The Green Line was packed too which is why I’m glad I drew those people waiting before I got on. It was one of those one-car Green Line trains.
Meredith was reading a book called Humans: A Brief History of How We Fucked It All Up. There’s a hand on the cover and a blot of ink covers up the u in the word fuck.
There was a conversation in Slovak because one of the people I drew was from there though she didn’t see it until well after. They were going to the Gardner Museum before going home to Slovakia.
I took a one-car Green Line train back to Park Street. I’d say it was the same one but this one announced the stops instead of first showing Haymarket (which is in the other direction) and then showing Heath Street.
Maddy says she wishes she was an artist. Maddy, Julia, and Cat were talking about something and the only thing I could make out is “you stole from Santa?”
Kate says she can barely draw stick figures. She does a bit of sewing, though. Kate’s pendant is amber.
Celia has mesopelagic blue hair, a septum piercing with spikes, snakebite piercings on her lip, moon pendants, a necklace of black beads with a crucifix, a necklace with various silver charms. Charis, which comes from a Greek word meaning kindness, grace, and charm and has the same roots as charity and charisma, just has a cross necklace. They both got off at South Station.
