( 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!

Melville... [ She has no frame of reference for the name to recognize it at all. It's not Japanese, so it sounds about as valid as anything else.

She doesn't hesitate in grabbing the suit, at least. It's barely been out of the costumer's hands before she's removing the robe and pulling the suit on over the bikini. ]

What were you planning for the shot?

[wheft]

Oh, I was just going to be some sexy firefighter. I only need to wear the cargo pants and leave my jacket open. The crop top is supposed to show off my abs or whatever.

[ so, you know. simple yet effective. there are also the scars that litter her skin, but she doesn't bring too much attention to it. for her, it's just normal to have them.

anyway, she prattles on while tying the blue ribbon into a neat little bow in mere seconds. ]

Dunno why they're making you wear a swimsuit, but assuming that you're supposed to be in some body of water, you can just be a diver instead. Boats can catch on fire too depending on the faulty equipment you bring aboard on it.

[saudadist]

The swimsuit was underneath the firefighter getup.

[ She finishes pulling on the diving suit, but her discomfort still doesn't ease up. Just the fact of having to dress up at all rubs on a raw nerve. But hey, at least she can commiserate with another equally ill-tempered redhead to make up for that fact. ]

Shouldn't I have a snorkel or something then? Or am I just going to be popping up out of the "water" at you?

[wheft]

True, but they'd still want you to show off your assets in the photos. Can't forget the "sexy" part.

[ sure, the diving suit might be a tad skintight, but at least she's no longer showing skin. we take what we can get here, ok. ]

A snorkel could make you more convincing. It's really up to you, though. Most divers would rather use an actual breathing apparatus, but at this point it'd be too nitpicky.

[ once again, can't forget the "sexy" part. ]

[saudadist]

[ Ugh, that means she'll probably have to leave it unzipped. Maybe. Definitely good she left the bikini on underneath then. ]

A boat prop, then. Wonder if they'd have a small one around.

[ She might be thinking about it too hard, but hey, at least she's thinking about it! ]

[wheft]

You can use a boat's steering wheel for that. Anyway, you shouldn't think too hard on it. That's the costumer's problem now.

[ waves hand, waves hand. ]

Are you done with that ribbon yet?

[saudadist]

Huh? Mine? Oh... [ She holds up her project. There are more ribbons than probably expected near the ends of the band, but they're small, allowing for the rest of their lengths to hang down all the way to one's elbows. ] How's it look?

[wheft]

Hmm.

[ hold on, she's going to take a closer look. it's fine if a little lopsided, so ish is going to widen the loops to help shorten the lengths of the ribbon, and she does the same with her own ribbon too. ]

There we go. [ she attaches them to her headband and puts it on. ] How do I look?

[saudadist]

[ Lucy is quiet a moment, staring, studying. Just as she thought, the wildfire of Ishmael's hair makes the blue ribbons stand out starkly. The wavy shapes of the tails looks like jet streams used to put out ocean fires. Not bad at all. Perhaps her eye is keener for color combinations than she thought. ]

It looks good to me. Like I thought it would.

[wheft]

...Thanks.

[ she offers lucy a smile. a small one, as though she's embarrassed. rarely anyone looks at her with wonder like that before, and she doesn't know how to react. ]

Guess it's our turn to our photos taken. Ready to get this over with?

[saudadist]

[ The smile shouldn't throw her for a loop, but it does. It's suddenly too awkward to look at her directly. Hopefully that heat rising up to her face is just her imagination too... ]

As I'll ever be, I guess. Rip off the bandage, and all that.
