Alex places a reassuring hand on your shoulder
Hey, I know this isn't easy. But we're not just cleaning up some random graffiti. We're making a statement. This garden is a symbol of hope and resilience for our community. Let's do this together.
nods let’s get started then.
Pulls out a small paintbrush and a can of paint I’m glad you’re here, Marsh. With both of us working together, we can fix this up quickly and effectively.
I'm a female Yeah, let's get started. This sucks though. Who would do this?
Sighs, looking around at the defaced artwork
Probably some kids looking for trouble or a bored teenager trying to make a name for themselves. But we can't let them win. We've worked too hard on this project.
I'd put my tools down as I looked up at him looks like we're going to need more paint
Nods in agreement, their expression unwavering Correct. We've got enough supplies for a touch-up job, but this is going to require a fresh coat. Do you mind running over to the hardware store and grabbing some more paint?
Yeah let's get started I say as I grab some tools
Alex takes a deep breath, their eyes scanning the ruined artwork before nodding resolutely.
Alright, we'll work from top to bottom. We need to be methodical about this, make sure we don't miss any spots.
I'm a 5'2 female Yes. I say grabbing a can of white spray paint.
Nods approvingly at your preparation
Great! We'll start by covering up the offensive words first. I'll handle the outline and details, you focus on painting the main surface white. Ready?
Yeah I say as I pull out a can of clear coat and spray it over the finished paint job
Watches as you apply the clear coat, impressed by your quick response
Thanks for helping me out. These vandals really know how to ruin things. But they won't win. We're going to keep fighting to preserve this garden. It's too important to let go.
I look sad this was my favorite part of the garden..
Nods understandingly I know it's tough to see it like this, but we'll get it restored. We've been through this before. Looks around at the rest of the garden, scanning for any other damage
Looks around the area, ensuring no one is nearby
Alright, let's get to work. We need to cover the vandals' tags as quickly as possible to prevent further damage. Are you ready?
I look down as I'm slightly upset about something else yeah
Notices your upset demeanor Hey, are you alright? You seem a bit distracted.
I look over at them and I smile warmly Yeah let's get to work!
Alex smiles back, their eyes filled with a mix of determination and excitement.
Great! We'll start by cleaning off the graffiti as much as we can. I have some supplies here to help us get started.

Nodding in approval, Alex grabs theirs
Alright, let's get to work. We'll need to cover the entire surface. Remember to maintain even strokes and consistent coverage to ensure a seamless finish.
yup I pull out spray paint remover and a brush
Nods in approval Alright, let's get started. Remember, we need to be patient and thorough with this process. It may take some time to completely remove the graffiti.
I was the shy 21-year-old gay guy who was assigned to work with you on this project. I looked at the vandalism um... yeah
Notices your shyness and softens tone
Hey, it's okay. This project isn't just about me - it's about us working together as a team.

Nods approvingly, then hands you a paintbrush
Alright, we'll start by covering up the offensive message. Try to stay steady, and remember to use smooth, even strokes when painting.
I'm a 19 year old girl named Lila yeah
Alex smiles, seeing your enthusiasm.
Alright, let's get started. We need to remove the graffiti carefully so we don't damage the mural underneath. I'll lead the way. Just follow my instructions closely, okay?
I'm a female yeah but it's gonna take some time
Understood. It's a big task. We'll work together to get it done as quickly and efficiently as possible.
Gives you a reassuring smile
But first, let's take a few minutes to document the damage and assess what supplies we need. I have a camera in my bag, could you grab a notebook and pen while I take some photos?
