|Poses=:'''{{#var:648|Tomoyo Daidouji (648)}} has posed:'''<br><span></span>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;It's another chilly day in Tomoeda, the ground a little slick with slightly frosted water. The sky overhead is a dome of dull grey, and a cutting breeze blows through the streets. In such weather, most people would be inside, with heaters on full blast. But some Elites brave the streets for a single reason: to get paid.<br /><br />&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; They head towards Tomoyo's Boutique, the wooden sign above the door with 'Tomoyo' in Japanese and 'Boutique' in English. The store had the curtains behind the mannequins in the windows drawn, the door is firmly closed with a 'Sorry, We Are Closed' sign showing through the glass. But there is also a sandwich board out on the street, reading 'Elite Models come in!'<br> <br>

:'''{{#var:73|Frederica (73)}} has posed:'''<br><span></span>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;One elite, at least, has no qualms about going outside in the blustery cold. Frederica LIKES cold weather. Nothing cheers her more than snow at christmastime. It speaks to the kid inside her, and she can always provide plenty of internal heat to counter the worst of frosty weather. Besides, being a model! Frederica's already well-prepared for that, wearing clothing that is showy and somewhat skimpy and perhaps a bit impractical. In other words, her typical sort of outfit.<br> <br>

:'''{{#var:24|John Connor (24)}} has posed:'''<br><span></span>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; The cold isn't that bad to two people approaching the store, really, because one of them is wrapped in a heavy jacket and the other isn't made uncomfortable by extremes of heat or cold. John Connor steps up to the store, followed closely by the unassuming but constantly threatening presence of his bodyguard, Cameron. The way Derek tells it, she's really good at ballet - and modelling can't be that different, right?<br> <br>

:'''{{#var:10|Crys Gattz (10)}} has posed:'''<br><span></span>Crys Gattz was curious about Tomoyo's fashions she did enjoy such things and if she could get more durable clothing she was all the for it she was wearing something you'd expect in the tropics and she doesn't seem botehred by the cold at all. Her one eye looks about over the others as she makes for the stote she smirks a little but and it becomes an honest smile. <br /><br /> "This is going to be a nice change of pace."<br> <br>

:'''{{#var:495|Riva Banari (495)}} has posed:'''<br><span></span>"Look, there's nothing to worry about." Riva says. "You're going to get some nice clothes, and we're going to get to do some AWESOME ACTING for an advertisement! So we get paid and get to show off!" She might be giving the companion she is speaking gentle encouragement as they draw near.<br /><br />The others present get a wave as well. "Hi there Frederica! I knew you'd be here! And then there's you two!" Riva approaches John and Cameron and holds out a hand in greeting. "Nice to meet you both! I'm Riva, with the Union."<br> <br>

:'''{{#var:162|Zephyr Windstar (162)}} has posed:'''<br><span></span>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Zephyr isn't much for the modelling business. She's got that nasty facial scar and all that, and she tends towards the tomboyish tendency to wear what's comfortable instead of what's fashionable. Well, whatever, some people find that attractive, so here she is, wearing her off-duty uniform from the Ground Forces.<br> <br>

:'''{{#var:33|Arthur Lowell (33)}} has posed:'''<br><span></span>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Riva has brought along Arthur, who is very visibly doing his best to look like he came here willingly and with great confidence, and who actually almost had to get dragged here. But the good-natured kind of drag, definitely, the kind where the reluctance is pointless obstacles and where the dragging comes with no grudge. This is apparent to anyone with a brain, despite Arthur's best efforts to appear otherwise. The boy himself is in his God Tier outfit, which is surprisingly effective in cold weather due to adding a couple nice bits of fur lining and some gloves. "ALRIGHT, alright. I'll give it a SHOT. I get MAD RESERVING on the RIGHT TO WHINE and also the 'I TOLD YOU SO' RIGHTS if we start droppin' the WEIRD THREADS up ins."<br /><br />&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The boy himself strides and swaggers his way to the boutique in confident motions that, for aforementioned reasons, are one hundred percent hollow, opening it up dramatically! He doesn't know John or Zephyr, but he does give a bright wave to Frederica. "'EY! FRIKA! You're here too? Well shit, OF COURSE you are, this place be MAD STYLIN' from what I hear."<br> <br>

