Lake

* Phone Fling
* Official

Lake is a phone fling girl and artist who contacts you, looking for a random stranger to bounce ideas off of. She punches numbers into her phone at random until it reaches someone (You). She is unlocked by getting three Sawyer pictures.

## Personality

**Lake** seems to not be confident in her abilities as an artist, as she felt the need to contact a stranger for ideas, even stating that she dislikes her art and that she feels like a fraud. She says has had anxiety for months or even years, which she gets rid of by talking to you. She also says she has a "lack of vanity", not having much pride in her looks.

## Trivia

* One of the dialogue options mentions the quote, "Did he who made the lamb make thee?", a reference to an English poem, The Tyger.
	+ The quote also appears in the American TV series, Hannibal.
* She is the "Artist Friend" Sawyer mentions during her conversation with you. **Lake** notes that she is "always saying something nice to me", and comparing her to volleyballs.
	+ **Lake** is working on a sculpture of Sawyer as a gift for her kindness. You see the photo-reference for that sculpture during your conversation with Sawyer.
* She's the second girl that you send a photo instead of her. The first time was with Ruri. In fact, with **Lake**, you send her multiple photos.
* In the mobile version, she has a bra on under her overalls. That means that her fullbody sprites without the bra don't exist.

## Messages

### First Conversation

An artist contacts you at random for some ideas. Luckily, you seem to have plenty of them.

#### Moist version

The NSFW conversation starts to diverge from the SFW conversation with your third response before Lake sends you the first picture (32/54).

### Second Conversation

Lake's brain wants to flirt with You instead of creating art. Can you help her do both at the same time? The second conversation is unlocked by reaching level 25 Tenderness.

#### Moist Version

The NSFW conversation first diverges from the SFW version when you send an Art without the heart-shaped censors.

### Third Conversation

Lake contacts you once again for another Art recommendation. The third conversation is unlocked by reaching level 30 Tenderness.

#### Moist Version

The NSFW conversation first diverges from the SFW version when you send an Art without the heart-shaped censors.

#### Moist Version

The NSFW conversation first diverges from the SFW version when you send an Art without the heart-shaped censors.

## Dialogue List

### First Meeting

1. It's the night of the gallery opening, and you've made it your personal mission to document the event.
2. You're so focused on taking as many artsy photos as possible that you don't see the waiter crossing your path. You bump right into each other, and the tray of drinks goes flying!
3. Painting - CRUSHED!
4. Juice drips down Lake's prized artwork. She looks on in horror as the crowd begins to gasp and point. Covering her face with her hands, Lake runs from the room. You'd better go make sure she's okay.

### Adversary

* My big break... Ruined. Maybe I'll get another chance someday. Or maybe I won't. Life is fikle like that.

#### Sorry

* Beauty is pain. But is pain beautiful? Perhaps the less "artist" I am... The more "art" I become. Am I sounding pretentious? Sorry... It's a coping mechanism.
* My imposter syndrome is acting up. If only Sawyer were here to give me a hug. What about you? Are you much of a hugger?
* Maybe I'll take a break from art for a while. Try something totally different. Farming, perhaps? I already have the overalls!
* Don't mind me, I'm just ruminating. You see, I refuse to live an unexamined life, and after what just happened... There's a lot to think about.

#### Poke

* Oh! Did you need something from me? Sorry, I was lost in a reverie...

#### Gift

* How interesting. Perhaps I can use it in one of my "found objects" sculptures?

Upgrade to Nuisance

1. What is art, anyway? How do you define it? Can anyone define it? Should they?
2. It's not easy being uncertain all the time, that's for sure. Or... Is it? Gah!

### **Nuisance**

* I'm feeling blue. It's okay, though. Ultramarine is the most expensive of all pigments, so in a way, my sorrow has value.

