[location- Sanctuary] [The day after Etrigan is summoned]

Morning dawns bright and sunny over Taxon. The spring weather is holding, the blue sky is filled with puffy clouds, and oh yeah, there's graffiti over much of the Sanctuary.

It's 'art', if you can call stick figures and vulgar caricatures in spray paint 'art'.

Some, but by no means all, features of this impromptu all-night graffiti session feature the following:

There's a vampire being kicked in the ass by a blond girl. Subsequent doodles down one side of the building seem to involve the use of stakes as impromptu sexual aids.

There is a crude rendition of a woman reclining amid skulls and demons, with an even cruder sidebar of a stick figure stubbly man in a costume apparently fapping away at the sight of her, captioned with a thought bubble saying 'close enough!'.

Two men, one wearing a cowboy hat and an outsized star stuck on his chest, and the other waving a gun wildly in the air, are engaged in very pornographic stick figure sex.

There's an obscenely well-endowed stick figure Catwoman being leered at by a drooling man in a sort-of bat costume, as the kick-off of a sequence that gets less and less G-rated (not that it ever was to start with) and winds up being apparently bondage with a pearl necklace. At least that might be a pearl necklace. (The artist got bored with detail, and the art on this one gets increasingly terrible.)

Not all of the drawings are sexual: there's a cartoonish vampire with an apparent collar of bones that leads back to the hand of a dour-looking figure wearing what might be a suit, who is tossing a (lovingly-detailed) femur and saying Hol, Bruder! in the speech balloon over his head.

Here's a curly-headed man with a vacant smile and a jagged line on his head, hands holding it open to reveal nothing inside, multiple question marks hanging in space above it. At his knees, a long-haired boy is kneeling, mouth open in a vapid, receptive 'O' that seems to be ignored by the man above him.

Here's a skull-- the artist spent time on this one, it's one of the better images on the wall-- with a cartoon heart above it and the words "KEEP TRYING!"

Here's a pointy-eared, long-haired man bent over with a doctor behind him, peering through an exaggerated monocle. Caption: "NO WAY WE CAN GET THAT STICK UNJAMMED, SORRY YOUR HIGHNESS"

A messy-headed, lanky youth uses an oversized magnifying glass to follow, hunched-over, a series of footsteps; he seems on the verge of walking off a precipice, but too caught up in his clews to notice.

A stick-figure girl with a sword walks away from a blob that, on close inspection, might seem to be a swaddled infant.

A dog, perhaps a dog anyway, howls at the moon while scratching at fleas with a hind leg. A collar around its neck reads REMUS.

A scrawny looking dragon snores at the bottom of one 'panel', oblivious to the sexual shenanigans happening above it.

An unkempt man with a fro and exaggerated pot-belly wanders around through the entire multi-character tableaux, with dotted lines showing his progress like a Family Circus strip; ever so often his uncertain progress is punctuated with a "WEED?" speech bubble.

Finally, there's a cheerful doodle of a man with a skunk-stripe in his hair blowing his brains out with a gun.

The artist has not bothered to sign his or her work.

Mayland Long blinks several times as he observes Logan and Maddy going about the graffiti removal in their, ah, specific and destructive ways.

"....ah.... I might suggest soap and water, but...."

Madelyne is still looking around for something to throw at the building, since it will make her feel better. Mayland grabs her attention with his comment and she presses her lips together before commenting, "I'm not much in the mood to clean."

"So I can see. It's only that ... well, there is such a thing as overkill," Long says placidly, while keeping his eyes trained upward in case there's any shrapnel from a car or from the wall that he needs to avoid.

Logan continues his clean, circular slice - perhaps disturbing how easily he can cut through the solid wall.

"We find who did this, I'll show ya what overkill really means."

Madelyne makes a soft snorting sound, though it is hard to tell if it is at Logan or Long's comment. It seems that the moment has passed somewhat and the anger behind throwing a car at the wall has receded.

"Right."

Long tilts his head both at Logan's words and at his cavalier dismantling of what should, by rights, be solid stone. There's something delightfully Dali, he thinks, about watching the white marble (or whatever rock it is) be carved like soft butter. The floating car adds the perfect touch.

"Well, do stay safe when displaying your 'overkill'. It would be unfortunate if any of us were to become hurt over artistic slights."

"As long as you don't earn the hurt, ya won't get it."

The slab of marble slides out of the wall and cracks to the ground.

And Logan starts hacking it up even further.

Long opens his mouth to ask a question as he witnesses Logan slice-slice-slicing up the stone. He thinks better of it and simply watches, hands clasped behind his back.

"I suppose it's fair to say the artist struck some nerve, with the two of you," he observes eventually.

"There are parts of my past I don't like being brought up, especially by unknown parties when I don't know what else they're going to do with it," Madelyne says as she carefully sets the car back down on the ground again.

Logan doesn't really elaborate on his annoyance, although part of it is just the insult to Jean's memory more than any kinda modesty about himself. He's seen worse on the bathroom walls at the school, thanks to a kid named Quire.

Once it's good and dusted, though, he stretches his neck and slips the claws back into his fists.

"Any idea who did this?"

Long only shrugs before clasping his hands together behind his back. "I am afraid I have no idea, no. Perhaps it's connected with this 'duplicate' thing, but I could not speak to that."

Especially since he cannot find Sherlock Holmes.

"I suppose everyone has parts of their past they find-- sensitive. But one can only control one's own reactions to such things."