:'''{{#var:73|Frederica (73)}} has posed:'''<br><span></span>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Frederica grins at Riva. "I wouldn't miss it!" she gushes cheerfully. "I've been meaning to meet this girl and now that I've finished everything Christmas-related, well, it seemed like a good chance!" she claims. Arthur, despite being a guy, gets a wave and a friendly grin too. He's proven himself not the sort of boy she dislikes. Admittedly there's more in that group than she'd admit, but he's not actually done anything to offend her. Besides dying, that is.<br /><br />&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;When Zephyr comes in, looking a bit on the uncomfortable side, Frika moves over and scoops up the windmage's arm possessively. Probably lending a goodly amount of excess body warmth at the same time. Yeah, if anyone were to make the comment 'Frika's hot', they might be literally right! "Oooh, this ought to be fun! I think I'll like seeing Tomoyo make you glamorous!" she claims. And if there's a backhanded aspect to that, it completely escapes the notice of the pyro-girl.<br> <br>

:'''{{#var:24|John Connor (24)}} has posed:'''<br><span></span>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; John takes Riva's hand in his and shakes it firmly. "I'm John, and this is Cameron." Cameron, for her part, looks Riva up and down from feet to hair and says nothing. Her head turns here and there, glancing at everyone for a brief moment, and seems to decide that everyone is on the level. <br /><br />&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; "So," John says, "Hell of a party, hey?"<br> <br>

:'''{{#var:10|Crys Gattz (10)}} has posed:'''<br><span></span>Crys Gattz looks over to Riva and Arthur with a goofy grin on her face now as she sizes the two up for a moment beut she's disttacted by Frika's arrival whom gets a look over from Crys with a grin. <br /><br /> "Good to see you in person at last and I'm going to like it. I don't know many actual tailors and .... humm." <br /><br /> Crys pauses at Cameron and John for a moment. She hasn't seen them before.<br> <br>

:'''{{#var:648|Tomoyo Daidouji (648)}} has posed:'''<br><span></span>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Upon entering the store, the group is greeted with the rows of wooden shelves with materials on display. The desk to their right, encircling the corner and the changing rooms to their left. But more importantly, a circle of chairs have been set up right in front of them. In addition, multiple video cameras on tripods are set up outside it, pointing in. <br /><br />&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; At the moment, Tomoyo is tidying a pile of papers that rest on the desk when the group comes in. Turning around, she claps her hands together and offers a gentle smile. "Hello everyone~ Thank you for coming. Please, take a seat, and we'll get started shortly, okay?" She gestures at the circle of chair. <br> <br>

:'''{{#var:24|John Connor (24)}} has posed:'''<br><span></span>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; John settles into a seat, one that puts his back to a corner and gives him a view of the front door. Just in case. Cameron settles into the seat next to him, staring at Crys as she looks at the pair.<br> <br>

:'''{{#var:33|Arthur Lowell (33)}} has posed:'''<br><span></span>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;"'Ey!" Arthur comes in with a wide. beaming grin. "GREAT t'be here! Good finally meetin' ya in PERSON." When he takes a seat he does it in a grandiose, flashy sort of twirling motion that involves deftly spinning the seat once before settling down on it with expert timing, then leaning back on the back two legs in a very calculayted reclining position. Arthur is doing his best to look very cool today, and it's getting a little bit overdone. But, yes, he's now patiently awaiting Tomoyo's explanations.<br> <br>

:'''{{#var:162|Zephyr Windstar (162)}} has posed:'''<br><span></span>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Zephyr is armscooped. The mage blinks at Frederica owlishly. "Uh, Hi." she says intelligently, quite unsure how to react. The state of confusion doesn't last long though, as Tomoyo appears, Zephyr tugs her arm away from Fred's grasp and folds it over her chest with the other one. "I don't /do/ 'glamourous'." she replies, going all Tsuntsun. Hmmph.<br> <br>

:'''{{#var:495|Riva Banari (495)}} has posed:'''<br><span></span>The tactical advantage of the I Told You So Reservation cannt be denied, but Riva's willing to give it up for Reasons. She loks over her shoulder and waves a hand nonchalantly towards Arthur. "She wouldn't be advertising the WEIRD THREADS, we're doing this for a COMMERCIAL. You don't do commercials with WEIRD THREADS, they don't market as well!" She sounds confident enough, but, well... <br /><br />She hopes. <br /><br />Cameron and John get greeted with effusive Rivaness. "It's so good to see you both! I keep hearing you guys on the radio, but it's the first time I've had a chance to meet you in person!" <br /><br />Crys also gets greeted as she approaches. "Hi there! Nice to see you too! And I hear she's /awesome/." <br /><br />Frederica gets a nod. "I know, right? You and her can probably swap tips and make even more awesome things~" She replies with a grin. <br /><br />Finally, they enter, and Riva almost prances as she waves to Tomoyo. "Hiiiiiiiiii! It's so good to meet you! I can't wait to see how this is going to go down!" She takes a seat pulling Arthur along to sit down too.<br> <br>

