let's consider a change of scenery [group vandalism]

[dullshooter]

[On Wednesday morning, everyone will find a note outside their suite door. If you can get past Misfire’s dodgy handwriting, it reads:]


Hey LOSERS!!!

Get down to miracle mile 2DAY, 12PM, for some

VANDALISM

[Note: ‘vandalism’ is written with one of those ‘cool S’s.]

kit will be provided BUT if you have a water gun from the machine bring it!!!

P.S no snitches allowed
JK you can come n be target practice ;)


[At the appointed time, Misfire can be found standing triumphantly in the street. Beside him is a pile of spray cans, brushes, and buckets of paint; by the looks of it, he emptied the whole store. He’s wearing the dress Forrest made him too, and using the pocket space to carry even more stuff on him.

When enough people have gathered, he’ll address them:]

Alright, here’s the deal: it’s come to my attention that some of you have missed out some crucial formative experiences, or otherwise haven’t known the joys of anti-social behavior. And, since writing stuff on walls has been a historical expression of dissent, I think there’s no better time or place to fix that.

[Grinning, he picks up something out of his pile - a water gun filled with purple paint.]

Frankie didn’t outlaw vandalism, so let’s make him realize that egregious oversight. In technical terms - go nuts.

[fuckingguy]

Yes. The hissing paint tube continues to defy me. [ he is physically holding back all the swears he would normally say right now and he's being so brave about it!! ] Have you tried yourself, Mielle?

[bootyhunter]

[OH HE IS SNICKERING NOW-]

Yooooooo! Couldja say that again, big guy?

It sounds hilarious in the, uh, weird voice that you always do.

[Because, unfortunately, guys and ghouls! He can also speak English too!!!! don't make fun of him dandy he's an immigrant smh!!!!!]

[bootyhunter]

[He does happen to have it on, and he's having a blast!

Caught up in the heat of the moment, Dandy is doing even less thinking then usual. He grabs at the hand of Hagakure's holding the paint, and leans in to rub their cheeks together. That is more paint on paint and idiot on idiot acting...

But also an excuse to rub on the scruff a little. Dandy seems to somehow have forgotten that they're in public.

Either that or he just doesn't care- Horrifying.]

[fuckingguy]

I am not doing a voice, okay, Dandy?! This is not like, "park the car in the Hahvard yadd, shrimps on the barbie" shit, I just have an accent and am speaking like anyone else.

[ 2 b clear, nandor's actor may be an impression guy, but he is not! the boston accent and aussie one are basically indistinguishable and completely unhinged! ]

[bootyhunter]

Got it!

[Have a gentle, but very much "head empty, no thoughts," smile tossed your way Nandy...]

Well, everyone can understand you here.

Which means you can speak in your native tongue if you want! So why not give that a try?

[sixthnonsense]

[It's just one ball, thank you very much!!

For what it's worth, Hagakure isn't all that mad to hear this. He of all people knows how derisive fortune-telling is as an art, and it's not for everyone. Dandy specifically not being into it doesn't surprise him. He definitely seems like someone who very much lives in the present.]

No offense taken! S'just that a lot of people like the security of what's to come. Fear of the unknown 'n' all that. And even if you get a bad fortune, you can defy it if y'know it's comin'!

[He glances into the cracked glass of his crystal ball for a moment.]

Luck 'n' fortune are a big thing in Japan especially. Not everyone believes in it, but you can't deny that it's ingrained in the culture. And I've made a real name for myself with my skills- enough to get me named as a rising star in the community!

[buriedstar]

Normally I'd ask if that's part of a spell, but I should be asking if it's part of a song, shouldn't I?

[sastruga]

Nothing's happened, has it?

[...She feels like if Fontaine was going to punish her, he'd get to it right away.]

Besides... it gets a little tiring, being watched like this, doesn't it?

[sastruga]

Aha, that's a fair assumption. But it's neither -- it's one of the principles of my club. This is a little different than archery, but... not that much changes.

[sixthnonsense]

[Unfortunately, we have two idiots with empty heads right now because Hagakure is swiftly caught up in the moment himself. Though he's initially scandalized to have this immediately turned around on him, it quickly dissolves into laughter. His fingers curl around Dandy's hand and he shifts to gently bump their foreheads together.

This is totally just two guys making a mess and being a mess, nothing to see here.]

[bootyhunter]

Oh, trust me! I know.

[Dandy's fingers fumble with the tag on his necklace, presenting for the younger man to see.]

That's why every time I'm in the Andromeda Galaxy, I stop by the Naritasan temple to get my blessings.

[Hagakure will probably notice a familiar set of phrases on the inscription, which is specifically written in Japanese.]

I don't need to know the specifics, I just wanna know I'm gonna get lucky, baby!

Y'know?

[specialyellthing]

[its sort of cute when he gets all quiet and tongue tied around her-- she just grins and keeps ahold of his hand for a while.]

[sixthnonsense]

[A sharp inhale comes from Hagakure as he gently takes hold of the tag to inspect it closely.]

Naritasan's in the Andromeda Galaxy too?! Wow! I haven't been to the one in Japan in years, but it's a big name in Buddhism!

[He never would've imagined... But it's really comforting to know that Earth has made its mark on the universe, and that you're never truly too far from home even in the darkest depths of it.

In regard to Dandy's priorities...he stops examining the tag for a moment to look up and wink at him.]

I don't even hafta use my skills on that one, 'cause I know you did.

[visiblepattern]

There's no saying we can't be adorable while making our point! I thought they might be a nice touch.

[He's so pleased with himself. Cute acts of rebellion! ...That are accidentally really hardcore!]

[visiblepattern]

I don't usually use such language, but I found it suitable for the occasion.

[Just. The daintiest little curtsy. He's on the verge of laughing, this is surprisingly fun all things considered.]

[visiblepattern]

[he appreciates it!]

[specialyellthing]

[She gives Forrest's work a round of applause.]

Classy, and to the point.

[visiblepattern]

[yaaaaaaay zinda approves

That seems to make him happy, and he offers a delicate curtsy in return.]

I did my best. There's nothing saying we have to be crude - although I do see people are having fun with that as well, and who am I to judge.

[This is actually really fun? Like, he can't bring himself to write EAT ASS on a wall but he can see the merit in it.]

[allatonce]

That's the whole point of this, to be irresponsible.

[Zinda is here to be a good teen girl suite influence! Joy is here to be the bad one.]

[allatonce]

I know, it's great! It's a pre-made excuse for absolutely everything.

[dullshooter]

Normally I'd say it takes the necessary edge off, but considering we're being encouraged to kill each other, I'd say it's actually subersive.

[Good job!!]

[visiblepattern]

[He actually claps a little at that, just as an expression of his general hype.]

I mostly restrict my acts of subversiveness to my clothing, but I've found this way to be quite fun indeed.

[god help us, we've awakened something.]

[honeyedtea]

[ Mielle's sort of hovering at his side, looking similarly unsure about all this flagrant rule breaking. It's not that she doesn't understand the impulse to ruin Fontaine's day, but... ]

Am I being overly cautious or is this... a bit risky?

[ COMPLETELY misreading his hesitation. you go girl. ]

[honeyedtea]

I–I suppose it does, but...

[ She looks very visibly torn between not wanting to get in trouble and also not wanting Mafuyu to think she's a total lamer. ]

Do you really think we'll be allowed to get away with something like this?

[sastruga]

...It's okay. We'll just say we got carried away because of Misfire-san.
