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.

Yes, of course. Granted, I feel as though we should probably remotely detonate the place regardless in order to avoid drowning...

[howveryglib]

...true, but it is a valid complaint. I am certain he is... wherever he is drinking the finest of wines while we must subsist on the swill from the vending machines.

[howveryglib]

Fair enough. So long as you are painting something on the walls, it fits the letter of the idea, at least.

[giddyundertaker]

Ah...

[ He shakes his head. ]

My world's a bit different. Though many would like to deny it, it seems much of England is obsessed over their mortality. So much effort goes into funerals and mourning...

[giddyundertaker]

[ ... Smirk. ]

Who would have thought indeed.

[ He will go back to painting his friends here... Which includes what looks to be a child near the Phantomhive couple. Too early to tell which gender. ]

I used to have a chain of lockets I wore wherever I went, but I'd just lost it before coming here...

[giddyundertaker]

Exactly!

[buriedstar]

[ Hold that thought. He's going to walk off and grab a spray can to draw his best impression of the following on the wall: ]

🤑

[pairtner]

This would be more effective if we could leave our mark in the Mayor's office.

[Alas, one can dream]

[pairtner]

It's not for nothing I'm a miracle of technology.

[Preen more, Aiba, why don't you, hah]

I would offer you blueprints of my workings...if your world has the capacity to create a machine such as myself.

[Apparently she's feeling generous, yup]

Hah, she sure feels tempted to

[pairtner]

Are you trying to make me upset?

[As if it was incredibly obvious. It isn't, Aiba]

[pairtner]

I require inspiration. What will you paint, Brett? Abstract or grunge?

[Aiba, you can't just ask 'abstract or grunge', it's graffitti, not the Sistine Chapel]

[howveryglib]

I am not entirely certain we could manage at present, but I find myself doubting that fact would discourage the individuals I am thinking of. They would likely find the challenge extremely exciting, if anything.

[pairtner]

[Oh, yes, here she goes!

By the time Undertaker returns, he'll find Aiba has written graffiti in Japanese characters. It's far easier to write kanji with a brush than it is to write rounded letters with it, she figured out.

'NEW RAPTURE CITY IS A TERRIBLE PLACE TO LIVE'

...she tried]

[pairtner]

Is that so? It's probable nobody will reach the brilliance of my design, but if something good can come from anything like me existing, I would...be willing to give some details.

[Oh yeah, definitely in a good mood. Casual destruction must really be something that makes her giddy, haha]

[inaclearing]

...if those are the categories...

[WHY ARE THOSE THE TWO OPTIONS]

I guess abstract? I'm not sure I can pull off grunge.

[inaclearing]

I don't know if it's still like that over there or not. I've never left America.

[Probably not, he suspects? But like, what does he really know.]

[howveryglib]

…

I cannot tell if Nero would be fond of your personality or if he would be more likely to lock horns with you…

[pairtner]

Then abstract it will be. Perhaps it will serve to disguise my...lack of artistic talent.

[She's totally going to make a mess, point at it, say 'it's abstract' and then avoid all questions about what exactly it represents, haha]

[pairtner]

My personality is better than a few other AI-Balls I'm aware of. I know of one who is as painfully perverted as Dandy is.

[Thanks, -nirvanA Initiative-]

[inaclearing]

They say that's what abstract art is for.

[Brett's enough of an artist, if not a visual one, to figure that's not really fair...but also who cares really, anything is art.]

[howveryglib]

…

As much as I do not wish for anyone to be in our present situation… I must admit, I am glad there are not two of them.

[tama: hey we’re really wet… down there…]

[dullshooter]

Come on, you’ve had a lifetime to build a repertoire of eel puns. That’s the best you’ve got?

[dullshooter]

Worth a try! I mean, who else is it gonna be? The message sells itself.

[dullshooter]

…That answer’s not as disappointing as I’d thought it would be.

[They’re so silly in an over the top badass kind of way that a whole army using them is a delight.]

And are they a common weapon of choice for angry little bird-things…?

[vholran]

Such as 'weakling' and 'pathetic fool'?

[ Those are his ideas, apparently... ]
