As far as curses go, this isn't so bad. Sure beats some of the ones that happened earlier this month, and at least it's raining pictures instead of, like, cats and dogs. [ because she wouldn't put it past the city to rain actual cats and dogs.

liz can be seen shuffling through some of the pictures she's collected. she recognizes the people in some, but not others. if anything, the worst damage these photos seem to be causing is a case of supreme embarrassment - or so she believes until she comes upon a certain photograph, and instantly finds herself regretting her "this isn't so bad" proclamation minutes before. she holds it up, eyes wide, forgetting that the device is still on. ] ...oh. This is-- [ she doesn't know what, even if that pink hair seems familiar, but staring at it feels wrong and she quickly places it at the bottom of the stack, face down. ]

[She was...unconscious when that happened and the boy carrying her is no longer in her memory thanks to a trade, but she recognizes herself there. The dress. The blood. She knows exactly when that happened and why.]

It...was a long time ago now.

(OOC: She could see the photos, right?)

[cametolife]

[ that's why the hair looked familiar. it's euphemia's hair. ohgod. all that blood and-- liz can't really judge now, can she? there was a time when she'd been covered in blood she dismissed as ketchup after going through something she hadn't even shared the specifics of with rose. ]

I'm sorry, that seems really [ horrifying. painful. ] personal. They shouldn't have shared something like that. Do you want it back?

( ooc | yes ma'am! ♥ )

[deadly_legacy]

No, they shouldn't share any like that. I'm sorry you had to see it.

That might be for the best. [She didn't. Not really, but it was better to see it destroyed than to put that on someone else.]

[cametolife]

[ liz nods, understanding, especially after seeing which photos of her rose found. ]

Where should I bring them?

private;

[iwasherefirst]

Some of 'em aren't. Others...sorta are. Found a couple you might want.

[She holds up the one with the silver hand print and the one of Liz leaving.]

'm sorry.

private;

[cametolife]

[ she's realizing that now after finding euphie's photograph-- and now seeing hers. ]

Oh my God. [ the hand print, more than her walking away from max. that hand print had caused so many problems for her - for max and the others, too - even if it had saved her life. ]

[iwasherefirst]

[Unfortunately the City is not always kind.]

I can bring 'em over if you want. I can listen, if you wanna talk or just...bring 'em over.

private;

[cametolife]

Could you?

[ maybe it's time to tell rose what that hand print was all about -- how she really met the "true" max evans. ]

[sixwinged]

That-- first one. Do you.. need help returning it?

[cametolife]

Do you know who they are? [ she holds up the photograph in question. ] I don't recognize either of them.

[ it seems like a sweet picture, one someone would probably like to have back. ]

[sixwinged]

Mm', yeah. The boy's name is Ikki, he's here. The girl isn't.

[cametolife]

Ikki. [ she's writing the name down on her hand so she doesn't forget it. ] Thanks! I'll keep an eye out for him.

[crowing]

( is that—

. . .

is that what he thinks it is. )

[crowing]

( HOLY SHIT???

THAT IS! THAT IS A PHOTO OF RINGO AND HIM—

oh holy shit. okay, he needs that. he needs that really badly. )

[crowing]

Oh—!

. . .Uh.

There's a photo of me in that. . . stack there.

[rehashing]

... I wouldn't be surprised if it did rain cats and dogs.

It's like the City doesn't want us to have privacy. Or secrets. [ Elena so far has gotten off scot free picture wise. But, she wouldn't be surprised if she had to explain herself eventually. ]

[cametolife]

Think it's too late to retract that and stop them from getting more curse ideas?

[ she just nods in response to that last part. liz has so many secrets, secrets that so many people want -- namely the FBI. she's part of a conspiracy that involves the killing of a special agent and replacing him with a shapeshifting alien. he life is an episode of the x-files. ]

[rehashing]

... I could start a letter writing campaign?

[ Don't get Elena started on secrets. ] Hopefully you avoided paper cuts? [ Semi-joke! ]

[dr_conscience]

Clearly, one of my finest moments.

[cametolife]

Did the glove win that round of tug-o-war, Doctor Wilson?

[dr_conscience]

Eventually, I overcame. It was a long and difficult struggle.

[what_the_flux]

[Of all the things the City could have dug up, really...]

Ah. Given the subject matter, I can't help but feel compelled to point out that the incident regarding me you seem to have found was taken from an alternate timeline - one that I most certainly did not experience.

[cametolife]

Oh, this is real? [ in some way, anyway. liz digs the picture back out. she'd thought it was a prank of some kind, not something serious. ]

[what_the_flux]

Not exactly. The result of an unscrupulous individual manipulating the timeline to his own personal gain.
