fvrdrm, fvrdrm, This photograph captures a surreal and slightly creepy nighttime street scene in a run-down city. A group of five people wearing strange, cheap, homemade full-body mascot costumes of the Eevee family stand in front of an ATM machine mounted on a weathered brick building with a rusty metal roll-down door. Each costume is a little wrong: the heads are too big, the fabric is wrinkled and dirty, the plastic eyes stare in slightly different directions. From left to right: a brown and cream Eevee costume with an oversized fluffy collar and floppy ears; a red and orange Flareon costume with a huge messy yellow mane; a spiky yellow Jolteon costume with a white collar made of stiff felt spikes; a light blue Vaporeon costume with a long fish tail dragging on the ground and a frilly white collar; and, at the ATM, a black Umbreon costume with glowing yellow rings on its forehead, ears, legs and tail, its paw pressing the keypad while it looks back over its shoulder suspiciously. The ATM screen glows blue-green in the dark, contrasting with the dim yellow street lamp overhead. The street is dark and cracked, with a metal drain cover near the bottom left and a blurred dark alley behind them. The image is shot on an old 2000s camcorder: warm washed-out colors, soft low-resolution details, mild noise and compression, flat night lighting, like security camera footage. It feels like a real amateur video of a completely ridiculous and slightly unsettling moment.
