Pinned
Ah - hah! Alright! Score - sounds good!

﹙ Grinning so wide, he clasped that undeveloped photo to his chest and peered upwards, a couple of his mechanical legs hooking onto the brick surface. ﹚

I'll be back tomorrow, show up! Y-y-you can check yourself to see if it's worked.
[He sighs. If this works, it'll all be worth it. Maybe he could even trick this... thing into helping with Team Rocket.]

Fine. But this is the last time, got it?
A catch..?

﹙ Right. A catch. Like what he often did in making sure he could get his photographs.
But he blinked slowly, his body whirring in a betrayal of his running thoughts. ﹚

I-I said at a discount. I just want some canned food. S-sssomething I can bring back.

“ Oh! Stay safe, please.. ”

Just as quickly as the visitor came and spoke did he leave.
While he couldn't help the way his mind raced, trying to pin together thoughts and understanding on the strange soul, he could help how he paced his way over to the door.

How he opened it.
-- the entity would return safely with no strange affliction.

[That... was useful information.]

Alright. Is there some kind of catch? Or would you develop it out of the "kindness of your heart" or whatever.
﹙ Lyle winced heavily, looking down at the photograph, then back up. Might as well be honest..
Loose whirring accompanied his approach. ﹚

M-my camera's special.
If you .. develop that photo, it'll make sure they never bother you again. Permanently. Isn't that cool? I t-think so.

“ O-oh. Okay. ”

A sincerely disappointed posture accompanied a menagerie of machinery clicking, eyes glancing down - only to be forced back up by the introduction of a weapon.
He seemed to wince briefly. At least before looking behind himself.

“ Maybe.. I'm bad at fighting. ”
— be frightening for others. Like a demon may be.

“I can come back and check on you instead. Anything you want me to bring back?”

“ I-I wish .. I feel like serial killers do better in this kind of situation ... if I try to get into my own bedroom, I get attacked by a guy I tried to bandage up earlier, ” Lyle admitted in a frustrated grumble, though his cheeks reddened some from embarrassment.

“ But, ah - wait! ”
— eyehole. Nothing was out there. Good.

“Looks like it’s safe to walk out there. Thanks for letting me stay for a bit. I owe you one.”

That question caught his attention, head turning towards his guest in surprise. A brief flicker of color touched the monochrome entity's face from a flattered confusion.

“ You're worried? W-well, yeah I'll be okay.. I don't think I can get worse. Sorry, just shy, ” he hurriedly stated.
— seem a little nervous. Forgive me for asking, but are you going to be okay?”

“ It's .. instant - ohhhh.. ” he rumbled loosely, as if the mechanisms taking up his body were trying to settle into a comfortable place.

Lyle had hardly been listening, paying more attention to the box he was holding and the picture extended out. He didn't seem to react much, however.

— tech. In fact…”

He would show photos of plant-like creatures he had on his person. Each one had bark for skin and leaves for hair.

“Here’s proof.”

Whoever it is might be gone by then. I could probably work faster just trying to confront them myself...

[He glances down the alley entrance wondering if the figure would pass by there.]
H-huh? I didn't! I just took a picture.

﹙ Sincerely surprised, his mouth fell open briefly as he took that photo back. Sharp teeth, too. ﹚

If you can get a dark room of your own, maybe it could get done sooner-?

“ External influence.. I think it's called? My neighbor across the hall has a similar thing. ”

Maybe. She refused to show him. But he leaned in closer, attention and bravery peaked with a simple box. “ I- I don't do blackmail, too weird, but I do candids, and .. this is an antique! ”

— So far, nothing seemed to be wrong with it.

“Hmmm? Of course. I sometimes take photos as a hobby, and a little blackmail. Heehee.”

He showed a pictograph box to the multi-legged figure.

“Careful with it. It’s not mine. I took it from my buddy while he wasn’t looking.”
July 7, 2025 at 7:16 AM
“ You kind of sound like a friend of mine.. I think you two would probably get along, ” he mumbled.
Referring to his friend Edwin, anyways. Quite the odd man. Lyle couldn't help but wonder how he's doing as he pulled out a leftover, cold chicken sandwich.

