[ he picks up one of the "bubbles" - it's a plastic ball? - and tosses it lightly in jonas's direction. ]

Splash.

[ please. ] I think it's a little better. It's at least less orange, which is a point in its favor.

[westedge]

[ he catches it with one hand, rolling it around on his knuckles briefly before tossing it back. ]

I will give it that. Ten points for being less eye-searing, minus three for being questionably suggestive. [ it's a bathtub. ]

[metacognition]

[ oooh, neat skill. he'll catch it when it comes back, shockingly less useless at that then you might expect. maybe. ]

Is this the place for those kind of photos? [ jokingly ] It's a solid mediocre, I agree.

[ as he digs around in his pocket and pulls out his phone. ] Come on, we might as well take one.

[westedge]

[ maybe. might've been a test to see what he could do. ]

Hey man, I don't know how people live their lives. You can't tell me there's a zero chance we have at least one person like that here. [ but he hums a little. photos. right. ]

Call it proof of how ridiculous this is? [ it's not a no though. ]

[metacognition]

[ imagine i had been like "he gets hit in the face" ]

Oh, I'm sure. [ dreamwidth user onlypets (no). but, amused, he leans on the edge of the bathtub and pulls up his phone, turning the camera on to selfie mode.

a bit deadpan, as he holds up the ball with his other hand: ] Cheese.

[westedge]

[ he's leaning in a little and his expression is mostly neutral for a photo! leaning on the tub. trying not to balance too much. cheese. ]

I guess it's a good thing you know what a camera is in the first place.

[metacognition]

[ his is very relaxed, sort of a smile but not really. Mystewious.

anyway this comment makes him chuckle as he examines the picture and holds it out for jonas's inspection. this is a very Ironic TM picture. ]

That is something that seems to afflict a big portion of our group, huh? It's almost hard to imagine living that way.

[westedge]

[ fei du your mystewy. but jonas is looking at the photo before nodding. yes. perfect. ]

Yeah. I've had to explain it to a few people since we've gotten here and every time I do it makes me even more curious what they have instead. But there's the whole...different planes thing. So maybe it's not as weird.

[metacognition]

I'm still getting used to that too, to be honest. [ god... different planes... wild....

fei du shakes his head, quipping - ] The frog surprised me. [ as he tucks his phone back into his pocket. ] Though, he is very nice.

[westedge]

Libby explained a possibility for it and ever since I've kind of decided just not to think that hard about much of this. Seems a lot safer that way. [ but there is. gerard. yes. ] Pretty sure the frog surprised everybody, including the frog. But I've only talked to him a little bit.

...anybody else leave enough of an impression on you yet?

[metacognition]

Depends on what you mean by impression. [ this comes with a little smile. ] We've got quite the interesting crew, don't we? To say people from all walks of life is putting it lightly.

I'm fond of my teammates - well. Wenzhou's passable. The other two are lovely. [ be nice to wenzhou ] What about you?

[westedge]

Interesting's a good word for it. [ oh boy. ]

I haven't spoken to your teammates much but they seem okay. Mine've been...a lot better than I thought. But even before we settled I kind of tried to get an impression of most people here. People like Shenhe, Wolfwood, Vash, Ylfa, Rin, Matsui, D, Shu...they've left some kind.
