A Beginner's Guide to Surviving Raelos

Dress to Impress (Part 1)

As the Nelsons Siblings stormed into the Dress to Impress studio, they recited why they were there and what they had to accomplish. They each wore their usual agency outfits with each of their corresponding colours.

"This is the scariest place we've ever been to!" Josiah's voice cracked.

"What?" Elijah asked, confused, "It's just a fashion show filled with pretty girls."

"Yeah! That's terrifying!" Josiah said, his voice 2 octaves higher than it should be.

Brushing past this, Shiloh explained, "We received a distress call from the manager." Turning back to her siblings, she continued, "6 contestants have gone missing."

The fashion show director then emerged from curtains covering the backrooms of the studio. She wore a fur coat over top of a black vest and white shirt. Her head was adored with expensive sunglasses. Her necklace and earring matched with bright flashy colours. Behind her follow two security guards. Enraged, she said, "How did you get in here?"

Shiloh stepped forwards, ready to explain, "Michelangelo called us."

Waving a finger, the director continued, "This is an exclusive campus. Only those-"

"We're Gigi's replacement." Elijah interrupted, handing their security pass to the director.

"Gigi's spot can only be filled by a girl." The director added. "And anyone who isn't connected with a contestant will be escorted out. After she finished waving her hands in their faces, she turned around and stormed back to where she came from.

After a beat, the gang crossed their arms in thinking positions. "Where are we gonna find a girl to compete?" Shiloh asked. Suddenly realization hits the guys and they all look with wide eyes towards her, trying to give her a clue what they were all thinking.

Looking back at them one on one, she protested, "No! I'm not entering a shallow fashion contest!"

"Well we need someone to compete!" Elijah complained.

Micah added. "What are we supposed to do? Make a robot?" They all gasped heavily out loud, turning to look at Micah. "Let's make a robot!"

After they rushed through the Arxis, they bound towards the robotics room. Once they entered, a blue room with a conveyor belt on the floor connected with many wires high up to many different robotic arms lay out before them. Many tech pieces lay scattered around the room and in huge boxes in the corners.

They had decided that it was best for Micah and Shiloh to stay behind so they could keep an eye on when the competition actually started. They had to work fast if they were going to make it back in time.

Josiah pulled an ipad off the wall that was hooked up with a wire to who knows where and immediately started to pound on different buttons. "So what are we thinking? A drop dead gorgeous model who will win the contest easily and I can take on a date afterwards?" He said looking up from the screen, hopeful. A 3d image of what Josiah had just described flickered in front of them on the unmoving conveyor belt.

Elijah took the ipad from him, "How about not. Whoever we create has to be good enough to enter into the composition but not so much pizzazz that the director and the rest of the competition know she's a robot." He tapped a few more buttons and the image disappeared.

Taking the ipad back, Josiah muttered, "Okay, okay." Elijah came up behind Josiah and looked over his shoulder. "What about her?" He asked, reaching over and tapping a robot diagram.

Another image flickered in front of them. This one was slightly less 'perfect' but still spoke of artificial glamour. Both Josiah and Judah immediately said, "No."
