[A - 2239 Stevens]

[Hajime goes out to get the mail this morning, and, to his surprise, there are two small packages addressed to him. He knows others have been getting things back from home, so he quickly takes them inside, parks himself at the kitchen table, and opens them up to take a look. At this point, he's not too worried about any potential disastrous effects from his packages--he's already gotten back the worst of what he could regain.

The first, slightly heavier envelope, contains an assortment of odd-looking playing cards. He's clearly pleased as he flips through them; he almost has all of his cards back now. Only the Royal Undead are missing, and as far as he can remember, he never had the King to begin with... The second envelope was roughly the same size, and he's assuming the remaining two cards are in there.

To his surprise, a photograph slides out. He kind of locks up when he sees it; this is really the first he's seen of his adoptive family since he came to Mayfield, and this picture in particular is rather important to him. He likely won't notice anyone coming into the room for a bit and is ripe to be surprised.

[B - John Doe Park]

[Hajime is spending a rather quiet afternoon out in the park. He'll be out through the early evening. You might find him out and about photographing things. He might also be seated on a park bench, changing the film in his camera or examining the cards and photograph he just regained.]

[it isn't often he sees people taking pictures of anything in town, so he stops on his way through the park to watch the stranger for a few moments before piping up.]

Are you a photographer, or simply looking for something?

I see. Don't you find the scenery here to be a little... lacking, as far as inspiration goes?

[a genuine question; most of the novelty Mayfield had to offer wore off after about a year for him. there isn't much of anything he'd find particularly photograph-worthy.]

Sensible, I suppose. [but scenery aside, that gives him an idea.] You ought to try taking pictures the next time the town starts acting up.

[oh right, that whole 'trying to survive' thing people did... one shoulder lifts in a nonchalant semi-shrug.]

It was just a suggestion to keep in mind. There is a surprising amount of rest time in between attacks, injuries or death in most cases.

Most around here don't adapt well to anything. [which is just his humble opinion, but one he'd stick by since his opinion of the town on a whole is pretty low.]

Everyone would agree that the occasional break is nice, though.

You should hear the amount of complaining done on a regular basis. [even though it's all valid complaining since nearly every change in Mayfield is for the worse, and he complains too.

another somewhat lazy shrug.]
But that much is true. It's almost more irritating that they throw the breaks in, to be honest. It's such a pain, getting used to boring town life and having it thrown off again repeatedly.
encored: (so very much to learn)

[personal profile] encored 2012-07-27 05:23 am (UTC)(link)
While the complaining is tedious, what else can they do?

[he shifts to rest his hands against his hips, arching a brow in clear amusement.] Yes, it's certainly a bit of variety. I'm certain everyone appreciates the mixed bag of life and death here.

Calling it an irritation may be a bit of an understatement in the eyes of some. [which would include him if he happened to be honest with himself, which isn't the case.]

Is that so? These past few months have been some of the quietest that I can remember.
encored: (no demands)

Do you come from a busy lifestyle? [there's a marginally uninterested but semi-polite note curiosity behind his question] The difference would be striking for someone like that, I'd imagine.

[he watches in silence for a moment, at least marginally interested in the art of photography. when he speaks up again, there's a vague sort of disinterest in his tone.]

Well, don't get too comfortable with the down time. The slew of new arrivals seems an ill omen to me.

For your own sake, I do hope that isn't an exaggeration.

[he shifts his weight so he's balanced on the tips of his toes for a moment before setting them flat against the ground again, seemingly ready to carry on with his walk.] --Ah, your name?

[the look certainly isn't missed, though he doesn't address it with anything outside of a vaguely amused smile.]

Excellent. All too often, people find themselves struggling here because they aren't. [he inclines his head forward just slightly in greeting.] My name is Charles.

An unavoidable truth. [his nose wrinkles for a moment like he's displeased with something, but it doesn't last long.]

Well, I'm going to finish my walk. If you'd ever like to photograph a more interesting landscape [understatement of the century] feel free to stop by my house. I'm at 767 Bunker Street. There are several large rose bushes and a bull in the front lawn, you can't miss it.
