daggering: (197)

READ: XX:XXPM

[ typical

however he is very prompt, and comes to the archway a minute or two later! the fit. ]


Bass. [ sup. ]
fretbro: (ten)

[personal profile] fretbro 2022-03-29 12:49 am (UTC)(link)
[this fucking business casual new dad look, hello. i'm too lazy for fits so he's just wearing whatever.

anyway he comes in, and immediately grabs vax's hand.]


C'mon!
daggering: (192)

[personal profile] daggering 2022-03-29 12:54 am (UTC)(link)
[ STOP I JUST WANTED RIPPED JEANS anyway here we are, business casual new dad

but this is fine! vax just lets bass take his hand with zero to no protest, letting him just lead him along into this well lit picture room? the halogen lights, ]
Is everything in your kinda place so fucking bright?

[ local peasant still understanding fluorescent lights ]
fretbro: (three)

[personal profile] fretbro 2022-03-29 01:03 am (UTC)(link)
Yep. You should see... you should...

[fuck. he can't remember, and for a second he can't speak because he has to clear his throat, but.]

The city is all lit up like this all the time.
daggering: (131)

[personal profile] daggering 2022-03-29 01:11 am (UTC)(link)
[ since he's still got his hand, he gives it a little squeeze, encouraging. ]

Yeah? Seems fucking bright. Really takes the festival of dancing lights out to pasture.
fretbro: (Default)

[personal profile] fretbro 2022-03-29 01:22 am (UTC)(link)
Festival of dancing lights? [that sounds fun...]

Oh - here, here's a good one. The filters don't suck. [drags him into one of the booths!]
daggering: (195)

[personal profile] daggering 2022-03-29 01:23 am (UTC)(link)
Yeah. Winter's Crest thing. Iunno. Big holiday.

[ but he will crowd into the booth with fret!! there's. a lot happening in here. ] This really for taking the pictures, or whatever?
fretbro: (eighteen)

[personal profile] fretbro 2022-03-29 01:48 am (UTC)(link)
Yeah - so it does like three pictures, and then you get to decorate them and stuff.

I used to - I - with um. [god, this SUCKS.] ... A girl I was friends with, I think? And... another boy, we had fun with these...

[ghhhh] ... Sorry. No, um. It's fun.
daggering: (197)

[personal profile] daggering 2022-03-29 01:50 am (UTC)(link)
[ best friend... another boy... ]

... Boy couldn't be Riff, could it? [ that??? makes sense to him?? he'll peer over bass's shoulder at the display, though. ] Seems like something a couple've good friends would do.
fretbro: (eight)

[personal profile] fretbro 2022-03-29 01:51 am (UTC)(link)
... But Riff isn't from where I was from?

[... right? but. sorry, hold on, he's having a moment.]
daggering: JUJUST JOKE YOU WERE FOOLS! YOU ARE THE APRIL FOOLES!!!! i remain perfet bird (3)

[personal profile] daggering 2022-03-29 02:03 am (UTC)(link)
[ .... headtilt.

he's quiet, or a moment, thinking on what emet told him about their adventure. ]
.... Couldn't he be, though?
fretbro: (nineteen)

[personal profile] fretbro 2022-03-29 02:15 am (UTC)(link)
[long

long pause]


... Maybe? [he sounds hesitant.] But that'd mean...
daggering: (209)

[personal profile] daggering 2022-03-29 02:24 am (UTC)(link)
That'd mean you two'd be pretty fated to be best friends, huh.

[ this is a little lighter than what he wants to say, really - with... what he knows about riff, especially, but he bites his tongue on that part for now.

he puts a hand on bass's shoulder, and gives it a squeeze. ]
Not that uncommon in this place, yeah? Look at me and Percival. Or Estinien and Aymeric.
fretbro: (twenty-four)

[personal profile] fretbro 2022-03-29 03:23 am (UTC)(link)
[much to think about.]

That's true. [he leans a little into the hand.] ... I don't like that it made me forget.
daggering: (195)

[personal profile] daggering 2022-03-29 03:59 am (UTC)(link)
's shitty, huh.

[ that's a little encouraging to hear, honestly. after his witnessed conversation with atsushi and vin the other day, it's definitely reassuring. ]

Well, hey. 's flip this place the bird for that first picture. Sometimes makes me feel better.
fretbro: (eighteen)

[personal profile] fretbro 2022-03-29 10:24 pm (UTC)(link)
[he's still struggling with it, but.

he takes a deep breath.]
Yeah. Okay, okay, let's do it.
daggering: (108)

[personal profile] daggering 2022-03-30 12:52 am (UTC)(link)
[ me like i want to talk plot but also my cute purikura pictures with my son this is a struggle

the hand on his shoulder shifts a bit, and pulls him in for a one armed hug, instead - a big squeeze, wordless. it's not like he knows how to work this stupid machine so fret's gonna have to be the one to start it anyway - and, if nothing else, vax is (somewhat ironically) good at being a steady presence. ]
fretbro: (Default)

[personal profile] fretbro 2022-03-30 03:19 am (UTC)(link)
[it's fine they can talk plot after

in any case, he takes that hug, and then just exhales big and slaps his face gently. stop being sad. it's fine. this won't come back to bite him in the ass later with the weekly effect.]


So you've never done one of these before, right?
daggering: (143)

[personal profile] daggering 2022-03-30 03:30 am (UTC)(link)
[ feelings talk after purikura over slurpees

listen. vax notices this! he notices this. he is not a fool. but for now, he'll tuck it away in his pocket when they're not crammed into a photobooth. this whole place is all about their memories, lately - might be good to have some new ones. he crowds in a little closer to look at the screen, missing his wings for the point of reassuring physical contact. this'll have to do for now. ]


I didn't even know what a camera was until - however fucking many weeks ago. [ too many ] What're you supposed to do?
fretbro: (ten)

[personal profile] fretbro 2022-03-30 03:42 am (UTC)(link)
[he leans in a little close. all of my characters have one thing in common and it's that they are reassured by physical touch.]

So you just - pose? Do regular camera stuff. [he points up at the camera.] That's gonna take three pictures, and it'll count down. And then we add stickers and effects like stuff that says "wow!" or "hot stuff!" or whatever.
daggering: (152)

[personal profile] daggering 2022-03-30 03:55 am (UTC)(link)
[ vax is the right person to be by if you need that!!! he does not mind at all, though he does look like an old man trying to squint at this screen and the camera. ]

Just make weird faces, then?
fretbro: (twenty-one)

[personal profile] fretbro 2022-03-30 04:14 am (UTC)(link)
You look like a grandpa with that face.

[so like, yes]
daggering: (157)