#### Sorry

* You know something? I'm glad my painting got destroyed. That one tragic event saved me from becoming a sellout. I may spend the rest of my life languishing in obscurity, but at least I've got my integrity. You can pay the heating bill with integrity, right?
* My favorite color is all of them. But these days, I only feel like painting in grayscale.
* Intention is what matters. You didn't intend to wreck my painting, so of course I don't blame you. I hope you don't blame yourself, either.
* My imposter syndrome is acting up. If only Sawyer were here to give me a hug. What about you? Are you much of a hugger?
* Beauty is pain. But is pain beautiful? Perhaps the less "artist" I am... The more "art" I become. Am I sounding pretentious? Sorry... It's a coping mechanism.
* Art. Who needs it? There's more to life than just that one thing you've always been incredibly passionate about that's informed your entire identity to the point that you don't know how to function without it, right?

#### Gift

* How interesting. Perhaps I can use it in one of my "found objects" sculptures?

#### Poke

* Eek! Did Sawyer tell you about my secret ticklish spot? Haha, no fair!

Upgrade to Frenemy

1. For as long as I can remember, people have always complimented me on my talent. After a while I started to wonder... is that the only thing about me that has any value? And does talent even have value, if you cannot support yourself on it?
2. Anyway, shall we grab a bite to eat? I'm starving.

### **Frenemy**

* I've been feeling fairly uninspired since... The Incident. It's nice to be able to talk about it, though, so thanks for hanging around while I mope.

#### Sorry

* Intention is what matters. You didn't intend to wreck my painting, so of course I don't blame you. I hope you don't blame yourself, either.
* Tell me more about your hobbies. I understand you have quite a lot of them - on top of several jobs. Are you a time traveler, or do you just bore easily?
* Sometimes I know who I am, and sometimes I don't. I am a perpetual work-in-progress.
* What is style anyway? Is it merely a set of characteristics, repeated in every piece, each piece becoming little more than a facsimile of the one before, as the artist bows to the pressure of personal tradition...? Ahh, maybe I need a brain break.
* Art. Who needs it? There's more to life than just that one thing you've always been incredibly passionate about that's informed your entire identity to the point that you don't know how to function without it, right?
* You know something? I'm glad my painting got destroyed. That one tragic event saved me from becoming a sellout. I may spend the rest of my life languishing in obscurity, but at least I've got my integrity. You can pay the heating bill with integrity, right?
* At this rate, I'm probably going to end up being a sandwich artist. At least my family will be proud of me for getting a "real job."
* I am more than my art. I also enjoy... Beachcombing. And thrift stores. And houseplants!
* I rarely finish anything. New ideas pour in, and I can't help but chase them, regardless of what I'm leaving behind. That makes me sound like a flake, doesn't it? Flakey Lake. Ew, that sounds gross. Haha.
* My favorite color is all of them. But these days, I only feel like painting in grayscale.

#### Gift

* Why are you being so nice to me? I definitely don't deserve this. Well, anyway... Thank you.

#### Poke

* Eek! Did Sawyer tell you about my secret ticklish spot? Haha, no fair!

Upgrade to Acquaintance

1. Why do you enjoy spending time with me?
2. It’s a question I ask all my friends and colleagues. It’s my way of trying to understand something… Not about them, but about myself.

### Acquaintance

* I’d better get out of this funk soon, or they’ll revoke my artistic license.

#### Chat

* Sometimes I know who I am, and sometimes I don't. I am a perpetual work-in-progress.
* Does every cloud have a silver lining? Or only the clouds that block out the sun? If I'm not creating something beautiful, does the darkness win?
* Tell me more about your hobbies. I understand you have quite a lot of them - on top of several jobs. Are you a time traveler, or do you just bore easily?
* I wish I had even a little of Sawyer's confidence. She's so carefree. She radiates happiness. Plus, she's toned like a marble statue. Sometimes I don't know if I want to be her, or be with her! Teehee!
* What is style anyway? Is it merely a set of characteristics, repeated in every piece, each piece becoming little more than a facsimile of the one before, as the artist bows to the pressure of personal tradition...? Ahh, maybe I need a brain break.
* I rarely finish anything. New ideas pour in, and I can't help but chase them, regardless of what I'm leaving behind. That makes me sound like a flake, doesn't it? Flakey Lake. Ew, that sounds gross. Haha.

