Tommy grins to himself as he follows along as best he can behind her. It was nice to be able to help another person, "Rock on, lead the way."

Joliette moved in silence, looking around as she moved, moving in and out of secluded places, she was still very much avoiding people as much as possible, she was still afraid of reactions. Eventually she stopped at the stairs that led up to the dark room and looked up at the boarded duplex. "It's on the desk... bring it down here" she tipped her nose towards the lower duplex with it's newly added rope and wood handle pull

Tommy nods as he looks up at the duplex, "Alrighty..." he says moreso to himself as he makes his way up the stairs and into said duplex. It takes him a good five minutes up there, trying to manipulate the wires and bundle up all the necessities in one easy to cary package, but he finally manages. He comes down the stairs warily, being very cautious about how he places his feet.
"Phew...not too bad...haven't lost all that much strength...where to now, boss?" he says with a grin.

Joli had opened the door with the new 'handle' and left it open, she was in teh darkened duplex, the only real light being that which came in from the open door as teh curtains were closed. "Just put it down here on teh floor and uhm if you can open the lid... then you need your hard drive.. is it external?"

Tommy does as he's instructed, visibly relaxing in the darkened enclosed space. With a groan, he places it down on the ground, separating wires and the like. Using mostly just his thumb and the bottom of his index finger he is able to plug in all that needs such things.
He stands once more and there are a few audible pops from his hips, "Alrighty...Yeah...mind if I run back to my duplex to go get it? It's not too far away."

"Yah go grab it, it's gonna take me time to get this thing running anyways... lack of fingers and all... going to have to be all claws" she nods looking up at him a moment before starting to attempt to run the laptop. This in itself isn't easy without fingers, more then once she had to stop and back up cause her claws poked more then one key when they shouldn't have when typing in passwords and the like.

Tommy nods a few times and slips out into the evening air. It takes him a little while, but he finally reenters Joliette's duplex with a backpack over one shoulder. "Here we are..." he says as he lets it slide over his shoulder, arm, and fingers to the ground before starting to open it up and taking out the external hard drive.

By the time he'd returned she'd finally finished loading everything up and she was currently looking at her esktop which was littered in a couple dozen icons of files and folders. "The plug spot is in the right side I think" she says turning her head to look up at him

"Alright, cool...lemme just...plug this in," he says as he gets down on his knees to do just that. It takes him a few tries with his oddly shaped hands, but he finally manages it. With a soft whir, a grin light blips up on the hard drive showing it's working. Tommy grin from ear to ear, suddenly extremely excited. In the new folder that should pop up, Joliette would find a few folders. Music, games, writings, and finally: pictures.

"Music, what kind of music are you into I wonder" she muses getting journalistically curious as she scans the folder names "Writings? Interesting... Aha I presume you want photos" she says as her eyes land on the last folder on the list and with a lot of diffuculty selecting it "I swear I'm going to have to find a new way to do this..."

"Oh...all kinds I guess. I've got a lot of classic rock...some heavy metal...a bunch of newer stuff...a little bit of rap...no country though," he says with an overly exagerated shudder. He grins as he watches her work, "Nothing too great in writings...a few poems, a couple of short stories...and a lot of papers I did for classes.
A genuine smile crosses his face as she opens the pictures folder. There are over a hundred photos there. Quite a few marked in a folder called "Basic Training," others in "funny stuff," and a large majority of them are in the "friends and family" folder.

"Ok photos... now we get a little technical here" her voice half kidding and half serious as she minimizes the folder and eventually manages to boot up her photo program, and after even more time manages to get the folder selected to browse, all the thumbnails popping up on the screen one at a time, the thumbnails loaded in at least 150x150 pixels each so it was quite visible which each was

Tommy just watches as she works. He takes a quick intake of breath as he sees the first small photos pop up on screen. "Christ..." he mutters to himself in awe. He sniffs and looks away for a moment, trying to keep his emotions under control.

"Not bad, not bad at all" of course, she didn't hear his mutter, it was too low of a tone for her hearing to pick up, she was commeting at the quality of the photos as they moved past on the screen "You have paper for these?"

Tommy looks back to the screen as she scrolls through his pictures. They show his family in various degrees of mirth. From a day at a theme park to drunken merryment from Mardi Gras. They also show Tommy...back when he was human. The bat-man just stares at these for a moment before replying. "Hmm? Oh...uh...no, not really. I was hoping I could steal some from you," he says with a sheepish grin.
