Who: Grell Sutcliff (as "Eric Slingsby")
deathknellgrell, Nelliel Tu Odelschwanck
gamuzadeclares, and William T. Spears
pushesupglasses When: Monday morning
Where: "Eric's" photography studio
Summary: After working with Nelliel on a fashion shoot, "Eric" asks her to model for "art" photos. Nelliel doesn't know this, but working hard is Grell's attempt to distract himself from his broken heart. What Nelliel also doesn't know is that by "art," Eric means "nude"! Shenanigans ensue...
Warnings: Grell with a camera. Also, action tagging FTW!
[ The key to getting good portraits, Grell has discovered, is making the models feel comfortable. His photographer persona, "Eric Slingsby," goes a long way toward achieving that on its own: he seems mild-mannered and utterly harmless. In addition, he keeps his studio warm and the lighting soft and diffuse.
At present, he has Nelliel dressed in a diaphanous, silk toga-like dress that accentuates her every curve, and is having her pose as Aphrodite. ]
Ah. Ahahhaa. Let's try to get you to look a bit more… loving? Oh~!
[ It's hard to stay focussed, when everything is liable to trigger a torrent of tears. But he likes this separate persona of his; likes how he can use it to hoodwink and talk freely to the people he unnerves. People like Ishida. And Jack Seward…
…oh dear. There's another crying jag needing to be avoided. He smiles broadly. ]
Oh dear. Let's see. Goddess of love, hmm. What should we do? Do you have any ideas?
[ Because when the models VOLUNTEER to take their clothes off, that is easiest! ]