#### Gift

* Why are you being so nice to me? I definitely don't deserve this. Well, anyway... Thank you.

#### Poke

* Ahahaha! Noo! I'm ridiculously ticklish. Heeheehee!

Upgrade to Friendzoned

1. I reserve the right to use anything you say or do as inspiration for future creative projects.
2. It’s a compliment! You’re a very interesting person, and I’m grateful to have you as a friend.

### Friendzoned

* Good news! I’ve been working on a new art piece. It’s called “Cow Describing a Suitcase” and it’s made of ink and chewing gum.

#### Chat

* I collect ephemera. Ticket stubs, postcards, people's shopping lists, bits of string, lonely buttons... You get the picture. It's not for any artistic reason, I just find that stuff fascinating.
* Watching paint dry really isn't that bad of a pastime. It gives you time to breathe, to reflect, and to think up great comebacks you'd wish you'd thought of during arguments you had in the past.
* Art is what makes us human. Unless... Do you believe in space aliens? Do you think they make art too?
* Yesterday I ran out of clean brushes, so I used my braid. I spent 3 hours washing the paint out of my hair afterwards, and I just kept thinking... Is this what it means to suffer for your art?
* Careful! I was using glitter earlier. Once it's on you, it never goes away.
* I'm teaching a painting class at the animal shelter later, to help raise funds. Would you come? I need someone to snap me out of it when I inevitably decide I must adopt every single one of those sweet homeless animals.

#### Poke

* Ahahaha! Noo! I'm ridiculously ticklish. Heeheehee!
* Eek! Did Sawyer tell you about my secret ticklish spot? Haha, no fair!

Upgrade to Awkward Besties

1. I was going to ask you to take a selfie with me earlier, but you weren’t around… So I drew this picture of us instead.
2. Full disclosure, I spent way too long stalking your social media for reference photos. You’re really cute, you know that?

### Awkward Besties

* To draw with a broke pencil is pointless.

#### Flirt

* I've been struggling to write my artist's statement. I don't know how to summarize myself or my work. Sometimes I even wonder if the truest statement... Would be not making one at all.
* "The sculpture is already complete within the marble block." Michelangelo. Do you suppose it is like that for humans? Who am I, and who am I becoming? Do I create myself, or do I find myself chipping away at everything I'm not?
* Let's go thrift shopping. I've got the urge to upcycle something.
* I accidentally dipped by paintbrush in my coffee. And took a sip from my dirty paint water cup. Hashtag artist problems.
* I'm teaching a painting class at the animal shelter later, to help raise funds. Would you come? I need someone to snap me out of it when I inevitably decide I must adopt every single one of those sweet homeless animals.
* Yesterday I ran out of clean brushes, so I used my braid. I spent 3 hours washing the paint out of my hair afterwards, and I just kept thinking... Is this what it means to suffer for your art?

#### Poke

* Ahahaha! Noo! I'm ridiculously ticklish. Heeheehee!

* Ah! Another tickle attack? I'll have to start using my palette as a shield. And my paintbrush as a sword. En garde!

#### Date

* What a beautiful starry night that was. Tomorrow, I'll send you a thank you gift. Would you prefer something traditional, like three sunflowers in a vase, or something more theatrical, like a plaster cast of my ear?

Upgrade to Crush

1. Sawyer’s right. You’re incredible. You’re so seeet, funny, charming, good looking, inspiring…
2. I’m starting to feel like I might have to fight her for you. Or learn to share. Heehee!

### Crush

* It’s my friend Cedar’s birthday this week, so I thought I’ decorate some cupcakes to bring over. I can’t believe it’s already been seven years since I planted her… What? There’s nothing wrong with having a tree is a friend, is there?