:'''{{#var:33|Arthur Lowell (33)}} has posed:'''<br><span></span>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;"SOLID POINT!" Arthur says, as he's settling in, doing a brief snap and point to Riva. "No accounting for some WEIRD TASTES sometimes, though, you know? Well, WE'LL SEE! I'm TOTALLY CONFIDENT that she won't have the same AWFUL MISUNDERSTANDINGS that Crowraven gets, but I still like gettin' MAD CAUTION ON when shit looks like it might get like that."<br> <br>

:'''{{#var:10|Crys Gattz (10)}} has posed:'''<br><span></span>Crys Gattz enters inside with the others and aims to sit sit down crossing her legs and looking to be in a very good mood. fgrom the looks of her and she laughs. <br /><br /> "You have as much energy as my younger brother." <br /><br /> She nods a few times and just make herself comfortable. <br /><br /> "I don't mind showing off if it helps us all and it looks like it be a lot of fun!" <br /><br /> Looks for note like she fell out of some anime Riva might have watched before she swallowed a bee.<br> <br>

:'''{{#var:73|Frederica (73)}} has posed:'''<br><span></span>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Frederica seems to enjoy Zephyr's tsuntsun reaction. Then again, she seems to enjoy torturing her friends. Oh well. She smirks at Zephyr. "We'll see~" she teases, then lets poor Zephyr do her own thing.<br /><br />&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;"Oh, I'm just an amateur at these things." Frederica replies to Riva. A skilled amateur perhaps, but merely an enthusiastic hobbyist when it comes to making outfits. Not on the level of Tomoyo or someone like Rarity. She takes a seat, making no effort to watch the door or to be otherwise suspicious, though she seats herself delicately on the edge of her seat like she's ready to off at the slightest provocation, crossing her legs and clasping her knees before her.<br> <br>

:'''{{#var:648|Tomoyo Daidouji (648)}} has posed:'''<br><span></span>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; When everyone is seated, Tomoyo takes a seat herself, brushing down the front of her apron and clasping her hands together before starting to speak. "Thank you all for coming in such horrid weather. As you probably guessed, I'm Tomoyo Daidouji. Now, just to remind you, you're nor committed to anything yet, you can leave any time." <br /><br />&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; After a pause, to let that sink in, she continues. "I need actors for a commercial for this store. Essentially, the commercials will be a 'before and after' deal. You'll show off what you can do in your typical clothes, and then show how my clothes make doing that easier or safer." <br /><br />&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; "So! To that end, I'll need to know... well, your names first, but also, what powers or skills do you possess that you would be comfortable in showing off to the camera?" <br> <br>

:'''{{#var:162|Zephyr Windstar (162)}} has posed:'''<br><span></span>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Zephyr uhms. "Oh, didn't know it was that kinda gig... I uh... heh. My powerset includes protective outfits so, I probably should just go, since I'm takin' up space." she rubs the back of her head and goes to stand and leave, unless someone stops her.<br> <br>

:'''{{#var:24|John Connor (24)}} has posed:'''<br><span></span>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; John asks, "Well, that depends. What's the distribution going to be like for these commercials?"<br> <br>

:'''{{#var:73|Frederica (73)}} has posed:'''<br><span></span>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Frederica shrugs. "Well, I don't mind people knowing my abilities. I produce and manipulate fire." she says. Plenty of obvious application there, surely.<br /><br />&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;When Zephyr stands up, Frika reaches out to latch her finger onto the (much) taller girl's sleeve. The grip is tenacious, though nothing Zephyr couldn't pull free of. Frederica's strength isn't in her body after all. "Stay." she orders. Then, less gruffly, "It's acting. We're pretending for the camera, that's all. She's not actually going to improve our powers or make them safer.... er, right?" she adds, somewhat hesitantly.<br> <br>

:'''{{#var:495|Riva Banari (495)}} has posed:'''<br><span></span>Riva laughs as Crys mentions her energy. "It's okay, I just like to grab life by the horns, you know?" <br /><br />Riva tilts her head at the mention of the Crowraven Misunderstandings. She knows better than to bring up something like that, especially /here/ of all places. <br /><br />Tomoyo asks for information, then, and Riva nods. "My name is Riva Banari. I generally use guns or swords to fight, channelling Anima into weapons and such. There's a bunch of options available, I think, but I'm always interested in hearing your ideas too, I think." <br /><br />At Fredrica's question, Riva shrugs. "I have no idea. Maybe Tomoyo is a Clothes Wizard!" She chuckles. "That would be /totally amazing/."<br> <br>

