( 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!

[ the more she speaks, the more certain he becomes that she didn't actually do any work. insert tuxedo mask gif. despite that, however, he does little more than cross his arms across his chest and release a nice, hefty sigh. ]

Hey. Don't say things that even a dog would laugh at. [ ... and also calling her out. just because he can. to be honest, he doesn't have an actual horse in the race, but he feels it wouldn't do to let this slide. he somehow gets the impression that she was the sort who took advantage when given a mile. ]

And don't say words you don't mean. [ dramatic pause. ] Besides, I think they decided on the cover. [ he points his thumb to a fake stuffed dog and a carton of eggs that have been put on a pedestal above where all the food was. ]

[plagiarists]

I can't hear you laugh, though.

[ He's getting on her nerves more and more... what is she doing here again? The answer is suffering. Besides, Yuwon's impression isn't wrong. I would piss her off to know that he can judge someone's character so accurately. ]

Oh no, I meant it. [ Her genius was ignored once again, tragic. ] How does losing to a stuffed dog and some eggs feel like?

[yuwon]

Because I'm not a dog. [ he retorts back without missing a beat.

he feels like the more he deals with her, the more he... doesn't necessarily become accustomed to her, but that he discovers surprising ways of dealing with her. not that it combats her penchant for always having the last word any.

at her question... well, admittedly, it was a weird choice, but it's weird enough where he figures it is less about them than it is about... the dog and eggs. ] I don't know. You seem like the type who would vote for them [ out of spite. ], so why don't you tell me what you found so appealing?

[plagiarists]

You sure? Sometimes you bark like a dog.

[ Don't ask her for timestamps, she's just saying whatever comes to her mind here to get back at him. All of her energy goes into ignoring how Yuwon reminds her of A Certain Someone Who's Also A Regressor. ]

I wouldn't vote for anything, if you're so inclined to know. [ What a gotcha she has here. ] Stuffed dog doesn't talk at least. And you can throw eggs at people who are annoying.

[ Her gaze says it all—you're annoying people, Yuwon. ]

[yuwon]

[ honestly, he could probably muster up one more word, but he decides that it isn't worth the effort. he should just count his blessings this time it's one of her... vs. four of her. ]

That's a waste of eggs. [ he says, before stepping in front of her, as if to stop her eyes from straying to them, or being too tempted. he even puts a hand out to block her line of sight. it's not that he cares about his civilian job, but he figures it probably wouldn't be a very good reflection on him moving forward if all the eggs at the shoot were massacred.... into a yokey mess. ]

[plagiarists]

[ She's watching him in silence, slightly confused because Yuwon protecting the eggs wasn't on her list of things that could happen today. To be fair, Yuwon wasn't on that list at all and yet here they are. ]

Wait, did you think that I would—

[ Even standing on tips of her toes doesn't help when he's blocking her line of sight like that. ]

You know, egg yolk is good for your hair.

[ Obtaining eggs to make a yokey mess didn't cross her mind... until now. ]

how is your icon so perfect for this...

[yuwon]

I did, and it looks like for good cause. [ zero regrets. zero remorse. especially, as he keeps his hand steadied as he continues to block her path to the eggs. who knew he'd also be here today ... defending these eggs. ]

Then I can help you with that.

[ these eggs are e for everyone. except for her, i guess. ]

i've been waiting for so long for a chance to use it

[plagiarists]

[ She's just a tiny gremlin, no matter how hard she tries to get around Yuwon, Sooyoung always gets blocked anyway. ]

Help me with—? [ Wait a second. ] Weren't you protecting these eggs just a moment ago, Mother Hen?

[yuwon]

Well, you seem to say you have a better use for them. [ with this he grabs a single egg and holds it over her... menacingly. or as menacingly as a man carrying an egg can be. he doesn't actually want to commit egg crimes. .. probably. ]

I'm sure the egg won't mind.

[plagiarists]

[ It is pretty menacing, to be honest. Sooyoung looks up slowly, as if doing it in slow-motion would protect her from having a raw egg smeared all over her head. ]

Listen... if you want to touch my hair because you're a creep, you can just ask...

[ She's trying to not lose face here, okay. ]

[yuwon]

[ his arm seem to linger closer and closer, before he suddenly just stops. ]

You really need to learn to behave.

[ ... and he actually wasn't going to crack the egg on her, but idk someone hits him from behind and he accidentally cracks it, eggs shells and all fall...

hopefully on the ground? ]

[plagiarists]

[ On the ground? After everything she's done? It's called karma. ]

I can be... [ The egg shells stop in her hair, but some of the egg yolk gets into her mouth. ] YUCK—!

[ She looks so pathetic right now. ]

[yuwon]

[ yuwon pauses in a fashion similar to how an old computer in the 90's booted up. slowly processing what happened, and actually... not feeling that bad about it. his personal feeling aside, he probably shouldn't have cracked an egg on one of the "volunteers" regardless if they've done absolutely nothing.

actually, the more he thinks about it, the more he thinks the egg is valid.

but, he doesn't actually put these into words. like a good regressor, he keeps it entirely to internal monologue. what actually comes out of his mouth is: ] ...!? [ ...

is he smiling? ]

[plagiarists]

Wow, you can crack an egg and a smile.

[ Sooyoung hates what she's just said just as much as the raw egg in her hair. In retaliation, she touches her head and reaches for his cheek to pinch it leaving some of the yolk on his face. ]

Bastard...

