[When it's his turn, Henry blank-faces for a bit and actually considers asking to be skipped. Somehow he didn't think Crow or Heather would let that happen. He swaps his bag of marshmallows out for Burger and plops the cat pokemon into his lap so he'll have something to pet. OH GOD PUBLIC SPEAKING.]

[Burger digs it though. Attentioooons <3]

I'm not a very good story-teller. Sorry.

I took a lot of photography classes in collage and the building we were in wasn't very well-kept on one side. That was the side the dark room was in. Whenever we had to develop something it was like...walking into another building completely. I think most of us decided it was haunted.

[Henry goes quiet and tries to gather up more words. He didn't have very many.]

One night, I had to stay late because some of my film got destroyed and reshoot some stuff. I was walking towards the dark room and heard noises coming out of it--like...moans. It sounded like someone was in pain. It had to be the ghosts, right?

[Henry looks thoughtful. He wondered what it ( ... )

foolishwren September 3 2011, 19:17:41 UTC

[... Okay so Heather is kind of immature.]

Haha, gross.

Who does it in a darkroom, seriously.

[She already knows the serial-killer story, so she'll let him get on with it for the others.]

Art students are weird.

[ 8I ]

If I had a marshmallow for every time I've walked in on us art kids doing stuff like that I'd have...a lot of marshmallows.

foolishwren September 3 2011, 20:00:56 UTC

[Judging by the fact that he's decimated almost an entire bag all by himself, Heather would guess that he probably DOES have a marshmallow for every time he walked in on art kids makin' out.]

Still, though. I mean, come on.

no_ufo_ending September 3 2011, 20:06:12 UTC

Well it's creepy on that side of the building. I guess they thought they'd take advantage of nobody going over there to bother them.

[He looks thoughtful and wrinkles his nose a little.]

It sure wasn't the best smelling room though.

foolishwren September 3 2011, 20:11:08 UTC

... Ewwwww.

[Okay so Heather's had drunken high-school makeout sessions in unpleasant places before, but still. Ew.]

no_ufo_ending September 3 2011, 20:14:13 UTC

...Well now that I think about it, the fumes int he chemical dips do get you sort of loopy.

Maybe it enhanced the experience.

[Henry looks thoughtful. He may or may not have lit up in there a time or two. His pictures looked awesome.]

Ha ha somebody got caught developing naked pictures once. They would have shrugged it off as photography majors being...photography majors but it turns out they weren't even in the class.

foolishwren September 3 2011, 20:38:50 UTC

Did they get booted out?

[Heather didn't even bother applying for colleges after she graduated... Douglas had tried to encourage her, but no matter how many nights she spent sitting in his cluttered apartment with stacks of forms in front of her, she almost always wound up giving up after the first few blanks had been filled.]

[Now that she's talking to someone who actually WENT, the shenanigans make her curious.]

no_ufo_ending September 3 2011, 20:46:32 UTC

[Henry the silent has seen MANY MANY SHENANIGANS.]

I don't remember. I just remember being in the room and not recognizing the people in the photos.

[Henry's blank-face shifts enough to suggest that they hadn't been very pleasant naked photos.]

Now that I think back on it...parts of that building reminded me of...Y'know. Weird.

foolishwren September 3 2011, 20:53:58 UTC

Weird? ... Like, weird weird?

[Not everybody in the little traveling group knows about Silent Hill... and Heather's not ENTIRELY sure she wants that can of worms cracked open. Kaito knows, but still.]

no_ufo_ending September 3 2011, 20:57:03 UTC

Weird.

[HOW SPECIFIC.]

Anyway, I never did see a real ghost in that building.

foolishwren September 3 2011, 21:00:09 UTC

Just make-out apparitions?

no_ufo_ending September 3 2011, 21:21:58 UTC

Heh, yeah.

And the spooky lingering scents of questionable substances.

[Aaaahaha that's not FILM in those little black canisters.]

I kind of miss it....photography. Not the walking in on make-outs.

[He tugs his poke'gear out of his pocket and fumbles with it, apparently getting ready to take a photo of her.]

foolishwren September 3 2011, 22:15:02 UTC

[That's right, Henry isn't the walking-in type-- he'd just rather watch people through a hole in the wall AMIRITE HENRY?]

[Heather blinks when he takes out his 'Gear. ... And then realizes what he's doing and immediately makes the goofiest face she can manage. Along with a double thumbs-up.]

no_ufo_ending September 4 2011, 02:47:04 UTC

[Henry actually cracks a grin and snaps the photo. He turns the 'gear around so she can see herself.]

You should model.

foolishwren September 4 2011, 05:16:32 UTC

[When she catches sight of the screen (she'd been making a cross-eyed Myspace duck-face in addition to the thumbs-up, and had her arm around Cujo while she was at it-- Cujo just sort of had a PERMANENT funny face, so he'd been worthy of inclusion), she starts to laugh.]

Hahah, right?!

I'd be perfect.
