Crimson Wolf has posed:
It's a big shoot, on one of the many floors of the Empire State Building. An art gallery this time that had cameras setup both by the windows and the art pieces themselves to give all kinds of interesting locations. And the gallery picked happens to have a wide, open view on art itself. Everything from sculptures to paintings that could be fitted in. The shoot was rather simple. Just a lot of posing, different outfits, and a pair of rooms have been set aside for dressing areas.

That there was multiple shoots going on, however, was the major problem. And sometimes there was a disagreement between photographers as to who had what setup at the time.

In a word, it was a bit of chaos. Fortunately they had a small snack area on the side for when it devolved into such chaos that someone was waiting for their moment to pose or the like.

One such individual was someone who was probably not a model. Arthur King was there because of an article being done on him and some contributions to the gallery. Mostly pieces from his second home of Japan here and there. Old items that he had donated or were brought over to show some cultural significance. Along with some American pieces and others around.

As it was, the half-English, half-Japanese 18 year old was standing off to the side waiting in a casual looking white short sleeve shirt, slacks, dress shoes, and looking just out of place among the models and others about.

Starfire has posed:
It's a funny bit about standing out; even though she's one of the models, Kori tends to stand out. Not many girls who are 6ft 3 and have green or green eyes and organs, skin, or flaming hair.. then again, the whole not human thing tends to stand out quite a bit.

     She walks over to the snack foods and grabs some bread items and, pours mustard over it and adds some peper.. not a mix most would eat and takes a big bite with relish!

     She just did her set, so she's wearing a tiny jacket and a cap along with a very tiny bikini, showing off her powerful, muscled form.

Crimson Wolf has posed:
At the same time, Arthur happens to be there. And he can't help but stare a little at the mustard and pepper topping to the bread items.

"Ah, excuse me, could you pass the pepper?" He asks.

He was putting together a small sandwich from the looks. One of the finger bite sized ones. Just a touch on the dry.

"Would you happen to be Starfire from the Titans?" He almost blurts out, a slight coloring to his cheeks due to obviously outfits among other things.

Starfire has posed:
Koriand'r She licks her plump lips and looks over towards Arthur. You swear those green or green eyes are glowing as she looks at you with those long lashes of hers. " Oh yes, I am she ".

m She beams a big genuine smile before she holds out the pepper for you to grab . She seems to not mind or perhaps not care about the looking at her.. Then again, tamer eans don't have the same hangups about clothes as humans do. She beams, " Doing my shake my booty thang as my friend Gar says to earn food for Silkie."

Crimson Wolf has posed:
The pepper is accepted and Arthur smiles.

"I can see that." Arthur replies.

"Ah, my apologies. My name is Arthur King. I donated a few items and well... they insisted on a few shoots." He gives a small shrug as he adds some pepper to the sandwich.

"Honestly, I am not used to these even if I have them in my future supposedly." He turns to look at the chaos as he munches on the sandwich, and is so obviously trying to not look at Koriand'r herself.

Starfire has posed:
Koriand'r She shrugs her shoulders. The advantage of being so tall is it's easy to reach over the table to grab stuff.. that and she can also float, which she does to move over to grab something else for her nibbles! Also she can eat like a ton and never gain anything!

     She taps her chin " I did not fit into this world very well, till i found friends who told me to do things I don't like every once and a while to help me get used to it.. " she smiles " it works after a while it's not as bad " She pauses a moment "Then again it can be like raven wearing pink.. some things are just bad " .

Crimson Wolf has posed:
"Oh?"

The flying has him blinking a few times. "Wise friends."

Arthur has to think for a moment, then makes a face. "That would definitely be bad."

"What is Silkie, if you do not mind my asking?"

Starfire has posed:
Koriand'r she blinks and quickly floats right over towards you. " Oh, they are the cutest thing ever... They stay with me. Gar said it's called a pet here.. so Silkie is my pet. " She beams as she takes out her phone to show off a picture!

Crimson Wolf has posed:
The picture has Arthur blinking a few times. "Um... where did it come from? It looks... like some sort of caterpillar from this planet?"

To his credit, Arthur is at least not weirded out. The sight of it has him at least looking curious about it.

It's not every day one gets shown what looks like a giant caterpillar pretty much!

"I travel too much to have pets, unfortunately. I do know a few that have some." He says, looking a bit sad at that one. "Mostly because of plane rules for them."

Starfire has posed:
Koriand'r Grins " Oh they are a mutant murder moths that were used to take over the world.. but my Silkie won't do that now. They love me, and we freed them, " she beams

     She grins " Thanks to my friend i have access to a teleporter so I'm okay.. or I can use my space ship " She beams "But it's good you donated old things.. to keep ones culture is very important because it's very easy to have it taken or lost " .

