Comments: Just Ruse(oc) thinking of some grapes. Her favorite color is purple and I've been wanting to draw her with a sort of Yoshi's Island aesthetic for a while now but nothing concrete comes to mind. It will eventually.

Day # 037 Theme: none Time spent: idk honestly. I added 340 words to this project I'm still working on. The total word count below is 1644.
Astra's āhomeā was a large mahogany trim courtroom with several rows of red padded chairs and red carpet down the main aisle. The blue and gold Nebraska state flag was poised on one side of the judgeās podium, and on the opposite side, the United States flag was knocked over, collecting dust on the floor Astra was sitting on the floor in the aisle, digging through things in her backpack. She pulled out a lamp with a push button light and set it on the floor. The lamplight lit up a small pile of splintered wood and crumpled paper, as well as a burnt black spot on the carpet where it appeared in recent days Astra had started a small fire for cooking or warmth. āRamen, anybody?ā she asked her two guests, holding up three brick chicken-flavored ramen packets she had also scooped out from her backpack. Ruse, still hovering in the doorway, looked around at the courtroom. The lamp sent shadows of the booths and flag pole at the front of the room against the wall. It felt somewhat ominous and oppressive, but she couldnāt figure out why. She was lucky enough to have never been called in for jury duty since settling in Japantown, so it wasnāt that. Perhaps it had something to do with a previous lifeā¦ Cautiously, she removed her ballet flats and placed them neatly together on a red carpeted floor mat just outside the door, then she entered the room and sat in the aisle as well, with her two bags in her lap. She leaned her head against Astra. āRamen sounds niceā¦ā What sounded even nicer was a lazy day at home, reading the final book of her manga. She wanted to escape into that fantasy world with Yuki Niji and Sora, two shoujo in love, battling monsters and saving the galaxy from evil. She missed the normalcy she felt when she was in that zone, and it was getting to her. āWould you believe I got it from that snack machine out in the lobby? I had to bust open the glass with a two-by-four, but I got me some dinner! Honestly, Iām amazed nobody heard me, haha. And itās not even expired yet!ā Astra pulled a black non-stick pot, a lighter, and a fifty ounce bottle of water out of her backpack next. How she fit all those things in that regular-sized backpack, Ruse did not know. āLetās make some grub,ā Astra went on. She gathered up all the nearby small pieces of wood and paper and placed them on the burnt spot on the floor in a square log cabin formation, casually musing out loud to Ruse about how lucky she was to have not burned the place to the ground yet. She then set the black pot on top of the wood, perfectly balanced, and poured the water from the bottle into it, followed by the contents of the ramen packets. āWeāre gonna have to eat directly from the pot if thatās alright,ā she continued. She grabbed the lighter and used it to light a crumbled paper, which she stuffed between two pieces of firewood, causing the whole formation to be set alight. When a few seconds had passed, she lifted the pot and swished it back and forth, separating the clumps of bouillon. After standing in the doorway for a good five minutes, Kevin finally waddled into the courtroom. He turned off his phone flashlight and put it into his shorts pocket, then slid his trenchcoat off neatly around his banjoās strap. The shirt he was sporting underneath had once been white with the Nintendo logo in red across the front, but it was now yellow with stains and sweat, and the logo image was cracked and faded. His pits especially were dark and starchy with old sweat. He laid the trenchcoat over his arm, then sat down cross-legged across from the girls. Nobody spoke for a moment, as they were all watching the water in the pot slowly start to bubble. āYou walked all the way across town from here to Sparklecon?ā Kevin asked Astra. He was eyeing her incredulously from beneath the brim of his fedora. āYeah. I needed the money,ā Astra replied, ignoring his continued prying. āPeople will do crazy things if theyāre hungry. Besides, I know I can sing. I knew I could win that contest. I got the talent to go with the confidence.ā Then she changed the subject, probably to get Kevin off her back. āRuse, I have a coupleāa plastic forks in my bag, you can grab them if you want. Theyāre in the front pouch.ā Ruse grabbed the forks, which were each sealed in plastic. Astra had probably taken them from a restaurant that gave plastic utensils away for free. Ruse handed one to both of her friends, and kept a third for herself. Astra and Kevin both opened their forks while Ruse left hers on the floor to her side. āYou know,ā Astra continued, noting the quietness from the other two, āI havenāt really eaten much over the last few days. Not since I got kicked out, I mean. Thisāll be my first actual meal in like a week.