Shoot the Kittens

Alexithymiaa: -Steph was sitting in the corner out of the way on the lounger completely dressed and all made up in her war paint and whatnot while the other girls sat with mirrors and compacts touching up lipstick and checking their hair before they started shooting. She had her crutch leaning against the wall next to her because she had insisted on wearing platform heels if they were doing band photos for the album and there was no way she'd be able to take steps in those boots without the crutch. She was sort of just looking around and taking in the bustling of the shoot. // Kristen was standing on the opposite side of the room in front of the full length mirror, toying with her multicolored dreads until she had them the way she liked them. "How much time do we have before we start? Do I have time for a cigarette real quick?"-
Covet: Felix had been working with the assistant the he'd been able to get. Though he was doing most of the work himself, but he guess the assistant was kind of nice to have. Hearing Kristen, Felix looked up from his Camera and then looked at the other girls still getting themselves ready. "Yeah, you've got 5 minutes. Make it count." He told her, then looked at the assistant. "Can you make sure the lights are to the right flash setting then we'll be just about ready for what we need done." He told the, short haired chick who reminded him of a mouse. She went about doing that, while Felix walked over to Steph, "So you know you can't have the crutch in the shot...right?"
Alexithymiaa: -She looked up from her phone to peer up at Felix when he walked over to her, nodding her head. "I know. I figured once I was stationary, someone would just toss it out of the shot. It's not that big of a deal." She said with a shrug. "Unless you want us to like... jump or kick or do leg things...?" She half asked him. // Kristen nodded, grabbing her cigarettes and running out the door in her fucking studded underwear and mesh shirt. These bitches. // Gabby walked over to there Steph and Felix were, leaning down to stow her lipstick in her bag under the lounger. "Yeah, so what do you want us to do?"-
Covet: "If I do, I'll have the girls help pick you up for it, and make it look fitting accordingly." He told her with a smile. "Basically you guys just have to look like your bad ass selves. We'll get some good angry face shots and tough looking shots. Think of the female modern versions of Kiss or Twisted Sister." Felix told Gabby. "I'll have Bianca {sure... that will be her name} Keep track of your crutch so if you need it, she'll be close by.
Alexithymiaa: "I guess that works." She said as she leaned down to drop her phone into her bag. Her eyes set on Bianca fiddling with the lights. "Is that working out so far?" // Gabby smirked before sticking her tongue out and biting down on it with her nose wrinkled, channeling her inner Gene Simmons. "We got this." She said, flashing the rock and roll hand before turning to clunk away in her thick combat boots.-
Covet: "I've thought about all of this, don't worry your pretty little head, Red." He told her patting her lightly before leaning in to give her a kiss on the cheek, avoiding as much make up as possible, so he didn't smudge it. Looking over at Bianca, he gave a shrug, "She's alright, kind of quiet... squeaky. But she knows what she's doing, for the most part... so that's good. She can't even really mess the lights up since I have them pre-programed for what I need on my laptop over there." He said pointing to where it was set at across the room. "One sec, Red. Hey Bianca can you go get Kristen and tell her to put her cancer stick away and get in here so we can get this going?" He told the assistant who went out to go get Kristen.
Alexithymiaa: "Did you let her actually do anything?" She asked with a laugh as she watched Bianca run out the door to fetch Kristen. She raised her brows, turning a bit further to look at him. "Cancer stick? Really? Someones come a long way." // Katie walked across the room drumming her fingers on the leg of her leather pants before turning to walk back again. "If that girl would just quit, we wouldn't always be waiting on her." // Ashley pushed up from the bean bag chair in her insanely short skirt and black tube top, patting Katie gently. "Ease up spitfire. It's been like a minute."-
Covet: "Yeah, She got the lights adjusted for me while I took the background test shots." Felix said, with a slight defensive tone to his voice. Then he looked at her narrowing her gaze. "If I think about them negatively, I won't like them..." He said then looked at Katie, "Force it on her, that's how I was able to quit." he said with a laugh then got up off the couch and offered a hand to Steph to help her to her feet.
Alexithymiaa: "You shouldn't like them anyway..." She shot back, putting her hand in his and climbing to her feet. She reached for her crutch, situating it under her right arm. "Oh shut up, I didn't force you. I guilted and blackmailed you. Very different things." She said with a smirk, starting to limp forward onto the backdrop. // Kristen came in with Bianca in a flurry, coughing a bit and tossing her pack of cigarettes to the side. "I'm here, I'm ready." // "I'm trying..." Katie said through gritted teeth to Felix before walking over to Steph. "Yeah see I don't think that works as well if she's not interested in fucking me."-
Covet: "I had a long relationship with cigarettes, missy. Don't you judge me." He told her then scoffed, "I'm pretty sure Guilt and Blackmail, can totally be counted as force. If you got a strap on she might be interested, Katie." He said with an amused look, just being an ass. He could smell the cigarette smoke as Kristen came in, and it made his fingers itch. He reached into his pocket and pulled out a minty toothpic, sticking it in his mouth to keep his mind off the cigarettes. "Okay, all of you... to this area." He said pointing to the center of the backdrop. "You look badass... so I want to see Badass. Make it seem as cheesy as you want, because it will totally look legit on film, depsite how weird it feels to do. Bianca, can you hold onto Steph's crutch for her." He told her as he got his camera and held onto it in his hands.
