[wheft]

So did your true power come back to you yet?

[ HAPPY MARCH 7TH TO THOSE WHO CELEBRATE ]

[bowtography]

I was HOPING...
But no go.

[wheft]

What were you even expecting anyway?

[bowtography]

Maybe for all my memories to come flooding back?
Kidding!
I don't think I expected anything, but it's still an important day to me.

[wheft]

I don't think it's gonna be that easy... You're gonna need someone to hit your head until it all comes back, probably.

[ just taking reference from dante, is all. but also what the fuck ish. ]

So it's kind of a birthday for you?

[bowtography]

Pass. I tried that the first week.

[ Wow. ]

But yeah! I guess the closest thing to a birthday I have.

[wheft]

[ HELLO ]

What do you usually do on your birthdays, then?

[bowtography]

I don't know... I haven't been on the Express for that long.

[ Wow this is pitiful. ]

But I thought maybe I'd go out and get some good photos!

[wheft]

Hmm? Photos of what?

[bowtography]

Sights around the city, animals if I can find any... oh, I'd like to take pictures of my friends, too!
I mean acquaintances!

[wheft]

You... still don't have other friends here?

[bowtography]

I do! But a lot of people are being really stubborn!!

[wheft]

Not all of us are going to be open to friendship right off the bat, you know.

[bowtography]

Yeah, I noticed...
Well, it's fine! It's not easy to trust, I get that.

[wheft]

At least you get that...

Well, in any case, have fun on your supposed birthday then. I don't have anything for you, but I can probably think of something if you give me some time.

[bowtography]

You don't have to give me anything!
Except five minutes, actually!

[wheft]

[ ??? ]

Why five minutes?

[bowtography]

I want to take a picture of you! I've got something back on the train that's sort of like a photo wall, and this won't be quite the same, but I want to try something similar.

[wheft]

A... picture?

[ that's right... pictures can last forever, even when the people in them are gone.

hmm. ]

That's not actually a bad idea. Where do you want to take it?

[bowtography]

[ Wow, that took far less persuading than expected. ]

Do you have a favorite spot around here?

[wheft]

[ gotta keep people like march on their toes by going along with their whims every now and then ]

The... pool in the rec room, I guess? I like dipping my toes there and relax.

[ of course. ]

[bowtography]

[ No, Ishmael, don't you know that only gives them power-- ]

Spoken like a sailor! [ she guesses. ]

That should work! We can get a couple of good shots of you at the pool!

[wheft]

You said that it's only for five minutes. If it turns out to be some kind of photoshoot, I'm not interested.

[ look just because she's chill now doesn't mean that she can un-chill completely... ]

[bowtography]

One picture, and then one more in case the other one doesn't turn out!
Calm down, I'm not trying to trick you!

[wheft]

All right, all right. I'll meet you there in 5 minutes.

[ she's not going into the water though, when march comes to meet her. she's just idling near some workout equipment while waiting for the bday girl. ]
