( 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!

[ she's going to take a couple of gulps of her drink too. still no buzz, but she's feeling quite cozy now compared to before. ]

All Whalers use harpoons to hunt down Whales. There's a difference between that and a polearm; harpoons have more barbs than your usual lance, and there's a rope attached to the end of it that acts like a fishing line used to reel your catch in. And reeling one in really isn't easy.

[ she recites it like she read it off somewhere; she's studied the ways of the harpoon like an honor student, tbh. ]

I should ask you the same thing, actually. How did you learn how to fight? And did some god really appeared in front of you to give you your Vision?

[tidemark]

You know a lot about it. That speaks to your experience, I'm sure. [Now he's going to be daydreaming about being out at sea, catching monsters with harpoons. A beautiful fantasy... surely...] Perhaps I'll find a harpoon here and the two of us can train together. I'd like to learn from an expert.

[The way they have tolerances like alcoholics... Childe is feeling warm and comfortable, too, relaxing on the stool with long legs woven under the rungs, shrugging out of his coat to drape it across his lap.]

As for me, I had a Master. I owe most of what I've learned to her, since she found me when I was young and taught me how to be a warrior. But, no, you don't meet a god personally when you're granted a Vision. It appears before you alone—it is the manifestation of their will, supposedly. An acknowledgement of one's ambition tying them to the gods.

[And also to Big Brother Celestia.]

[ she drinks while he goes off, already signaling to the barkeep that she'll want another refill. she really is intending to get drunk tonight, okay...

but she catches what he said about wanting to learn how to use a harpoon, and smiles. ]

I rarely had anyone ask me for harpoon lessons, though. Sure. [ uwah, someone who's actually interested. she doesn't know why, but that cheers her up some. ] We'll have to make you one first. I wonder if there's a blacksmith around here...

[ but the other mention of ambitions and gods makes her wrinkle her nose for a sec. is all of that really necessary... ]

And is your ambition all about getting stronger? Is that it? That's pretty broad, if you ask me.

[tidemark]

[He accepts his own refill, too, though it will likely be his last of the night. One of them should be coherent enough to navigate them back to base.]

My own personal harpoon? Now I'm excited. [Maybe, once he's familiar enough with the weapon, he'll be able to create it out of Hydro, too.] I'm looking forward to training with you.

[As for her question...]

In the context of a goal, I find that being broad is not necessarily a bad thing. After all, it means I can use any means possible to achieve it, because there are no boundaries. I'll become stronger no matter the cost. [Insane person logic.] Of course, there are smaller steps to get there. Such as training with you in the technique of a harpoon. [He smiles broadly.]

[wheft]

[ it's... surreal, to find someone so earnest about wanting to get stronger just because he wanted to. like he's born to keep improving himself. that kind of fierce determination is admirable, yet at the same time terrifying. does he know how scary he is despite being so amicable like this?

maybe it's just ishmael thinking that. people with that much charisma scares her. she just doesn't want a repeat of last time. ]

That's... That's nice.

[ she returns his smile with a weak one of her own, before draining her entire mug in one go and raising another finger. yep, this is definitely why she needs to get drunk. by the time she drinks her... fourth? fifth mug? the buzz is beginning to set in, her head lolling slightly as she puts her drink down with a loud thud. ]
