06TH AFFAIR | ACTION | MODELING!
ACTION | AfterLife | September 1st
[ooc: Feel free to run into her before, during or after the shoot. Also afterwards at work.]
[Crystal is in an odd place in her life. She’s what someone might call happy and for the first time in what feels like years she’s actively pursuing her dreams. She’s taken classes and has been trained by some of the best in New York City and it shows in everything that she does. Afterlife, which is a job she enjoys, is the first to see.
It’s a pleasure to have such an understanding boss as well as one that indulges his employee’s interest. Crystal is set up in the club just before opening. Due to the fact that it’s open all night gives her a small window of time to work in. She’s wearing a purple butterfly top and a black short pencil skirt with the purple butterfly pin marking her as an employee. Her heels are high and purple matching the hue and glimmer of her top. Her bright blonde hair isn’t curled as usual but falling in graceful waves over her shoulder.
Crystal can be found in a few compromising positions but also a few fun ones, all tasteful and meant to promote the clubs image. She uses the stage as well as the bar area for the shot and afterwards can be found off to the side of the main floor as the club opens. Modeling is a tiring task but she still plans to change and return to work in a few hours to start her shift. It isn’t difficult to run into her or grab her attention.]
ACTION | Genessia Park | September 2nd
[This job is proving to be difficult though Crystal manages to handle the situation with ease and grace. The dress she’s wearing is long a flowy with a split down the layered fabric to display her legs. Her hair is straightened, brushing an inch past her shoulder in messy layers of gold. Her thin long fingers lightly pull at the silky fabric draping around her legs and when the photographer is ready she lifts it hoping that the wind doesn’t blow at that exact moment.
She does a few other poses in the dress with her arms above her head and her leg held out. The fabric drapes in beautiful curves over her figure and with the park and city framed behind her it creates an alluring combination of nature and city. This photo shoot takes longer than most and is at times in the way of those trying to enjoy the park. Crystal smiles apologetically when the camera man waves people out of his shots and she hopes she can apologize formally when they are finished.
At the end of the shoot she can be found on a bench in the same lovely dress she’d been modeling in. There is a journal on her lap and she looks a little tired but otherwise enjoying the light breeze that drifts through the park.]
ACTION | Nova City | September 3rd | Joint with Sonico!
[ooc:: This is a Joint part of the post for Sonico & Crystal. If you tag this one please let us know who you are talking too!!! You can choose both or just one or the other.]
[Crystal and Sonico both can be found in a few places around Nova City: Nova City Islands where they are modeling bathing suits, in front of a large fountain where they are modeling underwear and then the Museum where they are both in long sweeping elegant dresses.
At Nova City Island’s Crystal is wearing a dark colored bathing suit with long wavy fabric that drapes around her legs. Sonico’s is cuter, pink with ties at her hips and shoulders. They are both smiling at times posing together and then at other moments posing separately. They work well together and while Crystal’s much taller than Sonico they look perfectly positioned when posed next to each other.
When in front of the large water fixture Crystal’s hair is curled like usual and Sonico’s has been gathered in messy loops behind her head. Sonico’s attire was green, a thin lacy vale falling around her stomach, stopping just above the waist band of her panties. Crystal’s attire is brown and gold with a shear wrap around her shoulders. Despite being half dressed they both look very comfortable and like they are having fun.
The final place they have to model that day is in the lobby of the Museum. They are both in long sweeping dresses and standing within the lobby entrance. Sonic’s dress is black while Crystal’s dress is bright red. This is the shortest photo shoot of the day and at the end of it the pair can be found taking a break. Despite how easy they might make it look holding the same position for a long time is very difficult.]

Nova City, for Sonico
So while it's a little unusual to see underwear models out in public without any real efforts to cordon off much of the area, he doesn't think much to it at first. This isn't Gaia, things are bound to be different here and this isn't something he needs to involve himself in.
Until he realises that he recognises the pink-haired girl in green and almost without thinking, his pace slows. She seems okay from what he can tell, but somehow he hadn't pictured her as the type of girl to go in for this and even while he knows he can't really say that with confidence when they've only met once, he can't quite shake off the feeling that he needs to know for sure.