#### Flirt

* I love the rain. I love the way it morphs the world into something like an impressionist painting. On rainy days, I sit by the window, watching, and it soothes my soul.
* You, me and Sawyer need to hang out sometime. Play truth or dare. We looove that game... And it'd be extra fun to play with our favourite person!
* I'm going to tell you a secret. Sometimes, I take fan art commissions. Of a certain... Risqué nature. You know. Rhymes with corn? It's VERY lucrative. You must take this knowledge to your grave!
* I'd like to recreate Klimt's "The Kiss". Of course, that means I require a partner to pose with me. Would you be willing to... Do that? Kiss me, I mean?
* That color looks great on you. It suits your undertones and really brings out your eyes. Good choice.
* Would you like to... Vincent Van Gogh out with me? That's not actually how you pronounce his name, I was just trying to be cute.

#### Gift

* Oh, it's perfect! You've got this gift giving thing down to a fine art!

#### Poke

* Ahahaha! Noo! I'm ridiculously ticklish. Heeheehee!
* Ah! Another tickle attack? I'll have to start using my palette as a shield. And my paintbrush as a sword. En garde!

#### Date

* We humans are but grains of sand, packed together by the hands of circumstance. I sculpted the layers of this clubhouse sandwich to reflect the complexity of our collective truth... Either that, or I'm just really hungry.

Upgrade to Sweetheart

1. I made something for you. A bouquet of paper flowers. But on my way here, so many people stopped me to admire them that… I just need up giving them all away.
2. I figured it’s what you would have done, so thanks again for the inspiration. We spread a lot of joy today.

### Sweetheart

* Sorry, did you say something? I was distracted by your aura. I’ve been trying to mix a shade of chartreuse like that for weeks now.

#### Flirt

* You, me and Sawyer need to hang out sometime. Play truth or dare. We looove that game... And it'd be extra fun to play with our favourite person!
* Can I have a hug? You give the best hugs. I can feel my stress melting away like a wax crayon under a hair dryer.
* Have you heard of the Michelangelo effect? It's a theory in psychology about how couples "sculpt" each other into their perfect selves over time. I think it's so romantic.
* Would you like to... Vincent Van Gogh out with me? That's not actually how you pronounce his name, I was just trying to be cute.
* I'm going to tell you a secret. Sometimes, I take fan art commissions. Of a certain... Risqué nature. You know. Rhymes with corn? It's VERY lucrative. You must take this knowledge to your grave!
* I've been painting self-portraits lately. I think I'm trying to capture whatever it is you see in me. Look at this one - I painted five of myself draped across the North American landscape, and I call it "The Great Lakes".

#### Gift

* Oh, it's perfect! You've got this gift giving thing down to a fine art!

#### Poke

* Ah! Another tickle attack? I'll have to start using my palette as a shield. And my paintbrush as a sword. En garde!
* Eeee! I can't think straight when you do that! I can't think straight most of the time, but still!

#### Date

* Those views were incredible! Next time, I'm going to bring my portable easel and do some plein air painting. I... Assume there will be a next time, yes?

Upgrade to Girlfriend

1. What are we? No, don’t answer that. Labels can be useful, but also limiting. Unless…
2. Sorry, I seem to be overthinking again. Whatever we are or aren’t, the really important thing is that… We’re happy.

### Girlfriend

* I’ve been drawing all day, and now I’ve got a hand cramp. Do you think you could massage it out for me?

#### Flirt

* I'd like to sit on a café terrace at night with you and talk about the distinction between art and not-art. Followed by a passionate makeout session. Are you in?
* I've been painting self-portraits lately. I think I'm trying to capture whatever it is you see in me. Look at this one - I painted five of myself draped across the North American landscape, and I call it "The Great Lakes".
* Can I have a hug? You give the best hugs. I can feel my stress melting away like a wax crayon under a hair dryer.
* Have you heard of the Michelangelo effect? It's a theory in psychology about how couples "sculpt" each other into their perfect selves over time. I think it's so romantic.
* Mona Lisa's smile has nothing on yours.

