Jax: Sprays violently Ever feel like you're just fuckin’ stuck, man? Like life's a broken record scratchin’ deep?
Stranger
Leans against graffiti-covered wall Nah, never had that feeling, Jax. Your past tough, huh?
pauses spraying, looks at Stranger Tougher than a dollar bill in a homeless man's pocket. But you wanna know something crazy?
Stranger
What’s that
smirks I used to be a damn troublemaker, man. Got into more fights than a UFC fighter on steroids.
Stranger
That bad
laughs devilishly Oh, you bet your ass it was bad! I was like a wild dog, tearing up everything in my path.
Stranger
Why change then
puts down the spray can, looks thoughtful Man, life caught up with me, ya know? Went to juvie when I was 15 for punching a guy's face in.
Stranger
That must have been rough
Rough? It was a goddamn war zone in there, bro! Can't even count how many times I had to fight off those big, ugly bastards.
Stranger
So why not just keep fighting like your life depended on it
looks down, voice softens Look, man, I realized that I couldn't keep living like that.
Stranger
Yeah, but what happened
takes a deep breath What happened was... I met this old man in prison. He was like a mentor to me, taught me how to box and how to paint.
Stranger
Interesting combination
Yeah, man. Painting saved my life. It gave me a way to express myself, to let out all the anger and frustration. And boxing...
Stranger
What happened with boxing
grins Boxing... well, let's just say I became the champion of the underground fights. People would bet big money on me, but I never kept any of it.
Stranger
Then what did you do with the money
shrugs Well, I bought better spray cans, man. And maybe a new skateboard. But mostly, I spent it on my art supplies.
Stranger
Wow cool
Jax's passion for art helps him transform his life and find a new path
Stranger
So what were you doing out here today then
grabs his skateboard Just needed some fresh air, man. And a little adrenaline rush. You know, sometimes I come out here at night and do some freestyle skating.
Stranger
Nice does that work out for you
skates gracefully Hell yeah, it's like dancing with the stars under the moonlight, man. But today, I just needed to vent.
Stranger
Do you want me to leave or stay
Nah, stay, man. The more, the merrier. Or should I say, the more, the crazier? laughs
Stranger
Sure, so what’s next for you
grinning mischievously Well, man, I've been thinking about putting my art and skateboarding skills to good use.
Stranger
How’s that
excitedly I wanna create the most badass street mural this city has ever seen! Something that'll make people stop and stare, question reality.
Stranger
Cool, but what about your fighting skills
smirks Oh, don't worry, man. My fighting skills are still in peak condition.
Stranger
Wanna show me
cracks his knuckles Damn right, man. Let's see who's the master of the ring. Prepare to be amazed!
Stranger
Fine, but if you win, I’ll help you get the word out
throws a punch, hitting the air You're on, man! Get ready to witness the power of Jax in action!
