[Good afternoon Luceti, how are you? Do you like having nice, clean buildings or houses that don't have childish graffiti drawn on the sides? Well too bad because today, you may find Crow writing or drawing things on the sides of different buildings, whether it's a shop, one of the community housing buildings, or heck maybe even your house, once he thinks he's used up the sides of his own house. (Sorry, Seto and Firo...)

He's bored and this is something he likes doing...but he's not entirely aware of how much this might bother the people who own whichever building he's using as a canvas. (Not like it matters, it'll go away like how damage to most buildings do here, right?) They range from words, to drawings of birds, ferris wheels (it's been a year since he arrived, he's feeling a little nostalgic for home), or even people. Mostly either people he knows, or...pirates. Why not, today felt like a good day for drawing pirates with their ships and treasure and stuff. However, they are not exactly masterpieces, and he's not exactly using just paint (more like that and crayons or markers or whatever else he got his hands on), but at least he tries and that's what matters!

He'll be at this all day, so you can catch him drawing stuff at any time, anywhere. Feel like telling him to go away, or are you the deviant sort that wants to join in and draw some stuff too?]

[See this look? He doesn't believe you for a second, Vash. But the question distracts him enough for a subject change as he's trying to wring some of the water out of his sleeves.]

I'm trying to draw pirates and stuff. [You know, like their ships and treasure too.]

Pirate stuff, huh? What kinda of pirate stuff?

You know, like the pirates that have their ships and treasures and stuff. [Is there any other type of pirate than that?] Haven't you ever seen one before?

I've seen pirates in Luceti, but I guess I never thought about drawing them on the side of the building.

Are you drawing anyone from Luceti?

...Not yet. [He's seen one or two people here that certainly look like pirates, but he hasn't tried speaking to them yet. For now though, he sticks with drawing one he saw in a book a long while ago first.] Don't know who I would want to draw first outta the people here.

Have you seen the guy with the dreadlocks? He's vain enough that he'd probably love it if someone drew him.

"Dreadlocks"? [We're not up to date on what hairstyles are called, you may have to be a little more specific.]

Hmm, how to put it. It's well, his hair is long and kind of ropy looking. Trust me, he's the kind of face if you saw him you'd never forget it.

...Oh, I think I know who you're talking about! [He doesn't know his name, but now he thinks he recalls seeing a pirate with hair like that. Crow thinks about it for a second before he then starts drawing again on the side of the building, probably to try drawing the guy in question.]

[Vash watches a couple moments as Crow draws. Eventually pushing himself away from the window and walking down stairs. He turns the corner to inspect the drawing.]

[When Vash goes to look, he'll see...well, Crow's not the most amazing artist ever, but at least it sort of looks like that Jack Sparrow guy? When Crow notices Vash, he then points to his drawing.]

This was the pirate you were talking about, right?

Yeah! That's him! [Vash has never been a very good drawer by any stretch of the imagination. So long as he can tell it's Jack he thinks it's good.] You're not too bad at drawing on walls!

[Heh] Thanks! It's pretty easy though, once you get the hang of it...

[This is just the first time that he's tried drawing on buildings other than his own here, like when he used to do this sort of thing on abandoned buildings back at home.]

So, do people usually draw on walls where you're from? My planet tended to call it graffiti.

"Graffiti"? [huh] ...I've seen a couple of really old stuff other people wrote on a wall or two once, but some of it was kind of weird. [Though occasionally some messages were somewhere between creepy or depressing, considering what happened back in his world.] ...but I like writing and drawing cool stuff on buildings. It's fun and that's what matters!

Heh, well, I don't mind as long as it's cool and fun stuff. Although, some people might not like it so be careful who's house you go drawing on, alright?

Why? Shouldn't people like having their houses and stuff look less boring?

You'd think that, but some people like their house to look like all the others. [Vash shrugs.] I myself like a bit of color in my life.

That makes two of us. [Still doesn't get why people would want boring plain-looking houses, but at least this guy seems alright.] So, who are you anyway?

Me? My name's Vash! And if you couldn't guess I live just a few floors up in this building. So what's the great artist's name?

[he grins, adopting a proud stance]

You can call me Crow! C-R-O-W! [not assuming you can't spell it, he's just...really enthusiastic when it comes to sharing his totally cool name]

Well, it's nice to meet an artists such as yourself Crow!

Sorry for dropping a bunch of water on you earlier. It was just such an easy target I couldn't resist.

[Not that he's really all that sorry.]

So you did do it on purpose. [...But he doesn't seem as mad as before as he then shrugs.] ...Well I guess I gotta hand it to you there, that would be a pretty good prank to do if given the chance.

[As long as it's not him that's the victim of said prank, that is.]

Heh! Thanks! It's not every day I get someone drawing on the walls right below my window!

What about you? Do you ever draw stuff?
