[OPEN] Photo Wall
WHO: Any and every Outsider!
WHAT: A new addition to the base!
WHERE: One specific corner of the common area
WHEN: Starting 9/27, ongoing whenever
WARNINGS: None so far!
You might notice there's been a little bit of a hubbub in one corner of the common area, though you won't be there to see it in process. It will just be there when you least suspect it: that's right, it's a PHOTO WALL.
A digital photo display now graces the wall in the aforementioned corner, with a little note in the corner that says only please contact ice snap for group photography shots! In cute girly handwriting and little drawings of flowers.
But there's also so many photos being displayed, flashing across the screen! If March 7th has interacted with you and you haven't threatened her life in terms of having your photo taken, there are certainly photos of you up there! You may have also seen her newest protege Tezcatlipoca running around, so there are a ton of (weirdly blurry and out-of-focus) candid shots of people around the base. Like Ereshkigal fighting a bird! Godzilla in his doggy bed curled up with one of the kaiju eggs! Hunter getting caught mid-cat snuggle session! A very sexy maid! And more, including pictures of people who are no longer at the base so we can all be sad over our friends who went home!!!!
There's a place on the display for you to Submit your own pictures, through your implant or through any other photo-taking device. You can also search for anyone in particular with the Search feature!
(Keep in mind to the horny creatures out there that any sexy thirst traps or anything displaying something inappropriate can still be uploaded, but the system will automatically act to censor out the naughty bits and if that means you end up with a pink fluffy unicorn sparkling in front of your crotch, this is just what you deserve.)
Currently, there's an assortment of costumes in the nearby supply closet, in the event you want to dress up? Said costumes could be cute frilly maid outfits or a surplus of bunny costumes (for some reason) or just fun little crowns and cat ear headbands, but there'll be more holiday-centric decorations popping up as the months tick on!
So why not give the wall a glance? Share some memories? Drag someone grumpy in to take a photo with you? March 7th is never too far away...
[ ooc: Please feel free to top-level and mingle, March may or may not appear to help out unless you specifically require her services! ]

[ He retorts immediately and sharply, as he mostly interrupts Izou, but they just talk over each other, since they’re the same kind of stubborn, as it turns out. But Izou is the one armed with a deadly weapon (to his pride), so as he just brazenly continues, Tezcatlipoca’s expression just twists into one of even more offense. ]
And let you do this again? Fuck no, asshole.
[ He closes the distance to attempt to snatch the marker out of Izou’s hand, but it’ll be pretty easy to dodge, since now that he’s closer and sees exactly which one it is… It turned out really nice? At least the portion of it he can see. That makes Izou’s CRIME!!! worse, but also, Tezcatlipoca is really realizing at this moment how bad his are by comparison, which is suitably distracting enough. ]
no subject
rather than dodge, izou's grip stays latched on the marker as tezcatlipoca seeks to grab it, forcing them into a sort of stalemate.
rather, forcing me to look up their respective stats. )
You better let, GO—'afore you...
( —cause a scene, which is exactly what he's doing right now, but... haters never prosper. )
no subject
'Afore I what?
[ He parrots it back, and though Tezcatlipoca speaks coarsely himself, it's a little different than Izou's version. So. Copying his words here is definitely mocking. ]
You're the one fuckin' up perfectly good pictures.
no subject
you'd think izou could be mature and let it go, but it only serves to rile him further.
time to try something cheap.
he straight-up lets go after all that struggle to see if tezcatlipoca will topple over. )
splits the difference between a NAT20???? and a 4
But he’s nimble on his feet, so he regains his balance at the last moment, and grins toothily. He may be wise, but he’s also petty. So.
He swings that marker out like it’s a weapon across Izou’s face, naturally.
