001. video/action for new bark town

[shuttermouse]

( VIDEO; )
[ Before the video starts recording, the network is flooded by a dozen or so photographs, all of them taken in the area in and immediately outside of New Bark Town. When the video finally comes on, a girl who doesn't look a day older than twelve (spoilers: she's 21, not that you'd be able to tell that just from looking at her) is sitting in a tree with her back against the trunk. There's an Emolga lying draped across her lap, and she's idly scratching it behind the ears as she looks into the camera. ]

Sheesh, the camera function on this thing isn't good enough... The resolution is too low and the shots get grainy when I zoom in.

[ She shakes her head, a hint of disappointment showing on her face. ]

But it'll do in a pinch until I can get something better. Speaking of which, where can you buy decent cameras around these parts? I prefer digital ones, but I don't mind using classics like Instax or Polaroid as long as the film isn't too hard to come by.

[ Well, it seems like somebody here has her priorities exactly in order. From the looks of it, she seems more bothered about not having a decent camera on her person than the whole interdimensional kidnapping thing. She pauses briefly to wait for the Emolga to climb up onto her shoulder and settle itself there, before she continues. ]

Anyway, I've got another question. It seems like I've got two choices here - the ferry heading east, or the forest route to the west leading to... Cherryville? I don't know, I haven't memorized the names on the map yet. Which did you choose? I haven't made up my mind yet, and I'd like to know more so I can pick the more interesting option.

( ACTION; )
[ Anyone in New Bark may run into the tiny girl wandering about with her Emolga hovering in the air just a few feet away. Once in a while she stops to use her Gear to take a picture of whatever captured her interest at that moment; you can find her snapping pictures of the water by the docks, or she's crouching down to take a picture of some stones she found on the ground, or maybe she's even taking pictures of any fellow new arrival who happens to be nearby. ]

[...You know, normally he actually takes some time to think before he responds to any of the newcomers here, but there's a time for thought and there's a time for HOLY SHIT YES and now is currently the latter.]

You know, I was just wondering recently if you would arrive here soon - and here you are! Like you were summoned out of the aether, really, it's wonderful.

It's good of you to join me, Hori, had it taken you any longer I'd start thinking you didn't like me anymore.

[SORRY WERE THERE QUESTIONS HE THINKS THERE MAY HAVE BEEN QUESTIONS BUT WHO CARES]

Hey, what are you doing?

[Hope you don't mind being interrupted! The voice comes from a tiny, green-haired girl who is... probably taller than Chie, actually. She's currently wearing a Dratini draped around her shoulders like some kind of really long, living boa, but perhaps even more interesting than that is her absolutely horrible outfit. She sounds curious and her head is tipped slightly to the side as she tries to figure out what the other girl's doing.]

I went west. I can't really say how the other side is since I've never been there, but I haven't had a bad time in Johto.

_{[...Well, there was that time with the Goomy in the cave he had to sleep in, but that was a one time thing!]}

I can't remember if Cherrygrove sells cameras at their stores though... It's been ages since I've been there, let alone worked there. If anything I think Violet might have them because of the ruins nearby.

Most people head west. There's a magnet train over here that can take you east, if you have enough money for it.

[.......]

Nice photos, by the way...

[Oh, he's noticed that conversation up there, though Banjou isn't the type to butt into the conversation, most of all because it's not really his business and he doesn't understand it anyway.

...but he has to ask.

It's not like he's going to be asking anything inappropriate but he's going to cover his ass in advance.]

You... know Tsukiyama-san?

[esthetically]

Cameras? I believe there is a store in Goldenrod that specializes in electronics. It's probably your best bet. But with that, you'd want to take the route heading west, as opposed to the ferry. There may be a store in that region, but I can't speak from experience.

[From the rather rich description (and rich is putting it lightly) of Chie that he'd been given, it isn't hard for Kaneki to recognize her right off. Her talk of cameras is another giveaway, and once Tsukiyama speaks with her it all but confirms who she is. It's a little strange to think about her showing up so soon...he can't help but wonder if this is just a huge coincidence, or whatever brought them here was listening somehow. ...it's probably the former.

Either way, he waits a little while before trying to talk to her.]

I haven't tried taking many photos with the 'Gear myself...but they don't really seem so bad to me.

[Oh, a photographer? Envy knows a photographer!]

I don't know where you can get good cameras, but I know someone who does. How much of a difference does it make, though?

I'd bet on Goldenrod or Saffron for anything like that, though. Those're the bigger cities.

I chose to head over to Cherrygrove at first, but it should be of little consequence if you should change your mind a few weeks later. If you head up north-ish in both regions there's a train connecting two of their cities together, so if you want to head on over to Kanto from there, you'll be good to go!

...um, as long as you have a pass, of course, but those usually aren't too hard to find.

Anyway.

It's a few weeks on foot, but the shops in Goldenrod would probably have some cameras you could buy. I wouldn't know, though. The preservation of minute instances of time is something I never really learned.