ā She swished the pot again, then used her plastic fork to spread out the softening noodles. The fire crackled softly. āI only took what I could fit in my bag, and honestly I just chose food, you know? You donāt need clothes to survive, so I just grabbed some stuff to cook with and some dry food. And some Axe, I guess. Gotta smell nice if I want a cutie to make me her boo.ā She laughed at her own predicament. āSometimes I just sprayed that stuff across me like,ā she mimicked spraying an āxā across her chest, āinstead of taking a shower. Gross, huh?ā āItās just as good,ā Kevin said, agreeing with Astra for the first time. āMy man,ā Astra nodded to him. She then turned to Ruse, who was staring at the ground with a far off look in her eyes. āHey, you alright?ā Ruse snapped out of her dissociation. āOh, umā¦sorryā¦everything is just catching up to me. So much has happened over such a short period of time. Iām listening though, I promise. Justā¦processing everything else at the same time. Everything is making me so tiredā¦ā Her eyes were slowly gaining their liveliness again, and what Astra said hit her a bit late. āYou donāt smell at all, by the way.ā āReach back into the bag, I have a few cans of Mountain Dew if youād be so inclined. Itāll wake you right up.ā āAw yeah, gamer fuel!ā Kevin cheered. Then when Ruse produced the cans, he noticed that the labels on them were in Japanese. āWaitā¦you stole those ones from my shop!ā Astra shrugged. āI was just tryna survive, man. I said Iād pay you back. I will.ā Ruse handed Kevin one of the green cans of caffeinated goodness, and set another aside with her fork. She wasnāt much for American beverages, especially not ones with as much sugar as Mountain Dew. She was more of a Ramune girl. Kevin immediately opened his can and began to slurp down the unnaturally green liquid, all the while eyeing Astra with suspicion. There was no evidence of her having that money she kept saying sheād pay him at whatever point, and he for sure didnāt want Ruse to pay him back on her behalf. āListen Ruse,ā Astra said to her disoriented admirer, āyou donāt have to stay awake if you donāt want to. Itās fine if you just wanna sleep. I donāt have any blankets, but there are some towels in the janitor closet downstairs that work just as well.ā Ruse gestured her hands as if to say āno, thanksā. āNo, itās okay. I know what I can do to stay alert.ā She set her two bags in front of herself, then pulled open the floral flap of the one and grabbed her sketchpad from inside. In the ringed binding was a mechanical pencil. She pulled it out and flipped open the sketchpad in her lap. There were dozens upon dozens of dress designs sketched on the pages. āIāve been wanting to do a Rainbow Brite design. I like the colors and the accessories and the puffy, bloopy style of clothing from the series. Itās so cute.ā She rolled up her sweater sleeves and began to scribble basic shapes and lines. āThough, itās not what I normally do. I prefer lolita style dresses and accessories. I just thought Iād do something different for a change.ā āWow,ā Astra commented, her eyes following the pencil as Ruse drew. āYouāre good at that.ā She set the pot of fully-cooked ramen down, which caused burning carpet fibers to hiss. āHow long have you been drawing? These are nice.ā Kevin stuck his fork into the pot and swirled up a clump of noodles. He stuffed it into his face, and with a full mouth said, āsince before she met me, thatās for sure.ā He leaned over and laid on his side with his face over the pot and continued to eat from it. āSince college. I wasnāt paid for it back then, though,ā Ruse said, with a slight crack in her voice. And although her skin was dark, it was very obvious she was blushing. āHeā¦Henry convinced me that it wouldnāt get me anywhere, so it took me a long time to even consider selling the things I make.ā āI helped.ā Kevin added. Astra looked from Ruse, to Kevin, then back to Ruse. They were two remarkably different people, but they seemed so close, so on the same page. āHow did you guys meet?ā She too stuck her fork in the noodle pot and began to serve herself some dinner, all the while smiling expectantly at Ruse.
Comments: This is the excerpt I worked most on today in my current project, Under The Same Stars. I added context in almost every scene and in total I added over 300 words. The story is still not done. I still haven't written the final chapter.

Comments: Ruse. There's a recurring thing in the story where she really wants to talk to Breanna. Like, she moved to Japantown solely to creep at Breanna. Then she never does it because she's a coward lol. Kicking herself here. Of course she ends up with Astra but still.
