Strategy: Get Arts
You see an artist has set up a studio in this region of the Palindome - he has several pots of paint, some brushes, and a camera to take pictures of his finished work. He spots you and shows you a few of his polaroids: apparently, he's painting people's hands to look like animal appendages. "Swap for I a pair of paws?" he asks.
"Mirth, sir, a gay asset? No, don't essay a garish trim," you reply.
He points at his camera, which looks rugged and manly. "Oh, cameras are macho," he says.
You sniff in disdain and gesture at how awesome you already look. "Swap god for a janitor? Rot in a jar of dog paws," you huff.
"See, slave, I demonstrate yet arts no medieval sees," he replies, then shrugs dismissively. "So remain a mere man. I am Eros."
You relent and offer up your hands. "Draw, o coward!" you say.
He paints your hands to look like paws, but uses a color that seems sort of spooky and corrupt. "Egad, a base tone denotes a bad age!" you say.
He shrugs. "Pupils slip up," he says.
