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.

Comments

QUESTIONS?

[dullshooter]

I feel like this is as self-explanatory as it gets, but - let's be honest - with this group, I can't write it off. Any questions, shoot.

[honeyedtea]

Th–this isn't the sort of thing we can be punished for, is it?

[ So she isn't going to be a narc about it but she is going to be a square. ]

[sastruga]

If it isn't in the rules, it should be fair game. This seems a little... ill advised, regardless.

[they are all safe from the wrath of fontaine

the wrath of mafuyu, however... it remains to be seen.]

[dullshooter]

[Oh no. The wrath of Mafuyu. He’ll be careful.]

As there’s technically no actual rule against it right at this moment - we can’t be punished for it unless we break it when there is a rule. It’ll be fine.

[Safety in a loophole, surely!]

[honeyedtea]

[ lbr we all know who's scarier ]

I suppose we don't have any reason to assume it would be applied retroactively... but it could still be quite risky.

[sastruga]

We'll just be sure not to do anything too bad, right, Mielle-san?

We can leave that to the others.

[specialyellthing]

[WHERE THE GIRLS GO, their valiant chaperone will also go-- plus she's all about this.]

Now ladies, don't feel scared-- if we're all in on it, and it's not in the rules, we should be fine.

Think of it as a history lesson! This here? One of the oldest forms of rebellion!

[dullshooter]

If you’re that worried, you can just say I peer pressured you into it and I’ll take all the blame and subsequent punishment.

[An offer made out of fear & respect for Mafuyu.]

[sastruga]

Does it really have the same impact if the Mayor doesn't even stay here, though...?

[giddyundertaker]

[ He wasn't planning on vandalism today, but you know what? Sure. He's showing up in a terrible t-shirt and jeans, grabbing some paint and a brush, and proceed to deface the side of the Department Store...

... Wait. Why does it look methodical? Is he seriously attempting to paint random victorian people's portraits? DID HE NOT UNDERSTAND THE ASSIGNMENT? ]

[specialyellthing]

It's not as good as breakin' his window with a misfire brick.

But it's what we got to work with.

[inaclearing]

[Brett feels like he sort of initiated this - yes, he sees that callout there - so of course he comes along! He's wearing a random T-shirt and jeans from the department store, the better not to get anything on the clothes he actually likes.]

Visual art's never really been my thing.

[He comments, while spraypainting...trees? He's putting a lot of trees on the side of the ice cream parlor that faces the patio. They're easy to paint, and obviously have no loaded symbolism whatsoever! He's also idly snacking from a bag of orange candies he got from Smileyface, and will offer them to anyone who approaches!]

[giddyundertaker]

Hee hee... Seems we got the same idea.

[ He's painting people on the department store. Good ol' mural painting. ]

[inaclearing]

I think words might be more traditional, but I'm pretty sure I'd just get obnoxious with it.

[Too verbose! Can't make them look all that visually appealing anyway!

Brett nods at the Undertaker's wall of people.]

Who are they?

sorry 4 this

[bootyhunter]

[Eventually you will catch Dandy blinking at these Victorian murals... In the dumbest voice possible, he blurts out, while pointing a finger-]

Are those Jonathan's parents?

[sastruga]

A shame we don't know where his windows are.

I suppose the closest thing would be the cameras.

[specialyellthing]

Sparkles!

I could kiss ya right now.

[BUT SHE DOESNT--- instead shes off to spraypaint the cameras!]

[pairtner]

Ah...this brings some fond memories.

[There's Aiba! She's flying!

Really, she's flying. She has a helicopter rotor on the top of her head, and there she is, holding a spray paint can while hovering a few feet off the ground]

It's been a while since I got to do anything like this. This may come across as a surprise, but I think there's something fun in some casual destruction.

[Yeah, in Somnia it's pretty common for Aiba to be asked to hit, kick, and/or destroy all kinds of objects...and people. She follows the object destruction commands without any complaint, the people punching gets a cautious remark from her but almost every time she does it, and with surprising enthusiasm.

Aiba shakes the spray paint can with enthusiasm, stops, and just...stares at the wall]

Too bad I can't use this.

[The spray can, she means]

[dullshooter]

Eh, that’s not really the point.

[Misfire produces a spray can from one of his many ruffles and gives it a good shake. He’s glad to see Brett’s here and giving it a shot; this was kind of all for him, anyway.]

How do you feel? Invigorated with the spirit of rebellion?

[dullshooter]

[Misfire wanders over, curious to see what everyone’s working on, and stops at the Undertaker’s mural.]

Not quite what I had in mind, but it’s not lacking for effort.

[Better than he could paint, too.]

First time?

Look what you did.

[giddyundertaker]

... PFFFFFT...

[ Thanks, you made him draw a huge streak on the lady's dress while he's laughing at Dandy. ]

HA HAH HAH! No, wha- HAHAHAHAH!

[ Give him a moment to stop cackling at the thought, would you? ]

[giddyundertaker]

Eh... Perhaps.

[ He doesn't even bother to turn and face Misfire. He just keeps painting... Very impressionistic. He doesn't usually do portrait work, so he's just keeping it simple... Ish. ]

May as well put some effort into it if we're going to be throwing paint at everything.

[bootyhunter]

Sooo... 'S that his cousin then?

[capreelcious]

[ Floyd storms in wearing a mix of his Beans Camo outfit and the beautiful Nick Cage dress. Looks like he's properly dressed for chaos. He grabs a spray can in each hand and holds them up high! ]

VANDALISM~!

[ He's just gonna run around now spray painting things in various shades of blue and red! He's got seemingly endless energy so have fun trying to stop this eel in motion. ]

[giddyundertaker]

[ Shakes his head, still giggly. ]

Hee hee hee... No relation at all. These were old friends of mine, really.

[ You made him laugh hard enough, he'll give you this much. ]
