Speedforce Productions, Scene 1, Take 1
Steven has been counting the days. The paperwork is filed, listing himself as the primary owner of Speedforce Productions, Ltd., with Annie, Jai, Iris, Tess and Cindy as partners. They have the space rented for each of the shoots - this one on a private beach. Everyone among the superheroine crowd that was willing to sign an NDA was invited with an RSVP request so they knew how many swimsuits to design.

Pippi has her own space to handle hair, wardrobe and makeup for the models, with Harry along to help coordinate getting everyone in to see her as adjustments were needed. Jai has the task of helping with setup, extra cameras, following Jo Kent around to shoot interviews while Steven handles the main coordination, and whatever else needs gophering. Jo is their reporter, there to conduct interviews with the models about their neighborhoods, causes important to them, and whatever else they want to discuss to help introduce themselves to the greater universe who often doesn't get to interact with super heroes.

Aside from the main area of beach, there,s a large bin full of beach balls. Tons and tons of beach balls, all of them two or three-colored in the colors of the various super heroines who confirmed they'd be here.

"Alright, when people are ready... I know we had one organizational meeting. But I thought I'd use this opportunity to thank everyone for coming. We're going to do the biggest and most complicated shoot first, and start working out details of the others. We have tentative volunteers, but some of the schedules are still open, and we're very open to shooting in pairs.

Other than the shoot here, consider this a day on the beach, courtesy of Speedforce Productions. After the shoot, we'll bring down food and drinks... there's plenty of water over by Pippi's station in the meanwhile."

"Harry? Deep breath hon." She gives him an encouraging smile.

"I volunteered for this. It's all for a good cause. I dressed like this 'cause these are easy to change out of it my hair is done up way different than I'm used to. I had no idea this was yer new job or I would have prepared you..... Honest!"

She beams at Pippi. "Thanks. It's my natural coloring now. I just let nature take it's course with my hair. Still try takin' care of my skin. Just don't do make up since well.... Green skin."

"Oh, no, no. That's ok! they told me you had green skin and that lovely hair. So I got makeup to compliment your shade. We're going to bring out the green highlights, add a touch of silver here and there, and some black lines to help your lips and brows stand out better, give you some definition. We also have a bikini made in your costume's colors. Harry can show you where it is. If it doesn't fit, I'll make adjustments."

He does take a deep breath. And another. Just to calm himself.

After nodding, he did know this was a good cause, he'd read all the papers needed, but he hadn't realized she'd be in it. Oh, manners!

"P-pippi, this is Je-Jess. She's..." And before he can finish that sentence it dawns on him, with Pippi's mention of the bikini as the catalyst, what her being here means. Jess in beach bikini shoots.

He's certainly just dropped talking in favour of turning an interesting shade of red.

"I'm his girlfriend," Jess supplies giving Harry a soft smile.

"That sounds great." She really wouldn't have thought of that. "When should I try it on? Before we do the make up and hair or after?"

Pippi glances between them. Well, that's a weird introduction. Girlfriends are usually for people who like girls, or maybe they pretend really well so he doesn't have to tell his family. She understands that happens sometimes.

"Get changed first, or getting your clothes off and the bikini on will just muss your hair again."

Luckily Pippi didn't voice that and spared Harry from being more embarrassed and turning a dangerous shade of confused, flustered red. They could probably name shades of red after how embarrassed he got.

"Yes." The mental images Pippi was putting in his head were no help right now.

Oh...right, helping her find her bikini. Well...at least it wasn't green? That was no help. Harry rubbed his face with his hands and could feel the heat radiating off himself still. Another deep breath and he looked up, still blushing. "W-we've got all the...outfits... over there. I can-I...I'll go find it!" And off he hurried to go find the right one. Which he did shortly only to blush more at realizing it was a lot smaller than he thought. He hurriedly handed it off to Jess, looking away while still staying that interesting shade.

"Huh. They got my normal size right," Jess comments as she turns it over once. Then she wanders off to go change.

She may have filled out a little more in the bust because she's been eating a little more frequently with the team.

And Cindy buys really awesome food. She wanders out adjusting a sting on one hip. The bottom fits just fine. "It feels a little tight around my bust. What do you think?"

Pippi moves over to assess and adjust, untying strings briefly and retying, double checking measurements.

"We got everyone's measurements ahead of time, but there's always a little variation." she replies, as she's making sure the cups will fit properly in place.

"That's as loose as its going to get. If you want to hand the top to me I can make some alterations though."

Harry's just going to...very much look off to the side and away from all this. Yep. Blushing this much couldn't be good for you. Just...look away, breath and...keep looking away.

"You can look if you want Harry."

Oh she smirks. Smirks like the cat who got the cream as she passes the top over to Pippi.

Jo starts to stride over. "Pippi, right? I was hoping to get a word..."

