Hello.

This is an announcement for a small art series I'm doing with a few of the SBS characters. Now that I have made definitive drawings of them, I hope to draw your OCs a small bit more with some extra . . . Creativity! To show you I can do more than just simple line art and flat colors.

That being said . . . If you don't want me to keep drawing your OCs, let me know. Thank you for reading.

Please enjoy this narrative announcement.

Yours sincerely,
Bori T.

. . . . . . . . . . . .

Quiet. Silent. Completely devoid of sound, movement, and light.

A dark, cold numbness swam within the room. . . Nothing but the light of a small and sleek laptop lit the surrounding area. Noiseless and lightless . . . Was exactly how Bori liked it. But not simply because she was depressed, or that they thought it was peaceful (although those were secondary reasons for this,), but because it had to be quiet.

They had to be as soundless as a
mouse—stilled by the fear of a near by cat. Bori had to steel themself in an unspeaking, low stillness . . . And a quick glance at the clock quickly reminded them why.

It was 4:43 in the FUCKING MORNING.

So that was why he had to stay quiet! Bori, kept up this late by insomnia, had sat with their laptop, watching mindless videos on the internet. Some were videos they had seen before. . . Some were just random things that looked interesting. With Bori's parents sleeping in the bedroom just next to her, bow couldn't make himself to be a nuisance by making some kind of riot or roughhousing.

That being said, Bori found himself missing the energy to do so anyway, as they looked to the simple dregs of the internet; hoping that perhaps it might actually lull her to sleep.

But nah.

Sleep was far from an option. And at this point. . . They might as well be doing something productive with their extra time, no?

"Alllllllright. You got me, brain. . . I'm up. What am I gonna do now???"

Bori spoke to nobody. In fact, they didn't speak at all. Had they the ability to speak to his own brain, she would do it in a heartbeat. Simply so he may berated themself about her lackluster intelligence. That being said, Bori paused the video they watched, and instead opted to put on some music, picking a playlist that they typically enjoy to listen to. They had already written their fair share of things today, and since school has only just started, he had no responsibilities to it yet. So, out of all the options, they opened the drawing program on her phone.

"Sooooo. . . The fuck am I doiiiiin????"

Sitting with a hand to her chin, he thinks of what to make.

They had recently drawn a series of DR OCs from "Shadows Beneath the Spotlight," the Applyfic they had been following (by JustAnSideCharacter ) and applied for. The results were . . . Nice. The original creators liked the drawings, and Bori was happy to have made them for the SBS community to look at and enjoy! ☺️ They said he'd take a break from drawing but. . . .

"Hmmmmmmmmmmmmm. I. . . Maybe there's something I can do with the characters. . . Well, assuming I have the permission still. If not, then maybe the creators should tell me now . . ."

They sat in thought a little bit longer . . . Thinking about SBS and it's style. It has a sort of . . . Classy sci-fi feel to it, what with all the theaters and sci-fi gizmos mentioned. Actually, a fair amount of the cast and contestants could fit the "performance" and "entertainment"
category. Bori wondered, could something additionally artistic be gleamed from the tone set within the book? . . .

"How curious. . . Hmmmm."

Without another second of pondering, Bori set to work with a new idea in mind. Performance. . . So quaint.

Entertainment can be so many things. A story, a murder, an enlightening. . . . . An inspiration, rehabilitation, destruction. . . . . . It's avenues aren't limited to a single reticle of space. It could be therapy, anarchy. . . Or exactlywhat it's meant to be. "Entertainment."

So, let's explore this thesis of performance and make something of it.

Hmhmhmhm. . . Tehehehehehe!

I want to want to make these OCs SCREAM in showmanship. . .

"Don't you?"