Somewhere, out in the void, Ritsuka is feeling extremely tired but unsurprised that their Servants (one tbd) are having a marker fight… ]
comes back five years later
anyhow, it's izou's lucky day for once. with a twinkle in his eye, he manages to dodge the incoming smack to his face, ducking his head under the marker swipe. tch... time to clear the air of this proverbial stand-off of theirs before it gets worse and they end up taking the whole wall down in the chaos. he thrusts a thumb backwards over his shoulder at the wall. )
How do you know her?
( they're literally ... BOTH OUTSIDERS. )
no subject
…But, luckily, the question is ridiculous enough to get him to stop. ]
What kinda question is that? She works here too.
[ The tone of his retort is very much a “DUH?” He vaguely knows what Izou is actually asking, but he has no idea why… ]
She helped me pick out a camera, if that’s what you’re getting at. Figured I’d contribute to this too. It’s a nice idea.
no subject
( shuffles his feet awkwardly, like... tch. doesn't mean you need to BE THAT CLOSE.
his idiotic prickly behavior starts to settle, though, when the obvious is said out-loud. )
Some of the ones up here are thanks to you, huh. Guess that's why half of 'em look like shit.
no subject
Fuck you. [ It’s a flat and immediate response , so… That’s a yes… ] Just got the damn thing, and it’s not easy to use.
[ Is it not… Is it really… Tezcatlipoca frowns as he looks at the handful of photos that are his, because unfortunately? These are the good ones. March had been the curator of his attempts. It’s not like he doesn’t know that they’re bad, but he’s not going to express his grievances about his uniquely bad luck either. ]
Don’t exactly see you doin’ any better. Actually, even worse, ‘cuz I bet she’ll be pissed you’re messing up her shit.
[ He may not know March all that well, sure, but he’s already seen that she’s not a pushover. ]
( 1 / 3 )
anyway. before he can capitalize on his diss, tezcatlipoca continues to point out the obvious:
that in all his stupid anger, he's essentially been on the verge of fucking up march's goodwill. as if this didn't occur to him on a deeper level, izou stiffens, his brain trying to catch up and come up with a quick solution. )
( 2 / 3 )
... a good solution ...
... tries to wipe it off with a thumb. rub, rub. )
( 3 / 3 )
How the... how the hell do you go about reprintin' these?
( says the guy who told tezcatlipoca to just reprint them himself. )
no subject
But. Nah. This is funnier, probably. ]
What, full of regret now? How do you know her?
[ He parrots the question back shittily, tone now full of Implication. Granted, they could just be friends and this would be a fine thing for Tezcatlipoca. It still makes sense to him that Izou would want to keep a friend away from someone dangerous like him.
...But he also has a feeling that Izou's the kind of guy that would react strongly at the mere idea that it was more than that, true or not. So, the chaotic impulse wins out, naturally. ]
no subject
( time to run a thumb across the bridge of his nose, while he ponders the right way to respond to this.
"because i'm seeing her" isn't exactly tezcatlipoca's business, but there's a stupid part of him that knows he can't back down. show any sort of weakness in front of this guy and he might run with it for who knows how long. well. if it were literally anyone else, things might be different. )
'Cause we're like this.
( he holds up his pinky, smug. the red string of fate. as if that's something everyone would get. )
So I know she's the type to buddy up with just about anybody. You can't blame me for havin' a knee-jerk reaction to seein' her sidled up alongside you of all people on this wall.
no subject
...Well, with Izou's concern about March buddying up with him, there's only one place his mind goes to. And unfortunately? He's shameless. ]
That mean you're fucking, or what?
no subject
( freeze-fucking-frame.
izou slaps a hand over his stupid impulsive mouth, beet-red embarrassment crawling up his face.
only to... drag it back down, mentally flashing through five stages of varying emotion as he tries not to totally lose his shit over that very blunt statement. what a reactionary creature. )
... F-... Forget it. I'll fix this shit myself.
( waves tezcatlipoca off, like. bye. )
no subject
Even if it was crude, it was a genuine question, so Izou’s earnest almost-answer pulls an immediate bark of a laugh out of him. He may wave Tezcatlipoca away, but naturally, that doesn’t work. In fact, he just steps closer with a sly grin. ]
Haven’t even had a…?
