I've managed to get somewhat of a darkroom up and running in my room, so these photographs have all been developed. If I took your photograph and you want to keep it, feel free to come find me before tomorrow, because otherwise I'm just going to throw them out.

[There's the sound of him shuffling the photographs, then shifting through them. They're...all pretty damn terrible. BUT THAT'S THE UNIVERSES FAULT.

Anyway.]

Another thing. I need help figuring out how far my loss extends. I've figured out what it is, but I don't know the extent of what it's affected.
I'd like to make sure I'm still able to fight, so if you think you could take a punch or two, I'll be outside in the evening.

And don't worry; I won't break anything.

[You'll find him outside admiring the decor change for the lunar festival. Even if you don't fall into either category, pester him anyway. He loves company despite acting like you're all some kind've massive burden on his precious time.]

[ectobabble]

Oh, hey, you're a photographer, too? That's great! I've put a darkroom in my room, too.

[kamenriderdecade]

It was a lot harder than it should have been, admittedly.

People weren't kidding when they said the castle wants specifics.

[wheatdos]

[Wheatley heard something about photographs beforehand, but he won't go looking for that obnoxious bloke. Oh no. He'd pass by him as he was outside of the lunar festival. Wheatley was shoving things into his lab coat. Things that, respectively looked like something could be built from them.]

"Alrighty then!"

[He'll turn to see Mr.silent not a far off away.]

"Oh? Hey! Hey you!"

[heal_theworld]

You've managed to get the photographs? That's wonderful!

[kamenriderdecade]

[Oh hey, it's that jerk.

Do you still hate silence? STARE.]

[kamenriderdecade]

Yes, it turns out you were right.

Especially about having to be specific.

[A chuckle.]

I think I can say goodbye to that white t-shirt for good.

[wheatdos]

"Oh? Oh, we're doing this again? Again, its, it's getting old mate, but, but Fine. BE silent, I don't care what you do really. Do you have my, my photograph?"

[His eyes are all narrowy and judging]

[heal_theworld]

It spilled something on your head? [She laughs.] It did that to me with water, once. I think it has a sense of humor.

[unexculpable]

[While Ed does fit into that second category he didn't necessarily come outside looking for a fight. He didn't come outside looking for anything, honestly. He just wanted to see what was going on.]

So is this festival something they do every year?

[kamenriderdecade]

[Some more silence, then finally he'll reach for a little sleeve in the pocket of his jacket and open it up, taking out a photo and handing it over.

It's actually pretty badly distorted; the image of Wheatley is blurred, and some of the background objects behind him are warped pretty badly.]

[kamenriderdecade]

Mm; in all fairness I couldn't really blame it. Besides, I suppose little unexpected things like that makes life a bit more exciting.

If you'd like to pick up your photograph now I have some time. Otherwise I'll be outside later for the festival, if you'd prefer.

[kamenriderdecade]

[Oh hey, there's a familiar voice. Tsukasa turns for a moment towards Ed, then gives a little shrug.]

I told you didn't I? I only got here a little before you did. I'm not sure how the castle works yet.

[wheatdos]

"Eh?"

[He looks at it, and then looks at the silent guy, and then holds the picture up in his face]

"What-what, what the bloody hell is this supposed to be? I mean, are you even, do you even know how to use one of these things? Aren't you some sort of, oh I don't know, photographer? I thought, I thought that photographers specialize in this very very sacred and mysterious art called photography, this looks like... well nothing like me actually."

[kamenriderdecade]

That's not my fault, that's the universe's fault.

Take your problem up with it.

[wheatdos]

"Universe? What,what, does it mess with just about everything? Even pictures?"

[kamenriderdecade]

It's nothing to do with the castle if that's what you're thinking, I'm simply incapable of taking a photograph that doesn't become distorted because this isn't my home world.

[Saying it as if this is common sense and you not knowing this is the most ridiculous thing ever.]

[wheatdos]

"Ohhh... oh please, don't tell me that's your, your little loss. Photographs ey?."

[He says that, half in disbelief. His loss was so much greater than that. It can't possibly be something THAT dumb.]

[kamenriderdecade]

Photography? No, this is something that's affected me even in the universe I'm from.

My loss is just a little more severe than that.

[wheatdos]

"A little more severe? Oh, is that so? Well? Go on, go on. What is it, mate? You can't, you know you can't just leave me hanging here. As you already know, my loss is my core. Unfortunate really, even though I know that I'm going to get it back, even if it won't... be, that soon."

[kamenriderdecade]

My loss was myself.

[wheatdos]

"..."

[There's a long pause]

"What, what's that supposed to mean, mate? You lost yourself."

[kamenriderdecade]

I've forgotten everything but my name, from before I was here.

[Well aside the silly old destroyer of worlds title, but that's not important.]

So I must've valued myself over everything else in my life.

[heal_theworld]

That is true. [She smiles, she feels that way too.]

I can come and pick it up. What's your room number?

[wheatdos]

"..."

[He nods in thought.]

"Well that's... look at the bright side- well, actually, I can't actually think of anything bright to put about it. But, well at least ya got ya pictures eh? Yeah, yeah... you've got your picturesss.... and your camera and that... that name of yours. That's a start, that's a start. And besides, maybe...ohhh... maybe you can get em' back like I'm, like I'm gonna get my core back."

[kamenriderdecade]

You make it sound like I need cheering up or something.

The fact is if I don't remember what I forgot, I can't miss it in the first place. So I'm not down about it.
