Tenth Snapshot | Action;Video

[expertonshutters]

[Someone has been hard at work since returning from Glacier.]

[Or at least, trying to be. Space wasn't really the issue. He'd found a small room and with permission, set it up as a temporary dark room. He really needed to just rent out a studio but for now, being as he was still settling after the Oakenshield residence went up for sale, this would work for what he needed it.]

[He had some pretty important pictures to develop. It's too bad the place covered in huge, extroverted pokemon made that really difficult.]

[About the sixth time someone tried to open the door (Three or four times with it still being locked somehow) Hayato just set out his two biggest pokemon to guard the door while he worked.]

[Feel free to still try to bug him. Nikon is kind of a pushover and Fuji is really easily distracted. He could probably use an interruption.]




[Video]

[When the video clicks on. Hayato can be seen with a bright grin. He's wearing a work apron and a pair of goggles on his head- his usual for working on photos. As such his antennae are visible for once instead of being crammed under a hat. They flick and twitch with his expressions.]

So it looks like everyone had a pretty good trip. We made out okay even if I've gotta be kind of hush hush about the details, but what about everyone else? Got anything fun to share?

[It looks like he's about to say something else when there's the distinct sound of a door opening and a creaking of hinges. He jolts, antennae flicking straight up and he turns towards the hall he was standing near.]

Oi!

[Someone tried to go in the dark room again. The feed ends as he's running towards the source.]

Comments

[Nero tosses up a peace sign.

Grins.

Burps.

And then...]

I shall return momentarily.

[ZOOOOOOOM to the restroom.]

[expertonshutters]

[W e l p.]

Should I get our next pot of tea to-go?

[demenscantrix]

[When Nero returns a little later, she looks a little less green around the gills, and she's wiping her mouth on a paper towel. Clearly she purged...]

It's perfectly alright. Here will be acceptable.

[expertonshutters]

[Ah, so she did. He feels kind of bad.]

All-righty.

[He pushes his bulgolgi out to the center of the table.]

Here, eat some of mine if you want. I feel like I cheated you out of a real meal.

[demenscantrix]

No. Thank you. I don't think I could enjoy anything after that, for a little while. Tea will be fine, thank you.

[Who could eat after THAT?]

[expertonshutters]

[Hohoho. He does look apologetic, though, and pulls his plate back and opts to instead push the tea pot.]

Fair enough. Next time we come I'll order you something you won't have to give back up again. I promise not all of our food will try to kill you.

[demenscantrix]

I'm aware of that, not everyone in Caldera can have a cast-iron stomach.

[She pours tea and drinks it down quickly, pouring a second cup and sipping at this one now. Helping!]

feel free to disregard this tag since it's ancient.

[expertonshutters]

True enough! There are actually a number of really good sweets you should try, if you want the other end of the spectrum. A good friend of mine back home has a family who runs a sweets shop.

[You know, if you like that sort of thing.]
