...All right, I understand now that I've calmed down. If I consider that remark a pathetic attempt at a pun rather than sexual harassment, I can let it pass.

So what's the deal with this brush, anyhow? Is it a familiar or somethin'? Does it get its sense of humor from its creator?

If I might interject, yes, I think that's almost certainly what it is. Maybe it developed a sense of camaraderie thanks to its advanced conversation capabilities.

Van Gogh Cutter, can you tell us more about yourself? What can you do? Do you help with painting or something?

I'm sorry, but this is kind of urgent, so are you going to help or not? If you are, I can give you some nice bonuses, and if you aren't, I can think of some nasty penalties, too.

Well, as I see it, I'd put good money on that brush being a virtual recreation of the historical Vincent van Gogh's personality.

@Da Vinci
Meaning he's temperamental, prouder than Mont Blanc is tall, capricious, a sophist, and too witty for his own good.
He's also a solitary of exceptional intelligence and sensitivity, particularly in how he saw the world and humanity...and one who managed to capture beauty that no one had ever seen before on canvas.
