A.

It's finally happened.

Crow has quite possibly lost it.

At least, that's one way to explain his handiwork at the Diet building today. Somehow, some way, he's meticulously spray painted an image of Masayoshi Shido picking his nose while smiling like an idiot with his tongue sticking out. How long did it take him? Good question. What inspired him to make something so childish? Also a good question!

But as he finishes his handiwork, he takes a step back, turns around, pulls off his face mask, and takes a whiff of the air facing away from the paint fumes. He pulls up the pair of goggles he'd donned, resting them against his forehead.

"Well, that was a lot of effort for very minimal returns."

But perhaps he can make something of it...

B.

After finishing his grand display, Crow decides to do the only sensible thing. He puts up posters everywhere, inviting people to behold a new art piece at the National Diet. Why? Because he can. Because, quite frankly, he has lost control of his life and was told to unwind.

So here he is. Unwinding. Un-freaking-winding.

C.

After some time, Crow decides it's time for a grand finale. He's made sure the area is clear first, a task made easier with Hiro's navigation abilities. He even invited Raven along for the ride... and now...

Raven holds his Evoker to his temple. "Is it time?"

"Just a moment." Crow raises his own Evoker, while Hiro leaps back and raises his left palm.

And then, with the pull of a trigger, Raven's Robin Hood, Hiro, and Crow's Loki all unleash Megidolaons at the building.

Feel free to behold their artistry. Or question their life choices. That's fine, too.

She’s getting to work. Her lines are still shaky and her figures are wobbly. But she thinks she’s improved a bit since when she first did graffiti with Dove.
Maybe she should keep this up when she gets back. Hehe it’ll be fun!
She glances back at Crow every so often, clearly she wants to ask him something but she’s… torn.
It’s not exactly subtle to ask about an argument you only witnessed at a party between two pretty much strangers to her.
She’s curious but also knows if she pushes too hard she’ll loose her opportunity.
So
So she
“How long have you been here?” She asks instead.

"Roughly a year now. I showed up... hm, about a week after the initial batch." All things considered, it's not a terribly long time.

He continues to watch as Hannei works.

Hannei doesn’t seem to agree with that sentiment.
“A year?” She pauses her work to look back at Crow, surprise very clear on her face.
She looks down a moment, pondering…
She could barely handle herself alone for a few weeks, the thought of doing this for a whole year.
She shudders.
“Wow, you must be way stronger than me then.” She says, turning back to her work.
Looks like she’s adding more birds flying towards… something vaguely blob shaped

"Well, I wouldn't be so sure. Frankly, before my boyfriend arrived, it was a bit disheartening." Certainly, he made it work. Busied himself by caring for others, but all the same...

"There are ways to make do. The more you connect with others, the more reasons you have to engage with this world on its own terms."

She looks back at crow again. Then hums. She tilts her head.
“If you say so it’s probably true but… It’s not easy”

She can make connections all she wants, some shallow, some she wants to develop more. She can say it’s easy but she only knows how to be friendly, friendly face friendly smile you like her don’t you? You want to tell her things because she’s so confused don’t you?
It’s all she knows.
But
But she.
She tightens her grip on the spray paint can.
“…I still wish my akechi were here. He’s smart, he’d know how to keep me busy” she really is useless without him..

"Well, it's not impossible that he'll arrive someday. In the meantime, you may find that the people here can ease your loneliness. If nothing else, I find it preferable to isolation."

Loneliness is difficult, after all. He used to think it was superior, but these days, he knows better.

She blinks once. Then hums.
Well, he’s not wrong. Dove is fun to hang around, and there’s others too.
She still wishes her akechi were here but… in the meantime.

“I’ll keep that in mind” she nods.
Oh, hey, her piece is done.
Looks like several birds flying towards something bright. Lines are wobbly and some birds look like blobs, but it gets the point across.

Crow nods along. Certainly not on Yusuke's level of artistic skill, but that's really not what this is exercise is about in the first place.

Really, it's more about letting loose.

Well, she’s pretty happy with it, resting her arms behind her head. She wants to make another but…
Hm, ok let’s try a different angle, she doesn’t want to just immediately ask about the party incident after all. Feels too mean right now.
“So, since you’ve been here a while that must mean you know a lot of people, right?” She asks.

"More or less. I'm sure there are some I've yet to meet personally, but I suppose you could say I'm established."

He shrugs. Really, he's trying not to be so... proactive right now, in light of the party.

Now or never. Arms still behind her head, not really looking at Crow, she asks.
“Ah, so is that why so many were quick to step in at the party?”
Well, she’s taken the shot. She’ll figure out her next move based of his reaction.

"I suspect that was a part of it." He looks off into the distance, unsure of what else to say right now. They aren't especially close, after all.

She just nods. Well that’s that question answered.
“Well, it’s nice knowing people will have your back” and she decides to drop that topic. After all she doesn’t know him all that well.
If she pushes more she might get the wrath of those friends. And that’s bad.
So instead she decides to spray paint a spot on the ground until the paint gathers, and is now using said paint to finger paint.
… There’s probably simpler methods to fingerprint but screw it she’s having fun.

"That's an interesting way to go about it." He won't scold her for it, but he does watch. What in the world is she doing here?

Finger painting apparently.
At first she’s just making little paint blobs with her fingers, trying to feel out the medium. But she seems to get the hand of it as she starts sorta painting out stick figures.
Guess she’s just having fun.

“… Can I ask what your world is like?” She speaks up finally. Not really looking up from whatever she’s painting. “I keep hearing that everyone comes from different worlds but I don’t know the details exactly.” And now, she looks up.
“I can tell you about mine too, If you want to make it an exchange?”

Ah. Interesting.

Crow reaches for his chin, pondering how to describe it. "It's the same as Raven's, just further into the future. So, I escaped the endless cycle of shitty guardians, gained a family, friends, and helped solve a supernatural serial murder case. Now I'm one of the leaders of the Phantom Thieves alongside my boyfriend as well as Naoto Shirogane's partner and an employee of Mitsuru Kirijo."

She blinks as she listens. She uh, doesn’t know Raven’s world yet, but decides if she wants more details on his end she can just ask him herself.
No instead she focuses on the names. There’s a few she doesn’t know. And those Phantom Thieves again! They’ve gotta be a constant at this point.
“Naoto is… the first detective prince right?” She tilts her head, akechi has told her about them before, but she hasn’t really done any research yet.
But who’s Mitsuru Kirijo?
Hm, well this is an exchange (she thinks?) so best respond in turn right?
“Well, akechi found me, and we’ve been working together to try and take down Shido, he’s got some friends too, but we’ve just been focusing on navigating the conspiracy. Alibaba-Chan joined to help in that, and we’ve been able to change hearts without Shido finding out so far. There hasn’t been any talk of Phantom Thieves yet but I’m starting to think we just haven’t gotten there yet”
Despite all this she’s still fingerprinting.

"So your world's version of me has allies..." Hmm. Fascinating. That's already a deviation from many other worlds. "Good to hear he's in more forgiving circumstances. Isolation seems to be the downfall of my counterparts."

“Yeah… I’m starting to suspect that that’s the case” she doesn’t get it, why are there so many that didn’t have friends before? Why is her akechi different?
Why is she here for him and not anyone else?
Hannei huffs in frustration.
“…I know he’s stubborn, but he should have been able to make a few friends even without…” she grumbles to herself, guess she finds it a bit confusing?
