[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.]

Sounds like you already have enough to do. [ Besides, it can't hurt to go outside and do stuff there! (As long as there's no weird monsters or robots around, anyway, like tends to happen here..) Shinpachi's a very outsidey person too, so he just smiles. ]
Guess I shouldn't keep you waiting around here much longer then. You must have a lot of stuff to take pictures of, huh?

Are you sure you don't mind?

[ He seems to be telling the truth, since his expression is pretty carefree. ]
I should get back to working on that car anyway. I dunno if my boss is gonna think me spending the whole afternoon talking to people passing by is worthy of some pay.
no subject
Then I will leave you to your work and won't bother you any longer.
Thank you for the picture.

See you some other time. Take care.
[ Since he knows that's just needed sometimes in a place like this.. ]