He knows he can't simply linger as he is now. While he's someone that generally goes unnoticed, he's probably going to stand out if he spends too long watching a shoot he's not part of and that'll raise uncomfortable questions. Luckily, they seem to be hitting a break round about now and so he waits for Sonico to be alone before he makes his approach.]
Working hard?
[It's an innocent question on the surface but there's a lot of meaning he's cramming into those two words, a faint concern he masks under an opening gambit less likely to draw attention. He figures he'll get the answers he really wants one way or another as it is, so why risk making himself look like a troublemaker any more than his build already paints him as?]
Re: Nova City, for Sonico
Rude, however, wasn't the first person she'd expect to be part of that audience. He did stand out, however much he might be trying not to. She smiles his way as she models the underwear, though when she turns again she is aware that her cheeks are flushing - was Rude just there to watch? Did he like it?
Sonico was alone after a while, a thin robe wrapped round her to cover herself and stop her from shivering. When Rude approaches she bows her head in greeting. As for that question, Sonico can only think that he's being polite*
Oh, definitely! Today there's a lot of outfit changes, hair and make up being applied and undone, then reapplied.
no subject
He hasn't intended to distract her, either, but he doesn't know this area well enough to know where to plant himself without being noticed and once she does notice, it seems wrong to disappear only to reappear later. Besides, in watching the shoot he figures he gets an idea for the set-up and how legitimate it really is (and even back home, legitimate didn't always mean pleasant).
That she has a robe goes some way to reassuring him, too, and it certainly makes it easier to talk to her while he doesn't have to be quite so careful for where his gaze rests. This close, he can assure himself there's nothing chemical influencing her mood and she seems happy enough. That's good enough for him, for now.
Which doesn't quite stop his next question, though he tries to make it sound less like he's probing and more like a genuine comment.]
Seem to be enjoying it, though. Didn't realise this is what you did.
[It's not like he'd asked before but he figures this should settle the very last of the doubting voice at the back of his mind that's too used to the ways of Midgar below-Plate and other less pleasant parts of the Planet to not be a little paranoid.]
no subject
Oh, yes. This is what I do. Not all of what I do, but part of it. Back home it helped a lot to pay for college fees, which is how I got into it in the first place... I don't do it so much while I'm here because I don't need as much money. But sure, it's a good job and it keeps me busy.
*Then, she tilts her head at him and lifts her eyes carefully to his face. She doesn't want to sound assuming, or judgemental, or rude, but she is doing a job, providing a service almost, so feedback is always a useful thing*
Did you like it? Did I look okay?
no subject
[Yeah, he's starting to think his initial instincts weren't so far off after all. It's hard to tell if that shift in her expression is because she's ashamed to admit that she's enjoying it or because he's misreading the situation despite all evidence to the contrary.
He's not sure that her request for his opinion is helping much. It's a difficult question to answer, for someone so much older than she is who would rather not start a reputation as being skeevy on top of all else he has in his history. That's a line he'd never cross, but that doesn't help him now.]
Seemed like you were doing okay. Don't really know much about this sort of thing.
[Which isn't directly answering the question but it's an attempt at diplomacy and hopefully that'll count for something.
Which brings him to the crux of the issue he can't ignore any longer, and an opening to ask:]
Are you liking it?
[Because that's all that concerns him now.]
no subject
But then that question again. It wasn't one that she got often. Her manager back home would want to know that she felt safe and comfortable, which was very important to her, but it was never a question of liking it*
I think...it's okay. I don't hate it.
*Her voice drops volume as she glances around, hoping her agent or the sponsors who got her this shoot weren't around to hear her, in case she got into bother*
no subject
[There's a difference between not hating something and actually liking it and Rude's getting the impression that Sonico at least doesn't enjoy this as much as she might.
Of course, he respects her desire not to get into trouble; his voice drops as hers does and he's more keenly aware than he's letting on of how close people might be to them. But he's also trying to make clear that if she needs an out, he's happy to provide her one - but without making it seem like she shouldn't be doing this if it's what she wants to do.]

