On one hand, Ashdown's weather tended to be kind of mean to camera lenses. Between the fog and the extremely shitty lighting conditions, it was kind of a miracle that Humans of Ashdown had any content at all. On the other...at least there was no glare to fight?

Hah. Okay, considering Edwin was Bostonian born, Ashdown's gloomy weather wasn't really the devil to them, but it wasn't always the most ideal for what they wanted to do. Today wasn't so bad, though, and lately they'd had surprisingly good luck with getting usable photos. That was important, because most people dismissed Edwin as a solicitor. Which they kind of were, but they weren't a money-seeking solicitor, or anything.

Still, the bags of camera equipment that were currently keeping them company on this park bench were an unfortunately good deterrent for passers-by. They weren't a stalker, though. Just...even if they weren't currently administrating it, the blog did need contributors to keep updating, and the interview portion kind of counted as real human contact. Which meant that picking a victim was all on Edwin.

"Hey," they called, to a tiny kid who was hunched over on himself. They waved their camera invitingly, leaning back on their bench as if to demonstrate how nice and comfortable it was. "Got a few minutes to spare?"

The smoothie cup clenched in the tiny kid's hands had kept his attention well until this point. There was a reverence in the way he looked at it, like it was a work of art instead of styrofoam and a straw. He took a sip... peach, his favorite. The energy boost addition he always ordered perked him up for about an hour after finishing, but he could already feel it working its way through his system. It was going to be an okay day.

Or so he hoped, but Jamie had learned a long time ago that crossing your mental fingers was a bigger crapshoot than playing the lottery. He took another sip.

There was a deliberateness to the voice he heard then, enough that it actually tore his mind away from the comfort of his favorite smoothie. He was positive the call wasn't meant for him—why would it be, he wasn't expecting company—but he looked anyway. Whoever they were, they were looking right at him.

"Me?" he mumbled, the straw falling from his mouth, hand to his chest as if he had to make double, no, triple sure. Even though he kinda wanted to say no, that much was obvious in the nervous flush beginning to spread across his cheeks, he had already stopped walking. "Um, I..." He glanced around. "I... yes?"
