[Eddie still found the concept of the personal live video feed a bit confusing, so he continued to stick with what he knew for now. Audio all the way.]

Hey, uh- so these datapoint things...? I was just wondering if people could-...I dunno, sell me on the one they like best or...where we need more people or whatever? None of them really seem like a greeeeat fit, but I'm willing to try it out.

Oh, and uh- I asked for spray paint and they gave me a spray bottle and told me to check out the hotel. Does anyone know where I should start with that, or should I just...see what I find?

There was a kind man named Bruno that lived there for a while. He made paints and helped guide the painting of parts of the hotel and Civics Center. There may still be some paints in his room.

[the_freak]

Yeah? ...Which one would that be?

Hey, do uh...do they ever actually give you what you ask for at the box thing? Should I stop trying?

[plate_builder]

And that I would not know. I'm sorry.

As for the box... Never exactly. However it can be made use of more often than the replicator, so it's not a problem to try. It's new materials.

[the_freak]

Okay, so...still general hotel wandering? Least I know there's actually something to find.

Yeah, I guess that's true...

[plate_builder]

Yes, I'm sorry. I have not resided there so I do not know where he was.

[the_freak]

Nah, it's cool. It's confirmation at least. That's something.

[plate_builder]

I wish you luck. Just be careful of it. I don't know how it comes off, if it does.

[the_freak]

What, the paint? I'm not too worried, everything scrubs off eventually.

[plate_builder]

That's not actually true. At some point you're less scrubbing a thing off and more abrading off the thing and the stuff below it. Erosive efforts.

[the_freak]

Really, dude? You're going to be that guy?

[plate_builder]

I'm an architect. Of course.

[the_freak]

I was thinking more about my hands than buildings. I'm not super worried about it coming off of the walls.

[plate_builder]

I can't do much for your hands, sadly.

[quintet]

...I haven't really tried them all but— Wait, you asked for one thing and it gave you the wrong thing?

[Audio]

[the_freak]

Yeah, man. I asked for my vest and got this weird thing, which if anyone wants they can have, I dunno what I'm supposed to do with it. And patches and I got these.

[quintet]

That's bizarre. I've never had it do that, before.

N...not that I've used it all that much.

[crystalmaster]

... So why do you want spray paint?

[Radley can't help but envision graffiti.]

[the_freak]

To uhhh....spray paint? On the walls? [Yeah, he's a smart ass.]

[crystalmaster]

Just randomly, or to make actual pictures?

[the_freak]

I was mostly thinking about decorating my room in the hotel, but uh...you know, where ever the mood strikes ultimately? Perks of living in the post apocalypse?

[crystalmaster]

[Radley still doesn't know what's being thought of as decorations. Actual pictures or just colors he's fine with. Crude statements spray-painted everywhere ... yeah, he wouldn't be a fan of that.]

So you're an artist?

[the_freak]

[Eddie snorts.] Heh, uh-...I guess? Not really. I just fuck around, you know?

[crystalmaster]

Oh, I see. Well, if you do find some spray paint, maybe you could paint something nice to help with restoring the buildings.

[the_freak]

...you said you ran a gang, right?

[Eddie is wondering if he's got a very wrong idea about gangs.]

[crystalmaster]

A motorcycle gang, yes. But we don't go ripping up towns and terrorizing people. Actually, we were trying to stop our rivals from terrorizing everyone.

[They mostly look tough to try to intimidate their rivals.]

[the_freak]

Heh. You're a bit of a freak, you know that?

[crystalmaster]

[Radley just giggles.]

Oh?

[But then he sobers.]

I have another reason for not wanting things to get graffitied up, though. We're here because we're supposed to fix the place up. If it's made to look even more rundown, we might have extra work. I'm not a fan of that.

[But the way things went, who knew, maybe the Agrii would actually like the graffiti and want it everywhere. Oh, the irony.]

[the_freak]

Mmhmm.

[Eddie's tone suggests it's not necessarily an insult at least.]

I mean, I wasn't necessarily going to cover the place in 6 foot dicks or anything. Though that is pretty tempting...

[crystalmaster]

[Radley finds that interesting.]

So, what were you thinking of?

[Actual, pleasant art would be nice....]

[the_freak]

Mostly just decorating my own space for starters, make it a little more...me. But uh...I dunno. Mostly just made backdrops for our band, I never really did like...art or anything.

[crystalmaster]

Backdrops sound pretty cool. Some of those look like they'd take a lot of work to make.

[the_freak]

I just did our name, nothing super complicated.

[crystalmaster]

Oh, I don't know. I've seen some highly impressive letter art. What is your band's name anyway?

[the_freak]

Corroded Coffin.

[crystalmaster]

[Well, it's not as weird as he thought it might be. As a music lover, he's heard a lot of strange ones.]

Is that heavy metal?
