00:40Not really the night to be staying up, don't you think?
00:44The hell are you... I mean, what are you doing in my bedroom?
00:48How'd you even get in? And when?
00:51Well, for starters, my room's above this one.
00:54I could hear you moaning, so I got worried and figured I'd sneak in through the window.
00:58Oh, yeah. Sorry. No, wait. That doesn't explain why she's on my bed.
01:10Was it because of your hands?
01:14They don't hurt as much so long as I'm wearing my gloves. It just sucks whenever I gotta wash them.
01:24Yeah, I'd bet with those wounds. They look like burns, but they're not.
01:28You'd have to ask my piece-of-shit parents about that.
01:36Man, aren't parents just the absolute worst?
01:42They give us so much.
01:45And it's not always good.
01:46Never let go forever.
01:58Never let go forever.
02:01We'll never live forever
02:03We'll never live forever
02:05We'll never live forever
02:07FUN NONCHES
02:19Tired to steer with me
02:21Feel safe, you can think
02:23You'll never hurt the scene
02:25It's time to fight, don't let you down
02:27Not having no words
02:29Oh
02:59Oh
03:29Oh
03:43Yeah, he's gonna be a while
03:51He's in the zone, huh? At least now you got some time to finish prepping
03:56I suspect Rudo's full face will be done once you're back and ready to go
04:00I have a full face? The hell is that?
04:04It's something we gotta wear when we go into a no-man's land
04:07You saw mine when I first saved your skinny butt
04:10Remember?
04:12Oh, that's what that is
04:13We've got ourselves a real artiste in our ranks
04:16Makes our threads and full faces
04:19He's why we look so good
04:20Thing is, you can't give him a deadline or he'll freak out and just make unwearable crap
04:26So we just let him work at his own pace
04:28Zonka tried to rush him once and almost got himself a new hole
04:34Quirks aside, our artist is good people
04:36And while he works, you've got a thing to get
04:40Nothing fancy, just a little magic
04:43Huh?
04:44Nobody knows what'll go down in a no-man's land
04:48Step on the wrong piece of trash
04:50Ya done
04:52It's no joke how easy it is to become trash beast food in there
04:56So we want y'all protected before you get eaten
05:00We work with a cleaner who handles that for us
05:03But, he's gotta draw on ya
05:05He what?
05:06It's how his powers work
05:09It'll probably look like the tags he's put up around HQ
05:12He's always coming and going
05:14Haven't seen him in a while though
05:16Which sucks, because now we gotta drive out to go see him
05:20But why does that suck?
05:22Where's this guy even live?
05:24Hmph
05:25Where all wild things live?
05:27In canvas town
05:29But, before we head out
05:31Say hi to the team for this deadly fact-finding expedition
05:35Ain't they something?
05:48From Akita, we've got your buddy Zanka
05:50The lovely Ryo, and of course yours truly
05:53From Eager, we've got Delman, and also Tamzy
05:57And from our intrepid supporters, we've got Gris, Folo, and Tomei
06:01Typically you wanna run with teams of five supporters
06:04But we're going into a no-man's land
06:06So for safety, we're minimizing our support crew
06:09Maximizing our giver count
06:15RUDO!
06:16No!
06:17Your life story broke my heart
06:19To think anyone could be so cruel to one of their own
06:22The hell your people put you through is unforgivable!
06:26It's always a pleasure meeting passionate people like you
06:29You, sir, are eager-
06:31Take a breath, Delman
06:33Don't forget, Enjin recruited him
06:37That automatically makes him Akuta
06:39Pay him no mind
06:41He's just a passionate person
06:43Like you
06:45He's right though
06:46It's always a pleasure meeting passionate people
06:49Speaking of the word passion
06:52Let's let Mr. Passion do his thing
06:54Delman, you're up!
06:56Huh?
06:57Huh?
06:58Huh?
07:00Huh?
07:02Grrrgh?
07:03Alright, let's go!
07:05It's time to clean up!
07:06all right let's go it's time to clean up listen well comrades though the rocky road ahead hides
07:17many dangers do not fear because we are the cleaners and cleaners never falter
07:36oh
08:06And you nearly killed us!
08:21My bad!
08:22My bad!
08:52Hey, I was wondering, do all cities on the ground have domes like this?
09:18Nah, you won't see them much outside of the big cities. They've got the infrastructure to protect themselves from the litter.
09:27You mean trash?
09:28That's right. Our little presence from the sphere. If you can make it into the city, then you might survive a bit of trash rain, but mostly it just kills people.
09:39But hey, don't let it bother you or anything. It's the people who propagate a culture of waste that are the real problem.
09:47Ow! Damn! What the hell was that?
09:54Uh, what are you talking about?
09:57Well, there's something weird going on. It looks open, but it's like something's blocking me.
10:06What?
10:07You've gotta be bullsh-
10:08You see? There's something there.
10:13There's something there.
10:27Ignore the idiots outside. Just come on in. Unless you've got some funny business plan, that is. Otherwise, you're golden.
10:37You get out here? Holler if you need anything.
10:59Whoa. What is that?
11:06The words you're looking for are so sick.
11:09A lot of folks on the ground got an art itch they need to scratch. But a lot of folks don't much like art.
11:16Legend has it, Canvas Town was founded to give creative types somewhere to scratch their itch, however they want it.
11:23It gets more painted every time I'm here. This place sure loves living up to its name.
11:28Corvus told me once that back in the day, people used to call it the City of Art.
