So, this is chapter two? This will be an experimentation. If I get enough feedback and I'm feeling it, I'll continue the story. If not, I'll write the third chapter and that will be the end of the story.
"Ya know," Marissa spoke aloud. "I think I read something about scientists programming pencils to be able to animate whatever you draw." Marissa and Champ were hanging out at the local cafè. It was a few weeks after their encounter with Huan, and things couldn't have gotten better. Their drawings had definitely improved, and were constantly praised for their work.
"Really? Is it out on the market yet?" Champ asked, sipping on some weird milkshake concoction that had cereal in it. Marissa pulled out her laptop and began typing away, becoming sucked into the internet until she came across the article she was looking for.
"Here, it says that they sell them online, but the bookstore down the block are starting to sell them. Also, they're programmed so that you can change the color and shade whenever you want to." She explained, turning the laptop screen so Champ could read the contents of the article. "We could go check them out now, the bookstore opens in five minutes, if I remember correctly." Champ drained the rest of his milkshake, standing up and pulling on her arm as he said "Let's go."
Marissa adjusted her beanie, rubbing her fingerless-gloved hand across her arms as she held her hot tea close to her body for warmth. "If I'm right, there's also a sale going on today, so I'm definitely taking advantage of that." She said, sipping on her tea as she walked.
The duo soon reached the bookstore, finding themselves sighing as the heat from inside welcomed them inside. After checking out a new manga (Marissa's request), they soon went over to check on the animation pencils.
"Look at this thing." Champ whistled. " Perfectly balanced with a good eraser, all completed with a comfortable grip and the chip containing the programming. This is one heck of a beauty." Marissa grabbed another pencil and silently thanked the person who came up with such a brilliant idea.
"Buy it. I can't say much now, but it might get into the wrong hands, as predicted by the descendants on Aunt Wu." Champ and Marissa turned around to find Huan already testing out the pencil by recreating his Banana/Harmonic Convergence piece.
"But wasn't Aunt Wu a hoax or something?" Champ asked, scratching his head after realizing that senpa-no, Huan, was talking to them.
"No, you have it wrong. She was able to predict Kataang being a thing all the way from Book One, that has to mean something!" Marissa countered, making Champ nod in agreement.
"Anyways, I can't say anything more, so just buy the pencils and test them out when you're safe and alone. Now, I have to go before somebody notices me, because thanks to you guys, I now have uncultured people screaming all over me." Huan said, bidding his goodbye and walking out into the cold winter air.
Marissa and Champ shrugged, and before they knew it, they were purchasing their pencils (and the manga) while taking advantage of both the sale and their membership discount.
I was inspired for the animated pencil thing by the music video for the song Ordinary World by Red. Hopefully, I can continue this, because even I want to know what happens next!
