( open. ) firefighter calendar mingle!
WHO: everyone!
WHAT: the firefighters put out a calendar every year and guess who is getting everyone involved.
WHERE: the venue for the photoshoot, somewhere in the city.
WHEN: within the first week of their arrival.
WARNINGS: nudity or partial nudity? will update warnings as they come.
The firefighters are looking for models to assist in their yearly calendar. Last year due to some mishaps, they missed the due date for this beloved tradition in the city, and so are not looking to really make sure everything is flawless this year. Since is no error for mistakes, they are even recruiting people to model as firefighters, as well as looking for people who can act as temporary photographers— in a city as busy as this one, it isnβt always easy booking a photographer for certain time slots.β¨
everyone is free to put up their top levels and tag around as they see fit. you can see it as you were messaged by someone randomly on the network about an opportunity to make additional kyptos, or they could have even found an ad. whatever works!

1. As a photographer they are tasked to make the calendar spicy, but also unique! They figure one of the best selling points is variety. No more poses, the more avant-garde, the weirder even, the better! Like if your thing is posing with a carton of eggs, you do you!NOTE: hi, this is the log for the firefighter calendar!
2. Models are incentivized and even ranked (this is arbitrary, so I leave that all to you), so maybe this can also lift the competitive spirit of some! Or maybe you just really want to make some extra kryptos!
3. Outside of photographers and models, also looking for people who can enhance the overall experience. Do coffee runs for everyone, while also hyping or judging the models! Whatever they say fit! People can even stumble into these roles thinking they were here for a completing different reason! Or go out on an errand to come back and suddenly everyone is not as they once were.
4. Just have fun and free to make up your own scenarios! Even if it's walking in like π§ββοΈ I thought this was a pizza party.

He can see the appeal of the calendar. Not being in one, he's too shy at the moment, but having pages of attractive men at his desk would make his day better. And there are many, many photoshoots that he's drawn to.
Although he fights the urge to watch when an Outsider is on stage.
Once Shalem finishes this shot and the crew disperses, Taryon approaches him with a double thumbs-up. ] Excellent work, good man. I think that will be well-received by the editors.
no subject
He flips his hair out of his face, careful not to smudge his make-up lest it become difficult to remove later.]
I'm sorry, I didn't know.
no subject
Oh, you need... [He reaches into his side pack and pulls out a hair tie.] I've also got cloaks in case you're cold.
no subject
[Because of course a man like him would consider a summer day pleasant. His serpentine features have been hidden away by the cloaking device forced on him when he left the base, even his ears are short and only slightly pointy. He wouldn't have recognized himself it weren't for his lavender hair persisting through the surface changes.
But underneath the illusion, Shalem is still the same sort of person. He still likes the warmth, is still cooler than his normal, and thus hot lights are a pleasant feeling on his skin.]
I did bundle up before coming out as well, and that should be enough to tide me over until I return to base.
no subject
Oh. Alright. [That eases some of his own worries. Looking good isn't worth the annoyance of being cold...not that he's reconsidering the offer to model!] I suppose being surrounded by those guys keep you warm.
[Wait.]
I mean- all of your body heat. It keeps everyone hot. Warm. Not cold.
no subject
Yes, those handsome men are definitely enough to keep someone warm, aren't they?
[He would look at some of them just for the sight, but that would be rude.]
I did model because those men asked it of me.
no subject
I suppose... [Taryon definitely would handle the cold if he were surrounded by buff, shirtless men. He drops his head and takes a deep breath before assuming a more normal position.]
How are you not distracted up there?
no subject
I was very distracted. [That's a lie.]
I just soothed myself with the thought that they're looking at me, and thus wanted to show them my best side.
no subject
You managed to hide it well, considering the situation. But it's finally over, and you can avoid those guys forever.
no subject
Shalem just has to laugh again, because he's really not annoyed by all of the attention.]
I'm not offended by them. In fact, I wouldn't want to avoid them forever. They're pretty easy on the eyes, you see, and I like to keep coming back to what I enjoy looking at.
no subject
Well, yes, I agree with that part. [But that is the root of the problem.] But I feel like...I don't want to make it weird, is all. It's not something I think I can do.
[A hand tugs at the collar of his shirt. Call him sheltered, but he's slow to strip even at a beach vacation.]
...But it does look fun.
no subject
Too dazzled by them that you forget your words?
no subject
[Shalem is an ally, and the situation is different. Taryon isn't going to pose with him.]
It's justβ talking to them in this sort of situation isn't really something I've done before.
no subject
Not to mention, he is a little lonely. Companions for conversation are always welcome.]
Well. If you'd like to speak to them normally, then just wait until their clothes are on.
no subject
That makes sense. [But they're awfully slow at putting their clothes on...] Wow. I'm learning a lot today. Maybe I'll manage those nightclubs in a week at this rate.
no subject
Oh, no. I've nothing for you when it comes to nightclubs. They're too loud, and I'm not the sort for rowdy parties on the dance floor. Stick to... Hmm.
Cafes, perhaps.
no subject
[And they have drinks other than terrible beer!]
no subject
If you can find a man who enjoys that rather than a club, then you're a step in the right direction. Compatibility is important, isn't it?
no subject
That is...the most helpful dating advice I've ever received in my life.
no subject
From me, it may come more as one-night stand advice. Then again, you can apply it any way you'd like.
no subject
no subject
[And he's so cheerful when he says so.]
Some men just don't like to listen to anything other than the blood flowing to their groin. Pressuring back where it hurts is the best answer to their pressure.
no subject
[He is a gentlemanly artificer, not a rough rogue or barbarian.]
I got enough magic to protect myself, don't you worry.
no subject
[Shalem shrugs. For him, it tends to be mutually exclusive things... And he himself doesn't have to worry about that because he tends to go for the cute ones. The softer men-- and those are usually the ones drawn to him.
Plus, he already had a reputation in Rhodes Island. Just about everyone has seen the damage he can do when he's stopped being so passive.]
It's telling them that while you'd rather not, you can put someone in their place easily, so they had better not try.
no subject
No, I don't think I will. [That sounds like something his younger sister would do. If she's going to beat up someone, better that it's a creepy stranger than her brother.] If it reaches the point where I need to use violence, then I'll manage it.
[...Somehow. He doesn't have a vial of acid or a diamond infused with a powerful spell on him anymore.]
