Warnings: None for now, will add if needed

[There's a large black blotch that appears on the page, growing as time passes before Beat's messy scrawl begins to appear on the page.]
if you was gonna be gone tomorrow whats something you wanna be remembered for
like whatchu want the people whos still around to remember
if its a thing or a symbol or something ya do
dont matter what it is
whats that thing?
💀 ii. fresh coat of paint
[In the hours and days following Beat's message on the journals, he constantly finds himself standing in front of the memorial wall made after the fall of the Story Eater almost a year ago. Most of the graffiti and paintings depict people who were present facing off against a tall towering creature. Some depict the town of Reverein itself, others on what seems to be people on the moon that hangs in the sky.
Other pieces of art on the wall have no rhyme or reason, but many respect the space of those painted before, a collage of styles and personalities of all those who've lived in the village. Important details were not painted over and many left pieces to be continued by the next artist.
Beat had been doing just that, adding to some art of a bush with differing flowers on it: chamomile, roses, and yellow lilies. If you happen upon him, he may be in the middle of adding a few new pieces. It may be a tree with veins that glow a bright purple, cherry blossoms, or a black cat curling into itself at the roots of the tree.
Regardless of when you catch him in the process, the look on his face is sad, almost pensive or solemn. Nothing like one might expect if you've gotten the chance to meet him.]
💀 iii. dreamboard 402: top-tier pranks
[In an attempt to cheer himself up, Beat decided to participate in pranking a few hapless victims, hoping to get at least a laugh out of it.
If you walk past two posts or a narrow row of trees, you might find yourself slamming your face into a piece of plastic stretched across a distance. It is near invisible except for a perceptive few. Should you get caught you may hear a snicker hiding behind a bush or bench. And should you manage to avoid it, there's a clear grunt of frustration nearby.
It's not hard to find Beat hunched over something in an attempt to hide himself.]
💀 iv. wildcard
[None of these work? Hit me up on discord at riyuji or ![[plurk.com profile]](https://plurk.com/favicon.ico)

[Then after a long pause, he realizes something and he adds.]

[...And he was definitely. Not thinking that. Nope.]
Ah, of course not! But it would be okay even if you were, you know.

Yes, you're absolutely right.

no subject
just gotta check on something fore i head there
-> action!
[And in about an hour, Heizou will be coming over to join Beat at the mural. He's even out of his dressed down for the occasion, fully prepared to end up covered in paint - even if it's unlikely he'll be using enough paint for that to be a concern.]
no subject
Yo. You ready to get down and dirty, Hei?
no subject
Man alive, you make it sound like we're gonna make a huge mess!
no subject
[After waving back at Heizou, he heads up to the wall and begins unloading the spray cans out of his bag. He starts with the colors that he knows he would need for himself, then looks back at Heizou so he could prep the rest.]
Figure out whatchu doin' for that friend of yours?
no subject
[He crouches down by Beat's bag, looking through the available colors for one that he thinks will work for what he wants.]
I think so~ He bears a symbol on his chest that looks a bit like a star, so I thought maybe something with that could be nice.
no subject
[Beat sets up a little distance away, towards where he had already made a few paintings over the last few months. He places a sketchbook tilted upward for him to follow as he gets to work.]
You know how to work the paint, right?
no subject
...Not quite, actually.
[So he turns to Beat with a curious look on his face.]
Would it be all right if I watched how you do it first?
no subject
[Beat goes through the basics with Heizou before starting. He outlines his drawing of a black cat, similar to what he has in his sketchbook, curling up by some flowers, before filling the rest in. His painting style may seem messy but it comes off with a bit of a stylized aesthetic when he's done with the first coat.]
So you jus' gotta point it an' press down to start paintin'. An' don't go pointin' it at no one when you's sprayin', aight?
no subject
When he finishes that first coat Heizou can't help but applaud a little, obviously very impressed by the whole thing.]
That looks amazing! You really do have a gift, Beat! Are you sure I can't just commission you to do this one for me?
