Or- well, there's the machine in the student union. I was shown how to use it.
[she fishes out her notebook, opening just the front cover-- there are a few purikura pics inside of lucretia and taichi. her smile is mostly reserved and cautious, more like she's posing for a proper portrait, though in one she's cracked a wider grin at a pose taichi pulled.]
More of a personal sort of reminder, but-- maybe having things like this will help.
-no, I don't think it's that strange. We need those sorts of things to hold onto, or-- well, the doom and gloom will end up becoming too heavy for you to bear.
[and maya's still young enough to manage that well enough, she thinks.]
If you'd ever like to join me to make more of them, I wouldn't mind it.
Well, we'll see about that, but I appreciate your confidence.
[thanks for assigning her, maya... that's sweet of you.
after a few moments' consideration, though:]
Maybe we could stand to have a little bit of distraction after everything, if you're up for a short trip.
[there's no telling what comes tomorrow, after all, and what she doesn't say aloud is either of them could be picked. it could go differently, this time.]
[off they gooo to find the purikura photobooth! time to just set things aside, for a bit-- she knows she isn't going to stop thinking about it, not really, but she can still manage this.]
I've only used this once or twice, but... I'm sure we'll manage. Do you have any preferences, Maya?
[it's not difficult to get it set up, at least, so they can start taking photos-- just like the ones with taichi that maya saw, though, she's more or less treating it like a portrait, with a somewhat cautious smile.]
-the tickling absolutely works, though, and they're going to get at least a couple of pictures of lucretia laughing and lightly shoving at her shoulder. mission successful.]

[ maya's still looking at her arm with a hint of worry ]
no subject
[just a brief, quiet reassurance, there.]
Pictures are a start, though, I think. It isn't a bad idea to ensure you have them now, to be able to hold onto them after.
no subject
[ not entirely convinced, but lucretia is pretty responsible so maya probably doesn't need to worry about her ]
I wonder if we could print some photos or something. I just drew Kaoruko and Hiyori...

[ she can't help but smile at the pictures... they're so cute together ]
Those are some great pictures! You have a really pretty smile. And Taichi's such a dummy.
[ she says that affectionately ]
no subject
He is a dummy, yes.
[but like, fondly.]
But-- I found it helped to get our minds off things a bit too.
no subject
That's always important. We can't be doom and gloom all the time....
... I guess that sounds weird, coming from me right now.... [ since she's in a rare serious moment ]
no subject
[and maya's still young enough to manage that well enough, she thinks.]
If you'd ever like to join me to make more of them, I wouldn't mind it.
[she's going to end up with a photo collection.]
no subject
.... I'd really like that. I mean, there's no way anything's gonna happen to you.... but the memories would be nice to have, regardless.
[ maya has assigned lucretia as living until endgame apparently ]

[ she makes it sound like she's been in murdergames before ]
[ but, well ]
Why not? There's nothing we can do tonight about the main situation, so.... we could do something nice.
no subject
[they should sleep at a reasonable hour, considering what tomorrow's going to be...
she pushes herself up with a slight wince, grabbing her staff.]
Off to the student union with us.
no subject
[ maya toddles after lucretia ]
Time to make memories!
no subject
I've only used this once or twice, but... I'm sure we'll manage. Do you have any preferences, Maya?
no subject
Let's just do whatever looks the most fun!

no subject
[ if this doesn't get a good reaction out of lucretia she will also tickle her ]
no subject

no subject
[ maya giggles to herself when it's over ]
I got you!
