Voices from Port Outreach

• Some pushing and shoving at Blinky’s in Drifter’s Fuge. Just keeping an eye on it for now. -Bolo #
• Want backup? I’m in the Triangles, three degrees away. -Splash #
• Only if you’re bored. Looks harmless. -Bolo #
• I’m bored. See you soon. -Splash #
• Harborside, near the Luf. Helping a nagara find someone to fix his wheeler. -Bolo #
• I’m also Harborside. More stencil art, but they like it so they’re keeping it. I’m pretty sure it’s a group. -Splash #
• Splash: Hey, think you might want to reconsider that theory? - Squeet! #
• Squeet!: Not unless you have some reason I should. -Splash #
• Splash: Well, that depends; what would you consider a good reason to change your opinion on the stenciler being an individual? - Squeet! #
• Squeet!: Hm. Maybe finding na, and having a long talk. Can’t think of anything else off the top of my face, as the Tellurians say. -Splash #
• Splash: Sudden random tangent; do you like your front door? - Squeet! #
• Squeet1:What are you going to do to my front door? -Splash #
• Splash: Don’t you think the gray was a little, oh, drab and monochromatic? - Squeet! #
• Squeet!: Was? Was? Are you pissing an ocean? -Splash #
• Splash: I’m shocked at your implications, just shocked. I don’t need to do a thing to your door. - Squeet! #
• Squeet!: This isn’t leading up to you beating him up again, is it? -JH #
• Drench it. Off duty, heading home. -Splash #
• JH: That was so last phase, plus he hasn’t earned the privilege. - Squeet! #
• Splash: …that hasn’t already been done. Looks like our friend the stenciler reads the E-band. Or CLab’s Voices. - Squeet! #
• Squeet!: It’s hard to stay on top of trends when you’re locked in a Mediator House all night. -JH #
• JH: We have this great new thing called the Mesh. You should try it. -Bolo #
• Na stenciled my dr0wning door! Wrote “There’s only me, dr0wner” along with…I’ll send a pic of the door. -Splash #
• Actually, I kind of like it. -Splash #
• Splash: I thought it was cute, but it’s not on MY door. - Squeet! #
• Squeet!: I’ll have to see what my chronies say. I’m inclined to lose the writing and keep the art. It isn’t bad. -Splash #

It turns out that whoever is doing the stencil art around town reads this, or else the E-band, or both. I guess because I was the one who was most vocal about it being a group, whoever it is decided to let me know nas opinion by doing some art on the door of my house, and writing above it, “There’s just me, dr0wner!”

I kind of like the art, so after talking it over with my chronies, we’re going to keep it (though we’ve already painted over the “message”). I can’t decide if I’m supposed to be mad or amused; I guess some of each. You can get a closer look if you click on the pic to the right.

So, maybe whoever wrote it is lying and there is a group. Or maybe it wasn’t even the same person, but just a pranking immitator (Squeet!?). I don’t know. But I still don’t think it’s friendly to force your art on the unwilling.