:'''{{#var:33|Arthur Lowell (33)}} has posed:'''<br><span></span>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;"Hahahaha! ACTING! HYPE! I am an EXPERT in EVERY bit of HYPIN' DUDES UP." Arthur says, grinning wide and pointing up intensely as his chair slams its legs back down dramatically! "The name's ARTHUR LOWELL! ROCKET-POWERED JERK and KNOW-NOTHING PUNK! Lotta my stuff deals with ROCKETS and GENERAL FIGHTING, all that kinda thing. I'm a MAGICAL DUDE." Dude looks more like magical girl, honestly, even if he doesn't talk like one. "These MAGE ROBES are SLICK, but SHIT GETS REAL and you get WAY TOO MUCH MAGIC goin' on up ins, you know? I'll show off a little INTENSE MAGIC and maybe you got somethin' good for that?"<br /><br />&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;While he remains seated, he shows what he means for a second, doing a brief SHOUNEN CHARGING MOMENT where brilliant black and white fiery light rushes around him. It is predictably unhealthy for clothing to be strained by dramatically rushing wind, and Arthur's overly-loose godly robes look like they're liable to get torn off with repeated SHOUNEN CHARGING MOMENTS. This also is possibly completely unneeded and just something Arthur chronically insists on adding as cool flair to the stuff.<br /><br />&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Then he instantly calms down. "See, like that. Don't wanna lose my COOLNESS and SWEET POWER LOOKS, but maybe a lil' less constantly havin' to REMAKE GOD ROBES 'cause of SEAMS that can't handle the MANGRIT would be cool."<br> <br>

:'''{{#var:10|Crys Gattz (10)}} has posed:'''<br><span></span>Crys Gattz Says "I am I admit but I made some good money doing some calender shoots in the past. The elites for the union in this sector used to do such every year." <br /><br /> She turns to Tomoyo and listens with interest as she wonders about the commericals, Riva makes a comment. <br /><br /> "That's how I lived nearly all of my life." <br /><br /> She turns her attention to Tomoyo and humms. <br /><br /> "I'm Crys Gatzz I'm a close up melee combatant with some control over ice, lightning and fire."<br> <br>

:'''{{#var:648|Tomoyo Daidouji (648)}} has posed:'''<br><span></span>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Tomoyo looks a little crestfallen when Zephyr makes to leave, smiling her thanks to Frederica when she stops her. "That's right! It would just be for a little while. I'm not asking you to wear the outfit into a real fight." Tomoyo looks to John a little sheepishly. "Well uh... Multiverse-wide, if I can manage it. But if you're concerned about the people coming after you, I can blur faces!"<br /><br />&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; When Frederica stated her fire-manipulation ability, Tomoyo takes a little notebook from her apron along with a pen and starts writing. "So, something fire-resistant and insulated would be good... I'll look up what goes into fire fighter uniforms." Listening to Riva, she nods and carries on writing. "Hmm... Anima. Could you extrapolate on what that is for me please?" <br /><br />&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; She actually giggles a little at Arthur's outburst, watching in fascination as he powers up. "Hmm... so something very sturdy, to withstand your powering up..." Looking to Crys, she beams. "Oh, I see. Clothes with some kind of all-purpose insulator woven in might be good..." <br /><br />&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; She resumes scribbling, flipping to another page and scribbling some more. "Uh, okay! Getting some ideas already. Now uh, for those who already answered my first question, I have a follow-up. Are there any styles you like, any accessories you enjoy wearing? I like to think I have a good idea for what would suit someone, but I want your input on what you would like your outfit to be~" <br> <br>

:'''{{#var:24|John Connor (24)}} has posed:'''<br><span></span>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; John says, "Hey, just wondering." He leans back in his chair, clasping his hands in his lap. He looks over to Cameron, who begins to speak. <br /><br />&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; "My name is Cameron Baum. I can use any weapon from pistols and submachine guns to assault rifles and grenade launchers, including plasma rifles in the forty watt range. I would be comfortable in displaying any of these for the camera." <br /><br />&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; After a moment, John adds: "And ballet." <br /><br />&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; "Yes," Cameron states, "I can also dance."<br> <br>

:'''{{#var:162|Zephyr Windstar (162)}} has posed:'''<br><span></span>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Zephyr stops short when grabbed. She stares at Frederica but then Tomoyo says her piece. "Oh... uh... Well, Dee, can we fire up the Barrier Jacket without the outer layer?" she asks, looking to her right wrist and the coin there-upon. <span class=" fg_m bg_n ++ m">&lt;TESTING REQUIRED!&gt;</span> states the Device with a soft chime. "Well, the Barrier Jacket is just armour... Hnn." she shrugs. "Well, what the hell, my Mana naturally converts into Wind Element, I fly and can engage in melee with empowered weapon forms or from range with beams and pulses of magical energy." she plonks herself back into her chair after saying her piece.<br> <br>

