► Dreamotion Camera: 3, 2, 1, say cheese!
[While wandering around and exploring the town, Norimune overhear about an inventor wishing to test their invention. Curiosity got him to seek out the inventor, to see what they made and if it's an interesting device. And what he find out? It's a charming camera!

As this is another world, different from where he hailed from, Norimune's naturally curious about this. How would this camera differ from the ones he knew, both the old fashioned bulky models and the more modernised smaller ones? He end up accepting the request, and now taking pictures of anything he fancy. Flowers, animals, buildings... it's only residents he would ask permission for.]

Why, hello there! Can I take your photo? This old man is helping someone with this.

[Why, yes, he's asking you!]

► Who Let the Dog (Toys) Out
[Ever since he chatted with Miss Tifa over the magical journals, Norimune's been keeping an eye out for possible dog toys. The town he's in isn't the biggest, completely unlike the commercial hubs of great cities and port towns.

So he's been asking around during his wanderings, until he's directed to a simple shop offering various toys. According to the owner, some of them are handmade! Is it true? Who knows, Norimune's browsing the selection in relative peace...

... So about that "relative peace". It didn't last very long. No matter what the trigger is, there's a commotion going on over at this shop. What is it? Turns out some of the toys are running amok and knocking things over.

Which attracts attention, which means some nearby dogs notice and coming over. Oh dear, some of them may even take a liking to the toys. Be it mechanical or more softer/chew toy friendly types.]

Oh dear.

[And there's Norimune, standing in the middle of the (relatively mild, all things considered) chaos. And the shop owner is yelling for people to help out!!]

► Wild Card
[If you want a custom starter or want to bring your own scenario, hit me up over PMs or Sonica!]

Comments

Say cheese!

[helluvaboss]

[Blitz quite literally is not doing anything most of the time, just wandering around and getting into whatever sort of shenanigans he fancies. But a camera? Why the fuck not! He'd been craving pictures anyway.

So with a smooth trot over, Blitz eagerly butted some other person getting asked first.]

Oh hell yeah, get my good side.

[kikuichi]

[Whether the first person's going to accept or decline, they end up going "hey!" instead. Norimune blinks, before he laughs.]

Uhahaha! Of course I will, since you're so eager.

[He holds up the camera.]

Ready? Strike your best pose!

[helluvaboss]

[Blitz poses, legs and arms out like he was on a theater stage - whatever he can do to eat up as much of the frame as possible, of course!]

Wait, wait, better idea--

[Abandoning that pose, Blitz switches which side is facing the camera, whipping out his golden percussion pistol to pose with it like an action hero.]

YEAH, that looks badass as fuck, right?

[kikuichi]

[He was about to press the button, but wait! His subject want to change his pose!]

Oh?

[Norimune waits a moment, and see the new pose! He smiles widely.]

Uhahaha! Indeed, it does look, as you say, "badass"! If you're happy with it, I'll take the photo soon! 3... 2... 1...

[Unless Blitz decide to change his mind, Norimune will press the button! A soft click and a small flash will accompany the press, as the photograph is taken.]

[helluvaboss]

[After waiting for the click, and a couple breather seconds after, Blitz will excitedly slide closer to Norimune, grinning down at the camera.]

This is some old school shit, huh? Is it one of the old fuckin' things with the camera film? Where're you developing it?

[kikuichi]

Oh, it's the type that prints out the photo. I believe we need to wait a bit?

[Sure enough, the camera is printing it out. On the photo, it shows Blitz and...?]

Cheese please!!

[mysophobic]

[ Walking through people's dreams isn't normally one of Shigeru's past times but it seems that tonight was just one of those nights. Shigeru will stumble his way through this strange new world he's found himself in only to freeze when called out like that by Norimune. He'll point to himself and then smile. ] You want to take a picture of...me?

[ They've never even met before?! Is this okay?? ]

[kikuichi]

[He nods and hold up the camera with a smile.]

Yes, yes! If you allow me, that is.

[At least he's asking first?!]

[mysophobic]

[ Shigeru honestly doesn't know what to do?! This is a dreamworld though so it's...not exactly unexpected to have strange requests or things happen?? Apparently having his photo taken is really out of the norm for him because he actually feels his cheeks flush a bit. ]

Is there...no one else? [ Because like Shigeru is the last person who would ever be picked for anything so he's not sure how to respond... ]

I don't mind though. You can take a picture of me! [ Since this man is rather handsome, who is he to deny him his photo. ]

[kikuichi]

Hm? You're not the only one, but you did catch my eyes.

[Don't question the old man. He holds up the camera with a smile.]

Now, pose however you like, please!

toys~

[donfire]

[Ace is casually walking into the shop, seeing how a dog enters the establishment right as he opens the door.

Then he looks around, and laughs. There's dog toys dancing to imaginary music! There's dogs jumping and chewing them! it's so cute.]

Need help?

