JUNE CATCH-ALL (OTA)

[phoenixstrut]

FAMA LOBBY

While she doesn’t visit the office very often, she’s always ready to take advantage of the large airy lobby on days when she is around to meet up with her agent. This morning in particular, she’s poised, leaning forward on her elbows against end of a long white counter, ceramic latte tumbler in hand and script bright on the screen of her tablet as she swipes through the pages.

Each time the door opens, there’s a fair chance she’ll take a glance over her shoulder. Should it not be her agent, she simply gives a welcoming smile and turns back to her business, if they choose to go about their day. Should they choose to approach, however, they’ll have her full attention. After all, she’d really like to meet more of the talent represented around here…

FAYREN BEACH
Feet bare up and lightweight cardigan billowing gently about her, Dove makes her way slowly up the beach as the sun sets, eyes focused on the waves as they roll toward the shore. Her week has been busy in all the best ways, but she can’t deny the draw of a peaceful oceanside evening and a chance to clear her mind. It’s been raining, she’s been told, but the break in the weather seems perfectly timed, and the breeze tossing her hair reminds her that maybe it’s alright to slow down… even if it means being alone a little while to do so.

She really should do this more often, even if she does look a little too solemn from far off. That Light in her eyes is different, somehow, as she studies the ocean and the pull of the tide against the line of the sky in the distance. She doesn’t dare step any further into the waves- not while she’s alone, at least, and certainly not in such a state of mind…

HANGAR QUEEN

…She’s got to remember they like to play that song here.
Dove can be found sitting contently at the bar, bobbing her head and absently humming ‘Danger Zone’ as she lazily scans the crowd and stirs what’s left of her drink. She seems to be fairly mellow, but it might look like there’s a hint of mischief in her eye if one looks close enough.

AROUND TOWN
Dove never does get tired of seeing the final release of her work out in the wild. While she’s modeled for years now, she’s always curious to see what’s been done with her images or, in this case, footage.

Depending on the city, she might be found watching… well herself in the form of advertisements for various campaigns. While her Nova City appearances are sexy and playful (if, in her own mind, a bit odd), those seen in Attleton and Genessia are much warmer and relaxed.

Regardless of the promotion, she’s likely to be caught shaking her head or nodding in approval, should anyone catch her critiquing the editors choices… and her own performance and looks.

Comments

Hangar Queen;

[orlokbutterfly]

[Gale hadn't had much of a chance to be in his two clubs outside of Nova for a little while, no thanks to giving himself more work there. Stupid elections.

So there he was, having made time tonight to spend the night at Hangar Queen (so long as on emergencies come through anyway) decked out in his uniform with Mareep in tow. He hopped up the step to get behind the bar, tossing his hat somewhere beneath (why did he make the hat part of the uniform again?) while singing along to Danger Zone himself. Soon his eyes fall on Dove and he leans on the bar top nearby.]

Well hey there, I haven't had the pleasure of seein' you around here before. I'd remember a pretty face.

[phoenixstrut]

[Dove absently watches him arrive, a grin on her face at the Pokémon tottering after him. Well isn't that fun? She's been in a time or two (or...three...), but she's sure she hasn't met this employee.

She greets him with a bright grin at the compliment.] Hello Yourself, [she returns, setting aside her drink and crossing her arms to lean onto the bar before her.] I've been in a time or two. ...Love the Afterburner. [Shes got a thing for fire, okay-]

[orlokbutterfly]

Well damn, I almost never miss new folks 'round these parts. I'm slippin'. [Not really. It's just a side effect of everything else he's been up to. He laughs a bit.]

Glad to hear that. Afterburner's among my personal favorites out of all my concoctions. [Setting it on fire was hilarious at the time. Who knew it'd be a successful sell too.]

Name's Gale, I'm the owner of this little joint. Might I be so bold to ask your name?

WOW sorry! old old old tags

[phoenixstrut]

[She laughs.] Fire was sort of my thing for a long time, [she tells him, tilting her head to the side.

Her eyes widen a little though when he explain just exactly who he is before she breaks into that easy smile again.] Nice to you meet you, Gale. I'm Dove.

Fayren Beach

[mira_strauss]

Dove wasn't the only one who liked to take a relaxing walk on the beach at sunset, and Mirajane was simply strolling along contemplating. Would she be here forever? Was her family back home okay while she was gone? Did time flow the same way here as it did there? Should she do more for the guild here? Did she work too much? Should she go out and try to meet new people a bit more frequently than just waiting around the bar for the few customers she got?

