A Little Bit of Art

[Raleigh]

*Some movement might catch their eyes near the bar suddenly.* Oi, what happened to get you two here? *Raleigh turns around to look at the guests in this little prison.*

"Umm...Hello sir," said Mia as she looked at Raleigh and said, "Mr. Raleigh? I don't know the details but all I remember was was walking by an interesting portrait and then getting absorbed into."

[Albedo]

"Is that what it was? I just sat on one and then was here."

[Raleigh]

Yes. It was supposed to be a painting of the city at night but I messed up and used a bit of my more mystical paints. I'm sad to say we are all stuck in this little prison for a bit. I've used this method before to seal up targets that I want to... entertain while I am busy. I know there is a way out but I was taking a moment to rest. Care to join me? I can conjure up some real drinks or whatever if you want since drinking anything behind the bar there would be nearly impossible and even if you succeeded would be like drinking some paint.

[Maiden Miki]

"That be fine. I don't mind being in here before," said Mia with a polite smile. "I been stuck in paintings before. Kinda refreshing. Also a drink would be nice please Mr. Raleigh."

[Albedo]

"Refreshing? And sure, one drink."

[Raleigh]

Anything you two prefer?

I do believe there is a quick way for us to escape if I recall how I structure these correctly. Care to accompany me to finding the 'heart' of this little prison? If I crush it we should be free but the problem is finding it. Even I don't know where it is likely to be placed.

"Hmm...Can I have a nice strawberry shake?" asked Mia as she seem a bit sheepish. She then listened and said, "I don't mind coming along and helping. I surely don't want to be here for the rest of my life."

[Albedo]

"As neat as it sounds, I'd rather be trapped in something better looking for the rest of my life. And vanilla shake, if you please." Dori says as she looks out at the nighttime outside.

[Raleigh]

*The requested shakes appear before the one who ordered them.* Could be worse. At least this isn't a crystal. You have no idea how quickly one can nearly go insane when they have nothing to do for a thousand years other than study the lattice of their prison.

[Albedo]

"True, though it's oddly interesting." Dori says as she drinks her drink.

[Raleigh]

Only if you aren't worried about your projects and how they will go.... and a portion of your self and powers are bound to keeping you and your allies from ever being set free.

[Maiden Miki]

Mia just sipped on her drink and looked around. "So did you make this? Why?"

[Raleigh]

I was trying to make art. You see my kind are incapable of it. The art you all got captured in is merely an emulation of human talent but not what it needs to be to count for art created by my kind sadly. Its a thing several of us occasionally try to overcome but we usually fail. If you are asking why I made the prison then the answer is I didn't mean to. I messed up the paints I had and accidentally created one of the spirit prisons I have had to use in the past. You don't know how many times that has come up.

[Albedo]

"So wait, you said part of you is bound to not let us free?" Al blinks, "So how /do/ we get out?"
