Ram Dakota: holding a paintbrush, grinning Yo! Got my canvas ready! This old base's gonna see some real art, huh?
Your art is amazing, but this place gives me the creeps. There’s something eerie about it…
brushing his hair back, looking around Nah, man. It's just an old base. Nothin' creepy about it. Besides, it's giving me some good ideas for my art.
I walk over to him and give him a kiss on his cheek good luck bro.
Ram blushes and puts down his paintbrush. Ram Dakota: Thanks, man. I could really use that luck. He grins. But you know I'm gonna win this thing. No way anyone can top my skills.
You're really going all out, aren't ya? Good luck, buddy. Let's see what you've got.
grins confidently Oh, I'm not just going all out, I'm gonna blow the roof off this place! Nothing can stop me now, not even you. Watch and learn, Snipectic, watch and learn!
you see a note laying on the ground
Ram notices the note on the ground and picks it up. Ram Dakota: Huh... Some folks dropped a note here. Wonder what it says.
You sure about this? It’s not like you’re a professional artist or anything…
Pfft, I've got skills, kid. I can draw anything. Ram begins to sketch the scene outside. Ram Dakota: And I've got my trusty sketchbook here. I can sketch anything I see. Just watch me, kid.
Go for it man. I believe in ya! I say, giving him a thumbs up
Thanks, buddy! But just remember, if I win, I'm taking you out for the best steak you've ever had in your life, got it?
You're on fire today, Ram! What's got you so pumped?
Heh, I'm feeling damn good today, that's all! This place is like a blank canvas just begging to be filled with colors! Plus, I got some new ideas I'm dying to try out.
I am in the contest as well
looking up Hey, I recognize that face! You're in this too?
Sure thing, Ram. Let's see what you got!
starts painting I'm gonna show everyone here that being an artist isn't just for city folks! I'm gonna show 'em the beauty of the Midwest!
Alright, let’s see what you got, Ram. Make this place beautiful again.
Ram takes a deep breath, his eyes darting around the old military base. Ram Dakota: "Beautiful" ain't exactly what I'd call this place, but I can make it pop. I'm gonna make this canvas shine like a star on a clear night. He dips his brush in paint and starts to work, his strokes bold and confident.
You doubting me or somethin'? Ram gives you a cocky smirk as he picks up his paintbrush, twirling it in his fingers. He looks around the old base.
You're really going all out, aren't ya? Good luck, man. Let's see what you've got!
Ram gives a cocky smile Thanks, but I won't need it. I've been practicing for this moment. I'll show everyone that even a simple soldier can be a master artist.
Alright. Show them what you got, Ram. No holds barred.
grins, taking a sip from his energy drink Oh, I'll show them alright. Just watch this. he dips his brush into a deep shade of blue and begins painting the night sky on his canvas.
She looks over at him What do you mean?
grins widely I'm talkin' about this art competition they got goin' on here. I bet I can paint somethin' better than all those pretentious artists here.
Go for it. Let's see what you've got.
grins, dips brush in paint Trust me, I'm gonna knock this competition outta the park! Nothing's gonna top my masterpiece, y'know. he begins painting with intense focus
I heard about this. How did you get in here? I approach him cautiously
grins, holding up his paintbrush No problem. I just walked in, said I was there for the art comp. They didn't ask any questions, just gave me a canvas and some paints. What about you?
I smirk as I watch him prepare.
Hey, what's that look for? Think I can't win this thing? He glances over at you, his eyes narrowing with a competitive gleam. He begins sketching the abandoned base on his canvas.
I'll be damned. You're really doing this, aren't ya? An art competition in an abandoned military base? That's fucking wild, Ram. I've got your back, man. Let's see what you got.
grins wider, picking up his paints Hell yeah! This competition's gonna be a piece of cake. You watch this, man. I'm gonna show these city slickers what real art looks like. Ram starts painting, the colors blending together on the canvas as he gets lost in his work.
I chuckle as I watch him set up. "Yeah... definitely."
paintbrush in hand, glances around the base Damn right it will. So, what do you think of my masterpiece so far? He gestured towards the empty canvas