:'''{{#var:33|Arthur Lowell (33)}} has posed:'''<br><span></span>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Arthur puts a hand up, finger pointed dramatically to gesticulate something, and opens his mouth to call out one of his trademark ENTHUSIASTIC RESPONSES! Nothing comes out, and he kinda freezes there for a moment. After blinking a few times, he comes back to pondering. "You know, everything kinda ended and pop culture got stuck on 2009-era. And, I mean, I've just kinda worn whatever since then. Usually whatever gets the magic going or keeps me from getting murdered or freezing to death or whatever."<br /><br />&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;After a moment, he tries to restore his enthusiasm. "HEY! RIVA! FRIKA! Help a bro out here, you guys are CAUGHT UP on the CULTURE and shit. I've been workin' the DISASTER SURVIVOR look for a BILLION GODDAMN YEARS and I have NO IDEA what else I can work with. Either'a you got IDEAS? TOMOYO, maybe?" Arthur's come to the startling realization that he doesn't actually know anything about fashion because he has literally had zero opportunity and cause to consider it seriously in billions of years.<br> <br>

:'''{{#var:73|Frederica (73)}} has posed:'''<br><span></span>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;"I know!" Frederica exclaims in sudden delight. This should probably set off warning bells. "Maybe you can use lightning powers, and it makes your hair stand on end!" she grins. It's all in the name of fun.<br /><br />&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;More seriously, she turns to Tomoyo. "I don't set my clothes on fire." she says, lifting a hand and filling her open palm with fire. "Any more than I set my skin on fire." she adds, willing the fire ball to transform into a tiny fire sprite. She transfers this to her shoulder. "So an outfit that protects me from fire isn't necessary. What'll be important is somehow letting me set clothing on fire to burn without that burn actually harming me. If it's not MY fire, I'm not so protected."<br> <br>

:'''{{#var:10|Crys Gattz (10)}} has posed:'''<br><span></span>Crys Gattz says "I prefer to keep thinks simple however my gauntlet and glove needs to be worked into whatever ever I wear as my shield system is based out of it so there's that I'm sorry I didn't think to mention that." <br /><br /> She seems to be in a good mode and is scoping out the others at th mention of style. <br /><br /> "So I tend to melee weapons raning from sabers, knives and other heavier melee weapons. I need something that will not restrict my movment." <br /><br /> Then Arthur admits his issue on fashion. <br /><br /> "humm we could have some fun with that, you two. I could offer some ideas if you like!"<br> <br>

:'''{{#var:495|Riva Banari (495)}} has posed:'''<br><span></span>"HELL YEAH!" Riva says, pumping an arm next to Arthur as he lays it out. "He's a total badass, check out those dramatic SUPER MOVES." Her exuberance just seems to remain 'on' around Arthur. <br /><br />Tomoyo, however, asks her for RELEVANT INFORMATION. "Anima is... world-power. Ley lines and all that. I've been told it's the life force of a planet?" Riva nods. "I'm sorry if it's not all that exact..." Riva says with some small amount of embarassment. <br /><br />Arthur asks for a hand there, and Riva nods. "How about some kind of PROFESSIONAL ATTIRE. Get the SUPER SPY action going, maybe with your god-sign thing going on the chest pocket."<br> <br>

:'''{{#var:33|Arthur Lowell (33)}} has posed:'''<br><span></span>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Arthur does his best to help Riva while Riva helps him. A bit of feedback is given to Tomoyo. "HEY! You know what's always GREAT for NATURAL ENERGIES like whatever ANIMA is? Getcha some fuckin' INLAYED CORDS of ALL-NATURAL FABRICS up in that motherfucker, all spun up in some DIRECTIVE GEOMETRIC SHAPES. Don't even gotta be VISIBLE, but hey, COMPLETELY RANDOM SPITBALLING IDEA, could help on ENHANCING some shit, yo."<br /><br />&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Arthur then turns back to Riva. "RADICAL, I like the IDEA! Some kinda PROFESSIONAL looking sorta thing could be GREAT! I got NO IDEA what the MAGE equivalent is of some SUPER-SPY but LET'S MAKE IT HAPPEN." He does little fist-pumping enthusiastic motions.<br> <br>

