You didn't know about the pictures? I'm about to make your day. You see on the bottom of the screen there's a couple of little icons? Tap the one that looks like a camera. [ He can't believe he gets to be the one that lets Steve know what a selfie is. This is exciting. ] Right! I think he'd appreciate it.
Gotta get it all nasal and kinda horny, that part's important. Poor performance indeeeeeeeed.
( they're both gonna be doing Wesker impressions now, aren't they... as if they weren't already gonna die for stealing the sunglasses, now they're super extra gonna die for hurting Wesker's poor pissbaby super serious science guy feelings. )
Holy shit. This is fucking amazing. ( fog technology is so confusing, but Steve is gonna take this one as a w. he's from 1985, cameras exist, hell even polaroids do!! but digital, instant photography? nope. unfortunately for Quentin, this means Steve just sends him a picture of his sneakers, because that's all he's got to take a picture of right now. hope the guy likes Nikes. ) Appreciate it is a strong word, but hey. Desperate lengths or whatever.
Yeah, yeah. How do I convey that in text? [ There's a short delay here and then: ]
yOu 😤 ThInK 😠 yOu 🔪 CaN 😩 dEfEaT 🕶️ mE???
[ They're going to get thrown across the map like bowling balls and then impaled with worms. There's no way that man isn't going to skin them alive. ]
I knew you'd get a kick out of that. [ Quentin, in support of Steve's first digital photo, sends a picture of his sneakers right back. Look, he's got Nike's too. Different shoe but same brand. ] Hey, so tap the circle of arrows from there and it'll turn the screen around on yourself. You can use it like a mirror, take a picture of yourself, etc. Cool, right?
Fuck. God that guy sucks. ( thanks for the laugh though, Quentin, that was nice. worth dying over? yes probably, because Steve is an idiot, and again, Wesker suxxxxxxxxx
Steve has been running around the wastes long enough that cool shit other people are used to that he has never conceived doesn't come up that often anymore. the camera is a rare and exciting exception. he's honestly not even a picture guy, not really, it's just... it's cool! okay? why hasn't he tapped on more of these little buttons, what else is on this thing???
he's grinning like an idiot, and definitely showed whoever was nearby the picture of Quentin's shoes, even though Jake doesn't care at all. it's just that he was there and Steve is so marveled by the technology he's gotta show somebody. speaking of marveling at the technology, when Steve follows the instructions and fumbles through his first selfie, Jake is there visibly blurry as he tries to dig deep for the patience required to deal with this dumbass from Indiana. Steve, for his part, is pointing at Jake like a huge dope, as if he's some celebrity and not a guy Quentin has seen dozens or hundreds or maybe even thousands of times. the image is a little bit out of focus.
Quentin Smith officially made Steve's year period of time between gross cake with this one. damn, why did nobody tell him the magic fog phone had a camera? they just ain't real ones tbh )
He's the worst! [ Quentin's not entirely sure it's worth dying over at all but he's usually more than willing to openly mock one of these killers to another survivor if they get him going like it was his calling in life.
Now, when he got here there were only ten people and Laurie had her fill of learning long before he got there. He had assumed, perhaps incorrectly, that Min has been beating him to the punch to everyone that came in after him when it comes to technology, for the most part. Mins even showed Quentin things he had no idea about. Her Nintendo can do 3D and she never puts it on!
That he got to spread this little modicum of knowledge and it's clearly bringing a lot of joy is really heart-warming. Steve's just so unapologetically pleased about it. Why Jake doesn't seem to be amused is beyond him. ]
Wow! Is that the real Jake Park?
[ Because it's so amusing to him and just an unbridled source of levity - he's once again sending one back. Claudette is, unlike Jake, completely willing to smile for a picture with him though, if a little shyly and likely extremely relieved the noise coming out of the tired kid that went very quiet was actually laughter and not anything concerning. He does the pointing at her and everything, she's leaned in and doing it back. Steve is endearing. ]
( Jake is one of the not real ones tbh that's the issue. Claudette, Claudette is clearly a real one. that picture is adorable. pictures are in general much better when both parties want to participate. unlike poor Jake who wasn't prepared to deal with a fanboy when he's just vibing by the campfire. )
This is so fucking rad. We should go take pictures of stuff, dude.
( it will occur to Steve later that Quentin has no need to go take pictures of things, because he's known the phone had a camera app this whole damn time. he's just excited, okay! he's a kid from the 80s and it's always nice when he remembers that long enough to act like one. )
[ Jake's a hermit from the woods. Not all that surprising. Pictures are loads better when both parties want to participate. Claudette's willing to put her plants down to deal with the borderline walking dead doing something lively. ]
Sure, okay. Like what? I'll match whatever you do.
[ He does not have a need at all. The camera roll on his phone, outside of any pictures taken from before he got here which he rarely looks at, is utterly empty. Quentin stopped liking having his picture taken for various reasons and hasn't had the need to take one of anything or anyone else until a minute ago. He'll make an exception here. Steve's contagious. He used to take pictures all the time. It's really nice to just do it again. ]
( what should they take pictures of? a crow. a fire barrel. Steve takes at least three more unwitting thumbs up selfies with survivors that made the mistake of letting him get that close. doesn't matter, anything that seems relatively well lit and even a few things that aren't. it's like a completely pointless scavenger hunt of anything he can fit on the tiny screen.
because fuck it. it's fun. not a lot of that to be had in a murder dimension where his negative emotions are an aperitif for a spider god. and if Quentin will humor him, Steve is going to run with the stupid game until it gets old or somebody passes out.
...until he passes out. everyone knows Quentin doesn't sleep. )
