Exposure

[Eyes Only]

Exposure-
The quantity of light allowed to act on a photographic material; a product of the intensity (controlled by the lens opening) and the duration (controlled by the shutter speed or enlarging time) of light striking the film or paper.

Kathy yawned as she finally placed the last of her pictures up in her gallery it was a desert scene. shed been up all week getting little sleep. printing and sorting through picking out the best ones. the digital ones were easy it was the 35 millimeter ones that were hard. first she had to develop the black and white film on her own then she had to let it dry overnight then develop and print each and every picture after she picked out each photo. and she loved doing them the old fashioned way of course if she found weird stuff in them that couldn't be photo shopped out she had to kriffing put it on the growing pile of 'spirit photos'
recently shed gotten tired however of not knowing. shed searched the Internet and found various websites were other people had posted similar pictures but never anything remotely like hers.
so she finally made her own website. and a single forum attached. anonymous of course with a few pictures then more. she left out the glimmering people and the people with shadows over them. and asked for help. she said in the explanation that these images had been showing up in her photos for a while now and she was hoping someone would see and know what they meant. after a while she got lots of hits. mostly wackos and paranormal investigative amatures... no one who knew what she was going through. many accused her of photo shopping and she basically would tell them to bugger off she needed help not insensitive butt heads.

she sighed shed done a cross country road trip across the USA taking hundreds of photos and spending a hell of a lot of money on film. her online gallery for her business website was full so now she had two gallery's one anonymous one of her spirit photos and an online one to go with her actual gallery in Hawaii. which was were she was hanging pictures right now.
and now. she went to bed. shed left cards at various places in the us her business cards oping to attract business.... hopefully she would.

Exposure- disclosure, as of something private or secret

(ooc: i is being artistic yes? bwahaha!...though the bad grammar might mess it up....)

Spirit photography is a type of photography whose primary attempt is to capture images of spiritual entities.
(ooc:kathy on the other hand seems to be catching them entirly by mistake...)

OOC: Questions: Where are we and is Kathy in her home or at a studio?

[Eyes Only]

ooc: in Hawaii at her studio she lives above it actually. um...i should probably figure out which island shouldn't i? Kauai island. woot yay for bing maps! Lihue looks nice and feasible. i cant beleive i forgot to post the location though normaly im good at that...

[Max452]

OOC: Okay! great! I just wanted to know the environment.

Quietly, the agents surrounded the studio/house. With their nightvision goggles, the soldiers carefully and silently broke into the house. Commander Stone and three other soldiers entered through the front door, while three more entered the back and the side. Stone hoped that this recovery would be nice and clean and absently wondered if the new weapons they had received would be more effective than the tranquilizer guns they had been using. Apparently the tranqs worked half the time, and they needed something that would take down there targets immedatily. He glanced down at his assault rifle that had been redesigned to fire electrical darts that would shock the target into unconsciousness. He prayed that this would work, he didn't want another fiasco on his report.

The soldiers creaked upstairs...

[Eyes Only]

Kathy yawned rolling over in her bed. her cameras in their camera bag next to her bed the alarm clock nearby a large sliding glass window open to the night air with nets to keep out the bugs. some of her spirit pictures was on the nightstand.

[Max452]

Stone took the lead as he signaled one of his men to burst into the window, making sure this woman didn't have a chance to escape. "Neutralize her." He ordered as he gave the command to burst through.

"Freeze!" Stone yelled and fired his electrical gun. He only hoped the boys in tech knew what they were doing, since this was a prototype weapon, and he had no idea what the results would be.

[Eyes Only]

(ooc: oh come ooon....can i like? not make it affect her like its saposed to? since its like a prototype? but still disable her? cause its no fun if she knocked out right now cause she was sleeping...or dies...)
Kathy barely knew what hit her one minute she was sleeping next minute she was jolted literally awake and seizing in pain. her hand hooked around the strap on her camera bag. she fell off her bed pictures scattered everywhere and on her. her camera bag landed on top of her head.
"Owwww... you bloody @#%!s do that for?! whats happening??!" actually it sounded more like moaning and a muffled "da kwaf bofy fwk bo dab foo?! Wab habgig" not to mention she couldn't seem to move... huh... she twitched.

edit: Gwammar!