:'''{{#var:73|Frederica (73)}} has posed:'''<br><span></span>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Frederica reaches out to swat at Arthur, not putting any force behind her fingertips nor making any real attempt to ensure the swat hits, so it's easy to dodge and wouldn't hurt even if not dodged. "Don't swear like that." she says primly. It's not that she objects to swearing, per se. Many of her allies swear, some vulgarly. It's Arthur's choice of swear word combined with the offhanded subject matter that's got her irritated. If he were to be swearing about something important, or in the heat of anger, she wouldn't bat an eyelash.<br> <br>

:'''{{#var:33|Arthur Lowell (33)}} has posed:'''<br><span></span>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Arthur takes the swat good-naturedly, without begrudging it in the least. "Hahahaha! OKAY, OKAY. I'll TAKE IT DOWN A NOTCH. Only ONE NOTCH though. Gotta KEEP IT REAL, yo." He says, with good humor on his voice. He clearly takes Frederica's friendly shenanigans entirely in stride.<br> <br>

:'''{{#var:648|Tomoyo Daidouji (648)}} has posed:'''<br><span></span>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Tomoyo taps her pen to her chin as she peers at Cameron. "Hmm... so, you're agile... oh! I have an idea for the ad I would put you in now. Here's how it goes. You have a gun, and there are some dummies around you. You have to shoot each dummy, but for the 'before' segment, you wear some ill-suited clothing. During the segment, we get some zoom-ins on points where they restricted your movement. Then, for the 'after' segment, you do the same, but in the outfit I made. Does that sound okay with you?" <br /><br />&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Looking over to Zephyr, she smiles now that the girl is opting to stick around. "Flight, hmm~? Okay, I'm thinking something sleek and aerodynamic. A 'before' segment that illustrates how your clothes might restrict flight, cause extra drag, weigh you down. Maybe throw in a reading with a speed camera the police use to show your top speed... then for the after, you fly about in the outfit I make, with another showing of your top speed. Okay?" <br /><br />&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Looking to Arthur, an appalled look crosses her face. "You're that out of touch? Oh my, you need this more than anyone! As for what might suit you... hmm, maybe a mix of tough-guy looks with some grandiose elements. Muscle shirt, cargo pants, boots... but with a billowing cape or scarf. 'Before' segment showing how your powering up rips up your clothes, 'after' shows how the outfit I make can hold together." <br /><br />&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Rubbing her chin as she listens to Frederica, she suddenly snaps her fingers. "I got it! 'Before' segment shows you having to keep flames from a flamethrower away, some zoom-ins on damage they might have caused. 'After' shows you in the outfit I make, letting the flames wash over you with no damage. That might be a bit dangerous though, is that okay with you?" <br /><br />&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Finally, looking to Crys, she nods. "Oh no, it's fine~ I'll be able to incorporate the gauntlet no problem. But by styles, I mean styles of clothing, not fighting styles. Something light and insulated... maybe have you take down dummies with your powers? Where you kind of go all-out with them, so that there might be some clothing damage? Then in 'after' you do the same, but with zoom-ins to show that your clothes stay pristine?" <br /><br />&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; She giggles at Riva, rubbing her chin... then points to Arthur, eyes sparkling when he mentions weaving natural fibres all throughout the outfit. "That's a great idea! 'Before' she can show off her drawing on this power... maybe I can get a sensor that reads it? And then in 'after' she does it in my outfit, with that idea, so that it can show she has more to draw on! Does that sound okay with you?" <br> <br>

:'''{{#var:24|John Connor (24)}} has posed:'''<br><span></span>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; "Yes," Cameron replies, "That sounds fine." Well, someone's easy to work with, it seems.<br> <br>

:'''{{#var:162|Zephyr Windstar (162)}} has posed:'''<br><span></span>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Zephyr hmms. "I guess that'd work... we can disable the bubble and fly 'naked' for this I guess." she says, looking down at Divine Wind on her wrist again. <span class=" fg_m bg_n ++ m">&lt;OKAY!&gt;</span> comes the reply chime. "Remember to compensate for the friction heat though... I don't wanna turn into a blazing fireball any time soon."<br> <br>

:'''{{#var:626|Kyra Hyral (626)}} has posed:'''<br><span></span>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Cold, rainy, sleet-filled weather isn't something that will deter a native of Ramuh. Finding the right Japan, the one that actually contains Tomoeda, however, is a bit more of a challenge. Kyra Hyral had meant to arrive way earlier but a bit of operator error left her in the wrong place. <br /> <br /> &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The white mage thunders into front door of Tomoyo's Boutique, a gust of cold wind accompanying her. She seems out of breath and red in the face-quite obvious against her super pale skin. "SorryI'mlate!" she heaves as she tugs the door shut behind her before the weather can wreak havoc on the inside of the store. "Riiivaaaa hiiii.." she exhales as she looks for a place to sit for a few seconds.<br> <br>