#### Gift

* Yes... Yes! THIS is the inspiration I've been looking for! Thank you!

#### Poke

* Eeee! I can't think straight when you do that! I can't think straight most of the time, but still!
* Ah! Another tickle attack? I'll have to start using my palette as a shield. And my paintbrush as a sword. En garde!

#### Date

* Finally, I've found someone who appreciates art house films as much as I do. Or at least tolerates them for my sake. Thank you. I had a lot of fun.

Upgrade to Lover

1. I’m entering my Marshmellow period. This is the time in my life where I’ll paint nothing but portraits of you.
2. Maybe one day, scholars and art historians will study our love through my brush strokes? Heehee

### Lover

* I create... Therefore I am. I think of you... Therefore I'm happy.
* What do you say we paint the town red tonight? And all the other colors, too! I'll bring extra coveralls and a couple of sponge rollers.
* Yellow, there! How's my muse today?
* Ah, there you are. THe brightest star in my orbit.
* Where is the meaning in a brush stroke? Is it in the brush? Or in the stroke? Or somewhere else entirely?
* Are we going to dinner? I'll have to see if I can find something in my closet that doesn't have paint all over it.
* **(Naked)** I believe in radical vulnerability. The less confident I feel in my own skin, the more meaningful it is to lay myself bare.
* **(Naked)** Oh, hey! I was just about to cover my body in paint and roll around on a giant canvas. Want to help?
* **(Naked)** Do you "Lake" what you see? Heehee.

