- Ford Benett (187) has posed:
Ford stepped out of his chauffered limo with his show's director as the headed into the steakhouse restaurant hosting the lavish casting party for his show's most recent episode. Cameras and film crews continued to call for Ford's attention and answers to questions, to which the superstar generously gave a few glamour shots and a few short answers to simple questions. Mostly yes or no answers. He was starving quite frankly, and couldn't wait to get inside. The party was a chance to also get the interest of a few investors for another set of episodes. Possibly a short web series. Ford had always wanted to do a few comedic shorts for the BluTube fans.
Stepping inside away from the cameras, Ford's director immediately got caught up in a conversation, leaving the actor to entertain himself inside. Of course, his mind was chiefly on one thing... well, two, actually, but the hunger was more important to him right now. He could flirt in a moment. Heading to the small buffet table they had laid out, Ford grabbed himself a plate and started to pile on food that caught his fancy. Mostly steak.
- Gypsy Moth has posed:
Sybil was not really invited to the party, but she is both wealthy enough and well known enough to some of those there that she was able to get in anyway. She is, of course, provocatively dressed. She has an excellent figure and in certain circles is well known for her hedonism. She is mainly here looking for fun, but if someone mentions an investment to her that sounds like it might make a good return, she will certainly listen.
- Ford Benett (187) has posed:
Ford finished securing a good amount of food on his plate and turned to be met with... the sight of a /very/ lovely lady! He was sure he'd met her somewhere before... no, he'd seen her. Wasn't she... oh, what was his name? He'd seen him a couple times, mostly at parties with his parents. Jason Reed! That was it! Though she never took the surname, if he recalled right. Always rumors about her being dangerous. Even a few nasty ones saying she caused his death.
At least he died a happy man, with a gal like that on his arm!
Taking a quick bite of steak, Ford swallowed it before cleaning himself up a bit and approaching her. First rule of flirting: never show fear! "Forgive me for sounding cliche, but, have we met before? Probably something relating to old Jason Reed? Probably a casting party? I think I recall seeing those curves before~..."
- Gypsy Moth has posed:
Sybil smiles at the man who addresses her...she is moderating her food intake and eating slowly and delicately. She says, "Dear old Jason. He as very Jealous of me, he kept me hidden at home most of the time we were together. Of course, I was only just learning English back then. We did get out a bit more after we married...but it was such a short time after that which he died." Sybil looks down at her plate with a sad...somewgat nostalgic...smile.
- Ford Benett (187) has posed:
"I don't blame him. I imagine he had to carry a bat to keep the competition off of you." Ford replied, taking a less elegant bite of his own steak, though not piggish. He had manners, naturally. "Sybil, right? Name's Ford Benett... but you probably knew that already." He offered a handshake and an award-winning smile. "You've improved considerably, if you were just learning back then. So, what brings you to the party? Didn't think you had a stake in my TV show." He leaned a tad closer, smirking wider. "Or were you hoping to try out for a part in the show? No clue where the writers are hoping to take things, but I've been pushing for a web series of some kind. Wouldn't mind a leading lady to work alongside~"
- Gypsy Moth has posed:
Sybil says, "Oh, word gets around that people might be looking for investors. I was left a fair fortune, but money needs to be invested to grow. I have no training as an actress...though I have a few odd talents I picked up living in the caravan with my Gypsy parents. Did I hear that you got your start in the special effect department?"
- Ford Benett (187) has posed:
Ford smirked as she mentioned hearing about investors. "Yeah, they're always pushing for more funding. Not like we need it, but... I know they like to skim a bit off the top. I just take my cut - which is a pretty damn good cut, mind you - and enjoy the spotlight. But they're pushing for really recognizable locales in the next season, so I imagine that'll run the bill up."
He took another bite of steak, holding up a finger as he chewed before finishing. "And hey, with looks like yours, I think the fans will forgive ya if you 'lack the talent'. Of course, if you'd like to give me a personal demonstration of some of those talents later~..." He lifted his brows a bit at her question about his history and getting started. "A little bit. I was always more into the acting side of things, but I started doing stunts for other actors. Wasn't until I hit my role with 'Morale' that I got my shot at being the star. Turns out, studios love an actor who can reliably do his own stunts. Saves 'em money. I just like the thrill."
- Gypsy Moth has posed:
"So you started as a stunt man," Sybil says with a flirtatious smile, "I would imagine you know all about performing in any number of positions. I also have a fondness for thrills...perhaps I will arrange that demonstration. Should you ever shoot in Romania, I know a number of places there that are picturesque both visually and in history."
