[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!]

Oh, I couln't possibly! It wouldn't be right to charge for it when it doesn't cost me anything! Really, I don't mind at all! We're all in the same tough situation, so it it's the least I could do.

[And this is why Tohru would be absolutely terrible at running a restaurant if they were at home. She would be so easily swayed by anyone's sob story that she would never, ever turn a profit, no matter how good the food was. The restaurant would close in a week because she's really not cut out to be a businesswoman. But in Wonderland that doesn't matter at all!]

Okay then! I'll be here all day, so please come by whenever it's most convenient for you! I'll make sure there are some ready for when you arrive.

[He seemed so wary that she can't help feeling like maybe she should package them up for him anyway...]

That's one way to keep yourself busy.

_{[Somebody like Zachariah or Crowley would eat her alive, that's for sure. Even Adam, who'd at one point been an honest and straightforward person to a fault, has to really question who he's talking to. A Care Bear?]}

Don't worry about that, it's no big deal.

_{[Really, it's not...]}

[breakthecurse]

It sort of helps to keep busy, I think! I never really know what to do with myself if there isn't something for me to be doing.

[Tohru's not very good at just staring at walls, especially when others are trying their hardest to help. If there's something, anything she can do, then she'll do it! But if there's nothing, then she feels a bit restless.]

It's no trouble at all!

[Really, it's not!]

[halfwinchester]

<sub>[He sort of understands that, from the perspective of someone who doesn't want anything to do with himself if he's not distracting himself. There's being still and finding some kind of inner quietness, and then there's stagnating, the latter of which opens the door to all sorts of bad memories.

He's not very good at the former.]</sub>

If that's your thing.

_{[Who's he to judge? Maybe this over the top niceness is a girl's way of coping.]}

Thanks.

[breakthecurse]

[It really is, a little more than she's willing to admit out loud (or in text).]

Um, I suppose you could call it my thing?

[She doesn't sound terribly familiar with that expression, but keeping busy is a thing she does so...probably??]

But you're welcome! I'll see you later then, okay?

[halfwinchester]

_{[Then sure, let's go with that. If someone genuinely wants to try and keep misery from closing in, all the power to 'em.]}

Okay.