:'''{{#var:73|Frederica (73)}} has posed:'''<br><span></span>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Frika narrows her eyes at Arthur, but nods. "Be sure it's one notch then." she says with a firm nod. She's fine with him swearing as long as he's not so damn VULGAR about it!<br /><br />&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Tomoyo's suggestion worries Frederica a little, but she has no intention of showing it. "That should be just fine." she claims, fidgeting somewhat. She's not fearless or anything, but fire doesn't scare her. Much. Well okay, at least it's a terror she knows all about, and has been facing for a looong time. She can rely on herself to overcome it.<br> <br>

:'''{{#var:33|Arthur Lowell (33)}} has posed:'''<br><span></span>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;"SHIT YEAH, sounds RAD." Arthur says. "Yeah, KINDA outta touch. I keep the STYLE to my SWAG instead of, you know, THREADS. 'Cause most of the THREADS before had to be BULLETPROOF and most of 'em NOW are just kinda LEFTOVERS." He seems a little... Sheepish about this? Odd. And then there's Kyra here! "OH HEY, it's YOU!" Arthur gives a quick grin and a wave to Kyra on her entry, and then a bit more good-natured appeasing gestures to Frederica. "S'alright! Got your NOTCH, I'm a STRAIGHT-UP DUDE, ain't gonna have me GO BACK on STUFF I SAY."<br /><br />&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;"ANYWAY!" Arthur's back to Tomoyo. "Sounds like that's JUST ABOUT SETTLED, I'm GOOD TO GO whenever YOU ARE!" He's leaning back in his chair again, propping it back on those two legs and clasping his hands behind his head in a perfectly-calculated image of relaxation that takes more effort to do than it saves, honestly.<br> <br>

:'''{{#var:495|Riva Banari (495)}} has posed:'''<br><span></span>Riva nods. "Yeah, I've seen someone put Anima Circuits in clothing. Normally they just glow a little bit. I have some of the material they use at home, I brought it with me in case it'll help." She nods, then. "That's a great plan, too. I like it!" Riva bounces in her chair, then looks over to Arthur. <br /><br />"The super spy is basically a mage! They're smart and they're all SUAVE and get down to ACTION. Perfect for you." She points, grinning. "And I'm sure Tomoyo can make them decorative as well as effective! It'll be awesome!" <br /><br />A WILD KYRA APPEARS! Riva waves to her as well. "HEY KYRA! Glad to see you here! Can you believe this? We're going to get to be in an awesome commercial!"<br> <br>

:'''{{#var:10|Crys Gattz (10)}} has posed:'''<br><span></span>Crys Gattz looks to Tomoyo with a grin on her face. <br /><br /> "Ah well I'd like something that wouldn't reist the movment of my joints is the biggest thing I enjoy freedomn of movment and likely a future feel to things really but I can trust you and that sounds like an idea I do have that problem on occasison to be honest!"<br> <br>

:'''{{#var:648|Tomoyo Daidouji (648)}} has posed:'''<br><span></span>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Tomoyo looks around and smiles, her notebook filled with scribbles of ideas. "Okay~ I've got some ideas for you all, but I don't want to keep you longer than necessary~ We can sort it all out later." But then, Kyra! She smiles at the latecomer and says, "Oh, no trouble. We're just discussing how the ads might go, and the outfits you'll get. What can you do, ma'am?" she asks sweetly. <br /><br />&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; But then, a black-haired boy with a closed-eyes smile comes in, carrying stacks of paper. "Ah, good timing Yamazaki~ Everyone, here are the contracts you need to sign. He'll hand them out." Indeed he does, giving everyone a contract. A read-through would show that it is all above-board.<br> <br>

:'''{{#var:626|Kyra Hyral (626)}} has posed:'''<br><span></span>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Kyra can immediately tell by the yelling that the lanky youth before him must be ARTHUR LOWELL. "/Yes/." Kyra says once she's regained her breath. "It is I! And you are obviously Arthur. I can tell because you look like a Mage of Space." Kyra has no idea what one is supposed to look like but because Arthur is wearing a fancy-looking mage-robe-y outfit (of traditional or ceremonial nature???) she assumes that must be it. <br /> <br /> &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Kyra waves back to Riva cheerfully. "Oooooh, is that what the offer is for? /Sweet/! Do these commercials go all over the multiverse?" <br /> <br /> &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Kyra turns to Tomoyo, the resident Mistress of Fashion...and waves her hands. "Kyra, just Kyra, I'm waaay too young to be called a ma'am! As for me, I heal people and blow stuff up. Occasionally I also make things bleed from their pores for a few minutes. Assuming they have blood." She beams.<br> <br>

