You're right, you did...
Maybe I turned invisible between now and then???? OMG. What do I do???

You think it might be? Maybe you could check it out? And see if you can see me!!
I'm running home right now!!!!!

[callmenines]

I'll be here.

we going (airplane emoji) action

[panthered]

[ He always is… and he's probably watching the Food Network, too.

She barges in, angry kicking off her cute boots at the door… extremely visible. ]

I'm home.

[callmenines]

<sub>[What else does he have to do with his time anymore?

The sound of the door being pushed in, along with the sound of boots being flung off feet. There's distressed beeping coming from Pascal and...yeah. Ann's back. And he can see her.]</sub>

Welcome back...?

[panthered]

Oh! Sorry, Pascal, I didn't mean— hey, Nines.

[ She closes the door and crouches down to pat the top of Pascal's flat head. Her arms wrap around her knees and her purse slides off of her shoulder to thunk onto the ground. She's pouting and petting and looking entirely too dejected about this whole thing. ]

Can you see me?

[callmenines]

No, I'm clearly talking to a ghost.

_{[Okay wait maybe he shouldn't make jokes at her expense when she's clearly pretty upset. Up he gets to move over to where she is to reach out and pat her on the head instead since...that's clearly a good way of showing her that he can see her, right?]}

Of course I can see you.

[panthered]

Don't joke. [ She scoffed, thwapping his shin feebly with the backs of her fingers. But it is obvious he can see her, which should be a relief, but leaves her feeling more confused than she was before. ]

So then it definitely is my camera? But… how can a camera record everything else around, but just not me?

[ It's almost like there's some Duplicity shit afoot here, Ann.

She scrubs at her eyes with her hand before standing up and… wrapping her arms around him.

It's hug time now. ]

[callmenines]

_{[Ah, hug time. He loves hug time, even if it's because she's upset. Hugs are always good and nice. He returns the embrace gently, careful as he always is not to squeeze too tight.]}

I'll take a look at it, okay? It could be this place doing weird stuff to people again.

[panthered]

[ Hug time is pretty aces. She lets out a big puff of air right beside his ear— she was leaning over onto him, chin resting on his shoulder. As always, he's careful not to hurt her, and she's seriously grateful for it.

Nines really is a great best friend.

—and not just because he's smarter than her, because he definitely is. She gasps and pulls back a little. ]

Wait… that thing… that said it would take away something important to us. You don't think..?

[callmenines]

_{[Best friend status...he'd be honoured. No, really. He's never been anyone's best friend. (How sad is that?)]}

Well...it's possible? This place does pull some pretty weird stuff on us now and again.

[panthered]

[ best fwiends fowevew ]

What if… we try your camera? If it's just mine, it could be malfunctioning or something, but if it's more than one camera, then… that's like, a pattern. Right?

[ Isn't she so scientific, look at her. ]

[callmenines]

Oh yeah, we can try that. Good idea Ann.

_{[You're so smart Ann. Not as smart as you are hot but, y'know. Can't have it all.]}

[panthered]

I know right? [ She smiles and gives him a V-pose— but her heart isn't 100% in it. What if they take the picture and she really isn't there? She might not be invisible, but as a print model… isn't her career basically over if she can't show up on camera. ]

I'm ready when you are! Make me look good, okay?

[ If she even. Appears. ]

[callmenines]

I'll do my best.

<sub>[And really, he will. Out comes his phone to snap a photo of her only for it to...well...

Well she doesn't appear. It's like she isn't there at all.]</sub>

Uh...

[panthered]

[ Her face falls immediately. ]

Don't tell me.

[ She drops the pose and rounds to his side, peeking over his shoulder at the phone…

And at the empty doorway where she should've been. ]

It's just like with mine…

[callmenines]

That's...really weird.

_{[Beyond weird even. It's wacky. Wild.]}

Maybe it'll get fixed eventually? I wouldn't worry about it too much though. You're not actually invisible. That's a good thing, right?

[panthered]

Yeah… [ Somebody doesn't seem too convinced! She slinks off to go collapse messily on the couch, arms and legs askew and chin tucked against her chest.

Being not completely invisible was definitely a help in her day to day life, but… modeling was definitely at a standstill, for now. Maybe it would wear off eventually, but, when would that be? ]

This sucks.

[callmenines]

I'm sorry...

_{[And really, he is. Clearly this is something that's bothering Ann and there's not much he can do about it either.]}

I'm sure it'll change! Most things do here.

[panthered]

I hope so… [ She turns to side on her side instead, cheek pressed up against the back of the couch. An arm reaches out to pat the spot beside her. Come sit, Nines. ]

You know… it took me a long time to take modeling seriously. I just did it as a hobby for a long time, but then I started to feel… I don't know. That I didn't have any purpose? I thought about quitting and doing something else, but, I got so frustrated at how hard other models were working when I was just coasting by that I decided I was gonna work hard, too.

I guess, now I'm just… kicking myself for not doing that earlier? I wasted all that time being lazy and complacent and now I may not be able to ever make up for all of that lost time.

[ She pulls her arm back toward herself. ] But… you're right. And, I mean… even if it does last forever, it's not the end of the world, right? There's still runway… even though that was never really my strong suit. And it's fun! But, print modeling is just… funner.

[ That's not a word, Ann! ]

[callmenines]

Hmm...

<sub>[He's listening, really he is, and even when he takes a seat beside her, couch sagging under his weight just a bit, he's still paying attention. His mind is wandering though, other processes running in the background as she begins to go deeper into what modeling means to her. Does he get it himself? Not really, but that doesn't mean he can't understand the passion that she has behind it.

Which means he needs to find a solution.]</sub>

Ah! I think I know what to do! _{[Don't mind him as he claps his hands together.]} I can see you right? You're not invisible...buuut technically my eyes are just cameras. Which means I can take what I'm seeing and export it somewhere else and it theoretically should show up!

[panthered]

Your eyes… [ She hadn't even thought of that! Her head snaps up to get a look into those pretty blues of his, maybe even scooting a little closer on the couch, a knee touching his. She's stared into them like this, before, but it was for an entirely different reason. ]

If that would work, then… [ Problem solved? She places a hand on his cheek to guide his face closer to hers. ]

You're… a life saver, you know that?

[callmenines]

D-Don't go praising me yet, okay? It's just a hunch I have, but the logic's sound enough it should work.

_{[He's weak, okay, especially when she cups his face like that.]}

Should we try it?

[panthered]

Hey, you're at least trying. I can give you credit for that, can't I?

[ Prepare to be weaker because she's gonna go in for a quick kiss…

And not really give him time respond to it, because she's gonna back up a little and strike another pose. ]

Ready for my close-up!

[callmenines]

_{[Ah...a kiss. He can't help but feel warm inside thanks to it. It's always nice to see Ann happy after all and if he can do that for her...]}

R-Right.

_{[And he just...looks at her, smiling himself, before holding out a hand.]}

Okay, let me see your phone.

[panthered]

Was… that it?

[ She looks at him in disbelief as she reaches into her pocket for her phone and passes it his way.

There wasn't any shutter click or anything. She'd expected him to… blink, or something. Anything? So strange. But, if it works! ]

Here.
