[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?]

[He'll eventually turn your way, with you in the sights, but then he stops, and sort of gives you a little wave instead.]

Uh-huh bed...

[chaos nods in greeting]

New toy?

[He sort of indicates the camera with one hand]

i-i'm trying!! D:

Ah, yes. Giving it a go. I have to admit these things are a bit... out of date to me, but it's not too hard to learn.

haha... insomnia?

[chaos nods a little at the response]

Depending on the time you came from, it could get confusing.

a nightowl with a dayjob T_T

Oh, well, I'm from 2010, so I'm used to digital cameras and the like... my father had an old one he was fond of though, but that was a Polaroid from the 80s, I believe. A bit different.

Oof... I remember doing that...

[chaos nods again]

Quite so. I'm even farther ahead and most of our stuff is combined into various gadgets. Even glasses can be used as a recording device.

Wow, that's pretty cool. Sounds like spy gadgets. Ah, may I ask what year you're from?

Way into the future. Over four-thousand years.

[He looks stunned.] Four thousand? That's... that's incredible!

[chaos chuckles]

Yes. Quite some ways ahead, as you can tell.

A-Amazing... things must be so different for you. Transitioning 60 years into the past has been strange enough for me, I can't imagine transitioning over millenia.

Date: 2010-11-30 02:49 am (UTC)
From: [identity profile] chaoschildofgod.livejournal.com
Sort of...

[chaos is actually not that bothered by the transition, but there's no reason to say that to Crowe.]

Not that Mayfield is the best example of the time period. I-I suppose technology-wise it is, but everything else is such an extreme here...

From: [identity profile] chaoschildofgod.livejournal.com
[chaos nods]

The technology seems accurate. The problem lies in the fact that there are both supernatural forces here that did not exist at that time, and the fact that the people, or drones as they are called, act like the stereotype of this era, and nothing more.

There's just a lot wrong with Mayfield on the whole. The list goes on and on.

From: [identity profile] chaoschildofgod.livejournal.com
True. Yet they link back to the same concepts.

[There's a short pause, and if Crowe is anywhere near observant, he'll hear a very faint sigh from chaos. But chaos afterwards smiles again.]

So is there anything about the camera you do not understand? I believe they weren't so hard once you learned to use them.

Date: 2010-11-30 04:44 am (UTC)
From: [identity profile] perfektsymmetry.livejournal.com
Mm, I think I'm getting the hang of it. Just have to make sure I keep my hands out of the way of the lens... I can't even think of how many pictures I've ruined today.

So what do yo say? Can I take a photo of you for the record books?

Date: 2010-11-30 04:47 am (UTC)
From: [identity profile] chaoschildofgod.livejournal.com
[chaos chuckles softly]

I'm not very photogenic. But if you wish to take a picture, it's fine.

From: [identity profile] perfektsymmetry.livejournal.com
I'm trying to make sure I get everyone I can. In this town, you might not know what will happen tomorrow.

Smile! [Snap!]

[Hope Crowe isn't expecting anything more than chaos' usual smile, because that's all he'll get before the white-haired man nods.]

Yes. This place is peculiar and loves bringing people in and out, doesn't it?

Date: 2010-11-30 05:08 am (UTC)
From: [identity profile] perfektsymmetry.livejournal.com
[He nods a bit.] Yeah. And I've missed so many people so far. I don't want to fall behind.

Good luck, then. I hope you manage your goal.
