Super Models

[mari_mccabe]

Mari Jiwe McCabe stared up at the home of her new modeling agency - McCabe Models. It was one of many buildings on Fifth Avenue, but this one…it had something special about it. She could feel it. It’s glass and stone façade, it’s old-world glamour. The grotesques on either side of the steps that recalled foxes.

Yes. I was meant to find you.

"You can't be getting stage fright on me now!" Beatriz begged her best friend. "I promised Mari an introduction and you know that you're a better model than I am! Mari's going to take one look at you and hand you a contract. That's all there is to it."

"Bea..." She's almost literally dragging her feet, nervously twisting her hands together and biting at her lip.

"Are you sure? I mean, you're prettier than I am. And don't you dare say that you aren't."

"What do you have to lose?" Bea asks. "The worst thing that can happen is you can say you met the Mari McCabe. There are women who would give up their Gucci for a chance like this."

"OK, if you think it'll go well. I trust you, Bea." Tora clasps her friend's hand and smiles at her as they walk up to the front door leading into a spacious lobby.

She looks up, catching the light reflecting off of high windows.

There is another woman who enters the lobby of the building some time after Fire and Ice do. She's wearing something that would have, at one point, been recognized as a signature look. /Her/ signature look. The elfin woman is in a white minidress, with leather gogo boots that reach over her knee. There are oversized glasses covering her eyes as well as a very long knit cardigan that is longer than the dress.

There are hints and traces of green in the accessories, thin lines of it weaving through the clothes as well.

Mari heard the door close and looked up.

"Excuse me a moment." She smiled warmly at Tora and Bea and strode out into the lobby to see..."Arisia." Mari grins. "I'm glad you made it."

"Of course, Mari. How could I resist such an elegant invitation?" Arisia chuckles softly as she offers a hand toward the other woman as she approaches.

"I don't know if it was elegant as much as it was slightly desperate," she admits with a wry grin, taking Arisia's hand. She shakes it gently, noting the threads. "I'm loving the outfit," she says after a moment. "And that's part of the reason I wanted to talk to you." She motions towards the room behind her. "Why don't you follow me in here. Fire and Ice of the Justice League are in there right now. Would you care for something to drink?"
