not to get along.

[Argentine thinks about it.]

A reflection of the Creator?

[slightly bothered by this assessment (and how true it might be)] It seemed artwork was the one thing he did care about.

For some artwork, this was true. The ideals of art outweighed the individual work.

[Remember, you're talking to a rejected piece here.]

[calmly] I didn't know our artwork was capable of feeling bitter.

[Actually, no, he lives with Krad, but it's his way of pointing it out]

[This artwork is currently displaying the emotion of pouting. Though it is Argentine, so it is lineface plus a hint of pout.]

An artwork is capable of feeling many emotions, it seems.

Isn't it part of your responsible to keep our art from grief?

I do my best to ease their feelings.

[Satoshi considers him a moment. Then.] I don't care for snow.

[he starts walking to the library]
