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!]

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

[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?

[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~

[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?

[book2thehead]

[Ehe~ ♡]

I guess you could say I'm the observant sort~

[stillarhino]

obsirvent my ass!
you sure no one ratted me out on ya or something?

[book2thehead]

Oh? And who do you think would have ratted you out to me? Why would someone want to do that?

[stillarhino]

i dunno yo
thats why im asking ya

[book2thehead]

As far as I can tell, the only mutual acquaintance we may have would be Sora. And he doesn't strike me as the type to expose a friend's secrets to someone he's only met recently! I promise you, no one's told me a thing. This is just what I do for a living~

[stillarhino]

whatchu do for a living
...you a defective or something?

[Yeah, he's just going to keep jumping to conclusions...]

[book2thehead]

I believe you mean "detective"... But yes, as a matter of fact!

Does that bother you~?

he is not very clever :D

[stillarhino]

you are?
i mean nah not really but guess that splains why you helluva lot man

bless <3 what a good boyo

[book2thehead]

I am indeed! I like to think I'm quite good at it, too~

Hehe~ I'll take that as a compliment, my dear Beat!

pretend I didn't miss out on a word

[stillarhino]

yeah sure but dont go calling me dear yo
thats just weird

and dont go tellin others about the crap you just said about me either!

[Beat... The journals are public.]

i saw nothing :3

[book2thehead]

Oh? Do you reserve that for your partners~?

[... Beat. Please.

But y'know what--]

My lips are sealed!

[stillarhino]

it aint that yo!

...its like ya said
that shits embarrassing
so i preciate keeping it on the dl aight

[book2thehead]

The "dl"? What does that mean?

[stillarhino]

downlow
mean you keep it between the two of us

[book2thehead]

I see!

[You modern world kids and your fancy shmancy lingo. BACK IN OUR DAY--]

Well, your secret is perfectly safe with me, Beat~

[stillarhino]
