i have a question.

@shockingly-common-sense

(She jolts just slightly and turns to them with narrowed eyes.)

And that question would be?

(Her voice is muffled by her air filtering mask. She's currently spraying out the start of a smaller art piece on a wall.)

where do you usually source your paint from?

Why should I tell you, DEVIL worker?

i want to commission you, and i want to know how much goes into covering costs and how much you actually get to take home.

(He crosses his arms.)

I haven't done commissions before. The cost of my paint varies, but I guess it's around 20 per can on average. The amount I use would depend on the size, and how much I charge you will go up if it's a risky location.

How did you find me?

i'm a seer.

...

(She looks them up and down, seeming to not fully believe them.)

..Whatever, so long as it means the police won't find me. What sort of commission did you have in mind?

(they shrug. this was expected)

i have some sketches. it's mostly to do with chronicling some forgotten demon history. just putting it out into the open.

I see. And where would you want this placed?

there's an abandoned factory out by the border that i think would make a good canvas with the audience i plan for it to reach.

...Any cop presence?

there is some in that district, but it's fairly limited and their patrols rarely end up on that block.

Better than I was expecting. Can I see your sketches?

yes.

(they hand her a notepad filled with rough sketches of a mural that shows a city built on a giant corpse and several demon like figures rising out of it. there's notes on different colors that should be used and it's all in a very geometric style)

Wow, this is dark. I suppose I should be able to pull off the design, though.

thank you.

History often is-

i thought i told you that you would lose speaker privileges if you couldn't control yourself.

Who is that?

an ai personality a friend's been coding for me.

Liar.

that's it. your speaker's getting shut off-

(they wince as they reach for a device on their belt)

If it calls you a liar, I think that kind of weakens your point...

(they sigh)

it's better if you don't know what he actually is.

How completely unsuspicious of you. I'll take your word for it, for now.

Do you need anything else from me or should I just start scoping out the area you'd like the art in?

i'd like to wire you part of your payment now. i'll send the rest when you've finished.

Alright.

(Ash gives Pidge the necessary information to wire the payment.)

(they wire her the payment)

thank you again.

(they cloak and walk away)

They found me

-🎧🌌

fuckfuckfuckfuckfuckfuckfuckfuckfuckfuckfuckfuckfuckfuckfuck

You knew this would happen.

just not this soon!

You knew the exact timing and yet you did not prepare.

shut up. i've got to call them.

One incoming video call: Pidge!

oh! hi [Pidge]!

morning [Jackie]! how're you doing?

i'm good! a little tired because the caffeine patch hasn't quite kicked in, but you know how it is with the three am classes.

do i ever! so what's this three a.m. escapade been about?

well, it was something to do with testing the limits of our mind and how we can more easily fall into a dreaming state when we're at the edge of our limits and that makes it easier to craft a dream scape, but i'll have you know, i'm actually better at this stuff when i'm well rested and not half groggy.

apparently it's good to know for defensive dreamwalking, but i'm not even in that track!

typical of the institution to push you towards weaponization. i'm glad you're figuring out what you're good at though!

yeah, me too! what have you been up to at [DEVIL]? [Dad] says that there was a headline about one of the buildings getting attacked by terrorists but i haven't been able to read it because i've been so busy.

do you know what's going on there?

i can't say i've heard too much about that either. i've had my head down in the grid working on different things, although that [Courage] program i've been working on on the side for you has started coming together.

oh my god, yay! i've still got to send you the design for his interface, but i do have it drafted up!

awesome! we'll have to do a test run with him the next time i'm home!

how's dad's leg holding up? i know that the weather hasn't been too friendly to people's joints up here.

Well, you could have just asked me yourself, Pidge.

[Dad!] knock please!

Sorry kiddo, heard you two talking and wanted to say hi. My leg's doing pretty alright, and that cane I got set up with has been helping a lot with walking.

you should have seen him go when he was helping [Mom] out with the groceries. he was almost at mach five!

[ha! i would pay good money to see that!]

hi Dad! it's good to see you! i'm glad that you're leg's doing good!
