[OPEN] There, by the Waterside
Who: givesalittlewhistle & OPEN
When: Mid-June IC/Beginning of April OOC
Where: Around the City
What: Part One: Hikari has her new Camera and wants to try it out | Part Two: weapons training (sort of)
Rating/Warning: (possible talks of fighting involving children)
I.
[If there was one positive thing about that last ViViD game she'd entered...it was that, combined with her school allowance and other savings, it put her at more than enough credits to buy the camera she wanted.]
[It was small. Easy enough to hold in her young hands, and light enough to carry around her neck on a string. Right next to her whistle, and atop the crest of light she kept beneath her shirt. It was also stylish, with a silver casing and even a little view screen in the back so that she could see the image she'd just captured without having to print it out first. Even better, thanks to the small card she was able to insert to add memory, she could take hundreds of pictures before having to delete any and make room for new ones!]
[It also meant she had plenty of leeway to experiment! Which is precisely why, for most of that particular morning, anyone might come across the eight-year-old girl wandering aimlessly around the city looking for things to shoot. She took pictures of the trees. The school. The shrine. The shops.]
[But...what she found she enjoyed most were taking pictures of the people. Especially when they barely had time to pose.]
Smile!
[Click]
II.
[The camera wasn't her only purchase, though this one had been a little more...spontaneous.]
[A glimpse in a window that inspired something she'd been wondering in the back of her mind for some time. Ever since that awful fighting game. She had come away from it mostly unscathed, yes, in no small part due to the fact that she'd reached for a weapon. Not a sword or bow and arrow or anything she could have hurt herself with, though. No, Hikari had reached for a long staff. And wielded it quite well for a novice.]
[Which was to say, she didn't smack herself in the face with it once. Success?]
[So, when she found a rubber training version of the same weapon with foam ends, it was like a sign. It didn't cost much, and when she first held it in her hands, it was even lighter than she remembered the wooden version being.]
[She took it to the park. Tailmon hovered as always, although this time on the ground. More than once, she swatted a little at the staff edges as they came near her, and it was only because of how soft they felt compared to most weapons that she wasn't more concerned. In fact, if anything, the little digimon looked proud of her partner for wanting to better defend herselfthough slight put out she hadn't opted for the bow and arrow.]
I just wish I knew more so that I could teach you myself.
[Hikari was currently practicing spinning it in her hands, getting used to the way the weight shifted and the center of balance followed its movement. She didn't dare turn her head until it stopped, and called out to Tailmon without taking her eyes away from her current task.]
It's okay. I can...probably...figure this out...by myself...
[Or until somebody else came along to help her.]

I (DON'T LIE YOU'RE NOT SORRY AT ALL LUNA)
[...okay, she giggled.]
You look funny!
[It wasn't an insult, though, since--she assumed--he meant to be funny. With a face like that.]
(YOU CAUGHT ME I REGRET ABSOLUTELY NONE OF THIS)
He couldn't resist teasing her a little, though.]
Whaaaat? But this is my best smile!
[And he's going to tug his cheeks out further for more effect.]
(NOPE NOT ONE BIT)
If you insist.
[And, because he was going through all that trouble on her half, she held up the camera and took another picture. It joined the first in her camera's storage, and she flipped through the two of them with hints of amusement before looking up at the older boy once more. They were funny, yes, but...there was still something missing.]
Could you do a real one now, please?
no subject
Aw, c'mon, for real? These were getting kinda fun.
no subject
Oh, no, I thought they were a lot of fun! And I'm grateful to you for doing that for me.
It's just... [He smile turned sheepish as her eyes lowered back to the camera.] ...that wasn't what I'm looking for.
no subject
Soooo... you want something a little more cool, instead? I can definitely do cool.
no subject
I want you to be yourself. [Candid shots were always the best; it did spoil things a little that he knew it would be coming and would most likely 'pose', but...just in case...] If 'yourself' is cool, then just be as cool as you always are.
no subject
[This was a little like what Botan was doing with her camera during the tournament, wasn't it? Snapping random pictures of folks and all. He dwells on this for a moment more, before coming to a conclusion.]
I dunno, my level of cool might be too much for your camera. [Yusuke, pls.]
How about this, then?
[He gives a small smirk, aiming a finger gun to the camera before 'firing' it with a silent 'pow'.]
no subject
[...okay, she had to admit, that actually was pretty cool.]
It looks even better than the first one!
no subject
[He's teasing, of course-- obviously this one would be better than the ridiculous look he pulled earlier.
He peers over towards her camera, interest piqued.]
What's with all the pictures, anyway? You trying to make a scrapbook or something?
no subject
[A deliberate non-commital answer at first. As she flipped through some of the earlier pictures she'd taken to compare. Her "scrapbook" was actually starting to come together.]
I want to be able to remember all the people I met while I'm here.
no subject
That's a pretty nifty idea.
You sure these'll be able to make it back home, though?
no subject
No. I don't know for certain.
But...I also think I'll be here for a while, so as long as I am, I'll definitely still have my pictures with me.
no subject
What makes you think you'll be stuck here for a long time, though? There's always a chance you can get to go home, somehow. [Seriously, though, what was it with people here giving up hope so early on.]
Unless... do you like it here?
no subject
...we were brought here for a reason. [Very deliberately--and notably--ignoring the question about personal preference.] Just like before. So...I figure we'll be here until we do what it is we were brought here to do.
I don't know how long that'll take, but it might be a while.
no subject
However, that does raise a question, though:]
... what do you mean, 'like before'?
no subject
This isn't the first time I traveled to a world different than mine.
Oniichan and the others and I had to go to the Digital World. That's where Tailmon's from. There were...there were bad digimon trying to destroy it. They needed our help to stop them.