[yuwon]

[ while he tries to swat her hands away, it does little for when she weasels her way in and pinches his cheek. he feels the yolk coat his skin and his only comment for that is: ] Don't waste food. [ says...

the guy who cracked an egg. ] You should be thanking me. You got your protein for the day.

[plagiarists]

You cracked the egg, you know. [ That call out was necessary out of bracket text. ] I'm sure it's good for the skin, too. Somehow. Not that you need—

[ She almost said too much. It's all LILITH's fault to summon here so many people who are protagonist material. To distract Yuwon, she's going to pull his cheek a little. ]

Do you want to take care of me now? Are you falling for me?

[ Laughs ]

[yuwon]

Not that I need what? Are you going to finish what you're saying? [ it's difficult to discern if he's prodding her to be an ass, or if he truly didn't capture what she was trying to imply the first time around.

but, as his experiences with her would dictate, he barely has time to think about it when she spouts more nonsense... ] Is that what you want? [ especially, as she's pulling his cheek, he reaches for egg #2, sibling of egg #1. ]

[plagiarists]

You need to shut up.

[ This is the first time someone talked back to her that way, unbelievable. He should just get flustered or something. Or at least say that she's spewing nonsense instead of asking if that's what she wants. ]

What are you doing?! [ She sees that egg sibling, don't you think she doesn't. ] I swear, if you're going to try that again—

[ It sounds almost like an invitation to crack another egg on Sooyoung's head, doesn't it. ]

[yuwon]

[ it's so obviously defensive that it's kind of humorous. still, he wasn't really one to incessantly push a point, especially when he feels like she's not likely to divulge her actual thoughts. so, the only thing to rely on now was the looming threat of the egg in his hand. ]

Why? Didn't you say you like me taking care of you? [ is that what she said? some words might be skewed here.

the thing about these eggs, however is that they're far more delicate than the egg he had back home and this one also just breaks in his hand. so he reaches out and places his hand on her shoulder. why does he get the nagging feeling like they're going to be yelled at soon... ]

[plagiarists]

I don't need anyone—!

[ While it's true that she doesn't need anyone to smear egg yolk over her, the sentence will remain unfinished for eternity because the looming threat stops being just a threat and becomes a somewhat gooey reality for Sooyoung's shoulder. ]

I see how it is. [ No, she doesn't. ] You want to see me without my hoodie so badly that you decided to ruin it...

[ In retaliation, Sooyoung scoops some of the yolk off her shoulder and pats his cheek with her dirty hand. ]

Be honest with yourself, man.

[ They can get yelled at for all she cares, now she has business with Yuwon here. ]

[yuwon]

What benefit would there be for me to see you without it?

[ he asks pointedly, his eyes glancing over her for good measure. that is, before he feels the pap on his face as another layer of egg yolk gets smeared on. his expression couldn't be flatter as he pushes her hand away. ] Unless, you're saying you have something to hide.

[ yuwon didn't necessarily like trouble or noise, even if both seemed attracted to him somehow. "somehow," as he had no part in this egg debacle. that aside, he tosses the egg shells to the side, as he now places a careful hand on her shoulder as if to usher her away. except, oh right... there was egg yolk there too. ] But, you should take it off.

[plagiarists]

Are you seriously asking me about the benefits?

[ Incidentally, at that moment Sooyoung puffs her chest out. Is she trying to make a point? Yes. But her point might be lacking a bit. The other comment catches her off guard as well ass Yuwon's hand smearing the yolk on her shoulder. ]

You're so down bad for me it's embarrassing, you know?

[ Why isn't she removing the hoodie yet if she has nothing to hide, hmm!! ]

[yuwon]

[ he seems to cock his head, a clear "so what?" peppered somewhere in his posture and stance. though, he seems to move on quickly enough. even at her statement, he seems to give a nonchalant sideways glance, as if he couldn't even really be bothered to look at her.

he actually doesn't even feel like her statement of him being "down bad" even deserves a response.

there is careful apathy mixed in as he still grips loosely on her shoulder. he gives a slightly tug as if to solidify his previous point. ] Are you really going to be this stubborn? [ if he cared enough...

he might bring up the point that there were others who could clearly be uncomfortable, but yuwon didn't necessarily care about other people, or their gaze. what he does care about is the fact that she's acting pretty suspicious... and he was far from trusting by nature. ]

[plagiarists]

I will unless you nicely ask me to remove my clothes.

[ Things Sooyoung didn't expect to say today: this. It doesn't necessarily mean that she's not going to take advantage of the situation to cause maximum chaos. She peeks at his hand on her shoulder before shifting her gaze back to Yuwon's face.

By the way, she's bluffing about having something under her hoodie. It's just her naked body. That can be weaponized but... maybe not in this situation. ]

[yuwon]

[ no....

i see this is just another trap he's walked into. fortunately when she says that, he seems to stare her down. he opens his mouth, almost as if he's on the verge on returning her suggestion with one of his own, but instead, he releases his hold over her. instead, he walks to the nearest temporary locker...

idk, maybe it's a bit of a walk, before he reappears.

if she looks, she can see he's holding a change of clothes, which happens to be a shirt with the fire department logo on it. if it seems large, it's probably because it's his. ] Put that on. I don't want to hear you complaining.
