Does anybody have advice on how to take a convincing picture at the ball? I need to take one with my partner.

[Sorry, Tatsumaki, but at least he wants to help convince your family that it's a real date?]

As opposed to a fake picture...?

[ Context, Shouto... Even a shitty blurry phone picture is convincingly real ]

[byhalves]

It has to look like we're really on a date.

[He needs acting lessons but for a picture. Help Him.]

[compendiem]

I guess... if you're both smiling in the picture, holding hands, that sort of thing?

[ Can you smile? first hurdle ]

first step is to actually go
thatll help your chances

I know that. I'm going to be there and so is she.

[yokeye]

A FAKE SMILE AND POSSESSIVE ARM AROUND HER!
IT'S NOT HARD!

[byhalves]

That just sounds like it will give them the wrong message.

[suddenlybees]

Just take one mid-kiss?
There's no arguing that~

[byhalves]

I don't think she'd like that.

[He might not have thought out this post very well.]

[tsunderetornado]

Who sends their family pictures of themselves kissing someone?!

[Eeeeeeee! She's so excited for her best friend!]

It's with Tatsumaki-chan, right? She doesn't smile much for photos, so you don't have to worry too much about looking real. Holding hands would probably look authentic. Or you could both strike the exact same pose. Couples usually do goofy things like that, it's cute!

I hope you guys have fun!

[Finally, someone who says he DOESN'T have to smile.]

Her family won't mind?

But thank you. I'll keep all of that in mind.

what the fuck does that even mean

I agreed to go to the dance with Tatsumaki and take a picture with her that would convince her family that she had gone on a date like a normal teenager would.

You need to find a guy named Prompto. He's a photographer.

[byhalves]

Does he speak English? Or Japanese?

I did a thumbs-up and a nervous smile in my prom photos.

I didn't have a date but my aunt said I looked very handsome.

I guess try that?

[byhalves]

Why a thumbs up?

Did you need some help? We could probably take some candid shots of you two dancing.

[byhalves]

I'm just doing this for Tatsumaki's benefit.
But candid shots are probably a good idea.

I think the better question is: Who are you trying to convince?

[tsunderetornado]

Some relatives of mine who don't know I have powers.

[byhalves]

Tatsumaki's family.

[This is actually...really nice? She doesn't know how to deal with that, but it's thoughtful of him to want to make the photo convincing. She was just going to take a couple of selfies and leave it at that.]

I don't think we need to smile. I don't smile that much anyway.

[byhalves]

[He's not going to do things by halves, okay? Besides, he doesn't know anything about selfies.]

I thought that would be the case.
