-Ryuji accepts this mission and attempts to track David down and obtain an audience with him. His goal is, originally, to try and distract him and convince him to paint something that will delay him from making political statements long enough to put the timeline back in order. -David will not take Ryuji as an audience since he has no political clout or specific talent that makes him worthy of having a meeting with -Achilles will offer a plan on the side, and tells Ryuji to wait on the roof of David's domicile later that night -Achilles phases through the walls and abducts David, meeting Ryuji on the roof with him. He dangles David over the edge and attempts an intimidation check -Ryuji will get VERY NERVOUS that Achilles is going to actually throw him off and try to intervene -David will be inspired by how passionate Ryuji is and the conflict will de-escalate. -QUESTIONABLE OUTCOME: David will go on to paint "The Intervention of the Sabine Women," something he was supposed to do while in exile, but pushed back a few years due to the night on the roof. He will delay his involvement in the National Convention until this work is complete.
Bonus things we'd like to work in:
-As much as a political activist and chartered conoisseur of the ills of the day, David is a very avid painter of Ancient Grecian scenes. He's been known for a few works that depict Achilles, and in particular, Patroclus. We'd like to explore some of that thematic concept as well in between the mix: either through the initial infiltration of his house by Achilles, or throughout the de-escalation of events that follow -Ryuji's never read the Illiad, so, that would be an interesting breadcrumb trail for him to follow (as he doesn't actually know the true identity of Achilles in general) -BONUS QUESTION: Wikipedia states that one of his works, The Funeral Games of Patroclus, had debuted in Rome in 1778 but was then subsequently lost until 1972, where it popped up in Ireland. It's a picture showing the funeral games proceeding the deathof Patroclus during the Trojan War. We'd like to know if David could have kept the painting in secret at his house, only to be sold off at some later point in his life at his time of exile. Mostly because this painting would mean an awful lot to Achilles, of course
Also lol this random dorito has green hair he can't? possibly be Achilles
