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.

That was lengthier than I was expecting it to be...

[ Oh, the most evil of psychic assaults – a teenager privately thinking that you're a bit of a dweeb. ]

You kept the paint very steady, though...!

[howveryglib]

[OOF....]

...

...

I am not that longwinded...

[several unskippable cutscenes would imply otherwise]

[honeyedtea]

Oh, of course not!

[ SOMEHOW, THE TANGIBLE PITY IS JUST MAKING IT WORSE?? ]

But the impression I've been getting is that messages of this sort are supposed to be a bit more... to the point?

[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.

[honeyedtea]

Is alcohol truly that much of a priority in a situation like this?

[ Asked in all apparent sincerity. She's never had anything stronger than fruit juice, which is probably not a surprise. ]

[howveryglib]

[...he ponders it a bit.]

In moderation, it can help with nerves, but it is very easy to go overboard and make things worse. So perhaps it is for the best that we do not have easy access to it, but at the same time... I do miss the occasional moderate consumption of spirits that do not taste like ditchwater.

[honeyedtea]

[ She smiles wryly. ]

We certainly do have our share of nerves to manage. ... really, I'm quite shocked that we're holding together as a group even as well as we are.

[ yes, even accounting for all the murder ]

[howveryglib]

Indeed. I do think that... despite everything, we do have quite the strong group. Even though the odds are certainly against us and the intent is to divide us, I think the majority of us are interested in as many of us getting out of here as possible.

[honeyedtea]

Mm. Hopefully without resorting to any... extreme measures.

[ canned week 5 hindsight laughter ]

[howveryglib]

Hopefully, yes.

...

I will... attempt to stop anything that gets out of hand.