She was so lost in thought as she walked along that she almost stumbled right into Dove as she walked, and had to catch herself at the last moment to avoid colliding into the poor girl. "Ah! Sorry, I wasn't paying attention to where I was going!"

[phoenixstrut]

Dove blinks out of the strange trace she's in and turns to the other girl at the apology, taking a moment to reground herself before she greets her with a soft smile. "It's okay! I'm kind of out of it myself," she laughs, pushing her hair back from her face. "It's kind of hard not to be out here, right?"

The reddening hues of the sinking sun reflecting on the water? Distracting is probably the mildest term for it... it's a beautiful night.

Sorry I'm slow as molasses

[mira_strauss]

Mirajane smiled right back with a nod, wiggling her feet in the sand as she stood there with the other woman. "I always feel sort of nostalgic seeing the beach at sunset. No two sunsets are ever completely identical, and each day is a moment gone by that will never be seen again."


That didn't mean to sound as melancholy as the way she said it, but what's done is done. "Maybe I'm simply waxing poetic, but I think it's important to stop and appreciate the little things now and then."

GAH I'm so sorry!!! This got buried! If you wanna do a new one, let me know! I need some MIrajane

[phoenixstrut]

Dove smiled and shook her head. "No, no, I get what you mean. You're absolutely right. Seems like the days are too short, sometimes, but you can never turn down a sunset..."

She pauses a moment to listen to the waves, then passes the girl a bright smile. "I'm Dove, by the way."

Around Town - Attleton

[youfool]

[Ted likes to wander too, and stops when he sees a familiar face in one of the video advertisements in public. There's no cable where he lives, ya see, so commercials are still interesting to him.

This one especially.]

Hahaha! So this is what angels get up to when they're off God's clock, eh? Advertising soft drinks? Looks like you were off by a mile, Leonardo! Hehehe!

[Dove may be standing not too far off to hear this riotous laughter. Sorry, his peripheral vision isn't the best.]

TED, she stood around and looked so pretty for that! #hardwork

[phoenixstrut]

Michalangelo wasn't much closer, [she quips, grinning over at him. She's not offended, though her cheeks do go a little pink.] If you like this, though, you should see my stand-up routine.

#angelproblems

[youfool]

[Well speak of the devil angel.]

Oh! Haha, hello Dove. Suppose I was too being seeing you there to spot you here. It's a lovely commercial of course.

You're an intentional comic too? Do tell.

[He may appreciate jokes, but he's not always the brightest on picking them up.]

[phoenixstrut]

[She shakes her head and heads over closer to him to keep the conversation a little less public.] I'm the embodiment of Light, not the bringer of Death. I'd bore everyone straight into a grave if I tried true comedy.

[She makes a quick assessment of him, smile in place. Seems like he's... as okay as a Ted can be for now, right?]

Fayren

[om_nom_namur]

[Hate to break the beautifully pensive, almost forlorn mood. But it's nearly sunset, so it's time for Namur to get his ass out to Everglade for work after hunting down a good meal. A deep wave breaks against the shoreline, and suddenly someone is there, where before the beach had been deserted. He stands out against the waves now, his skin steel-blue against the sun-painted reds and oranges reflecting off the water that crashes towards the beach around him. He stretches as he wades to shore, limbering up for the long night ahead.

When he gets a little closer he grins and lifts his chin in greeting.]

Kinda lonely out right now, ain't it? Waitin' for someone?

Re: Fayren

[phoenixstrut]

[At first, she simply turns her head, only half taken from her odd daze to inspect what it is that's suddenly washed ashore with partial interest-

Until she realizes it's a shark man and he's talking to her. That... pretty much does the trick.]

Ah... not exactly, [she confesses, glancing back to the waves for a split second before refocusing on him.] I... ah... Was just taking advantage of the rain breaking up, finally.

[She's obviously surprised, but she knows better by now than to comment on any peculiarities. Though her wings aren't showing for the moment, she's become aware enough to realize Genessia has pulled more than its fair share of different races and... species. She's not even sure-]

[om_nom_namur]

[Namur turns his head back to the ocean, sniffing curiously. But there's nothing to smell, at least nothing out of the ordinary. So he turns back to her with a shrug.]

Got a few minutes t' bum 'round. Wanna get a drink? My treat.