Genessia Park | September 2nd
Alley planted her only remaining hand on her armored hip. "Because if there's some fancy party or something going on here, I am running away."
Genessia Park | September 2nd
She lightly brushed a few curls from her cheek. "I'm Crystal. I don't think we've meet. Are you not used to seeing models?"
Genessia Park | September 2nd
Genessia Park | September 2nd
"We were using camera's." She pointed to one of them that was being put away. Crystal's explained movies and TV to others in the past and it didn't bother her to explain camera's. Her tone was kind and easy, sounding like a patient teacher. "This particular photo will be featured in a magazine. Camera's use magnesium and silver filaments to imprint light onto a piece of paper." That's the overly simplified idea anyway.

Genessia Park | September 2nd
After a moment Crystal stood and walked over to the last few stragglers who've yet to leave the park. She asked a young man if he happened to have latest issue on him and when he confirmed yes he handed it over. She flashed him a smile that made him blush before turning back to Alley.
She held out the magazine for the woman to take a look at. "It's something enjoyable to read."

After Life;
He props himself up on the side of the bar, lifting up his butterfly mask and lifting his eyebrows in intrigue at her with a smirk planted on his face like usual.]
Someone's lookin' rather gorgeous today. Seems to me like someone's perfect in this line of work.
After Life;
Does that mean I can wear this to work? [She laughs softly, shaking her head as if dismissing the idea.] Thank you.
Hopefully I can bring in some more business.
After Life;
[He knew she was likely joking, but even if she wasn't, that attire would still fit right in at the club.]
If you didn't, then I'd be absolutely shocked. I don't see how you wouldn't help business with those gorgeous looks.
[He leans over the bar counter and snatches a bottle of liquor from one of the cabinets and snatches two small glasses, glancing back over to Crystal.]
How long you been workin' today?
After Life;
You're complimenting me a lot, you know that makes me think you might want something. [Crystal enjoys teasing her Gale. She takes a seat next to him, crossing her ankles while her skirt slides a few inches up her legs.]
About 6 hours? I was doing something else before this.
[Her schedule has gotten more hectic but she doesn't mind.]
After Life;
Aww come on, you know me. I fling the compliments around all the time to everyone. Do you truly think I'm not innocent in my endeavors to make people feel good?
[Yeah. Innocent. That's the last thing Gale here is.]
Geez, you've been busy. Think you're up to your shift tonight? I'm fine with lettin' you have days off for modeling, y'know.
After Life;
I think you enjoy making people feel good. Are you innocent? No and I like it better that way.
[Her voice is light and teasing.]
I'll be fine. I love working here and I want to keep it up. [She likes talking, flirting and meeting people which more or less sums up her job description.]
After Life;
Nova City | Both Crystal and Sonico
She had just been strolling past the museum before she noticed that Crystal was there, showing off a rather sharp dress. Oh, and Sonico was there too! ]
Oh hey there, you two!
[ Konoka isn't dressed in any flashy fashion, just wearing a casual top, jeans and heels. If they're in the middle of anything, Konoka might not recognize it until it was a step too late. Whoops. ]
no subject
Sonico glances out the corner of her eye to see Konoka, but she can't turn her head because the photographer is busy taking snaps. Then she glances towards Crystal, wondering if she noticed. Sonico for one found it hard to keep doing what she's doing with Konoka heading straight for them*
no subject
He seems content with that and tells everyone to take a five minute break before they finish up for the day. With that set Crystal steps over towards Konoka.]
You should be careful. I think he was very angry. How are you doing today?
[Crystal glances back at Sonico wondering if the pair of them have met before.]
no subject
Ah, sorry about that. Got excited when I saw just how amazing those dresses were! So you two are working together now?
no subject
She appears eventually beside Crystal and gives Konoka a small, shy wave*
Mhm. We've been doing all sorts of photo shoots together.
no subject
We work for the same agency and while we do work apart we also spend a great deal of time working together as well.
Hopefully you'll see more of our work soon.