#### Seduce

* I'm so sleepy. I stayed up all night finishing my latest piece. I want to curl up next to you and close my eyes and just drift off. With my head on your shoulder, I feel safe.
* I love people-watching. I used to spend whole days riding around town on the bus, sketching all the interesting people I saw. But right now, I only want to watch you.
* I wish I could inhabit you. See the world through your eyes, understand you on as deep a level as I understand myself. Not that I understand myself. Do you think it's human nature to be confused?
* Spend the day in the studio with me. You can sit and watch me sculpt you. Watch my hands slide over your body, caressing you... Then maybe you can do the same to me.
* You should spend the night at my place. I have a water bed! You'll feel like you're drifting off to sleep on a lake. Next to a Lake. Teehee.
* I've challenged myself to create an ink drawing every day for an entire month. I've got a list of prompts to follow and everything. The first one is "moist." Help me brainstorm?
* How lucky am I that, while combing the beach of life for sea glass and pretty shells, I found a treasure like you.
* The way you look at me, the way you touch me... You make me feel like a priceless work of art.
* My parents never wanted me to be shallow. That's why they named me Lake and not River... Because still waters run deep.
* If you were in charge of picking the eighth wonder of the world, what would you choose? I think I'd choose... You. Only then everyone would want to come see you, and I wouldn't have as much time alone with you, so never mind.
* I woke up incredibly early this morning. I wanted to paint the sunrise, but it was overcast, so I thought I'd paint the clouds instead. Then I realized... I can't paint the clouds. They're too far away. My brush would never reach them.
* I hate wearing t-shirts. They feel so heavy and restrictive. Bare shoulders or bust, that's my philosophy. Oh! I just realized the double meaning there. Heehee.
* Your face is a golden ratio. So is your butt. From head to toe, you are mathematical and artistic perfection.
* There's a new installation at the art gallery this month. I heard the artist is some sort of prince, and his paintings are all of giraffes in formalwear. We HAVE to go see it. I need this more than air!
* I'd like to paint you. On you, I mean. Your body will make a beautiful canvas.
* In my opinion, the human body is art. And yours is a genuine masterpiece.
* You have the best ideas. I really mean that. I'm madly in love with your brain. Also your face. And your body. You're the whole package!
* I thought only sorrow could inspire great works of art. But being around you has made me really happy, and... I'm feeling more inspired than ever!
* I could use a cuddle right about now. I'm covered in paint, though, so I should probably change first. Or just undress completely. Naked cuddles are the best cuddles, after all.
* I believe there is more to life than what we can see with our eyes. Just because there is no concrete proof of ghosts or aliens or unicorns doesn't mean those things don't exist. After all, if they don't exist, then why are there words for them?
* You're so sure of yourself. I bet you do your crossword puzzles with a pen. That would be... Very attractive.
* Would you pose nude for me? I'm not planning to sketch you or anything, I just enjoy looking.
* Paint with me. It'll be a beautiful bonding experience. The work we create together will embody the deepest and truest philosophies of our relationship. And afterwards, we can wash off in the shower together.
* I used to think the sky was the most beautiful work of art to ever exist. Then, I looked at you.
* I'm starting a candid photography project. Pay no attention to the camera. Just go about your business. Maybe work your angles a little. Tilt you butt this way!
* Meeting you is all the proof I need that we don't make mistakes. We just have happy little accidents.
* I thought my dream was dead in the water, but now I feel like I'm floating on air. Thank you for lifting me up when I was at my lowest.
* I don't believe in art for art's sake. But I do believe in kissing for kissing's sake! Now bring those lips over here.
* **(Naked)** Did you know there's edible body paint? At first I thought it'd be a waste to paint a whole masterpiece on your body only to lick it off, but then I thought about it some more and realized that would actually be pretty great.
* **(Naked)** Up for a dip in the Lake? Come on in, the water's fine! Heehee!
* **(Naked)** Surprise! I got us tickets to see an interpretive dance show at the community theater. It's five hours long, but maybe it'll give us some ideas for creativity in the bedroom? Heeheehee.
* **(Naked)** I signed us up for a macrame class! I was thinking we could learn to tie each other up...
* **(Naked)** Hey, it's me! Naked Lake! Does this count as skinny dipping?
* **(Naked)** I feel so close to you right now. Spiritually and emotionally. But I want to feel close to you physically, too. So come on. Get closer.
* **(Naked)** I love the way you look at me. I hope you never stop looking at me like that.
* **(Naked)** I've never felt such an abundance of creative energy! Also sexual energy. I might need to sit and meditate on how the two are linked.
* **(Naked)** I'm very comfortable being nude. It's a very natural and human thing to be. Still, this is for your eyes only. Oh, and maybe Sawyer's. Heehee.
* **(Naked)** I had a lot of fun doing those famous art recreations with you. Maybe I'll do another one... Based on Georgia O'Keeffe's flower paintings? Y'know... Because they look like vaginas? Teeheehee!
* **(Naked)** It's a little cold in here, isn't it? Well, you always know how to inspire me - maybe you can suggest some ways of warming up?

#### Gift

* Don't spoil me too much! I don't want to lose touch with my humble beginnings. Heehee.
* I love it! It's so odd and thoughtful and charming. Just like you.
* Keep it up. You're giving me lots of ideas for future creative projects.
* I once sculpted something very similar to this. It would seem that life does imitate art.

* **[School Uniform]** Sometimes I wonder... Did I subconsciously go to art school solely so I could drop out and thereby consider myself above the artistic establishment? Or am I overthinking what's simply an adorable outfit?
* **[Bathing Suit]** What did the sea say to the sand? Nothing, it just waved. Heehee! Now, will you join me for a swim?
* **[Diamond Ring]** I'm not alway the best with words. I tend to ramble and go off on whimsical tangents. That's why I've decided that my vows will take the form of a mixed-media collage. I can't wait to see your face when you see it at the altar!
* **[Holiday Outfit]** I always loved the phrase "I'll be there with bells on." So here I am, with bells on! Ting-a-ling!
* **[Lingerie]** This outfit has such beautiful sculptural elements. I feel like a work of art!
* **[Birthday Suit]** Heehee... This reminds me of the time I volunteered as a model for a nude figure-drawing class. But better, because this time the only eyes on me are yours.