[Max452]

OOC: I implied that it was a prototype, so basically anything can happen. I'll let you write your own death scene. lol

Stone smirked. "Target acquired...bag her..." Stone turned, only to find two more whizzing darts going at Kathy. "Cease fire! What the hell was that?!" Stone yelled at his subordinates.

"Sorry...trigger happy..." One of the smirked, wanting to get this freak in a body bag.
Stone punched the guy. "One more stunt like that and I'll show you trigger happy..."
He glanced over to see if the girl was hit or even breathing for that matter. A high dosage of this stuff didn't sound too good.

[Eyes Only]

"meep." the darts were an inch from her face. "nob bubby...." frigging crazy nutcase. she twitched her hand was still gripped tight round her camera bag strap.

[Max452]

Stone glanced at the woman. At least it seemed one of the darts hit. "Bag her." He ordered and two of his men went over to tie her hands together.

[Eyes Only]

"whab bib ogib ob?" kathy squeaked her hands still stuck round her camera bag. she felt funny and these men were kriffing kidnapping her! she attempted to struggle but only succeded in twitching more. she cried out in frustration. damnit. she was in pjs with strangemen shoting zappy things at her in the middle of the freaking night and kidnapping her and now she couldent move. and one had said he was trigger happy... she was doomed.

[Max452]

Stone walked over once the woman was tied up. Prying the camera away from her, he looked at it with little interest and tossed it back onto the bed. "Let's go." He told his men and they picked her up. "Don't drop her, or I'll personally shoot you." He threatened as he opened his comm link. "This is Commander Stone. We've got the package. It'll be delivered shortly." He spoke in code as they quietly marched out of the house.
"Put her in the back." Stone gestured a glove thumb to the van.
"Yes sir." The marched over and tossed her inside.

OOC: i dunno how you want to kill her...so I guess whenever you feel like it...

[Eyes Only]

ooc:carwreck works

"owwwwww" she whimpered when she got tossed into the back.

[Max452]

OOC: lets make it interesting...

Packed up, Stone's group began driving down the curvy roads in the middle of the night, when a Tsunami warning began blaring.
"What is that?" Stone glared outside.
One of his men glanced outside. "I think its a weather warning, sir."
"From what?"
"A volcano maybe? Tsunami?" The soldier shrugged.
"Oh great..." As if on cue, a large thunderclap was heard and it immediately started to pour, causing the road to be slippery. The hummer jerked slightly from the pounding rain.
"Sh--." the car swerved a bit more as Stone glanced to his side, seeing the wind picking up and a massive collection of water forming near the beach.

OOC: do you want to write your death scene now?

[Eyes Only]

ooc: oh yess....

Kathy panicked tsunami?! nononono
the wind started to pick up pushing at the car making it harder to steer on thw winding road kathy struggled vilontly wanting them to freaking get to higher ground the bloody idiots!
and there wasnt even an active volcano on this island...

the water started to recede from the shores. a really really bad sign... she managed to get rid of her gag.
"Get to higher ground you bloddy morons or we'll all die cant you see the water receding?! the frickin Tsunami is coming! hell theres even evac roads!"

suddenly lighning hit somplace nearby (unusual if you ask me...) the car spun out of control and went down the embankment crashing into the trees kathy was thrown forward.

then the tsunami hit.... it threw the little car around like a toy throwing it against some rocks. kathy was dragged by the current out a broken window... she struggled but she was a bit tied up. she couldest breath her vision started turning funny colors then blackness started encroaching upon her...then nothing. it seemed almost quiet really the roaring had diminished slowly... then a flash of light... like a camera...

(ooc:except in this case its just kathy)

[Max452]

"Sir, we've lost one of our units."
"Retrieve the bodies and send them to central, especially the freak's."
"what for?"
"What the hell do I know for? Its just our orders."
"Yes, sir."

OOC: You know, I don't even know if Tsunami's hit Hawaii...I know they have volcano warnings...but oh well! lol It works. Here lies Kathy...poor Kathy...

[Eyes Only]

ooc: oh they hit hawaii volcanos can cause tsunamis... or earthquakes on the seafloor thus sending a tsunami towards hawaii.