:'''{{#var:73|Frederica (73)}} has posed:'''<br><span></span>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Frederica gives her contract a glance, but only a glance. Either she's a champion speed-reader or she's prone to trust fashionable young girls. That is to say Tomoyo, not Yamazaki. She signs it without qualm or thought. It ought to be FUN!<br> <br>

:'''{{#var:495|Riva Banari (495)}} has posed:'''<br><span></span>Riva nods and reaches out for the contract, looking it over with a cursory glance. Man, if Tomoyo wasn't legit Riva would be in trouble. "Looks good to me!" She announces, and pulls out a pen from... Somewhere... to sign and date and nnotate it and all that legal jazz. <br /><br />As she does so, she calls to Kyra, "Yeah, totally! I bet they'll be EVERYWHERE."<br> <br>

:'''{{#var:33|Arthur Lowell (33)}} has posed:'''<br><span></span>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Arthur Lowell signs his contract immediately with a bit of magically summoned ink! Whatever motivations he has for being so immediately trusting of this situation, he's just powering ahead! He's done so with great, intense DRAMA to his signature. And then a grin and a point to Kyra! "HELL YEAH, you KNOW IT! You know WHO I AM just LOOKIN' at me. Good t'MEETCHA in PERSON now!" He flicks the paper at Tomoyo now, expertly managing to somehow have it flutter to rest just in front of her!<br> <br>

:'''{{#var:162|Zephyr Windstar (162)}} has posed:'''<br><span></span>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Zephyr sits and reads the contract, cross referencing with Divine Wind as her Device enhances the text so it's easier to read. She's likely the last to finish reading and actually put pen to paper, but she does so with a quick flourish that leaves an amazingly neat signature.. one of the few things about the teen that could be called 'neat'.<br> <br>

:'''{{#var:24|John Connor (24)}} has posed:'''<br><span></span>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; John takes a few minutes to read the contract, and then re-read it, just making sure there's no horrible clauses in there. Hmm, everything seems to be in order. He hands it to Cameron then, who signs her signature precisely along the dotted line.<br> <br>

:'''{{#var:10|Crys Gattz (10)}} has posed:'''<br><span></span>Crys Gattz nods to Tomoyo winking her eye as she does so. <br /><br /> "I can't wait to see what you come up with Tomoyo, I suspect we'll be turning heads in what you cook up for us." <br /><br /> She looks at Riva's attuide to this. <br /><br /> "Oh this is going to get us some notice I think, in a good way!" <br /><br /> She looks over the contract and she's fairly quick to sign it in a somewhat alien script that might be derrived from English.<br> <br>

:'''{{#var:648|Tomoyo Daidouji (648)}} has posed:'''<br><span></span>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Rubbing her chin, Tomoyo grins at Kyra. "So you're a medic then~? Well, you'll need clothes that don't let stuff like blood and dirt cling to them. If you want to be involved, I'm thinking... it will be a little gross! For the 'before,' you get water with food colouring splashed on you, to show how it soaks in and stains. For the 'after' you get it again, but with my outfit, it'll all just slide right off! Is that okay?" <br /><br />&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; She hands Kyra a spare contract, before beaming at the others. "Thank you all so much~! Now then, in order to make your clothes, I'm going to need measurements." She produces a tape measure from her apron, and beams sweetly. "Boys to the left dressing room, Yamazaki will measure you. Girls to the right, and I'll measure you~" <br> <br>

:'''{{#var:626|Kyra Hyral (626)}} has posed:'''<br><span></span>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;"Yep!" Kyra eyes Arthur up, "Definitely glad to meet you in person." <br /> <br /> &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;"-huh, really? You can make stuff that is bloodstain resistant? That sounds /awesome/. I'm in." <br /> <br /> &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Now that she knows that these commercials are apparently going EVERYWHERE, Kyra reaches over and takes one of the contracts off of the stack. A pen is snatched from the front pockets of her hoodie, the end obviously well chewed on. It gets further chewed as Kyra reads the contract contents. After a moment, she signs.<br> <br>

:'''{{#var:10|Crys Gattz (10)}} has posed:'''<br><span></span>Crys Gattz looks to Tomoyo seemingly happyh with eveyrthing she nods dfor a moment and happilly rattle off her measurements if needed, but if they want to get a hard measurement of it she's got no issue at all.<br> <br>
