First Snap - [Video - Night time]

[chocobosnap]

[He managed waking up fine, weird pod and all, and even stranger some information about his new place. He doesn't particularly care, he'd been in an 'anywhere but here' kind of situation. His wish is granted, but as he leaves the bay, there's a monster in front of him.]

Whoa! I come to a new place and there's monsters roaming around!

[The screen goes back, stuffed into a pocket most likely and the sound of gunshots, and a bit of a scuffle.

He appears on screen with a huge grin.]

Haha! Victory!

[He hums a fairly familiar tune, at that.]

Comments

[chocobosnap]

[He smiles.]

That sounds great. I mean, that's n-nice. A frame.

[Yes, very smooth on his part]

I like having pictures. I always have.

[moviemagic]

What is it about them that you like? if you don't mind me asking.

[Because she has no idea. She understands why people do to an extent... But other than that...]

[chocobosnap]

[He rubs the back of his neck, considering that.]

I think...[His eyes open again as he looks up a bit, head resting against the wall]

I took pictures of all the nice things I liked. [He smiles.] Because I wanted to remember them. I used to have a lot of pictures of animals, honestly, but it was nice.

I couldn't put them up or anything,but I could look at them on my camera. Just...n-nice things to think about.

[moviemagic]

So it's for the memories, like the reason people use to take pictures. Now it's just selfies more often than not.

It's a nice reason at least.

[She closed her eyes even if it was for a moment.]

[chocobosnap]

I guess so? I think it was more I w-was a lonely kid, with nothing else to do. I didn't have pictures either.

[There aren't any pictures of him when he was little, not really]

I think so.

[moviemagic]

[Well that hit close to home. Her mother would choose her 'friends' when she was younger and through most of her life, so Krista never really considered them as friends. She had been aware it was a case of it would benefit them in the industry, not because they were actual friends.]

It must have sucked being a lonely kid?

[chocobosnap]

Yeah, but I'm shy so, it suited me okay. It was fine, I mean.

[He rubs the back of his head.]

I was more lonely because my family wasn't around.

[moviemagic]

As in they were never around type deal or you barely saw them because they worked too much?

[chocobosnap]

Both. I'm pretty sure they worked so much so they didn't have to deal with me.

I k-kind of wonder how they ended up adopting me in the first place.

[That's a good question, he knows why - or rather, can guess why they didn't want to stick around, but he doesn't know why they agreed in the first place, but it doesn't make him any less sad.]

[moviemagic]

Wait, wait wait. They potentially worked a lot so they didn't have to deal with you?

If that turned out to be the truth, shame of them. That's awful.

[chocobosnap]

Uh, yeah. I get it, I mean where I came from...

[Like it's his fault.]

A-Anyway, that's the only thing I wonder. Why they adopted me in the first place. I don't think I can remember a handful of things we did together. They just, let me take care of myself.

[He shrugs.] I turned out okay.

[moviemagic]

I guess that would bring about questions, why adopt a child if you are not going to take care or love them.

[It just baffled her the more she thought about it.]

But yeah, at least you came out of it okay, that's all that matters really.

[chocobosnap]

Apparently I'm from Niflheim, so I get it.

[He's from the Empire, their enemy.]

And y-yeah, I think I did. [He smiles.] I think so.

[moviemagic]

So long as you don't crave killing people or kidnapping them or hurting them, then you came out of it okay.

[Very spersific.]

[chocobosnap]

[His head snaps up at that, eyes very wide.]

W-What?! No!

[Someone as shy as him, it's hard to imagine he could be so loud.]

[moviemagic]

Then as I said you came out of it okay.

Which is good.

[chocobosnap]

Yeah.

[He shivers and hides his face into his arms.]

We should rest.
