Welcome to Gaia! ::

"This looks great."

Toki holds up the filter she bought on Fearazon, admiring it for a moment before forcibly taping it to the front of her camera, which clearly was not actually meant to hold camera filters. Sure, it may have come from an unrated store, and sure, the listing suspiciously disappeared once she bought it, but boy does it look sparkly.

"Let's try a selfie. Did I say that right? Selllllfy--WOAH."



"What happened to my hair? What happened to my eyes? What happened to my antlers?!"

The panic lasts for about a second before she starts looking around, trying to find another victim volunteer to try it on.

October was there, somewhere. Possibly asleep against a tree.

He also may have wandered accidentally into the camp.

"Hellooo! Oh my. What perfect timing."

She slides up, holding up her polaroid and modified camera.

"Would you like a photo--WAIT what's that rustling oh god the murderers have finally come I knew this forest was dangerous--oh hey, a free sweater!"

"Uuuuh, Toki, you probably should give that back," Joy strongly encouraged the student. Considering how she would have reacted had someone taken her sweater, she was just glad the ankle-grab was all October had done. The two hunters were given amused smiles.

Seren watched Toki grab the sweater, and was about to intervene, then watched the ensuing nonsense. She turned a little, covering her face so as not to laugh out loud IN Toki's face, and she took several deep breaths. Finally, she emerged and said "Hello, Toki. No, October is not undead, or a student. He is a human like Joy and myself. He just happens to like naps. He's very nice, however."

She gave Joy an amused smile. "Did not realize you had duty out here today. Nice to see people I know." She walked over, hugged Joy, then walked over and hugged Toki too, before whispering "Guess what, he's my boyfriend now."

And then she grinned at the photo question. "Yes! Your photos are always the BEST." She had a bright, warm smile, and as a joke, did the V sign she always saw in photos when she looked up Korean fashion, trying to learn about what was going on in that half of her heritage.

"Oh my. I was sure he was dead. He was impressively still. You were impressively still," She says, to the bundled up head October. "I am Toki! But, uh, how did you know? I don't think I introdu--are you a psychic? Stop looking into my brain. Stop looking into my brain!"

She turns back to Seren. "OH. OHHHH. Congratulations are in order! Finally! Haha, humans have finite lifetimes. You must, uh...I forget how the phrase goes. Seive the day. Something like that. Anyway!"



"How sparkly. Why is my own photo not as pretty? Huh? Camera?"

The camera remains impassively silent. Almost smug.

Seren began to laugh when October called Joy 'Other Seren.' "October, this is Joy. Joy, this is October." She looked extremely amused. "And no, October, I don't think Toki is a zombie. Unless Zombies have antlers now?"

She glanced at Toki, and said "I mean, I did say your name in front of him, maybe he heard it?" She suggested, trying to calm the excitable young student down. She accepted the photo, and beamed. "This is super neat! And I think you mean 'seize the day.' Carpe Diem, and all that." She blinked a little, as Toki talked to her camera. "What does your photo look like?"

She glanced at Joy, giving her a beaming smile regarding the hair comment, and said "Yeah I can see this place as NOT MUCH FUN in winter. Siberia was not much fun either. Winter is already on, there..."

"I've seen you before," October informed Toki somberly. "A few weeks ago. Or months. Maybe years. Time is irrelevant, in the grand scheme of things."

He didn't seem to need or want any help getting up, mostly because he wasn't getting up at all. October rearranged the sweater-scarf more securely around his neck (it really was very comfortable) and said, "If you take a picture of someone, does it take their soul with it?"
