smk_network[the feed shows a sunny spot in an alley, just outside the Gibson Girl. Lydia has borrowed one of their tables and set it with an assortment of snacks, fruit, a pile of napkins, a stack of glasses, and a pitcher of their amazing lemonade... but the clear focus of the shot is propped against the alley wall: a giant book that anyone from the Temple party of the Jungle mission will recognize as a retired but unusual tent. She's wearing black jeans with splatters of maroon spray paint, courtesy of her roommate's creativity, and a matching brocade top, with a large, full envelope in her hands. The envelope is 8x10, yellow slashed with red diagonal lines.]
Hi, everybody. I've met most of you, I think, but my name is Lydia Deetz, and I work at the camera shop when I'm not training. I take pictures when I'm out exploring, and when we have parties, and meetings ... pretty much all the time. My friend Fenton made this giant book with his magic as a mistake, but... I want to turn it into a big photo album for all of us, as a record of everything that happens. I have a lot of pictures already, from the first two months I've been here... And some of them are from the other night, so you're all here.
[she pats the envelope]
One of my favorite myths about photography is some people think it steals your soul. Not really, but... It helps keep a memory. And memories are part of our soul, so ... Maybe what it really does is make our souls stronger. If we're going to be doing a lot of fighting and exploring and repairing... We're going to need to be strong. So. Maybe this will help. I'm in the alley by the Gibson Girl, if you want to come and help... Or even if you want to just look at the pictures. Once all the pictures are in, I'll keep it in the lobby of the apartments until I get more.
[an awkward pause as she realizes she has no clue how to end this]
Um. Hope to see some of you?

"Can I touch you? You look so soft. Here, look:"
She flipped through her stack of photos until she found the series of a hatchimng cocoon.
"You have birthday pictures."

More warbles left her as the human goes to show her pictures from her hatching. Did she really looked like that? This was the first actual look of pictures that the Queen ever saw and.. Not bad. The pride in the girl was obvious.
She goes to glow again, hoping to keep a smile on the teen's face, letting her know of the pride she felt. Even though they were of different spieces and she was still a "baby", she felt motherly towards Lydia.

"I want to write that it's your birthday, and put the date, but ... I don't know what to call you." She glanced over her shoulder, then realized that with her royal affinity to bugs ... she might be able to find out. She'd talked to the spiders in the jungle, after all. She touched a hand to her choker and looked at Mothra, concentrating her thoughts as best she could.
Can you hear me?

Her kind never really needed such things. Though she can sense the change in thoughts and mood within the human before her. Though when she hears the voice in her thoughts she tilts her head and warbles.
Yes, I do. How did you do that?
