[Here's a face you might have seen a lot more of lately, given that she's one of the New Big Things on the modelling scene. Even Ann herself is not sure what's changed, but she's determined to make the most of it.

And of course, with Halloween coming up there's been a lot of call for costumed shoots as different stores compete for the buying public's attention. And that's what leads Ann to posting here, sat in what appears to be some sort of dressing room area with a rail full of different costumes behind her.

She's currently clad in a black catsuit, a headband with cat ears perched on her head - apparently Lady Feline is still one of the most popular options around here. Which would also explain why she has a whip in her hands - and based on her grip, it's not the first time she's held one.]

So, here's a question. Does anyone have any skills that people automatically make assumptions about? Because I think I've already run out of ways today to explain that just because I know how to hold a whip properly, I must have some secret double life as a dominatrix or something.

[They're not even wrong about the double life part, to be fair.

She lifts her gaze, then, from looking pensively at the whip to facing the camera more directly.]

Oh and just to let people know, I'm not a matchmaker any more. But Minako-chan still has some great people working for her so go hit them up if you need help finding that special someone.

[She looks like she might have wanted to say something more, but then someone calls for her and she's reaching to switch off the feed with a Just a minute in response to that call.]

[Dove can't help but laugh. She can definitely relate.]

Girl, own it, [she shrugs, only half serious.] Especially if you know how to use that thing.

I go by the nickname Graverobber, which has had people asking me if I rob, like, pyramids and shit, which -- let's just say it is not nearly that glamorous.

Well, I've already told them this is a one-off. I don't mind if it's part of a costume but I don't want them getting any ideas about what kinds of things I'm okay with.

[And really the main reason she's okay with this costume is because it's close to her Phantom Thief attire. She just doesn't want that to shape the rest of her career.

She can't help but grin a little, though.]

Then again, they didn't exactly argue with me so I guess they figure it's best not to upset me just in case.

Huh. I mean...I guess technically pyramids could fall under that. Though I have to admit the only impression I get from the name involves you spending a lot of times in graveyards.

[Besides. Futaba's pyramid had been a tomb, which is completely different...somehow...]

Lay that groundwork early, [she agrees, grinning.] It makes turning down clients later a lot easier. That's a great sign that they didn't push you on it, though.

[Ann does have a really striking look; Dove can't imagine the agency would let her slip away too easily.]

You do look great though! [She's got a particular fondness for the type of outfit the other model's currently wearing. Brings back memories.]

If they'd tried, they'd be looking for someone else to fill the role.

[There's a certain edge of fierceness there that suggests she's had her share of people pushing her into things she didn't truly want. Safe to say she has learned from that time.]

But at least this outfit's tasteful. I've seen some of what other stores here offer and let's just say I wouldn't want to be on those jobs.

[Good girl. If Dove had had that much confidence in her fledgling years, she would have saved herself s lot of heartbreak. Ann isn't exactly new to the scene, but it's nice to see that spark in someone else. Far too often, it's the opposite, and Dove isn't one who enjoys watching women let themselves be walked on for the sake of attention and promotion.

Been there, done that, never again. ]

Amen, sister. Where are you guys shooting? What's the project? [Dear god please don't say Everglade...]

At the moment, we're in Genessia. There has been talk of shooting in other places too, though I told them I wouldn't be setting foot in Everglade without security that can handle Everglade.

[That place still kind of creeps her out - she could defend herself if she had to, but that doesn't mean she doesn't want it to be her choice to head there.]

Then again, I overheard someone saying something about Everglade taking offence to something like this so it may not be a problem after all.

Unfortunately, it doesn't seem like I can empathize with you. I don't think many people assume much about me. Though I do feel that it's rather silly to assume anything of a person just because they hold certain talents.

[ She shook her head with a small smile. ]

I find myself feeling more impressed you can handle such a weapon. I can't... even raise my fists in defense.

[She sighs.]

I've told them the same. [She scowls. Angel in Everglade won't ever work out.] I can't stand it out there. I made the mistake of meeting with a client once with just my agent with me and ran into Dracula of all beasts on the way home. Needless to say, he's no longer my agent.

[That said, her smile comes back, though it's half a smirk.] True. Can't have us prettying things up, I guess.

Really? That must be nice. For me, I can't even say I'm surprised that people are making assumptions.

