an experiment of sorts.

[The photograph in his hands is of a shattered wrist watch sprawled on a sidewalk. He drops it as soon as he realizes what it means.]

[immortalizes]

[ He kneels to catch the photo, giving it a glance before offering it back to Steven. ]

You dropped this.

[didnotwant]

[He doesn't take it back. Instead, he gives Sven a look from head to toe with a frown, as if asking what he's doing there.]

[immortalizes]

[ He was never much of a communication inclined person, but for his job, body language is something you have to know so he shrugs in response. ]

The same as you, my friend. [ He drops the photo, face down, on the table by the bed. ]

[brosb4pianos]

Wh-- Hey! How'd you get a picture of my mom and dad?

[twowithin]

[ The boy doesn't see anything but his most recent life, for all of his past has been erased. He picks a photo on the wall of Team Delta, an offensive force he is part of, but in truth, he can't say it's the most important moment - maybe there were moments left behind that he can't remember - but it's the only one he can have for now. ]

[He peers, hoping Andy won't be too surprised.] Hi!

[twowithin]

[ Looking up to the kid, he blinks, surprised with the sudden intrusion. He lifts up a hand, slowly so, and waves in return. ]

Hello.

[eyesarecreepy]

[The boy just drops his shoulders, stretching a bit. He presses his lips together.]

I'm Eyes.

[verballyderped]

[Oh. Crap. He rips the picture of himself as a kid giving another boy a kiss, shoving it in his pocket. He looks around, pushing his glasses up.]

[That was close. But then he sees more pictures, so he starts searching around for others that may prove to be embarrassing.]

Crapcrapcrap.

[gambletheskill]

[ As he rushes around the room to rip off the pictures from the wall, the girl picks up one that fell off his stash and waits for him to notice her, handing it back to him. She didn't take a peek at it, figuring his embarrassment came from the pictures. ]

You, hm, dropped this one.

[verballyderped]

[It'd be hard not to notice her, but he still jumps when he catches her figure on the corner of his eye.]

OH. [He looks down at the picture, taking a second before quickly taking it into his hands.

What does he do?]

Thanks. Uh. [He's torn between playing it cool or going back to ripping off embarrassing pictures.] B-benny, right?

[gambletheskill]

Yeah. [ She nods quietly to him and fidgets with the hem of her shirt. ] And you're Jim, right?

[ She's no fool and she knows he's embarrassed, so she's trying not to look around to give him the time to pick up the photos that are making so aghast. ]

[honkifyoureadog]

[Stares up at the wall, wagging his tail. There are either pictures of food or people's pockets, or chewing toys.]