“ But .. huh? ”
— beyond human comprehension.”

He seemed to know a lot more than he was letting on.

“What kind of photos do you like to take most?”
July 7, 2025 at 6:51 AM
“ S-so many friendly faces .. it's hard to interact with them all. ”
July 7, 2025 at 4:34 AM
“ Sure - and uh .. no, no it's just whoever looks out there. I uh..
Well, I tried to take a photo of it. I'm - I'm a photographer. ”

Stammering out as he made his way to the cabinets, his numerous legs tapped across the floor, so unafraid to put his back to them.

“ A-allergies —? ”
“Not hurt. Luckily, I’m fine. A snack does sound nice, though.”

The human-like figure tried to get a better look at the owner of the apartment. They seemed bigger than a human. How strange.

“Is everyone here suffering from what’s out there? I’m still trying to figure things out.”
A neighbor .. another one that looked tainted already. His eyes remained wide from behind the folds of his cover, not blinking once, trying to analyze him.
Another one who might end up in the side rooms for his own safety.

“ I'm Lyle. You're .. A-are you hurt? Hungry? ” Click-click.
July 7, 2025 at 2:22 AM

“ I'm Lyle. You're .. A-are you hurt? Hungry? ” Click-click.
The human-like figure carefully stepped inside. The apartment was fairly dark, much like the rest of the building. What caught his eye was the figure cloaked in what appeared to be a blanket.

“Thanks for letting me in.”

He smiled brightly.

“The name’s Majora. What’s yours?”
“ H-hello - uh .. hold on! I was - working on something —— ”

Clicking, repeated and in different tones, came out in waves from behind that doorway as he closed it briefly. The tip-tapping of an unknown amount of legs didn't help as he finally cracked his door again.

“ Come in, please! ”
July 7, 2025 at 1:13 AM

Tch.

[He shoves the picture back at the cloaked figure.]

I don't have the time for that. You saw, so just tell me what the guy looked like. That's all I need.
﹙ As he blinked, the low whirring of mechanisms accompanied him registering the endeavor worked. Wow, people here were gullible .. at least enough to earn food. ﹚

I do, but it'd take me a day to develop, and you'd have to come back here..
If you want to do that, I could at a discount-?

“ Come in, please! ”
On the other side of the eyehole was a strange man. One with four horns on each side of his head. The most striking feature was his orange eyes glowing softly.

“Hello? Is anyone in there? I ran into this apartment building to hide, but it looks like many of the residents have fully mutated.”
What met those noises was panic. Sheer, real panic.

The kind of startling fear that only came to those with a real reason to stay hidden. All the same .. it couldn't be another monster, right? A worse one.

So he put his face to his door, cracking it, staring out to see who's waiting.
July 6, 2025 at 7:35 PM
ooc.

Gnight- I'll get to replies tomorrow :D

There was a knock on the apartment door. Does the shutterbug dare open it, or does he refuse to look at what may be on the other side?

[Sigh. Of course.]

And you wouldn't happen to have any of this, would you?
Proton .. O-okay. Serious, I guess..

﹙ Lyle stepped closer, somewhat more comfortable - enough to lean over and look over his arms at the picture, as if he hadn't just been staring at it. ﹚

You need developing fluid and a dark room. Don't let it get hit by too much light until then.
July 6, 2025 at 4:43 AM

Thank you-?? my god, awh,,,

Proton. That's all you need to know about me.

[He stares at the dark photo.]

How long until this develops? It's the kind that develops in air, right?
﹙ That picture would also need developing fluid, a dark room, along with careful procedure.
He was betting on being needed for more. Not to mention he knew his .. talent would kick in upon its clarity. ﹚

A minute before I sss-said something.

What's your name, by the way?

[He takes the photo, looking it over. The figure was still hard to make out in the dark canvas.]

Yeah. Sure looks like it could use more time... When did you take this one?
Too bad, about the offense..

﹙ An arm reached out from the depths, taking his time to ruffle through the containers.
Satisfied, he pulled it into his curtain to be suspended.. somehow, soon extending out the polaroid. ﹚

It still needs developed. If you do, the problem's.. fixed.
