[Cal Winters]

The rapid click of the shutter was quiet, coming from the older camera. It was black, and a little bit beaten up. But it had been used well for many years now, and had taken hundreds of pictures. Cal was a shutterbug, and he loved taking pictures of everything around him. It was his favorite activity, something which in the last three years he had learned to do quite well. Right now he was walking through town, trying to find something in the cold day worth taking a picture of. There were interesting things everywhere, from the people to the buildings, and his finger was snapping like crazy. Of course, the mans ever present fear of meta humans was making him a bit twitchy, but not enough to be too noticeable. Even after living in Pilot Ridge for a year or so he was still jumpy. So much for trying to be rid of that particular fear.

Cal snapped a few flowers covered in early morning frost, wondering how they had survived this long. It was pretty cold out, and, well, flowers and cold didn't usually do that well together. He moved on, taking pictures of a bench and the pattern of bark on a tree. He had ideas for some new things he could do with some of these pictures. For a moment he looked behind him to see the view, walking backward, when he stumbled into someone.

" Oh, jeeze, I'm sorry. Wasn't watching where I was going there!" He said to them.

[Sevanna Greenwood]

"Oh would you two stop! You're terrible!"

Hammy hissed at Cheese and Cheese swatted a boot-covered paw back at him. Sevanna's two identical twin cats were fighting, again. She picked both of them up, one in each arm, and gave them a stare down. "Now if you two don't stop misbehaving, how am I supposed to take you out in public for a walk?" Yes, she walked her cats. (and talked to them) It wasn't very common to find, but there were other people who did the same. Sevanna wasn't really a dog person, but she saw no reason she couldn't let her kitties get some exercise. They both were energetic enough for it.

They both twitched their tails. "We just came outside not five minutes ago, and I don't want to go inside yet." They were long haired-white cats. She didn't know what breed they were, just that they were the only two males that had survived the litter.

Hammy wore on his feet tiny blue booties to keep his paws from getting frost-bit while Cheese wore red. Sevanna hand-made them a few days ago, to see how well they would work on cold days. Neither of the two cats seemed to mind, but she didn't know how long that would last.

She set them both back on the sidewalk. Hammy looked at her innocently as if to say 'I am good but Cheese provokes me!' Then he started leading the way for their walk.

Sevanna was focused on her cats breaking out into another fight when someone stumbled into her from behind. Normally she was so aware of her surroundings. "Oh it's alright, uh, I was splitting up a cat fight. I didn't realize there was someone behind me." She rambled to the man.

"Taking photos?" She asked out of nowhere, glancing at his camera. It appeared old and worn out.

Cal smiled pleasantly, looking at the two cats. They looked exactly the same, other than what they wore on their feet. Shoes for cats? Interesting concept. The man wasn't the most fond of cats, but then again he wasn't really fond of any kind of furry creature that could be considered pets. He was a fish kind of person, which was why he had many of them at home. They were calm, rather predictable, and wouldn't try to run away or fight, or sass back the way animals seemed to do. Cal looked at the two cats, wondering why she was taking them for a walk anyway. At least, that's what it seemed like she had been trying to do, although the creatures looked more like they wanted to have nothing to do with it.

" Uh, ya." He said quickly, looking at the camera in his hand and then back up at her with a smile. The worn thing probably looked...well, pretty old and worn. While the two felines were squabbling he snapped a shot of them, just for funsies. Why not? They were there, they were ind of funny, and the picture might even turn out all right.

" I'm often out and around town here taking pictures." He said, hands making a sweeping motion to kind of point to the 'around town' he was talking about. He didn't recognize her, so her figured she was someone he just hadn't met yet, or maybe she was new. He had only bee living there for about a year himself so he didn't really worry too much. Well, he worried about everything but that was a bit of a different kind of worry.
