Now It's Home - Video/Action

Video/Action

Kaitou.

I opened up an archway in Attleton. I got the house back, come take a look to see if I missed anything.

Don't worry, nothing of value was missed. So far.

[He sacrificed World of Gaim memories and the Sea Cucumber joke.]

Action

Now that it was somewhat warming up, Tsukasa is out and about, taking photographs of people for a moderate amount. His work is... undeniably avant garde. Maybe a picture here and there will be of use, but it's really strange how the people in the photographs seem to leap off the page.

His home is open too. If you enter thinking it was X, it is in fact a photo studio.

[Shi has been doing his part to explore the various areas in search of a job. He's usually very cautious too: He knows better than to touch anything that might explode from bad luck, or break, or become dangerous. This also means that he notices that camera.

And, given that Shi has an honest fear that camera can seal his spirit, that means that he shrieks and takes a yards' worth of steps away.]

B-Be careful with that...!!!

[Noticing Shi coming up the walk, he looked up with a quizzical arched eyebrow.]

Oi, Shi, something wrong?

P-Please don't take my soul!

[Shi is looking for something to hide behind! He just... doesn't have the heart to risk the souls of even a trash can in exchange for his safety. So he's just standing there, looking dumb and panicked.]

I don't want to be in a photograph forever!

You're not making any sense. It's just a camera.

We're not in a world that can do that.

[Kids.]

B-But...!

[He still looks terrified. It would only take one click of the camera to potentially kill him..!]

Don't they say ghosts can be caught on camera...?

First I've heard of it. And it wouldn't make sense for a ghost to be capturable on film.

For one, there's security cameras in buildings. What do you do with those?

What?

[things he never considered: that.]

A-Auu... Th-That... oh no... The poor spirits that just want to go home...

Cheer up. I don't think it's an issue here.

[What a weird thing to worry about.]

I guess not, huh...?

[His shoulders slump. This is as close as he will get to cheered up.]

Ever since I got here, I feel like everything I thought I knew is turning out to be wrong... I must seem so stupid...

That whole line of thought is pretty bothersome though. You'll probably worry yourself sick if you went to Nova.

You're not stupid, just unaware of the scene.

Hah. Nova...

[He had been so mesmerized by the sights that he forgot to look out for cameras...! Ugh. He just feels more like an idiot.]

... What are you doing with a camera, though? Do you take pictures, like Ms Yagami?

I'm good at everything, but I will capture the entire world in my lens. For there is nothing I can't do.

[Except take pictures.]

Wow... So you take photograph for magazines and stuff? I like photos of different places.

More or less. Everything is my subject in this world.

[And he carelessly snapped a picture of a tree.]

[That sounded like something an artist would say...! Shi is sold. Tsukasa is still the coolest person ever.

In contrast, Shi knows he's cowardly. He wants to change that, so... Why not take the first step and conquer a fear today?]

Hey, um... C-Can I see what your camera looks like? I've never seen one up close.

Sure, you can.

[Unhooking it from around his neck, he offered up the pink camera over to Shi to look at.]

Shutter's on the lens. And it's a top-down view.

[It is probably embarrassingly clear that Shi is terrified of the camera, even now. But he's determined not to drop it or curse it. He just looks at it curiously, then tests the view.]

Whoa... Everything looks different through the camera...! Cameras have different eyesight... That's amazing! Is it hard to take nice photos?

[After the whole Ice Queen thing, Lucky's just trying to work through the memories of it, laying on a picnic table with Caesar napping (or whatever could approximate a nap for him) on his chest.]

Not really. You just have to have skill at it. Just give it a try if you're willing.

[Walking up to Lucky, he took a picture before nudging him.] Hey.

Hey get up. You're napping in front of my house.

M'not napping.

[moving to pick Caesar up, he sits up and sets his pet in his lap.]

I'm just...y'know, thinking about stuff.

[That he really doesn't want to think about but it wouldn't leave him alone.]

[Shi doesn't want to selfishly take any pictures. There's too high a chance of him breaking or cursing the camera. But he does grin, mostly so Tsukasa won't worry.]

I hope I can see your photos someday. I wanna know what things you capture on film.

Ah, you can see that inside the house if you want.

[His door was open, and he offered Shi a look.]

About what you did? Not surprised.

Welcome to the point in a few heroes lives where they go against every fibre of their being and just wig out.

Yeeeeeep.

[Caesar wakes up and paws at Lucky for attention, so he gets a few headpats while he's talking to Tsukasa.]

That ever happen to you?

Once. Twice maybe. I'm the destroyer of worlds for a damn good reason: I was the leader of Dai Shocker, a group of interdimensional villains.

The house...?

[He steps closer, then pauses.]

Did you rent a house, Mr Kadoya?

I opened an archway. I don't see why people are so wound up about the price, it worked out just fine for me.

One of those archways...?

Are you sure? I thought the prices were important... Are you really sure you haven't lost something important?

Nothing I won't miss. Trust me, I'm missing a part of my life I'd rather forget cause it was too stupid to be important.

Well, if you're sure... I guess nothing can be done about it now...

[Shi steps towards the door, laughing weakly.]

I wonder if they would take my curses away for an archway...? Too good to be true, I bet...

Maybe. If you want it gone, then you could do it.

But I wouldn't recommend it. I only agreed to this nonsense because I had a surplus of memories I wanted to get rid of. Fortunately they took the right ones.
