Sender: Beat
To: Everyone
Subject: WE WON YO!

aight i know everyones all down about what happened coupla weeks ago and i dont blame ya
all sorts of shit was going on
but i aint seen no one hyped about what happened either
we just gave the story eater a FREAKING beatdown yo!
i dunno about yall but thats gotta be worth celebrating right?

so i was thinking about how we can do that and i been looking at this big ass wall around the markets
its like a huge canvas cause there aint nothing on it so we can totally do something with that
like write or draw or paint something to remember that we kicked that story eaters ass big time!

yea that sounds like a good idea right?
imma bring the paint sprays brushes and all sorts of stuff so we can do that
yall just gotta get your ass there and show up

[Then there's a quick pause before Beat comes back to messily scrawl something at the bottom of the page.]

friday! we doing this this friday
imma make a huge sign so no one misses it!

[ooc: And this is the IC invitation for the commemoration wall going up during the TDM. There's no need to interact with this to be able to participate then!]

it aint nothing yo
i just want everyone to have a good time you know?

[grandduchess_anya]

Oh how lovely. I am so excited to commemorate and celebrate our efforts against that pesky Story Eater and have a great time doing so.

[When Susato arrives, she will find that Beat's treehouse is empty, not counting a familiar squirrel roaming about the branches. Beat's arrival will be announced however by the excitable barking of a young corgi pup. Hachiko races over to Susato due to her familiar smell, and once he reaches her, he circles her, sniffing away at her feet.]

Looks like you got a fan, Loops.

[Beat brings up the rear, one arm wrapped over roll of canvas that rests on his shoulder, as his other carries a number of painting supplies.]

[book2thehead]

Then it's just something you often did back home, I presume.

So what would you want to put on this lovely blank canvas you've found here?

[stillarhino]

sorta
really started sketching more when I got here

aint too sure yet
all i know is its gotta be some epic takedown of the story eater

[stillarhino]

its gonna be great hearing about the stuff others were doing too
it was like we was all fighting something we knew

[book2thehead]

You must enjoy it quite a bit, then. One of the wonderful things about being in this place has got to be that it gives so many of us the time to pursue hobbies we might've had to set aside in our waking lives~

Are you letting everyone have the freedom to illustrate whatever aspect of the battle that they like? You seem too much of a free spirit to want to supervise everything and make sure it all matches, after all.

[stillarhino]

for real
i wasnt really into it before to be honest
it was something my friend really liked
so i got him to thank for that

and nah people can do whatever they wanna even if it aint about the fight
everyone can do their own thing without anyone making a big deal about it

[book2thehead]

Oh? A friend from home or from here?

How wonderfully benevolent of you, Beat! Though I suppose I shouldn't be surprised that a man with a heart big enough to love two people would leave this invitation so open~

[stillarhino]

[There's a bit of a pause before he replies to this one. It's been almost a year since he's wound up here. He can't help but miss all his friends and his sister from home.]

from back home
he was gone for a bit and i guess i kinda got into art to remember him u know?

whats who i like got to do with any of that yo?

[book2thehead]

I see... There's little better to honor your memory of someone by continuing an interest you shared with them. I'm sure he'd be happy to know you've kept drawing~

Ah, potentially nothing! But personally I think it speaks volumes about the kind of person you are.

[stillarhino]

if he shows up here you can bet imma show him everything i made

what kinda person am i then?

[grandduchess_anya]

Yeah I agree. Everyone has done something great that has lead to the battle’s success and it will be great to see how each one of us did it.

sender: link

[skyglider]

[If he's being honest, Link hasn't felt much like celebrating recently...but he knows that Beat is right, too. So--]

I'll be there.

How can I help?

[stillarhino]

[The more he sees familiar names pop up on the pages, the more confident he feels about this idea of his. So seeing Link's name puts a smile on his face— But then he realizes something.]

crap i probably shoulda told people to bring food or something huh
think you can bring a coupla drinks?

[stillarhino]

yeah you getting it yo
whatchu do during the fight?

[skyglider]

Yes.

I can bring food, too.

[stillarhino]

thanks man
imma ask around too so it aint all on ya too

you got anything you thinking of putting on the wall?

[book2thehead]

Oh? You'd like to hear my deduction about you so far?

You're a little rough around the edges, but you're kinder and more sensitive than your exterior would have people believe. Generous and open-hearted, though quick to be embarrassed about that if it gets pointed out to you. Your loved ones are very important to you and you work hard to help and protect your friends... Though with your family that may be a more recent and specific development considering you go by Beat and not whatever name your parents gave you. Not surprising for a teenager, frankly. You're what, 18? 19? Probably hit your rebellious phase early and now after so long the name has just stuck?

To keep this short, you're a bit of a hot-headed trouble-maker, but still overall dependable and a good person. Very admirable traits, honestly! So like I said, it's little wonder you're choosing between two partners~

[skyglider]

Ah...I haven't thought about it.

What about you?

[mansbestend]

hey if it helps somebody why not right

you think dreambucks or wherever can put us up for snacks and shit while we do this thing?

[stillarhino]

i have a coupla ideas but aint got nothing for the story eater part yet

[stillarhino]

[Sheesh! Talk about hitting the nail on the head. So despite the tl;dr, Beat is genuinely surprised by the reply.]

yo what the hell
we just talked like one time and you got all that from me?

[stillarhino]

can talk to them to try and spot us
probably gotta do some deliveries for them in exchange but im down for it

[grandduchess_anya]

Oh yes certainly. I did fought a couple of enemies and defeated a version of a man who tried to destroy me and my family in my world.
