003 [action]

[tomodachi]

[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?]

Did you even think for a second that you coulda' gotten hurt? What if you fell off?

[And even if he survived the fall, who would be there to care for him?]

[tomodachi]

I would just get back up again, like always! [In fact Seto was there when he fell off the ferris wheel back then, he could testify on our behalf.]

[foundafamily]

After fallin' from the top of a ferris wheel?

[He's incredulous; even Crow can't be that delusional.]

That'd have to be a pretty short one, you know. You're not immortal.

[He feels weird saying that like it's common knowledge when he himself is immortal. But he is pretty sure that Crow isn't one.]

[tomodachi]

[...Crow just shrugs at that.]

Maybe, maybe not, but I'd still get back up anyway.

[foundafamily]

With broken bones? Or, you know, dead? I doubt it.

[Frustrated, he looks away from Crow to keep studying the drawings.]

[tomodachi]

Doubt all you like, but it's the truth.

[...For once, he actually is being truthful. But as for the drawings, in addition to the ferris wheel, there's a couple of black birds he drew as well (take a wild guess what kind of bird they're supposed to be), and...what appears to be himself and Seto so far.]

[foundafamily]

I'll doubt it until you start makin' sense.

[He taps the drawing of the two people.]

Is that you two?

[He doesn't think he has to specify who he means; he knows Crow and Seto are really close.]

[tomodachi]

[Crow nods, grinning now.]

Yeah, that's me and Seto. ["Seto and I", actually, but since when has Crow cared about being grammatically correct.] What do you think?

[Crow may not be the world's greatest artist, but as childish as the drawings are, at least it sort of looks like them. The Crow and Seto in the drawing appear to be happy, standing right next to each other, close enough to be practically holding hands.]

[foundafamily]

[The quality of the picture doesn't matter to Firo as much as what it depicts. He may not get along with Crow often, but he has to respect that the kid does seem to care for Seto.

The fact that their hands could almost be touching escapes him, which is probably a good thing, given his feelings on touching.]

...It's nice. Has he seen it? I bet he'd love it.

[tomodachi]

Of course he would--I drew it, after all. [Or well Seto would like it regardless of who draws what of him, but since it was our drawing of our best friend, he does feel a little entitled to believe that Seto would really like it.]

[foundafamily]

Good thing you're so modest.

[He rolls his eyes, almost regretting the compliment.]

I was talkin' more about how it's nice that you'd draw you two together--it doesn't matter that the "great Crow" drew it, it's that his friend Crow did.

[Get off that soap box, Firo; no one wants to hear you preach.]

[tomodachi]

Y--yeah, that's what I meant! [Mostly!] Seto and I are best friends, so of course I would want to draw stuff like this that he'd like.

[foundafamily]

[He smiles.]

That's better.

...So, wait, did you draw this for him?

[tomodachi]

[he shrugs] Yeah, why not? I felt like drawing stuff like this today, and I figured that Seto would probably like it when he saw it later.

[foundafamily]

[He shakes his head, sighing with exaggerated disappointment. It's actually pretty touching what Crow did for their friend, but he needs to keep up appearances.]

I suppose that means I can't try and make you wash it off just yet.

[tomodachi]

Huh? Why would I wanna wash it off? [He wants it to be here as long as he wants it here, okay.]

[foundafamily]

Because I'd tell you to. You don't think I'd go through the trouble of cleanin' up after you, do you?

[As if Crow would ever listen to anything Firo told him to do.]

[tomodachi]

No, but I don't want to remove it, which means you're not allowed to wash it off either.

[If you remove his great drawings Firo he is going to be very unhappy with you. >:|]

[foundafamily]

If you're gonna get upset about somebody takin' it off, you shoulda' thought about that before you put it on the house, huh?

[After a beat, he adds petulantly:]

And you can't tell me what to do.

[tomodachi]

[Crow glares a little now.]

You better not wash it off--it's my drawing, so I can have it wherever I want. [If he wants it on the side of their house, then he should be allowed to since he lives here as well.]

[foundafamily]

Relax, I just told you I wasn't gonna do anything about it yet.

But, you know, since it's yours, cleanin' it up is your responsibility.

[tomodachi]

Fine, but only when I feel like cleaning it up later.

[In other words watch us leave it here forever until Luceti gets rid of it or something.]

[foundafamily]

[He shakes his head, sighing.]

You're hopeless...

At least it's just ours, I guess.

[Or is it?]

[tomodachi]

[IT'S A MYSTERY--well, only as long as Crow doesn't let slip that he was drawing on some other houses earlier.

Crow turns his attention back to his drawings now, looking at them for a moment. He's trying to decide if he wants to add anything else up onto the wall...]

[foundafamily]

[Firo watches Crow, debating whether to throw in the towel and go back inside. He decides to stick around; oddly enough, he'd rather hang out and bicker with Crow than be by himself right now.]

What else could you do to that poor wall?
