Third Snapshot: Video | Action

[expertonshutters]

[Hello Union! Remember that weird lost Calderan who showed up in your city a few weeks ago? Looks like he has a better idea of what he's doing now. He grins big into the camera.]

Good afternoon citizens of Union!

I'd like to thank everyone who helped me get settled here in your generous city! So, if I can borrow a moment of your time, I'd like to make you all an offer.

See, I'm a photographer and thanks to taking a few odd jobs, I've finally been able to save up for a camera to get back to work. The problem is that I don't have a single picture for a portfolio here in Union. It's hard to start a business when you've got nothing to show for your ability.

That's where all of you come in!

I'm offering anyone who contacts me in the next week a free photo of some kind. It can be of anything. You, your pokemon, your food, you name it. You'll get one copy and then I'll get the negatives to add to my personal portfolio.

Not a bad deal, right? Anywho, don't be shy and come see me. If you didn't catch my name last time, it's Hayato Ichimonji. Stay classy, Union.

[And the feed ends. He can be found all over the city. He tends to move around a lot. You might be able to find him relaxing at a cafe or something, though. Come talk to him!]


[Dwarfhaus]

[For all the smiling charisma that Hayato was on the warp band, he sure knew how to look panicked. Which he kind of was.]

[This was the third time this week he'd done this. He'd gone to open a door only to completely snap off the handle. He'd been lucky and managed to get a replacement in time before Thorin or anyone else came back and saw, but this was starting to happen too many times for his comfort.]

[Anyone visiting the Oakenshield residence would find a very harried photographer with a screw driver quickly trying to re-install a doorknob on the door of the guestroom. The broken remains of the old one laying off to the side.]

[Goro was being helpful for once and holding up tools for him to use as he tried to complete his repairs.]

[Kili, living with Hayato, is pretty sure he can get him to take a lot of photos so he can send them back home.

So he just waltzes in after playing with Kuna and Magnith, tossing his Darumaka in the air as his Skiddo and Carbink tell him not too.

And stumbling over the broken doorknob]

Whoa--

action

[expertonshutters]

[Oh, shit dwarfchild where did you come from. Hayato bristles like a cat who got their tail stepped on and drops his screwdriver.]

Kili-! Kili, by the Gods you scared the crap out of me.

[Please don't ask what he's doing, he really doesn't want to explain.]

[youngestone]

[He nearly hits the wall but he manages not to.]

Sorry! I thought you heard me come--hey, what happened to the door?

[Tact?

What's that?

Can he eat it?]

Video...placeholder

[rainsrespite]

Oh hey, you found one! I was wondering if you had, Hayato.

[Yuuna grins at the video.]

What'd you have to do for the funding?

Video

[expertonshutters]

You can't keep a good photographer down!

[He rubs the back of his neck.]

I met a very helpful person at a noodle stand that directed me towards the construction of that facility you guys had going up recently.

Video

[rainsrespite]

And you found a camera there?

[She has a feeling she knows who this is...]

Video

[blood_and_thunder]

That's so nice of you... A personal photo would be nice to have.

Video

[expertonshutters]

Hey, it helps us both out.

Are you interested?

Video

[blood_and_thunder]

I am, actually... My Pokemon will be evolving soon, and it'd be a nice little memento of us before it happens.

[darer]

[ front door opens. a few moments later, there's heavy boots on the stairs leading up to the hallway where Hayato is trying to mend his mess.

think fast. ]

action.

[expertonshutters]

[YEP You want to talk about his little bug-type heart flying into into a panic. He starts working even quicker. Sadly between his panic and his inability to keep his strength in check today he starts...breaking things.]

[Like the screws needed to put the handle back in. Crap, crap, crap.]

action.

[darer]

[ add to that one (1) yappy, filthy growlithe racing up the stairs. but even over that, the sound of bending, breaking metal isn't something a smith would miss. Thorin stops at the top of the stairs. he doesn't look alarmed or angry so far, at least. ]

... I see I missed something.

[iceandwhips]

[She vaguely remembers hearing about you, Hayato. And, well, she'd like to help out anyone she can. Especially if the rumors are true.]

Hello, Ichimonji-san. I don't believe we've met, but my name is Mitsuru Kirijo. If you'd like, I would actually like to acquire your photography services. I will pay you, of course. [Having a lot of money means she's always looking for a good place to spend it.]

Video

[expertonshutters]

Well met, Miss Kirijo.

[He blinks a little, offering her a lopsided smile.]

Are you sure you want to hire me straight out, without seeing any of my previous work?

Video

[iceandwhips]

[Well, that's a nice smile. She approves.]

I'm certain you wouldn't have offered your services at all if you weren't passable. Besides, how will you improve if you don't have something to do.

[She smiles in return.]

I have a very pleased with herself Froslass. Just using your camera on her will make it worth the money.

[encouragetomorrow]

Mr. IchimooooooooonJI!!

[Honoka's voice gets louder as she all but pounces on her Warp Band, and then returns to a normal volume when she sits back away from it. Her surroundings are confusing, but let's not worry about where she is.]

I can completely get you photos!! μ's could stand some publicity.

[expertonshutters]

Miss Kousaka! Just the young lady I was hoping to see.

[He grins bright.]

Let me know when you guys are preforming and I'll stop by.

[encouragetomorrow]

Yessssss. Thank you so much! I promise I'll make some manju for you just for the occasion. At least you won't go hungry.

[video]

[a_gentle_boy]

A photograph...?

[Lucas seems thoughtful for a few moments before he responds.]

That's very nice of you to offer, mister...! If it's not too much trouble... I wouldn't mind having one.

[video]

[expertonshutters]

No trouble at all. [He grins and pulls out his notebook.]

What's your name?

[a_gentle_boy]

It's Lucas. It's nice to meet you, Mr. Hayato.

...Do you think you could get a picture of all of my friends? We've never been in one place before... It gets a little too crowded, but it'd be nice to have everyone for a picture!

Video.

[ladyofluminosity]

I'd be happy to help.

That is, if you'll help me with something else. I promise that we can pay well.

Video.

[expertonshutters]

Eh? That sure sounds interesting. Tell me more.

[lunchleader]

((OOC: Sorry for the late reply!))

Really? That sounds awesome! Having a great shot for theater posters would be awesome, to be honest. [Don't mind the four or five Pokemon peeking into the feed from all around Right. Photos of them, huh...?

Video

[expertonshutters]

[OOC: SORRY FOR THE BILLION YEAR LATE RESPONSE]

Theater, huh? Are you an actor?
