[The feed starts off in what looks like a small office. Hayato leans down, checking the Omni over to make sure it's working before he cracks a grin. Behind him, there's half a dozen lines of string with tons of photos clipped up and hanging.]Good morning, Trench! Ichimonji Hayato, here. I'm a relatively recent arrival, so you may not know me, but I have something that may be of interest to the town.
[He scoots back in his chair, picking up the Omni, and carries it over to a string of photos.]I'm a freelance photographer by trade, and I've been working my
ass off trying to figure out how photo development works here. I've taken a lot of test photos, blown through my meager film rolls, but after a lot of trial and error, I think I've gotten something passable!
[He will start to pass the Omni along each of the photos hanging on the string. They're mostly photos of Trenchies or even Sleepers he might have flagged down for info on his first few weeks here. There's some architecture in the photos, but most of it is people.]Using blood magic instead of chemicals has been kind of a learning curve! But I'm way too stubborn to give up, which is why I'm happy to say that the photos I was hired to take for Wu-san and Mako-san's wedding are all done! There were a lot of people in these photos, and I always keep my negatives, so while the first packet are for our newly weds, anyone who remembers me taking their photo is welcome to hit me up for copies!
[There is a pause and he moves to a completely different string of photos. These are not the wedding photos, those are private unless Wu and Mako give him permission to show them off, but instead these next photos are ...very different in theme. He begins to show off some photos of the base camp, just before the Leviathan attack.]Moving along to my next project--
[His voice is a lot more somber now.]Just before the Leviathan struck, I took a lot of photos around the base camp. Some of you might remember seeing me. That battle ...it was gruesome and terrible. It was hard won with a great deal of sacrifice, but I wanted to say that ...we
did win, and everyone's hard work should be acknowledged and appreciated. The city was saved and the people who gave everything they had to protect it are heroes in every sense.
To that end, my goal with these photos was to show the city, to show everyone, the face of these hard working people. To see the spirit of those who came together to take down this threat. I have these photos up in my studio for anyone who'd like to come and see.
[After a moment the Omni returns to where it was first, sitting on his desk. Hayato's somber expression brightens up into something more cheerful, once again.]That's about all of it, I think. Hope you all have a lovely day!
[The feed will end, but there is an attachment for a physical address and lamp location for his studio.]
[ooc: For both the Wuko Wedding photos and the Base Camp Leviathan photos, feel free to assume Hayato took your photo, even if we did not thread! (RL got hectic for me in the end) For the base camp photos, Hayato would have asked for consent to keep the photos, and he is open to taking anything down if someone changes their mind! The Leviathan photos are of base camp only. Nothing was taken once the fight started.]
[The thread is open to both Network responses and Action tags for visiting his studio!]