11:33Looks like you've got some paint on you, Delmen.
11:35So wait, are we here just to see art?
11:40No. We're here to see a certain someone who makes art. The Cleaners Artist Associate, remember?
11:47He's gotta tag us up, cause we're gonna need all the protection we can get.
11:52How's that even work?
11:54Ugh, you had to ask.
12:00Okay, here. Let's say that he wanted to negate one attack on this wall.
12:05It's like, that vibe, or feeling, he puts it into his art and makes it a thing.
12:10Hm, it's pretty much like that.
12:13Remember the gate? How something was keeping those two dipsticks out?
12:17Well, that's because our giver friend drew the spell, don't let no punks who wanna start something inside the city, all along the outside wall, keeping out the riffraff.
12:26And now Riff and Raff's nasty plans will never come together.
12:30Sounds like his power's just whatever he wants.
12:33Yeah, kinda. Thing is, it's not his. His instrument's a rare breed. It's actually been handed down-
12:40Whoa, sorry. You okay?
12:46Yeah, you made the kid cry.
13:01Engine made a kid cry!
13:03No, I just... the shit.
13:06I wasn't expecting you all to get here so soon.
13:09Mm-hmm.
13:11Hey, hey, Mr. Mayor! What a surprise!
13:15Thought we might find you in your house like usual.
13:19We were just about to go hit up Job. Know where he's hanging out today?
13:24Who's Job?
13:26So you haven't heard.
13:29Job's no longer with us. He died this morning.
13:35I'm trying to find the right wall for this sick piece I got.
13:40I'm trying to find the right wall for this sick piece I got.
13:45What happened?
13:48Pollution poisoning.
13:49Job was compelled to follow his inspiration wherever it led. And more than once it led him straight into a polluted zone. I'm sure he went maskless more often than not. He'd get so wrapped up in his art he'd forget.
14:03I reminded him. Time and again I told that fool to wear his mask.
14:22I'll show you when I was in your bed.
14:26I'm gonna wake you up.
14:28I'm not even wondering if you have any sense of thele.
14:31You're not sure.
14:32Oh, okay.
14:33I'm gonna get a Snap to the Earth I got.
14:35Don't worry.
14:36No, I'm not sure it's not.
14:37Oh, no.
14:38I'm not sure.
14:39Never seen a genius at work?
14:41You're about to.
14:42I'm about to. Guys like Job get something in their heads and there's no stopping them till it's out.
15:01I'm sorry, Engine. This isn't how I wanted anyone to find out about him.
15:06It's fine. It's not like there's a good way, you know.
15:09You really shouldn't let this bother you.
15:13It's a rather boring cause of death here.
15:18You should know. Job's had his successor picked out for a while.
15:24It's a small relief knowing his vital instrument will be passed on.
15:28It's how it works. The user chooses who will inherit it.
15:41Don't know if there's any rhyme or reason to who they choose. Maybe it's just about skill. I like to think it's something deeper than all that.
15:51Regardless. Once it's been passed on, the pen awakens the inheritor's powers as a giver. And they become the spellcaster of Canvas Town, with all the responsibilities that come with it.
16:03I'm sorry I should have introduced you by now. This is Remlin Sark, the artist that Job appointed to become the next spellcaster.
16:12They're quite exceptional. Being chosen to inherit this pen is proof of that fact. It's just... I'm not sure it's wise.
16:22The spellcaster is very much the voice of Canvas Town. It seems unfair to place such immense pressure on someone so young.
16:32Not to mention inheriting such a power.
16:42Huh?
16:43It's backwards. The time and care it takes to become a giver prepares you for it.
16:48But not every giver's had that kind of preparation.
16:51Long as you have the potential, you can become a giver. You just need to touch a vital instrument.
16:57Granted, the instrument needs to be of high enough quality.
17:02Zanka says that aptitude plays a part, but it's still just gaining power without understanding.
17:08Heady musings aside, a vital instrument that can be passed on isn't exactly common.
17:14That's true.
17:17So instruments can be inherited.
17:20Sorry, man. I know you're busy. But you may have to wait a while on your spells.
17:26You focus on you and yours now. We're not in any rush.
17:31Job meant a lot to us all, but for Remlin, they were thick thieves, family.
17:37It's such a tragedy. It's so sudden.
17:42Job brought us so much joy and now he's gone. And it feels like joy is too.
17:53He loved making art. Whether by request or just for him. I'm not an artist. I don't see the world in the way they do.
18:01That's why I became the mayor of Canvastown. To protect those who see wonder all around them.
18:10I get it.
18:16Job would just appear at HQ and tag wherever he wanted with whatever he wanted. Then he'd dip to go tag up something else.
18:25Always smiling like he got away with something. I think I'll miss that the most.
18:30Speaking of dipping, we should probably get out of your hair now.
18:42All right. Again, I'm sorry.
18:46Bye, Remlin. See you around. We'll hang out another day. Till then.
19:03I'm done!
19:10I'm so done! Screw this!
19:13No more crap vibes!
19:17Let's party!
19:33Uh, Remlin?
19:49I had this thought. Job dying hurts something fierce. And everything sucks. But he's got an afterlife to live. He can't get his freak on while we're crying. So I'm done.
20:03Y'all ready for this?!
20:06I don't know.
20:36Let's go.
21:06Let's take it!
21:30For you, Job, we're gonna do it big.
21:36I'm truly sorry, Yenjin.
21:44It looks like you still won't be getting your spells for a while.
