A camera. It'd be nice to have something to have to remember my friends if they disappear, or to just take pictures of this place.

[lingeringhope]

I believe there are cameras on your phones.

[edibles]

I couldn't print the photos out. It might sound silly to you but I like having the pictures. You can put them in books and write about the memory, or you can at home.

[lingeringhope]

So you wish for something with film instead? We might be able to make a deal.

[edibles]

Uh, thanks. What do I have to do?

[lingeringhope]

Bring hope to five different people.

[edibles]

I'll try. Thanks.

[lingeringhope]

Let me know when you have finished.

SOME DAYS LATER.

[edibles]

I think I've done it.

( She's tried okay!! )

[lingeringhope]

Excellent. Your camera will be ready soon.

[And indeed, she'll find it in her dwelling the next morning. It works like a Polaroid camera, spitting out a small, decent-quality photograph not long after the picture is taken.]

Thank you.