Crimson Wolf has posed:
Arthur nods, "I see. So not unlike a tiger or other dangerous predator."

The idea of a teleporter has Arthur looking at her more directly. "A teleporter? Neat. And yes... well, it is just some old relics from Japan. Things that would go into a dusty attic somewhere back there if left alone, and um... no one needed them. I think that cousin's words were 'teaching others about our history' or something like that?"

He blushes a bit.

Starfire has posed:
Koriand'r Grins brightly and nods as she stretches a bit and looks over she's pretty sure they are done with her but she looks just to be sure.. also free food so she can't complain she's already on her 20'th plate of food. She floats and crosses her legs like she's sitting to munch.

     " Sharing culture is how you grow.. my parents would tell me to interact with other races and learning thier culture makes your own richer " .

Crimson Wolf has posed:
Arthur nods, "My grandfather always said it was best to understand one's opponent rather than trying to force them to understand you."

A small smile comes to Arthur as he finishes his sandwich. "So how long are we supposed to wait around? I swear they are arguing more than trying to take pictures."

He looks over, then at Koriand'r, "If they start swinging, do we place bets or try to stop it?"

Starfire has posed:
Koriand'r thinks a moment " I can stop it " She says simply and grins " I already did my pictures so I don't mind are you waiitng for them? " She asks curious she is willing to help after all " They had me wear all those outfits before so now it would only be for something else or if they are inspired " she shrugs

Crimson Wolf has posed:
Arthur sighs, "Waiting, unfortunately."

He makes a slightly annoyed look, "Days like this I wish I knew a vulcan nerve pinch or something, not that I mind the company. I just prefer the wind in my hair and travelling around, really. Business and stuff? Not really my um... skills usually."

Starfire has posed:
Koriand'r Thinks and then she points and BOOM she fires off a star blast that fires out the window .. of course it makes everybody stop dead and stare at her in fright.. " Some of us need to be places.. so could we hurrt please.. " She Grins " I need to go save people after all " She give sa sweet smile but it's clearly had an effect.

Crimson Wolf has posed:
That has Arthur jumping a bit.

He looks at her, backs away a step, then looks around at the others that are models.

The good news? She definitely got everything back to order.

And soon someone is coming up to Arthur motioning that they are ready for him.

Arthur gives a smile towards Koriand'r. "Thank you." Then he's dragged away.

Of course, now someone has some ideas and one of the photographers comes over, "Ms. Koriand'r, would you like to get some photos with Mr. King? You can take your pick of the outfits and poses. We think it might help promote for the gallery and his donations."

Starfire has posed:
Koriand'r Smirks as she licks her lips " Sure " She beams brightly as she follows along she dosn't mind.. she never cares what outfit they ask her for.. she keeps getting yelled at though becuase she always starts stripping ot wear what they give her right thier .. she never bothers to move ot the dressing room

Crimson Wolf has posed:
The photographer nods, then motions her over after a couple of shots.

Arthur is obviously no professional model, simply moving the way they want him to so they get whatever they consider his good side. His last one is just him standing there with his hands behind his back before they add Koriand'r in.

He just blinks at that one, then shrugs and looks to her to see what positions. And he's definitely trying to not even remotely blush on camera.

Starfire has posed:
Koriand'r beams a smile she clearly knows what she's doing putting herself this wy and that.. but all of them to help you look better.. to make you look hot using her height and alein nature to help out..giving that super hot girl can't take her eyes off you kind of vibe

Crimson Wolf has posed:
Keep her eyes off of him? It's hard for Arthur to keep looking at the camera from time to time during the shoot. By the time they are done, Arthur has somehow maintained his composure.

Somehow being the key word.

It's not until they say that they are done when Arthur finally loses it and he turns more than a bit red from embarassment.

"Um... th-thank you." He says.

Starfire has posed:
Koriand'r Grins as she stands back up and chuckles " Welcome.. just doing what they told me.. hope it was not too hard for you " She beams brightly as she walks towards the clothing rack to get back into the skimpy outfit.. she absorbs solar sun so she likes to have lots of skin most of the time

Crimson Wolf has posed:
Arthur smiles back, then starts to head off to get back in his own outfit. By the time she sees him again, he's headed for the door and getting ready to head for the elevator. The slacks have been traded for some jeans, he has a brown leather jacket, and a pair of sunglasses hanging from them. He's also looking at his phone as he goes.
