WHAT in person
WHERE in the park
WHEN 61, daylight hours

[WHO LIKES SCRAP-BOOKING.

Hopefully you, because there are a lot of park tables out today, and they are covered with colorful paper, safety scissors, ribbon, and large binders.

And also Polaroid(TM) cameras.

The implication might be that you should take a picture of your friends and make some memories, sure that MIGHT work, but most likely what will happen is when you hold it up to your face the camera will replay your memories and you can click the shutter as many times as you want to capture that moment forever on film.

Of course, what memories you see is a bit... up in the air. Some cameras seem to faithfully play whatever you have on mind, others have a more specific focus: sexy memories, traumatic memories, humiliating memories... These independently minded/POSSESSED cameras are also likely to print photos regardless of anyone else's opinion on the matter.

The photos THEMSELVES appear to be pretty normal, at least.

Also, it's still fall, the wind is still a bit blustery. Make sure nothing embarrassing flies off.]

[Orga has figured this shit out and is already going to town. Thanks to youtube videos, mostly. He has a pile of photos held down by a rock to survive the occasional gust of wind, and is in the process of making a stencil of Tekkadan's logo out of heavy stock paper. An open binder is in front of him, a few photos have been glued inside and framed with colorful paper.

He seems, all in all, pRETTY DELIGHTED.

feel free to bother him.]

[fastandloose]

...Looks like you've got quite a project goin' on there.

[she clearly has no idea what he's doing]

[ghostfromthemachine]

[ oh, yes, she is here for this. it's time for all her hard work and practice with her cell phone camera to pay off—

or at least that's what she thought until she'd picked one of the cameras up to fiddle with it. now— well, there's a mangled wreck of a camera a few feet away and some ripped shreds of paper that she clearly had absolutely nothing to do with, which is why she's got her back pointedly turned on it as she cautiously squints through the lens of another. ]

Why are things like this always so rude...

[selfidentitytheft]

What's up with them?

[he hasn't touched them. what does he need a polaroid for, he has a phone???]

[mindinthegittern]

What's all this...?

[supraliminally]

[You might run into Yukari sitting on a bench near the lake. She's got a stack of photos developing in a pile next to her, and is just sort of periodically taking selfies with one of those weird spooky cameras.

Alternatively, if you're not the sort of person who bothers random strangers, you might hear a shutter click from right behind you.]

[keijournal]

[leaning over the bench to investigate her photos without even asking very rude honestly.]

[ghostfromthemachine]

[ —SQUEAKS and fluffs up like a startled cat ]

—excuse you!

[clocked_out]

[Dave is sitting kind of off and away with a camera. There are a few photos in his lap and a small pile next to him of photos that appear to have been torn into pieces. He is focusing on the camera a lot, like he's fine tuning for a perfect shot.]

[keijournal]

[coming over and sitting next to him.]

[agoodnoe]

[ SOMEONE was allowed near the shiny new toys and looks absolutely ecstatic as he holds a camera against his face, peering through the hole. ]

My, I've never had the opportunity to see my own memories!

[ Someone teach this boy how to hold a camera so that it won't leave imprints on his face. ]

[wrongstory]

I’m glad someone is enjoying this.

[giving100percent]

You like it?

[giving100percent]

[who knows what mob just saw but he is putting this camera and some photos into a trash can]

[selfidentitytheft]

Not a fan?

[rightwingman]

[he's only taken one picture, but]

Look! Look, it made a copy! That quickly!

[anoceanaway]

[muttering to himself, sleeves rolled up as he methodically takes apart one of the cameras]

[. . . he also has an possibly-recognizable new tattoo on his hand]

[batonnet]

[He materializes suddenly right next to Waver. Not that he's difficult for a magus to notice, even as an Assassin-class spirit. He's not good at the class skills part of Assassin.]

This is called reverse engineering, isn't it?

[cw_suicide]

[... that awkward moment when everyone seems pretty stoked for this thing but you're just staring at your camera like the world has decided to betray you in the worst way possible.

for half a second.

WELP, TIME TO GET DRUNK.]

[2beautiful2live]

[alternatively: your boyfriend notices you and waves you over. lOOK HIS TABLE IS FULL don't make him move]

[defendless]

[zeno bounces up to a camera, looks in the sight and

it starts printing photos non-stop in a rapidfire stream of flying polaroids, even after he lowers it.]

Aah, seriously...

[ghostfromthemachine]

Ah— here, I've got it—

[ makes an attempt to catch them? which is not the easiest since she's also very obviously avoiding looking at them ]

None of the inanimate objects around here have any manners, honestly.

[inhibiting]

Oh &mdash oh no, stop that — wait!

[ anyway her camera is just spewing a number of photos -- a pretty punk looking tall redhead woman with blood splatters all over her tee carrying of all things a nailbat, a sullen looking dark haired teen, some older blonde guy just barely smiling, a much older woman leaning over a dead body???? ]

[leaveshishaton]

[Catching a couple of the photos before they can get blown off]

Oi, careful.

[dominitrix]

[ Domi's got this picture in her hand.

And blushing. ]

Oh. Well, that's interesting.

[leaveshishaton]

[Peaking at what she's got, then snorting]

Eeh..? You've had it bad for a long time, huh?

[thatsoundsfakebutokay]

...

[Scully tries one camera, crumples the photo that comes out and shoves it deep into her pocket, then digs a foldable shopping bag out of her purse and starts collecting as many cameras as can fit. This upstanding community science teacher is definitely shoving upwards of a dozen Polaroid cameras into a sack and absconding to the apartments with them. This is fine.]

[blowurmind]

Woah, for a thief you're pretty bad at being sneaky.

[tytosmima]

"Camera"...? I've never seen this before.

[ turning one this way and that, peering through it curiously ]

[hailstormed]

[ he was looking at a camera when it went off in his face and he jumped, dropping it.

so now it's on the ground with a photo printed and he's staring at it like it's fucking haunted. (it is. probably.) ]

[wrongstory]

[gently turning him away from that 8|;;]

Oh. Pray don’t pay it any mind...

[dracoclaw]

[ a. She is timidly taking a photo, dropping the photograph onto the ground. It's of a blonde girl and a piano, and she's hastily retrieving it, apologising to anyone nearby—

or b. Grea's very carefully using the scissors, stripping ribbon so that it curls before tying it neatly to some of the pages she's working on. And then she's giving up on the scissors, using a claw instead...... . . . and might be mumbling about how she wishes "she were here." ]

[kimaris]

[ Wow who knew looking at a camera would be such a bad idea.

The "bad idea" being a blurry photo of what is probably three children, and if you're going to put 2 + 2 together, the purple haired one in the photo is probably the giant who just took the photo. He's just kind of staring at it with a weird expression, letting it drop onto a nearby table. ]
