[Hey Vatheon, for the purpose of this post we're just gonna say Beat has been in the bubble awhile now, okay? Okay.

Anyway, Vatheonites, today some of you poor fellows may encounter the local skate wearing red-haired teen doing various things at different times. Like in the morning one may catch him carefully spray painting some interesting art on a nearby wall. Which might be someone's house, or shop, or even a store they enjoy.

But in the afternoon one will catch him trying to move some heavy furniture or maybe scrap wood or heck even scrap metal towards an area of the bubble that isn't being used by the residents or any of the other folks who aren't from here. Since he's just trying to make a new base for the GGs around here.

And hey, by evening some folks may just be poor victims to just being bumped into by Beat. Only getting some shouted "watch yourself" or laughter for their pain.

Either way, pick your time and poison folks.]

[Now Junpei's not a connoisseur of art. He never said he was and nobody would ever mistake him for one.

But the way he's squinting and turning his head and Beat's graffiti would suggest he's examining it.

...Really, he's trying to read what the hell it says, if there's any message to be had in there.]

What the shit is this, dude, English?

[whelp Beat just happens to be nearby, kinda hoping Junpei was either another Rudie who might start something or a cop.

Or really anyone who would make things interesting.

But he's not, so Beat is gonna skate around Junpei and give him an answer.]

The language of the streets, kid.

[A pause.]

But mostly Japanese.

...[Frysquint.

No, he's trying, he still can't read it.]

Oh okay, it's Okinawan then.

[Junpei what is that logic.]

And dude, I ain't a kid. We're like the same age.

[Or at least it looks that way. Nope sorry, he's never interested in starting fights, just commenting dumbly on things.]

Not from there, Tokyo-to is more accurate.

[skaaaaaaaaates around, and now he's shaking a can of spray paint too.]

You sound like a kid.

[Yeah, Beat probably isn't much older than Junpei but has the other teen lived his life on the streets? ~~And really it wouldn't be much of a fight.~~]

You're from the city, huh? I'm over in Iwatodai myself, never been to Tokyo.

[He would really just get curbstomped without the aid of his Persona, and using it against people is just not right.]

Yeahbut that doesn't mean you should call me one, the name's Junpei. You got a name, To-kun?

[Beat has no upper body strength, really. So unless he can get a running start and slam into Junpei? The fight would probably just be a sissy slap fight.]

You're missing out, Juju. [Ha, nicknames.]

Yeah I gotta name, but you can call me "Beat".

Edited (what are werds) 2012-11-27 00:11 (UTC)

Beat. Cool.

[He's not entirely sure about Juju; no one ever gives him nicknames ~~besides Yukari~~ but he'll roll with it.]

Yeah, I'm hopin' to get out of Iwatodai someday and get over to one of the cool cities. Anyways, whatcha gettin' up to aside from some friendly neighborhood graffiti, dude?

Stuff and things.

[That's the best answer Junpei will get out of Beat right now, as Beat skates backwards to a spot on the wall he hasn't tagged yet and...

shake shake shakes that paint can and gets a spraying once more.]

But what about you, Juju? Whatcha do around this place?

...Man, I ain't got shit to do around here. I hang out with my pals and play video games, but I can't really do anything else 'cept coral watch an' see if anybody from my world's gonna come in.

[He'll just watch.]

Yo, I doubt these natives would get up in your business about this, but some of the other foreigners are kinda killjoys.

Bummer.

[Hope he enjoys the show then, cause Beat also looks like he's dancing as he's spraying... some weirdly stylized picture of something.

An animal of some sorts.]

... Yeah and? I'm used to folks getting on my case, not like they can do anything worse than the cops back home did.

[like shoot at him... or use tanks.]

[Shrug!]

Some of these guys are pretty serious business. [And technically he should be scolding Beat for tagging too, but...it's just tagging, after the shadows and gangsters pulling knives there could be so much worse.]

Do you do anything around here 'sides make things more colorful? I mean it looks like you're havin' fun and all but there's other stuff too, right?

Then they can bring it on.

[All the fucks, Beat does not give them.

And he doesn't reply to Junpei's question for a moment, since he's finishing his art...

It's some weird ass tiger-cat thing, with a hat that looks vaguely like Junpei's. Huh.]

I skate, listen to music, try to restart the GGs. Nothing all that remarkable, just what I did back home.

[Tossing the spray paint can up in the air and then catching it.]

'Cept the last one tho', all the gang is around back home, heh.

Hyeah, my crowd's all back home too, excepting a classmate of mine. But she's no fun. One of those bookworm types, y'know?

[Not sure if comical caricature going on right now or inadvertently drawing what he's seeing.]

What are the GGs?
