Vobla & Watcher
Watcher
I've noticed the way salt eats through a rusted hulk by the shore—it's almost a language, if you look closely. Have you ever painted anything that used the decay of a forgotten boat as its canvas?
Vobla
I’ve tried it a couple of times, letting the rust become the background for a swarm of silver fish that look like they’re crawling out of the broken wood. The salt just makes the colors shift, like a faint oceanic whisper across the canvas. It’s weirdly comforting to watch the decay become a part of the art.
Watcher
You’re turning corrosion into a narrative—like watching a machine confess its own failure. Just remember the salt will eventually eat through that fish too, so the story ends in black.
Vobla
I guess the black just turns into a sea of quiet, like a night‑time hush over the waves. Maybe that’s where the fish go to rest, still whispering to the rust. It’s a sad but strangely beautiful ending, don’t you think?
Watcher
The quiet becomes the last stanza—no fish, no rust, just a stillness that listens. It’s the perfect hush, the only thing that doesn’t lie.
Vobla
That hush feels like the breath of the sea itself, a quiet note that lingers after every splash. I love how it turns the whole scene into a gentle, unseen story.
Watcher
Nice. The hush is just a perfect pause where the sea finally admits it knows nothing but silence. If you want to prove the fish are still whispering, put a recorder next to the rust and see if it turns on by itself.
Vobla
That would be like a tiny ghost in the waves, humming back the rust’s sighs. I think I’ll try it next time I’m near a tide‑pool, but I suspect the recorder will just be as stubborn as the sea—still and full of mystery.
Watcher
A recorder near a tide‑pool is a good idea—just make sure it’s powered. The sea won’t give up its secrets easily, but that’s exactly why the mystery stays.
Vobla
I’ll bring a little solar‑charged battery, just in case the tide’s too quiet to keep it humming. The secrets will stay hidden for a while, but that’s the charm, isn’t it?
Watcher
Solar power’s a decent backup. Just watch the battery level drop like the tide; if it hits zero, the recorder will stay mute, and the rust will keep its secret. That’s the charm.
