[Ah, look there! It's Spider-Man! He's filming... sideways? Oh, wait, he's standing on a brick wall sideways. That explains it.

His eyes are squinty and peeved, and his arms are crossed — who needs to hold the phone for recording when you've got webs to do that?

Anyway. He's peeved.]

Uuum, just FYI? Graffiti is 100% not cool. I mean, some of it is cool if you get a permit or you're actually any good at drawing —

Point is, don't gross up someone's wall with your bad artwork or some signature a bank teller wouldn't even take.

Also, how dare you use my creepy disfigured twin against me.

[What? Oh, look, he's turning the camera to show — oh dear god.]



[OH DEAR GOOOOOOD]

... I gotta say, The Arachnid really let himself go. And lost his neck in a tragic head-on collision with a building. Yikes.

And the Hulk should probably hit a dentist ASAP, but I'm loving what he's doing with the half-cut shirt.

Really brings out his... green... everything. 

[He rubs his chin.]

... You know, I'm just assuming that's the Hulk, but for all I know the guy who did it didn't have skin tones. Maybe he's just angry and sick.

As long as you get clearance from... whoever handles that kinda thing. The building owner?

You thinking about taking up street art?

[compartmentalise]

All right. I will ask them. I'm sure they would want something more interesting than a white spot on the building.

I would like to try.

[madeupnames]

I think that'd be great. Putting a real effort in and making something cool or pretty for people to look at, that'd make up for all the weird art people scribble in sharpie or spray paint.

[5% of graffiti art is cool. You can be that magical 5%.]

[compartmentalise]

There's more art like that in the Quarantine?

[madeupnames]

I'm sure there is, yeah! Probably do murals and stuff. Maybe you can start making that a side-job for yourself?

[compartmentalise]

That's a good idea. Thank you, I'll give it a try.

[madeupnames]

Not a problem, man! If you want, I can keep an eye out for any art-related projects cropping up for ya. I'm all over the town daily, and all.

[compartmentalise]

Yes, thank you. Would you like me to paint you something, too?

[madeupnames]

[He blinks them arachnid eyeballs wide.]

Who, me?

Painting something for me?

[compartmentalise]

Yes. Would you be interested?

[madeupnames]

... Y'know, I'd like that. Sure, man!

[............ He motions to the oddly shaped Spider-Man behind him.]

Preferably something a little more accurate to real life.

[compartmentalise]

[He looks amused] Don't worry, I can do that.

[madeupnames]

In that case, let your Picasso shine!

... Wait, no, Picasso is not the one you wanna take after, if you're avoiding weird shapes. Let your Denis Peterson shine! That's more like it.

[compartmentalise]

I could.... but then I could just take a photograph.

[madeupnames]

True enough... But don't forget to detail my big beautiful eyes!

[He flutters those weird robot eyes @ you, because he's a doofus.]

[compartmentalise]

[He looks amused. Both at Spider-Man's antics and the ridiculous notion that Markus could forget things] I'll remember.
