[ Hundreds upon hundreds of photos are hung on string lights all over the wall, each attached with a little wooden clothes pin. Along with the photos are various notes and small mementos, tied on like ornaments with colorful bits of strings and ribbons. ]
[ On a small table pushed up against the wall are pens and paper, strings and clothes pins, and even a small printer for printing photos from your phone, in case party guests would like to make any contributions. ]
[The photos seem largely arranged by unit. They're pictures of individuals as well as groups. Pictures of people doing stupid lives, or chilling out at home. Pictures taken during weird games, people wearing Halloween costumes, and dressed for prom and masquerades. Hundreds of happy moments as far as your eyes can see.]
[ mostly just looking at the pictures of cobalt specifically; she knows him well enough to recognize his face, mostly, but she doesn't know most of pep very well otherwise. (she's also not particularly looking for her own face, but she'll look if she notices any.)
that said, while she's looking through them she'll also pause at the bamboo. and, uncertainly, she'll pick up a tag and a pen and write in small letters, trying to fit everything, it's a bit cramped:
keep loving strongly
if i were able 2 love maybe yo
i co
maybe 1 d

gives up and just ties it on as is, but. heads back up to the upstairs room where the notebook is again. ]
[It's easy to find pictures of Cobalt because he's in most of them. These are all his photos, after all, and he was there when they were taken.]
[The Wild City section isn't actually very big. There are a lot of pictures of Talon, though — Cobalt and Talon trying in vain to get a plush from a crane game at the arcade; Talon hanging out at the pep dorm when it was covered top to bottom in lanterns, just like this house is now; one where Talon is a mermaid and he's shooting a huge coeurl with a squirt gun. A bunch of miscellaneous ones where they're hanging out and having cookies or shooting the shit or whatever.
There are a couple pictures of Coyote, though not many. There's one of her and Cobalt playing games together in the arcade, and a a handful of pictures of her and Yugi hanging out, looking cute. There's a picture of her at her graduation.
And, of course, there are plenty of pictures of Nychta. There's one of her being a wallflower at prom, wearing a leopard-print dress. There's her in a skirt at the water fight at the lake, and one of her sitting on the ground with a coeurl sitting beside her, his massive head in her lap and making a blissful cat face while she pets and cuddles him. There's a picture of him sitting beside a chimaera, and one of Nychta wearing his pajamas and bundled under some blankets in the pep dorm. There's one where Cobalt and Nychta both look older, chilling in the onsen with some sake. There's another where they're both in the onsen again, but Nychta's straddling his lap and neither of them are wearing anything at all (when was this taken? goodness.)
There's a picture of the day Nychta came back from her transfer, and the image is a little blurry, like he was a little too excited to hold the camera steady.]
[The bamboo looks cheerful with your tag upon it. It looks like a bamboo that will keep loving very strongly indeed.]
[You can head back upstairs whenever you're ready.]
[ she. does pause-- she didn't expect that many pictures at all. Or the ones of Coyote, which she sort of... frowns lightly at, rueful, before going back to the rest.
... but also squinting at the onsen pictures, because she remembers the FEELING, secondhand, from his feelings, but she genuinely has no idea who this woman is. she can barely recognize herself in the mirror-- it's only the crocodile tail that makes her suspicious and confused. when did this happen...?

[Are you looking for anyone in particular? ]
