Traversing the Worlds: 2

[thekingofkamenriders]

[Action A: 7135 Brooks, locked to housemates and possibly Marvelous and Ambrosia.]

[Tsukasa hasn't had a happy morning thus far. In fact, it could be said that he was in a lot of pain right now, due to the rum from the bonfire that Ambrosia threw the night before. He shouldn't have drank anything, but...well, he had to prove a point. What that point was, who knows.]

I'm going to kill both of them. I mean it.

[Its great to have friends, isn't it?]

[Action B: MacCready & Son's Law Firm]

Look, I just think that John needs to get his dog to stop going on my lawn. Is that so much to ask, Mister Kadoya? I may have to utilize your services soon if it doesn't stop.

[There is a click and a whirr, the drone blinking slightly as Tsukasa puts down his camera.]

Well, if you ever decide to do so, be sure and come back.

[As the drone leaves, Tsukasa just lays his head down on the desk, still suffering from the effects of a hangover. This day couldn't get any worse.]

[Action C: Around Mayfield]

[Tsukasa had lived through the hangover and the boring day at work, but now is the time to finally do what he really wanted to do: Walk around and take pictures. If anyone would like to be his subjects, they just need to talk to him!]

Action B:

[ooeeooahah]

{ After the drone client leaves, one of the secretaries walks in, putting a glass of water and a packet of bicarbonate tablets on his desk. ]

Next time, you might want to consider drinking more water with the whiskey.

Re: Action B:

[thekingofkamenriders]

[Tsukasa just looks up, kind of unhappily.]

Thanks. And it was rum. Never take a drink from a pirate. If I ever do again, promise me that you'll hit me.

[ooeeooahah]

Tch, you ought to know better than to take on the professionals.

[ She shakes her head. ]

Especially when they're drinking their own stuff.

[ first action! ]

[outlandished]

[ 'sup, Tsukasa? Guess what good neighbors do? If you guessed just waltz in like they own the place, you're right! In fact, she's just gonna hover over your shoulder for a bit. ]

If th' Navy hasn't hanged me yet, what makes ye think ye can, love?

[ A beat, and: ]

Oh, here. Take this. It'll help fer yer hangovers.

[ She hands him a small bottle of medication that she uses when she gets staggeringly drunk herself. ]

Re: [ first action! ]

[thekingofkamenriders]

Because I doubt that any of the naval officers have tried to take over the multiverse.

[He looks at Ambrosia, not happy at all, then down at the medication that she gives him. He puts the stuff in his mouth and drinks it with his tea.]

Thanks. You could have warned me about that stuff.

[outlandished]

Well, ain't we somethin', Mr. Kadoya~. Just go right in here, talkin' 'bout takin' over th' multiverse like it ain't a big deal 'n all. My, I should be wary around ye, aye?

[ This is all said with a friendly jab to the side. Hey, you're part of her "family" now. ]

'N why'd I do tha'? It's more fun t' do things tha' require a risk.

[Action 1: Outside-style!]

[sumofallreds]

[Marvelous is enjoying his second sick day. The semi-hangover definitely helped fool the drone. But instead of the ship, Marvelous is taking the yard in, the almost-sterile fresh air invigorating his lungs. He spots Tsukasa outside, and goes to bug him a bit.]

Mornin' neighbor. How's the head treating you?

Re: [Action 1: Outside-style!]

[thekingofkamenriders]

[Tsukasa staggers out of the house, and he affixes Marvelous with a death glare of some sort...or as near as he could muster.]

I'm never drinking again.

[Until the next time, of course, because he HAS to match marvelous in every case.]

Re: [Action 1: Outside-style!]

[sumofallreds]

I told you not to do so much without much experience. You got cocky and now you're payin' for it.

[This was highly amusing...even with his own headache blaring.]

[canhasfuhrer]

[A photographer? In Mayfield? It's something fascinating in both it's peculiarity and regularity that Roy can't help but approach the guy]

Trying to capture something in particular? Or just bored?

[thekingofkamenriders]

[Tsukasa lazily looks at the man who addressed him. He points the camera, winding the film. He'll give the man a few seconds to pose, should he desire to, and then press the button. Click, whir. You're now one of his subjects!]

It's my destiny to capture everything in the world on film, no matter how large or small the world.

[canhasfuhrer]

[Roy's not above smiling for the camera, though he doesn't go so far as to actually pose beyond that]

Everything in the world? That seems like quite the task. 'Everything' is about the most encompassing term I can think of.

C: Around Mayfield

[queen_of_swords]

Taking more pictures? Maybe we should put you on information gathering, too.

Re: C: Around Mayfield

[thekingofkamenriders]

[Click, whir. It's probably a sound that has become familiar to Olivier when around Tsukasa.]

Perhaps. I'm still not sure how my pictures will turn out on this world, though. They're not always...correct. The worlds reject me.

Re: C: Around Mayfield

[queen_of_swords]

[She sighs at the sound of the camera working.]

If I find those up anywhere...[She just trails off, knowing she won't unless the town is messing with him in some way.]

But your pictures would be good for keeping files on people. If they turn out, that is. What goes wrong with them?

[last_to_kneel]

[Varon finished putting the final touches on the camera that he promised to build for Tsukasa about a week, but he hasn't seen him around to give it to him. He decides now would be a good time to try to find him. He didn't think to bring it to the bonfire since it was something personal and he didn't want word getting around that he can build things and become overwhelmed.

His hunch is right this time. Seeing the man that he only spoke to briefly, he stops and produces the camera from his back pack.]

I think this is yours. Look it over an' tell me what you think.

[The wood housing is stylized with a burned etched hawk on the side and varnished to a nice, smooth finish in red wood.]

Been wonderin' where you were hidin'.

[He smirks.]

Re: C

[thekingofkamenriders]

[That voice sounds familiar, and Tsukasa looks up at Varon.]

Ah, hello Varon.

[He takes the camera and turns it over. Smiling a bit as he does so.]

That...that looks very good. It's nice to have another Twin-Lens Reflex camera. Thank you.

[This is a rare moment for Tsukasa. He's, well, happy.]

[stupidsexydate]

You're looking a little hungover. Is that still or used to be, Kasa-chan?

Re: C

[thekingofkamenriders]

I'm better now, but still hurting a little bit, Date.

C

[slave_of_suzumiya]

(Hm? A photographer?)

... What are you taking photos of?

Re: C

[thekingofkamenriders]

Everything, everyone.

[He points his camera at Kyon.]

It is my destiny to capture the entire world on film.

[Click. Whir.]

[the_end_run]

[Shepard's not a photo person; she gets enough media attention as it is from back home. So she won't be happy if he approaches her with a camera. At the moment, she's just taking a jog around Mayfield. Gotta keep fit to save the universe, you know?]

[thekingofkamenriders]

[Shepard is lucky that she caught Tsukasa taking a picture of a tree, rather than focusing on Shepard. And, that was the last picture on this roll of film, in any case.

He does notice Shepard as she's jogging around, thinking that he remembered her from that meeting at Olivier's a little while ago. He didn't introduce himself then. He'll wave at her.]

Oi!

[afterthesky]

[Sarah Jane is walking by with her robot dog by her side when she notices the young man with the camera]

Hello there.

Re: C

[thekingofkamenriders]

[Tsukasa stops and turns. He remembers that voice. He points the camera at the woman, a smirk on his face.]

Sarah Jane Smith, I presume?

[A click of the button, and the whirring of film. You and your tin dog have been captured.]

I don't know if you remember our conversation. I'm Tsukasa Kadoya.
