Summary: New camera for Ritsuka
the Story:

It would appear that Jr had arrived at the library first, azure eyes scanning what seemed an empty expanse before he took to checking between bookcases, though again he wouldn’t find anyone else present. With the assurance that he didn’t merely fail to spot Ritsuka (and with his height it’d be a wonder if he ever overlooked anyone), the redhead found a chair to seat himself in, looking over his handiwork.

The camera was definitely modeled after the one he’d seen the boy use, much as he thought it resembled a box, modified from bits of his own equipment. Those things hadn’t been terribly useful to him in this place so it was no massive loss, and it had been something of an adventure to make something like this. Though it resembled Ritsuka’s camera and worked under the same basic mechanics in terms of controls, it was likely to be a vast improvement.

He doubted that other camera had a terabyte of memory, and though it seemed minimal to Jr, he’d assumed that anything larger was going to be difficult to even explain. Having a camera that could hold as much data as every computer in the mansion combined times ten was likely not something Ritsuka would have an easy time getting his mind around, and thus he’d limited the amount of memory to something a bit more concrete. A thousand gigabytes was a terabyte.

It could record video and audio data, taking photographs or videos, had a removable memory chip, whatever the U.R.T.V. could think of that the kid might use. All of it worked like the other machine seemed to have, pressing a button to execute a recording command, but there was a lot more capacity, if not better resolution.

The fact that it was damn near impossible to break was a bonus.

Done with his inspection, Jr set it down on the table nearby along with the books, leaning back in his chair as he looked around. This was the second time he’d been in the library. Strange he hadn’t come by more often.

Ritsuka peeked inside the library before completely entering it. He stared amongst the bookshelves remembering his last visit here. He had met Robin then. The girl who posed as a boy. He still didn't quite understand her logic and he never would. The thought of souls leaving and entering the body through a different person made Ritsuka's mind blank. He could never imagine that happening if you tried to bring someone back from the dead.

He wondered, for a moment, if the books he had left were still here. He turned a corner, and found that they had been left in the same pile he had dropped them from before. No one had bothered to reshelve the books. Picking them up, Ritsuka decided he would return them to where they should belong. As he was about to do that he saw Jr huddled over his camera as if inspecting it.

Ritsuka blinked and holding the books, made his way to the table. He placed them down and sat at the sit across from Jr. "Sorry I'm late.." His eyes were fixed on the camera, it looked pretty much the same. He wondered what Jr had done to it and if his pictures were still on there.

Jr had tangented from what he'd managed to create to how he was able, which stemmed over to where he was from. Overall not a cheerful avenue for his mind to tread, he'd been left wondering where his friends were. If they were alright and the fact that in this place he was of no help to them.

To someone who held friends paramount, such thoughts didn't bode well. However hearing Ritsuka's greeting he looked up and smiled as was typical of him. He'd have to do his best here to figure things out and not mope. He'd done enough of that already thanks to these weird moments of relived memory the mansion seemed to see fit to giving.

Holding up the camera then, he showed it to Ritsuka. It probably didn't look like much but he'd thought a lot about how to explain everything he'd done with it. "No problem. Here's your camera, a bit closer to my world's standards now."

"Wow. It's.." Ritsuka took it and examined it. He turned it on and noticed there were all these new features. He could figure out how to use them with sometime and he was fascinated by what Jr how done with his camera.

"How did you do this?" he took a quick, candid picture of Jr just to see what it would look like on the screen. Crisp and clear, a huge improvement from what he had had before.

Jr was a bit surprised to be photographed but at least the flash wasn't so bad now that he'd remodeled the machine. Why all that excess light was needed, he could only guess at. He should probably expect that Ritsuka would try it so that in mind he turned his focus to the question.

"Had a few things lying around that I wasn't going to be able to use here, so I used those to modify the camera. I've always been pretty good with things like that." Not as adept at programming, of course, but that was more of a Shion or MOMO skill.

"Oh..so you put more stuff into it," Weird. Although, Ritsuka liked this new camera, he looked through the menu and there were alot more features than he had on his old one. At this, he smiled. "I can make movies."

He wondered how his friends would have reacted. The ones back home would like it, he thought about how Yuiko would probably talk into it all day. "Thanks.."

At the least, Jr was really glad Ritsuka liked it. He'd been concerned about the other's capacity to get downtrodden at times, though this was a trait he'd certainly shared. It never seemed as important as someone else feeling down.

"You're welcome. It should be waterproof and pretty hard to break." He remembered shooting that thing Hikaru'd been recording his fight with Kyou on, which had inspired the idea. Likely Ritsuka wouldn't try blackmailing anyone with the thing. Seemed too nice for that. "If you do need something fixed though, I can handle it."

Waterproof too. This camera had all sorts of features. The possiblities seemed endless. Ritsuka was going to have to take more pictures of his friends. "Do I print them out the same way?"

"Yeah, and you've got a terabyte of space so that's about a thousand gigabytes." The computers in the mansion had the capacity for some number of gigs so Jr figured it wouldn't be too far out an explanation. "There's a secondary memory card in it that you can copy things to in case, also. Should be able to save a lotta pictures."

Ritsuka blinked. All he knew was that that was alot of memory. "I'll never run out." His old pictures were still in the camera too. And he had a countless number of space left to take pictures and do as he wished. I want to show this to Seimei. Ritsuka's mind randomly wandered.

The expression that seemed to come over Ritsuka's features seemed enough of a hint that he probably wanted to go out and give the upgraded machine a try. Show it off possibly.

He couldn't... okay, he could read minds to some degree but he wasn't going to.

"If you want, you can go try it out on different things. I can visit with you later or something." Jr was pleased that Ritsuka was happy with it, and given where they were it wasn't terribly inconvenient to meet up and do something at a later time.

"Really? Okay. I'll show you how they all turn out." he nodded. Excited he left the library, forgetting to say goodbye, but waving by the time he got to the exit.