#### Poke

* Ahahaha! Oh, I'm crying! I haven't laughed this hard in a really long time.
* Heeheehee! You're good at that. You should try finger painting!
* Eeee! I can't think straight when you do that! I can't think straight most of the time, but still!
* **(Naked)** Keep going. Pretend you're a sculptor, and I am your clay.
* **(Naked)** Teehee! Now THAT was a stroke of genius.
* **(Naked)** Ooo, do that again. But this time, do it with a feather.
* **(Naked)** You really know how to get my creative juices flowing. And... Other fluids.
* **(Naked)** Teehee! That's a new way of studying anatomy. Ooo... I'm turning into putty in your hands.

#### Date

* **[Moonlight Stroll]** What a beautiful starry night that was. Tomorrow, I'll send you a thank you gift. Would you prefer something traditional, like three sunflowers in a vase, or something more theatrical, like a plaster cast of my ear?
* **[Movie Theater]** FInally, I've found someone who appreciates art house films as much as I do. Or at least tolerates them for my sake. Thank you. I had a lot of fun.
* **[Sightseeing]** Those views were incredible! Next time, I'm going to bring my portable easel and do some plein air painting. I... Assume there will be a next time, yes?
* **[Beach]** We humans are but grains of sand, packed together by the hands of circumstance. I sculpted the layers of this clubhouse sandwich to reflect the complexity of our collective truth... Either that, or I'm just really hungry.

#### Sex Scene

1. Lake stands before you, her eyes alight with purpose. She takes off her clothes, leaving only her stockings, then kneels on the bed. "Sex, like art, is an act of self-expression. Don't hold back. Show me how you really feel." You dive right in, losing track of time as you're overcome by her sublime beauty and how good every part of her feels.
3. In the aftermath, she reclines on the bed. You think you could probably stare at her forever. "This reminds me..." she says. "Sawyer and I have a running paint-me-like-one-of-your-French-girls joke. It's a shame she's not here now..." Lake winks at you, and you feel your knees go weak. She reaches out for you, and you go to her again.

### Dialogue about Ayano

* That Ayano girl asked me to draw her comic idea. No pay. She said I should be grateful for the "opportunity to grow my portfolio." \*Shudder\*
* That girl over there has red paint all over her! Is she an artist too?
* There was a creepy girl following me around today. I asked if I could paint her, because she has such a uniquely expressionless face, but that seemed to offend her.
* I found a knife stabbed into one of my works-in-progress today. Turns out, that was EXACTLY what the piece needed in order to feel finished! I owe whoever did that a thank you card.
* My intuition tells me to be wary of that girl. Hmm. I bet she's one of those people who looks at a painting and unironically says "I could've done that."

## Trivia

* The "Petty Museum Challenge" is a reference to the Getty Museum Challenge, in which recreations of famous pieces of art are made using items from around the house. The last 2 photos Lake sends you are actually able to apply to this challenge, as she remakes classical pieces of art using stuff she owns; a mirror for The Creation of Lake and octopus plushies for The Dream of Fishing in Lake.
* She has a queer pride pin on her school uniform.
* In her bundle her height is listed as 5’ 4”
* Her voice line "Meeting you is all the proof I need that we don't make mistakes. We just have happy little accidents." is a reference to the famous painter, Bob Ross, who famously said "There are no mistakes, just happy accidents."
* Her voice line "I've challenged myself to create an ink drawing every day for an entire month. I've got a list of prompts to follow and everything. The first one is "moist". Help me brainstorm?" is a reference to 'Inktober' - an online art challenge that many artists participate in every October, where they are challenged to produce one piece of art a day based on a prompt from the list of prompts posted by the official (or unofficial in recent years) Inktober social media accounts.