[She's been dealing with it for about as long as she's been living in Japan, given that her appearance alone makes her stand out.]

Oh, but I'm sure people here could help you if that's what you wanted. I'm not sure I'd be the best person for the job but there's a lot of capable people here, seems like.

I mean, there was that guy on the network a while back talking about people not dressing up as vampires too so I guess it's a little more than that?

[Not like she can really know, being just a (mostly) ordinary human.

But wait. Hold up.]

Dracula? I guess...I'm not sure I can even really be surprised that he could be real here but that's still pretty weird to think about.

I've thought of about it, but there are some other factors to consider as well...

[ Her expression softens a little. ]

I don't know if it means much coming from a stranger, but I find your strength to be admirable and you already seem like a very pleasant person.

[excuse him while he picks his jaw up from the floor, basically. he always thought she was hot in her panther outfit, and he always stole glanced at her while they were working as phantom thieves, but now he could openly state and realize just how good Ann looked in these kinds of outfits.

and it's true, she was amazingly good with a whip, which also made him gulp for the moment.

moving on!!!]

Is this what they make all new and upcoming celebs wear? 'Cause daaamn you rockin' that! [of course she is though, she would be pretty comfortable in such an outfit.]

Heh, you gonna wear something like that for Halloween?

Actually...actually that really means a lot. Thank you.

[Her tone is genuine, a little taken aback but her sincerity is plain all the same. She still struggles to consider herself strong at times, so to hear she's making a first good impression is worth a lot to her.]

But there's no reason for us to stay strangers, right? I'm Ann. Have you been around Genessia long?

I don't think so. I think it's just that time of year.

[It's spoken with a slight giggle, which catches her off-guard a little because she's still getting used to this shift in dynamic between them. But safe to say she's pretty pleased to be getting that reaction from him, for all the costume she's wearing isn't a huge departure from her Panther attire and for all he's seen her in that countless times.

But of course, she's still going to tease him just a little.]

Well, I could. They did say if there was anything I really liked, I could take it home with me. Though there's some other really cute costumes here too so I don't know, it's gonna be tough to decide.

[the small shift is a good thing, definitely!]

W-what other costumes you got there? [he's curious as to what other stuff she could be sporting! maybe there's a maid outfit...? hehe...]

Well, a lot of it's what you'd expect for this time of year. There's a really cute witch outfit in here that I'm tempted to keep hold of, too.

[She doesn't normally tend towards the super-girly but even she can have her moments.]

Oh but if we're doing this, you need a costume too. Have you had any ideas yet?

[Now she just laughs out loud.] Augustine's video? He actually gave me his blessing for that~ [One that she very much intends to take him up on.] But yes, I...think I kind of understand where they're coming from. It's odd being in a world where our Halloweenie creatures exist.

[She scrunches her nose up and glances off, trying to suppress a shudder.] He's here and not someone I ever want to run into again. The movies don't do him justice, frankly. [No need to go into gisly details, but... there's a reason she's training with a Greek general every weekend and then some.]

I mean, that part's pretty much true, or at least I did back before I landed in this place.

[ !!! That actually gets a brighter smile out of her. She looked a little embarrassed but still eager to comply. She didn't have many friends back home, so this was exciting for her. ]

I'm Kyrie... it's a pleasure, Ann. I've been here for hmm... I want to say about three months now.

Technically yes. But I think I've annoyed people with my knowledge of hair and makeup more than anything.

[Kaoru has always made suggestions to what would work better than what was planned. He wasn't even a celebrity, he just wanted the whole thing to go as well as possible.]

I sympathize greatly. There were people that believed I was into kinbaku because I'm rather dexterous when it comes to doing a knot, among various other rumors that I've had circulate about me.

Oh? I guess maybe it's different if it's a friend doing it...though I don't think I'm ever really going to know about that.

[Considering no-one here knows about the Phantom Thieves and no-one back home had really seen what they looked like, Ann's not exactly worrying about running into a double - though the catsuit she's wearing now is pretty close.]

I guess that does fit in with what I've heard about Everglade. I mean, I'm sure it's not as bad as I've built it up to be but it's still not exactly top of my to-visit list, you know?

Probably wouldn't do much for reputation with the natives if you were doing that here, huh?

[Especially given that the pendant-holders apparently don't stay dead, she figures it'd probably be seen as mockery.]
