[Tohru is broadcasting from the diner. It's all set up very deliberately, as this is an on-purpose post and not an accidental one or anything like that, and Tohru is standing behind the counter, wearing her little pink polaroid camera around.]

Hello everyone! I hope you're all doing well.

[And she gives a very tiny little wave.]

Ah, I had two things I wanted to say. I'll try to be quick though. Um, first...I've been practicing a little more at baking, and I wanted to try decorating cookies, so...I have a lot left over here in the diner, if anyone would like some.

[She reaches out and tilts the camera down so everyone can see two platters of cookies on the counter, in fruit and flower shapes. They actually turned out very well! After everyone's gotten a good look, she tilts the camera back up to where it was and smiles. She pulls a photo album out from under the counter and holds it up so it can be seen. ]

And the other thing I wanted to say was that, well. A lot of new people have come to Wonderland recently, it seems! Ah, hello, by the way - my name is Tohru Honda and it's nice to meet you, if you're watching. But, since people come and go very often, I've been trying to keep a photo album so we'll have something to remember people by when they do leave Wonderland. I only started it a couple of months ago, but I would like to try and take everyone's picture at some point, if that's okay. Um, it's also good for seeing who else has been here in the past, or at least I hope it will be when it's been here long enough. I know it isn't much but...its something I can do to help, so I'd like to keep it going as long as I possibly can!

[By the end of that, she looks very determined! She's not much of a fighter or anything like that. She isn't very strong physically, but she can take pictures and keep a record and make cute cookies! And everyone should be doing everything they can, right?]

So, um. If you'd like to have your picture taken, or if you'd like any cookies, please stop by the diner. It's in the first room on the eighth floor. Thank you very much and have a nice day!

[She gives another little wave, and the camera clicks off.]

[ooc: Hey guys! If you want to be in the Photo Album but would rather handwave it please comment over here and I'll add your character to the post! Tohru is in the diner really often, and she isn't shy about asking people she doesn't know very well, so you do NOT have to have CR with Tohru in order to be in the photo album!]

Thank you! Ah, it's true though. People come and go very often here. There are some people who have been here a very long time, but others who disappear again after just a few weeks. It's...hard to tell, especially since we have no control over it.

[It's all Wonderland's doing, and they don't have much say in it at all.]

I'd say that seems a bit mad, but well... [Given the place is mad...]

[Video]

[breakthecurse]

[She laughs, just a little tiny bit.]

People do say that about Wonderland a lot, don't they? "We're all mad here"? I don't think that's really true, but I've heard it said a lot here.

[She's not terribly familiar with the books or the cartoon or anything like that, but that's what that's from, right?]

[Video]

[crux_ofmylife]

I have heard that a couple of times since coming here.

[He has almost no familiarity with the books or cartoon. The Dursleys can be thanked for that.]

Have you been here longer than a few months or is the photo album just a more recent idea?

[Video]

[breakthecurse]

Ah, it's a more recent idea. I've been here...about a year now, I think.

[It's a tiny bit worrisome that she has to think about it, but it feels like the year has gone by really quickly for Tohru.]

I started it a few months ago. Wonderland gave me a camera for Christmas, so it seemed like a good idea to put it to use. So many people have gone since I came here, people I wish I had photographs of now...and I don't think I'm the only person who feels this way. And Wonderland can be a dangerous place sometimes too, so I thought it might be good to have a record of the people who have been here, in case anything happens.

It's a very good idea. Is that the only camera in Wonderland?

[Video]

[breakthecurse]

No, I think there are others. I believe it's something that could be obtained from the closets? I had never thought about it before I was given one though. To be honest I...don't know very much about photography. But the pictures pop right out of this one like magic! I didn't know cameras like this even existed! I'm really grateful for it.

If I happen on one, I'll be glad to help you with your project. Assuming you'd like help.

[breakthecurse]

Oh! I-I, um, I wouldn't want you to feel obligated, or for you to go out of your way to try and find a camera, but that would be really nice of you, if you do come across one. There's no way I could ever possibly meet everyone here by myself, so that...that might help a lot! Thank you very much!

[Video]

[crux_ofmylife]

I don't mind in the least. It'll give me something to do when this place isn't trying to drive me mad.

[Video]

[breakthecurse]

That's true, I suppose. [And she giggles just a little.]

Ah, would it be okay if I took your photograph too?

[Video]

[crux_ofmylife]

Of course. I'll come by so you can.

[breakthecurse]

Great! Thank you so much. I really appreciate it!
