( open. ) firefighter calendar mingle!

[yuwon]

WHO: everyone!
WHAT: the firefighters put out a calendar every year and guess who is getting everyone involved.
WHERE: the venue for the photoshoot, somewhere in the city.
WHEN: within the first week of their arrival.
WARNINGS: nudity or partial nudity? will update warnings as they come.

The firefighters are looking for models to assist in their yearly calendar. Last year due to some mishaps, they missed the due date for this beloved tradition in the city, and so are not looking to really make sure everything is flawless this year. Since is no error for mistakes, they are even recruiting people to model as firefighters, as well as looking for people who can act as temporary photographers— in a city as busy as this one, it isn’t always easy booking a photographer for certain time slots.


1. As a photographer they are tasked to make the calendar spicy, but also unique! They figure one of the best selling points is variety. No more poses, the more avant-garde, the weirder even, the better! Like if your thing is posing with a carton of eggs, you do you!
2. Models are incentivized and even ranked (this is arbitrary, so I leave that all to you), so maybe this can also lift the competitive spirit of some! Or maybe you just really want to make some extra kryptos!
3. Outside of photographers and models, also looking for people who can enhance the overall experience. Do coffee runs for everyone, while also hyping or judging the models! Whatever they say fit! People can even stumble into these roles thinking they were here for a completing different reason! Or go out on an errand to come back and suddenly everyone is not as they once were.
4. Just have fun and free to make up your own scenarios! Even if it's walking in like 🧍‍♂️ I thought this was a pizza party.

NOTE: hi, this is the log for the firefighter calendar!

everyone is free to put up their top levels and tag around as they see fit. you can see it as you were messaged by someone randomly on the network about an opportunity to make additional kyptos, or they could have even found an ad. whatever works!

[ Compared to the slightly salted cardboard that was their introductory meal, she's absolutely loving the disgusting greasy mess of pizza they've been given for this shindig. At least the grease is easy on the palate. ]

I still can't believe they got you to twerk.

[problemagus]

( Cannot give a man enough time to repress this entire day from his memory, huh? )

Don't remind me.

( ...and up until 20 minutes ago, he didn't even know what twerking was. Kiritsugu is cringing at the thought. )

[saudadist]

[ Now is probably a bad time to mention she filmed it, huh? ]

I mean, it was impressive...in a way.

[problemagus]

( ... )

How so?

( Does he WANT to know? )

[saudadist]

[ She's making fun of you, Kerry. Don't indulge her. ]

I've certainly never seen a grown man move like that.

God, I kept forgetting to get back to this.

[problemagus]

( You know, you could probably attribute that to his missing ribs. )

Not a night club person, I take it?

( Not that he'd especially consider himself one, either. But it wasn't an uncommon practice for him while stalking targets on missions. )

[saudadist]

Not in the slightest. [ But... that does beg the question. ]

You're telling me you are?

[problemagus]

( Don't ask that, Lucy. Now you're just going to receive Unsolicited Assassin Advice™. )

Clubs are useful if you need to blend in with a crowd. The large swathes of people give you cover for hiding in plain sight, as well as allowing you to stake out a target unnoticed.

( TOTALLY NORMAL BEHAVIOR, LUCY. ARE YOU FOLLOWING THIS? )

[saudadist]

[ Honestly she's already regretting talking to him. But hey, at least she isn't flinching at the idea of him having to "stake out a target" or??? Something??? ]

Pretty sure work doesn't quite count for being a "night club person."

[problemagus]

( But Lucy..... have you considered........ Kiritsugu has no life outside of his work. )

Not really, I just assume that's what young people are into.

( KIRITSUGU, YOU'RE 29. )

[saudadist]

[ "Young people"? Just how ancient is this guy? There's no way he's pushing thirty yet wtf ]

Didn't think you were that old, Gramps.

[ look if he's going to give her the open door... ]

[problemagus]

( Somehow, he doesn't seem affected by this at all. )

I guess you could say that-- mentally speaking.

( Lucy, he's so tired. )

[saudadist]

[ He has her there. She can't even argue because...honestly? Yeah, she's been there and done that before. Hell, she's still in that mentality for a multitude of reasons.

Still weird to see it coming from someone else though. ]

Sometimes it's just like that.

[problemagus]

( It's fine, Lucy. He gets it. )

Adversity shapes a person, though it simultaneously ages them. I presume that may be the same for you.

( There's a hint of melancholy to his voice. She's so young... but then again, so was he. )

[saudadist]

[ That voice. What is that? Sympathy? Pity? She's not certain whether to stare him down or curl her lip in disgust.

She hasn't actually felt like a child since... Three years ago? Eight years ago? Or even further back? All the way back to the beginning?

Her left hand twitches involuntarily. A momentary spasm of her fingers recoiling toward her palm. She flexes her fingers once, twice, assuring herself the tendons are all fine. The motor movements still work perfectly. ]

There are many unhappy people in the world.

[ It's such a nothing answer. As if it doesn't concern her if she's one of those "unhappy people." ]
