[Smile, Mayfield, you're on camera!

Crowe's out and about on town with a spiffy new Canon camera that he bought with some of his savings as a paper boy. After learning that Seychelles was droned now - one of the friends he's had in Mayfield the longest, and his partner in crime in the blitzball team - and that it was looking permanent, he decided to pass on practice today to try teach himself how to use this thing. He's used to digital cameras and cell phones from 2010, not these old things. It's got a bit of a learning curve, but he thinks he's getting the hang of it. As long as he keeps his fingers out of the way of the lens, that is. He's mostly in the park, but he can be found all over town taking photos of people and places that look interesting. He'll definitely stop any of his friends and ask if he can snap a shot of you, as well as any willing volunteers. Strike a pose for him?

Later in the day, despite the on-coming cold of winter, Crowe's still hanging out at the park. His schoolbag is full of books and papers, but he's currently writing in what looks to be a journal or ledger. He often stops, looking lost in thought, or as if he's trying to remember something. He'll shake his head to clear and get back to work. Care to interrupt?]

regains, hoozah!

[He snaps a few more photos of the trees, but gives up since most are missing their leaves now. When he turns around, he sees some blonde hair and a telltale curl peeking out from that bush.]


....Norway?

<sub>[SILENCE.

Maybe if he doesn't say anything he wont get caught further.]</sub>

[perfektsymmetry.livejournal.com]

[......heee.

He sneaks over and pokes that conspicuous curl poking out of the bush.]

[russefeiring.livejournal.com]

<sub>Nngh...

[T-That kind of tickled. MUST. STAY. QUIET.]</sub>

[perfektsymmetry.livejournal.com]

[He can't help but grin at this. You're trying to hide from a stealth master, here.]

You could use some lessons on the art of hiding, I think.

[Pokes that curl again for good measure. Got. You!]

[russefeiring.livejournal.com]

_{[Here Crowe, have this look.]}

I'm just rust--aah--! C-Careful, you.

[perfektsymmetry.livejournal.com]

[He snickers.]

If you're thinking you can hide from me, think again. What on earth are you doing, anyway?

[russefeiring.livejournal.com]

...Enjoying the scenery?

_{[Well, it was half of the truth!]}

[perfektsymmetry.livejournal.com]

Right.

Are you going to come out of there so I can add your photo to the collection, then? [He holds up the camera, looking hopeful.]

[russefeiring.livejournal.com]

My what? _{[Focused on that camera faster than flies on a Viking before bath day.]}

[perfektsymmetry.livejournal.com]

Ah, I guess this would be new to you too. [He's had to explain this thing to people a lot today.]

Ah. It's a camera. It takes photographs. You point it at whatever you want to take a photo of, and hit this button, and it records it on the film inside. Once the film's full, I'll get the photos developed. Um, I think that's the best way I can explain it.

[russefeiring.livejournal.com]

Sorry.

So that's how those small paintings are made? I was wondering about that.

[perfektsymmetry.livejournal.com]

Yeah! Here, I've got an idea.

[Better than just taking your photo himself, he flags over a drone passing by and asks him to take a picture of the two of them. Pleasant drone obliges, and Crowe turns back to Norway.]

Ah. So just, stand here. And... smile, I guess? [Hopeful look!]

_{[asdfghjkl;']}

W-Wha--?

[russefeiring.livejournal.com]

_{[Oh, fine--You're lucky he likes you, Crowe. Getting him to smile on command is like pulling teeth for other people. A real smile, anyways.]}

[perfektsymmetry.livejournal.com]

[He thought it might be asking a lot, but he'll be thrilled when he sees the picture. He thanks the drone, and takes the camera back. He looks pretty pleased.]

Thanks. Once I get them developed, I'll be sure to show you. I've been taking a lot today, really.

[russefeiring.livejournal.com]

...S'the first time I've had one taken, I think.

_{[Of the ones he remembers anyways. He's got a book back home that he was starting with Denmark during his previous stay shoved under his bed.]}

[perfektsymmetry.livejournal.com]

Then I'll make sure you get a copy then, if you'd like.

I'm trying to take photos as of many people I can. I wish I had thought of it sooner. I want to have a record of the people who come in and out of this town, since they come and go so fast sometimes...

[russefeiring.livejournal.com]

I'd like that.

...I think I have one of Denmark if you want one of him for a record.

[perfektsymmetry.livejournal.com]

Ah, really? That's a good idea. I didn't think to ask people if they had any spares for the collection. If you're okay with sharing it, sure. I'd be glad to include it.

[russefeiring.livejournal.com]

If you don't mind half of them where he's asleep, I'd be happy to give one.

[perfektsymmetry.livejournal.com]

…Asleep? [O…kay.]