[kikuichi]

[Meanwhile, the shop owner is trying to get them settle down.

Norimune looks at the other person and smiles, as he put away his fan.]

Uhahaha! I think so. I think the kind shopkeeper might need a hand.

[donfire]

Probably!

[Ace looks at the shopkeeper and hums.]

Are you not helping?

[kikuichi]

Oh, I'll help in a bit. I wanted to watch first for moment. You don't often see such fun mess like this!

[He's old, he's allowed to have fun. He glances around, noting where everything is and isn't.]

How shall we start this, the dogs or the toys?

[donfire]

Fair, it does seem really fun, but so chaotic!

[Ace laughs, catching a toy that's wondering by his hand.]

Maybe the dogs.

[Which are trying to steal the wriggling toy away from him.]

If we can get them to leave, the owner can close shop, right?

[kikuichi]

[He laughs, and step forward to pick up the dog. The same dog trying to pull the toy from Ace's hand. They bark at being picked up!]

A sound idea! Let's see if we can get this done quickly, kid.

[How old is this other person? It doesn't matter to Norimune's old soul.]

[donfire]

Kid?

[It's been a decade since Ace got called a kid, so he just raises his eyebrow at the man and laughs.]

Let's get to work!

[And so it begins: Ace is rushing after dogs happily, trying to get them to leave the store.]

Toys

[hairpinings]

[ Among the crowd of dogs that come over to check out the toys is one curious swordboy. He noticed flashing colors and bouncing and it was just too hard to resist checking out the scene.

He runs right by Norimune to try and catch one of the blinking bouncy balls that bounces past him, his fluffy ponytail bouncing along as well~]

H-hey wait up!

[kikuichi]

[Just when he ponder what to do, what do we have here? A certain young sword came bouncing in! Norimune laughs as he watches, before he calls out.]

Uhahaha! Careful, kid! There's a lot of dogs and toys around here.

[And the shop keeper is asking for help!]

[hairpinings]

C'mon grandpa. How are you going to join in the fun if you're just standing there?

[ Apparently Yasusada came running over with no intention of actually helping. He was drawn in by the chaos. ]

[kikuichi]

[Should he either:

A. Help the shopkeeper, and rope in Yasusada into it as well?
B. Join Yasusada in having fun>?]

Uhahaha! Oh, you know I'm an old man. I only have so much energy.

[He have enough energy, really.]

But I can play with you!

[hairpinings]

[ Yasusada couldn't help but laugh at that. ]

Spoken like a true old man, huh? But if you limit yourself to what you think you have the energy for you're gonna miss out, grandpa~

[ And with that he goes rushing back to Norimune so he could start tugging on his arm. ]

Say Cheese TIME TO MAKE CR HAPPEN THIS TIME

[burnttoashes]

[The question earns Norimune a rather skeptical look. It's not the strangest thing he's been asked, no, but Nuadha wouldn't consider himself to be the most photogenic sort, and on top of that, there's the whole technicality that this isn't actually HIS body...]

A photo of me? Surely you have better options.

[It's not a flat-out 'no,' at least... perhaps he can be persuaded.]

IT SHALL HAPPEN

[kikuichi]

[He smiles at what he assumes to be a young man. Whether or not he's human or some other being, all he sees is a new person. A new ally, or a source of amusement.]

You caught my eyes, kid. So I want to take a photo of you. If you'll allow me, that is.

[He say with a smile.]

[burnttoashes]

I'll allow it.

[This man seems so earnest about it that he'd feel awkward saying no, even though a part of him really wants to.]

But I'm curious as to what about me caught your eye.

[Is it the metal arm? It's probably the metal arm, isn't it? People here seem to be much more odd about it than back in his world...]

say cheese~

[rokubro]

[Well that's a new thing and he looks at Norimune closer.]

Take a what?

[kikuichi]

[He holds up the camera in his hands.]

A photo! You don't know what it is?

[rokubro]

Can't say I do...or that device. What is it?

[He's definitely curious, though!]

[kikuichi]

It's a camera. A type of device that record pictures for you.

[He keep it pretty simple, depending on this man's comprehension skills and cultural context.]

That picture is a "photograph" or photo for short.

[rokubro]

Wait, seriously? So it just...makes a portrait without needing anyone to draw or anything?

How long does it take?

[kikuichi]

That's right! Amazing, isn't it?

[The power of science! And dream magic?]

It shouldn't take too long, just a moment for the picture to come out.

[Long enough for dramatic pause the camera to process, probably.]

[rokubro]

Okay, you have me curious enough to try this.

I just need to stand still, right? Make a pose or something?

[kikuichi]

Hm... I think a pose would make it fun. But that's up to you.

[Hey, no pressure. Norimune's fine with however this fellow choose.]

[rokubro]

[Thinking... THINKING...

With a grin he takes his two short swords and goes into a traditional Rangetsu stance.]

If we're going to do this, might as well go all out!