Alexithymiaa: "It's a choiceeee." She said in a sing songy voice, handing the crutch to Bianca and turning to face the camera he had set up. She waited for the girls to join her on either side, swinging her arm around Katie's neck in a lazy way, but also sort of discreetly for support. She curled her lip like she was pissed and looking for a fight, tipping her chin down. // Katie wrapped her arm around Steph's waist, putting her other hand on her hip and biting down on her lower lip. // Gabby stuck her tongue out, stretching her hand out in front of her toward the camera. Depth, yo. // Ashley ran her tongue over her lips and just sort of casually draped her arms over her head. // Kristen angrily raised her brows, putting her hands behind her back to support herself and pose.-
Covet: "Yeah yeah..." Felix grumbled then watched the girls as they posed. " Good, keep doing that, Ashley you're doing sultry, I need badass. This isn't Victoria Secret, you're a grunge rock band." He told her, as he kept snapping. "Just do whatever feels natural but looks bad ass. Like.. you're the girls, other girls wish they could be... or the girls that are feared because you kick ass." He said kind of rambling on.
Alexithymiaa: -She listened to Felix's words and kind of just moved as best as she could without teetering over. Curling her free hand into a fist, she snarled at the camera, leaning forward just a bit. // Ashley rolled her eyes, dropping her arms. "Maybe it's better to be loved than feared." She shot back before flashing crazy eyes at the camera, her hands moving to grip her hair.-
Covet: "They can love you as normal you. They should be a little scared of you when you're dressed like a bunch of feral alley cats." He told her with a laugh. "There you go.. that's better." He said. "Okay... can you guys switch it up a bit, give me some more verticle levels?" He asked them. Stepping back to his laptop to see what frame they were on. Not like he wasn't sending them all off anyways.
Alexithymiaa: -She dropped her arms to her sides and relaxed her face, trying to loosen up a bit, but these shoes were not helping the leg situation right now. "Vertical like.... how?" She said as she winced, trying to adjust without actually standing on her right leg. // "Like get down?" Kristen asked, instantly dropping to her knees and flipping her hair, sending a flurry of rainbow dreads in every direction.-
Covet: "Yeah, exactly, but Not you Steph. You can just stand there, with your arms crossed, and if the rest of you want to kind of do a half circle thing around her, just making sure she's the tallest.. I know that's hard, given how short she is, but it's only for a couple of shots." He said to them.
Alexithymiaa: "So I get to be the odd one out?" She asked, sort of just standing there as the girls started to circle around her, crouching, kneeling, and sitting in staggered heights. She crossed her arms over her chest, tipping her head to the side and just looking like she has an attitude. // Katie sat down on her butt directly in front of Steph, circling her arm around her propped up kne.-
Covet: "Yeah, just kind of a feature for the lead singer kind of thing. The label might use it, they might not. But I figured I'd give them a variety of things to choose from." Felix said snapping a few more shots. "Alright. I think we're good. Bianca, can you get Steph her crutch please. Then you guys can come over and take a look at what I got and tell me what you think." He said. [I assume he did individual pictures at some point..maybe earlier?]
Alexithymiaa: (Yeah probably)
Alexithymiaa: -She put her hand out to take the crutch from Bianca, situating it under her arm and limping over toward where Felix had his laptop set up. "I think there's paint on my glasses.." She said, pulling them off her face to wipe at the black smudge before sticking them back on. "How many shots did you take?" // The girls followed over to huddle around the computer, everyone beginning to remove their ears because they were metal and that shit starts to dig in. "These look wicked. And here I thought we looked like a bunch of assholes." Gabby said with a laugh.-
Covet: "I can edit the smudge out. You can't even really notice it." He told her with a smile, putting an arm around Steph to give her something other than her crutch to lean on. "I've got thirty or so shots, plus the individual shots." He told them and he smiled, happy that they were pleased with it.
Alexithymiaa: "We are a bunch of assholes." She said to Gabby, leaning against Felix and happy to relieve her arm a bit. "I really just meant I was going to trip over something. Leave it in the shots if you can see it. It looks that much more grungy." She said before looking down at his computer. "They look great. I'm so glad we get to utilize your amazing talent." She said before kissing his cheek. And smudging dark red lipstick and black paint on his skin. // "You should email me copies of these. I want to show Josh." Kristen said, a little giddy. // Katie rolled her eyes. "You need to stop hoping he's going to care about anything you do other than be naked. He's using you for your ass and I know you know that."-
Covet: "Thanks for sharing your make up. You're lucky I tollerate Red for being a darker shade of pink, which compliments my face way more." He told Steph, with a laugh, then nodded, "Yeah I can send them out to you guys. I'll burn them to a disc for each of you too so you can show the families and stuff." He said then cringed a little as Katie got after Kristen, making a mental note to Ask about that later. "Now ladies...We have shit to do this weekend... so.. everyone... wrap up here.. so we can go home and get ready for NYC this weekend."
Covet: [Felix stop it you're not the manager. ]
Alexithymiaa: (Steph will let him pretend he is because he's cute. -pats-)
Covet: [XD]
Alexithymiaa: "You tolerate Red in so many more ways than you intended to." She said with a beaming grin, giving his ass a very discreet little pinch before walking away to go sit down again. She needed to get her shoes off and put pants on before she walked out of here. // "Would you shut up? He could care. Afterall, I'm half naked in these pictures so by your theory, he might." Kristen stuck her tongue out at Katie, turning to grab her things also. // Gabby just shook her head, whispering under her breath. "You're a booty call..." And then proceeded to pack up.-
Covet: Felix started to get things packed back up with Bianca's help. He'd let her help do the not fun parts. Once he was all set up and had his laptop and camera equipment all in it's place. He did a double take around the studio room to make sure they didn't leave a mess or anything before they left.