[phoenixstrut]

[She considers it only a moment before nods, fixing him with that angel's smile.] I'd love to. Should probably get away from the ocean before it sucks me in, anyway. [Not literally of course, but there was definitely something in the way the sun was sinking that had her pretty fixated.]

[Maybe the ocean's been pushing memories of home, but this isn't home, and they can't enforce responsibility on her here. She's not about to turn down any opportunity she's offered within reason!]

Fayren Beach

[despisesthegods]

[ Styxx had managed to make it to the beach for his own quiet time away from everyone else and had been there for quite awhile building, not just a sand castle, but a sand city, with armies and all. A miniaturized version of Didymos where he'd once lived so long ago. He'd gotten scarily good at such things over the 11,000 years he'd been alive, and didn't much care that his clothes were covered in sand as he stood up and began to brush the sand off himself, looking at the impressive finished product. He'd noticed there was someone else who'd joined him on the beach in the distance, but he hadn't dared look closely, only mildly paying attention in case that person started to approach him, and he certainly hadn't taken full notice of who was sharing the beach with him or he.....well....may have quietly cleared out or said hello. He wasn't sure yet considering he had sort of stood her up for that prom thing. Then again, he'd never particularly promised her he'd go either. ]

[phoenixstrut]

[As enraptured as she is in the force of the waves crashing at her feet, she's made it almost entirely upon his masterpiece before she even realizes there's a need to look away from the horizon. When she finally does feel the familiar presence, she turns, eyes a much more robust gold and her gaze somewhat too heavy for her normal personality, almost as though she's drunk of off the power of the sea itself.

She studies the sand city a moment or two as she approaches, then casts a look toward the artist himself as she stops. It takes a few more seconds, but she does cross her arms over her chest and shakes her head fondly, dropping that gaze back to the little buildings.... perhaps to avoid his.]

So... you really have been busy...

[despisesthegods]

[At least he doesn't leave when she finally does approach him, though he doesn't quite do any more then glance at her. When he speaks though, at least his tone is respectful if not observant.]

Only as busy as I've made myself. I haven't made one of these in a few years at least.

[Not since the Vanishing Isle, and yes, he's already noticed she'd not particularly happy with him at the moment. Which is why he's going to try to watch what he says. The last thing he needs is another woman trying to kill him.]

Genessia

[cadbane]

This blue alien bounty hunter was watching a news broadcast through a shop window when the advertisement comes on. He crosses his arms, narrows his bright red eyes at it and looks grim as he waits for the news to resume.

As usual, he's dressed like someone who just stepped off the set of an old Wild West picture, in brown duster coat and wide-brimmed hat. Twin holsters that hold twin blasters at his hips and he gives off the vibe of somebody who doesn't take any nonsense.

[phoenixstrut]

It's not that she sees the reaction so much as she feels it. While she doesn't want to be rude, she does steal a quick glance over at the stranger to make a better assessment, only taken aback for a moment or two at his appearance.

Interesting. Those blasters at his hips, oddly enough, look mildly familiar, but there's no way she'd ever be able to place why.

She does offer a smile, in the end, and a half nod to the screen. "They really have started overplaying that one..."

[cadbane]

He briefly glances to her at the voice, makes a non-committal grunt then looking from the advertisement back to her again as recognition kicks in.

"So you're responsible for this interuption," he remarks wryly. His voice is gravelly and weathered.

Fayren Beach

[borntolove]

Why is he going to the beach? Why is he going to the place that's like the place he told Rose good-bye. Once. Hands in his suitcoat pants pocket is walking on the beach in his usual attire and stops and see that sunset and it's absolutely beautiful.

Ten also notices someone sort of out in the water and walks over; and as he approaches her softly remarks;

"Is everything alright?"

[phoenixstrut]

She blinks out of her odd trance at the feeling of the waves breaking against a shift in the sand on the shore and looks over, still looking a little dazed, but with a pleasant enough smile on her face.

"Ah... yes... Just getting a bit lost in the waves," she responds gently with an almost dazzling smile. "It's really...something, right?"

She's never felt this much power from any one location before. It's a little overwhelming, if one can feel it.

[borntolove]

"Yes, it is." Ten remarks softly, even if he does think this is beautiful - two 'goodbyes' on the beach will hurt you inwardly.

"Lava falls is just as beautiful too. Sapphire waterful."

There's something about his eyes; despite looking young - those are unmistakeably ancient.

"What about you? What in nature have you seen beauty?"