[ He trails off as he repeats the phrase, snickering. ]
Well, before I start feelin’ bad for ya, guess it depends on the whole deal there. She your girl?
no subject
... Yeah. That's right. So, in retroflection, ( retrospect ) I prob'ly shouldn't have gone and messed with the wall none.
( he wrinkles his nose. )
Though a lot of folks who've been in-and-out of these halls don't seem to have made it up here. It's not a bad idea... tryin' to keep the memory of them alive or whatever. It's the sorta sentiment my Master would've been all over.
HE'S SO CUTE!!!!!!!! ROARS
My face just inspires ya to violence, huh? I see how it is.
[ See? Still extremely punchable. But he twirls the marker in his hand, then steps forward to hand it back to Izou, since he’s the one with the cap. With that settled, he steps back to the wall to take a better look at the photos that are up. When Izou mentions his Master, Tezcatlipoca breathes out another little laugh, then shrugs. ]
I don’t know about “all over”, but, yeah, could see Daybit being into it too.
[ He pointedly avoids calling him his Master, but that’s just out of stubbornness over terminology… The sentiment remains the same, regardless. Though, he does wonder if Daybit would even partake in something like this if he was given the option. He could just as likely see the guy deciding it wasn’t worth the effort. Daybit had lived with his “condition” for so long at this point that he didn’t exactly mourn those daily losses.
…But it’s why he has a bit of a softer spot for March himself. Apparently, he’s drawn to people who have memory issues now. What a “type” to develop. He looks to Izou as he returns the subject to her. ]
But, yeah, that’s basically what she said. Plus, happened to come up when we met, so I know she’s missing most of her memories. Easy to see how something like this would be meaningful after that.
no subject
( get a load of this guy, repeating that name like it's the equivalent to getting beaned in the head with a dodgeball.
in truth, izou didn't exactly put every crypter to memory like his master would've.
he was just there to support her, to kick up grains of dust and brandish his weapon in her name and for the sake of that planet's future. but he could, at least, recall them being interrupted abruptly in a certain lostbelt by this one, his gaze one of complete indifference as they all stood opposite in the square and tension crackled in the air, almost suffocating for the presence of a stranger who'd seemingly appeared out of nowhere. )
Now I remember. How'd that shit taste back then, huh? All those folks you snatched up in front of us.
no subject
The elaboration does make it a little clearer where it’s coming from. Somewhat. Or, really, it’s more that he can’t exactly fault Izou for maybe not remembering him when Tezcatlipoca’s immediate thought is “wait you were there?”
…To be fair, though. He wasn’t at all interested in Ritsuka or her Servants at the time. He’d assumed that even if they made it through India, they’d certainly be killed by the Gods of Olympus. He hadn’t started taking them seriously until after that. ]
Ugh… Don’t remind me. They were terrible. [ So! He’ll answer the question honestly! Why not? ] Should’ve just left all of ya to get stomped by that freaky looking nerd and minded my business. But, no, Daybit had to go check on his buddy.
no subject
( pushing the limits of their ideals against his master, and even alongside her, tended to see these crypters to the ends of their days.
and that was for the best in izou's eyes, given they were the enemy. just like tezcatlipoca.
izou's mouth forms a thin line as he gives him and the wall one last glance. )
... You go ahead and reminiscence about your bad choices. I'm gonna go figure out how to reprint this for good.
🎀
But he refrains. If only because he reaches out to the board to pluck the vandalized copy off of it. ]
Sure. I’m keeping this, though.
[ Why he would even want it is something that Izou will be left to ponder, though the answer is incredibly mundane. He’s just enjoying collecting little unique tokens. A robotic goldfish, a fingerbone, et cetera… Normal, mundane things! But he waves the photo playfully at Izou as he steps back and leaves. ]
