[ While Allen is perhaps not one to bother the network at large himself about much of anything personal -- this is a little different. And straightforward (simple) enough. ]

When someone wants to get a camera --

How do you go about it?

An actual one [ not this ] with film. [ Or -- chips. Or... whatever they use. Because the ones from his era of technomagical bullshit are kind of different.

Aha...

As if by means of explanation: ] They're not quite like the ones I'm used to. [ Or he's gotten unlucky in not stumbling across more traditional ones.

So there's a sheepish but polite smile, and a smart nod. ] Thank you.



[ Though after he's turned the feed off --

He'll be leaning against the kitchen counter (Odin 102) to flip through a few photographs in front of him. Four, to be precise, and (presumably a fifth) face down a little to the side. Softer at the edges already, but only a little. Like he's kept them in a breast pocket for a couple days. Not smiling, but not unhappy, either.

(Timcanpy too, on one shoulder and leaning forward as well.)

If anything, just a little distracted and pensive. ]

[ Kaworu arrives home with some food on his hands; he grabbed fruit and vegetables, mostly the kind of things he eats because of his diet. Once home, he whispers a small “I’m home”, a Japanese custom that he has heard of but only started to apply once he got a home and a family.

He heads to the kitchen after, noticing Allen. ] Hello, Allen. [ he comes closer with a smile ]

[Action]

[likethelight]

[ Even if it's more a Japanese style of greeting and Allen's hardly Japanese or even that familiar with the culture as such... he pauses, and perks a little at that.

And smiles, straightening a little when Kaworu enters. ] Kaworu --

Welcome back.

[ Ah. Setting the photographs down. ]

[ The angel places down the groceries; he will get back to them in a moment.

His red eyes notice the photographs, but he doesn't ask about them yet ] How was your day?

[Action] 1/3

[likethelight]

Ah, fine. [ It's -- a little auomatic sounding, even if it's basically true. Although, ah --

He moves over to help with the groceries, glancing at them a little as he does so. Purely habit and idle curiosit— ]

[likethelight]

[ ... it's always so leafy... ]

[Action] 3/3

[likethelight]

[ ... c'est la vie. Carrying on. (It's not like it's a surprise. He'll just always stop with a bit of sad face. No meat ever?) ]

Yourself...? [ But still idle, distracted. Polite autopilot. Timcanpy's going to be half-landing, half-clambering onto Kaworu's head in greeting as well. ]

[extradite]

Ah... you can't use the one on your device at all? Even if it's not like the usual sort, I think - it should work, shouldn't it?

audio;

[likethelight]

[ Shinji -- ]

Ah, no. It's fine for that.

But I mean, something that can make actual photographs. That you can frame.

audio;

[extradite]

Mmmmm. Sorry. I don't think... Norman had some actual photography, but they were from home. As for the technology needed to take your own pictures, I don't think that's something you're in enough luck to find.

audio;

[likethelight]

[ "Luck"...

-- hesitating for a second. ] Ah?

I see. [ Pausing, but -- ] Thank you, I suppose I'll just keep looking.

[audio]

[linkedtogod]

What is it for? [ Admittedly a little curious. ]

[audio]

[likethelight]

[ Ah... ]

No reason.

I was thinking of getting one. [ Just -- not for himself. He's a selfless tightwad, he gets nothing for himself. ]

[audio]

[linkedtogod]

I didn't know you were interested in them. [ Link has no idea and is attempting to coax some sort of explanation out. ]

[audio]

[likethelight]

Aah --

[   n o n c h a l a n c e   ]

It sort of came up the other day.

Remember how Johnny used to take a lot of pictures? [ Even ones of you, Link. Even if you never did learn to smile properly for one... ]

[doomfire]

There might be a shop that sells them.

[ O'Brien's not the type to ask why unless it pertains to him. Good guy ]

voice

[likethelight]

[ PRAISE BE TO YOU, SIR, he wasn't imagining them, then. ]

Ah -- thank you.

In Utgard? [ It would have been his guess. ]

voice

[doomfire]

I'm sure there's one there. The ones here would probably be less advanced.

voice

[likethelight]

[ Giving a nod -- even if ah, woops, it can't be seen. ]

It's more how -- advanced they are that's the strange part, I guess.

[Video]

[horlogerie]

A camera for films?

[Video]

[likethelight]

[ Films? ]

Photos, actually.

Re: [Video]

[horlogerie]

Oh...

[A frown]

Because I was going to try and make a film camera.

[Video]

[likethelight]

[ !

Perking at that. ]

You can -- make it? [ THAT'S SORT OF REALLY IMPRESSIVE. ]

[video]

[demonicbookworm]

A camera... with film?

<sub>[What is technology.

The most advanced technology in his world is steam engine.]</sub>

[video]

[likethelight]

Or something like that. [ sob modern technology in Asgard.

Allen's been here a while and been subjected to it enough... But mostly that's in breezing past and ignoring it with just headtilting a bit every now and then, unless someone actually shows him something. ]

[video]

[demonicbookworm]

I-I'm sorry, but I won't be able to help...

_{[he needs to read about modern technology one day.]}
