Ash

22 | Graffiti Artist | Rebel

[spray-painted-dreams]

I probably shouldn't even be doin' this, but here's an introduction. If you're a cop, don't read past this point for the sake of plausible deniability.

My name's Ash. My real name doesn't matter.

I do graffiti across the city. Mostly purple, blue, magenta, teal.. all in glow-in-the-dark, because why not. My biggest piece is a few blocks from the massive cybernetic tree they set up a couple years back. Says some stuff about dreams n' shit. You've probably seen somethin' of mine before, not that I make it a point to sign any of 'em..

Oh, and I do my best to help d(a)emons, too. If you can find me, I'll try to get you out of the system.

Ash and Fizz's appearances!!

[spray-painted-dreams]

now connect that back to the previous ask and you might have your answer about what that seer's companion was.

My working memory is shit. Hold on, lemme go back and read that-

Oh. Okay, yeah, I guess- wow. Yes, that makes sense.

[spray-painted-dreams]

do you know what the city was built on?

If I'm right about my theories, I think so.

[spray-painted-dreams]

you know how all seers have a piece of the sovereigns in them right?

Uh, do I know that? Now I do, I guess.

[spray-painted-dreams]

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.)

[shockingly-common-sense]

where do you usually source your paint from?

[spray-painted-dreams]

Why should I tell you, DEVIL worker?

[shockingly-common-sense]

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.

[spray-painted-dreams]

(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?

[shockingly-common-sense]

i'm a seer.

[spray-painted-dreams]

...

(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?

[shockingly-common-sense]

(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.

[spray-painted-dreams]

I see. And where would you want this placed?

[shockingly-common-sense]

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.

[spray-painted-dreams]

...Any cop presence?

[shockingly-common-sense]

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

[spray-painted-dreams]

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

[shockingly-common-sense]

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)

[spray-painted-dreams]

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

[shockingly-common-sense]

thank you.

History often is-

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

[spray-painted-dreams]

Who is that?

[shockingly-common-sense]

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)

[spray-painted-dreams]

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

[shockingly-common-sense]

(they sigh)

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

[spray-painted-dreams]

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?

[shockingly-common-sense]

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

[spray-painted-dreams]

Alright.

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

[shockingly-common-sense]

(they wire her the payment)

thank you again.

(they cloak and walk away)

[spray-painted-dreams]

Yeah, no problem-

...Not the weirdest contact I've received, but I still think this is going to stick in my mind for some reason.

[spray-painted-dreams]

i have a question.