She blinks, blushing. "...Good thing camera's not rolling yet."

Pippi nods to Jo. "I know! Her hair is still a mess!" She agrees emphatically. "Come grab a seat, Jo. If you want some water, its right there."

"Well I did fly here... And I do know to condition my hair so it's not a dried out mess." She takes a seat so she can cover up with her gym bag.

"Anything I need to do?"

Harry is still not looking, though he can hear that smile, until he hears someone walk in and he turns back to see who it was only to turn before the gym bag got there and catch...

Aaaaaaand....brain stall moment.

Turning was a bad idea. Bad idea. Bad idea.

It felt like his head was going to explode or overheat from all the blood rushing to it because of all this blushing.

Excuse him, Harry is going to bolt over to get the new girl a bottle of water just so he has something to focus on and not...yeah.

And Jo will sit down and accept that water with thanks.

"Well, don't worry, we won't focus on... anyone whose hair isn't ready, but is it okay if we get a few questions with you recorded?

"Of course! I didn't know I'd be included in the interviews, but that's fine. I can do this and talk at the same time!" she replies, while working at the seams of Jess' bikini top.

"Harry, could you get me some of the matching fabric out of that box? And the darker thread. Oh, and double layer it or her nipples will be obvious on camera through the suit."'

A glance to Jess. "Just sit there and relax. I'll have this fixed up shortly, and we'll start on your makeup. You don't sunburn or anything, do you? Cause we have some good sunscreen if so."

There's barely a blur just before Pippi speaks as Jai appears with the camera to hear her agreement. "Awesome and-" He opens his mouth to say something but...between the topless green girl (covered up a bit at least), the guy with an unnatural (who knew that shade was possible?) red to him, and the hairdresser so completely nonchalant about all this...there wasn't much to say. Until he realized that with the way the camera was off his shoulder it was aimed directly at Jess's...assets. It wasn't recording but...

"Oh! Sorry!" He quickly adjusted the camera, pointed it at Pippi and Jo, giving the latter a slightly confused thumbs up. "So, action whenever then."

"Pippi Peppers is handling wardrobe, hair, and makeup for the project," Jo says. Her voice is warm and her cheeks aren't visibly so. She'll call this a win. "Pippi, do you have any particular opinions on working with superheroines in this capacity?"

Pippi accepts any fabric found - not too hard, since there's spare material and thread neatly laid out in separate boxes with each model's name on it to make sure its easy to find the right stuff. Even so, she has to check it very carefully to make sure she was supplied with an exact match. Otherwise, knowing Pippi, Jess might end up topless until there's a couple runs to the fabric store to get the right thing.

As soon as she has the right length of thread... well, there's a handy gym bag in reach to store things in! Even if it looks like she's rummaging around in Jess' 'top', in case this weren't awkward enough for the poor boys.

She faces the camera while doing the actual adjusting and sewing.

"I've loved everyone I've worked with so far. They're all so nice, and friendly and beautiful."

To avoid blushing or faltering, Jo asks herself 'What would Mom do?'

Unfortunately, 'have to hold back a few remarks' is included in that, but she manages. Just a few more fun questions to flesh out the general interviews. "Any thoughts on which crimefighting costume color schemes are the most well-suited?"

Pippi continues her deft work while she talks.

"Oh, it really just depends on purpose. Because Huntress' costume does really well portraying urban chic, Avia's costume has so many classic showmanship elements, and Annie Dibney's really suits her complexion and hair color - nicely matched. I'd love to do some more consulting work, maybe help out with some general design elements..." she pauses, reaching back into the bag. More rooting, and growing more perplexed.

Finally, she pulls the bag away from Jess and shoves it at Harry.

"I lost my spool of thread in there somewhere. Can you find it please."

Jess very carefully folds her arms to try and keep it decent. She doesn't want to make it too uncomfortable for everyone.

Too bad for Harry. The spool rolled under Jess's bra that is sitting up top of the rest of her clothing in the bag. This is just one big embarrassing whoops for him to be involved in.

Harry's there for the bag, and is truly beet red as the lack of gym bag exposes Jess and he very very quickly looks off to the side, and just nods in response to Pippi. Keep looking to the side, breath, look for the thread, look for the thread, do not look towards Jess. Nope.

Thread thread thread. He could do that. He probably couldn't get words out right now, but he could get thread.

Oh...bra on top. Harry very carefully lifts it up and grabs the thread to hand to Pippi, still blushing and trying to look anywhere but Jess and the bra in his hand. He's just going to let that down and back in the bag before returning it all to Jess with a mouthed 'Sorry' as he looked off to some less embarrassing point in the area. Not that Jess wasn't very pretty just that...okay he was just going to go find something to distract himself now.

Embarrassing whoops was an understatement for this experience.

"Oh, everyone here is very excited. Just look at people, you can tell." Pippi answers cheerily.
