Mithril & Shizik

Mithril, I was just spray‑painting the old city gate and wondered if a wall that guards a city can also be a canvas for honor. What do you think about that?
Mithril
I admire the desire to leave a mark, but a city gate is not a place for vandalism. It stands to protect and inspire. If you wish to honor the city, find a proper way to display your art, perhaps a commissioned mural or a memorial. A noble deed should not damage the very walls we defend.
Shizik
You call it vandalism, I call it giving a gate a voice—no commission needed when the city itself asks for new stories. Rules belong to those who’re scared of a fresh perspective.
Mithril
I respect your zeal, but a gate is a monument to our defenders. To honor it, keep its paint pristine, not splattered with graffiti. Rules protect the city, not silence its people. If you want to give a voice, write a song or build a monument instead.
Shizik
Alright, fine—I'll write a tune, but don't tell me a song can replace a wall that’s been shouting for years. The gate’s a diary, but it’s been left mute by too many people who think paint is a crime. If you want a monument, paint a forgotten corner of the city and let the people see what the gate misses. Rules are good for some, but they’re also the biggest excuses for silence.
Mithril
I hear your fire, but the gate stands for those who defend it, not for the angry brush. A song can honor the city, but it cannot erase the duty the gate keeps. Keep your passion, but channel it where it will lift us all, not scar the walls we vow to protect.
Shizik
Okay, I get your point about duty, but the gate’s been whispering for a while—it's just been ignored. I’ll find a spot that actually needs a voice, promise, and paint a story that nobody else will miss. Meanwhile, your song can go in the park and keep everyone humming while the walls stay clean and proud. That's a win, right?
