Okay...so I think we can all agree that the people here are pretty...grumpy, to put it nicely. And to be honest, I can't say I really blame them, but I tend to get a little nervous when people give me the kind of looks that the town folks have been giving us on the regular.

I think I might've found something that could help, though. You've probably noticed that the people here really like color. Kinda hard not to see it; there are paintings everywhere, people sporting all kinds of crazy clothes and body art. And no one really minds if you put up some art on any available wall. I've kinda been doing a lot of it since we got here, and while it hasn't exactly gotten people to warm up to me - yet - I do get far less dirty looks for just being around.

So that might be a good place to start? Decorating houses, or workplaces, or whatever so that we blend in a bit more - or stand out, I guess. Maybe it'll get the people around here to lighten up a little more around us? At the very least, they might like seeing more art out there.

And I'd be happy to help out if anyone needs it. This is kinda my thing.

[ It's quite a bit of time before a reply comes in. ]

...maybe?

[menarebrave]

It sounds like you're asking for permission to tag houses, Miles.

[idontgetpaid]

I wouldn't say that *exactly*.

Mostly because I might've...already tagged a few houses.

[ So less "asking for permission" and more "heads up". ]

Speaking of, are you home right now?

[menarebrave]

Well, at least you announced that you are.

I am. Not that you could tell the building as you normally would. All the windows were blown out.

[idontgetpaid]

Yeah. [ He's noticed. ]

Maybe uh...don't come outside for a bit? Couple hours.

No reason, just saying.

[menarebrave]

Miles.

[ Can you hear that Dad Tone through the phone? ]

[idontgetpaid]

[ He totally can and it's not fair. ]

Look I'll clean it all up, I promise!

[menarebrave]

You plan on cleaning up spray paint in a desert environment? I imagine it's hard enough to paint with it.

[idontgetpaid]

Yeah it hasn't been easy. Maybe I'll just paint over it.

[menarebrave]

I'm guessing there's not a word for when a street artist paints over his old work. A redo, maybe?

[idontgetpaid]

Oh, there's a word for it.

Disappointing.

[ But it's fine, he did do it without asking so he'll fix it. ]

[menarebrave]

Is that a word you use a lot?

[ Time to commission him to do an actual painting with permission! ]

[idontgetpaid]

I try not to use it too often.

[ But having to cover up all his hard work? What else would he use? ]
