A diamond in the Gokai kingdom

Advice and Affection

Ira POV:

Fleur ran down the hallway with Rory floating besides her. Surprisingly it sounds like she actually made it to her room before she passed out. I heard my phone go off and looked down at it to see Sirin and Marmo blowing it up, "Should we get going then?" Rachel asked looking at my phone. I nodded and silenced my phone. With that we started to walk towards the gardens following the path to a gazebo that was already set up

"There you are, we finished setting up already." Sirin greeted pulling us towards the gazebo where Dustin and Marmo were sitting the cameras and lights placed to Sirins satisfaction. We all sat down and Sirin clapped her hands together, "Alright now that we are all here it's time to get started. What do you have for us today most magical magnificent mercenare who let's us go wild?"

Marmo chuckled, "I have some fantastic new design I was hoping you all could model for me during the upcoming Libertas Ball."

"We would love to can we see the designs?" Sirin asked and Marmo pulled out a portfolio taking out the different sketches. There were a lot of them, and it looks like most of them are from our year on Earth.

"You have been busy." Dustin said looking at the table being covered.

"It's almost like this is my job?" Marmo lightly teased with a smile as she set down the last one, "Choose your favorites." I looked over trying to find the ones that were the least stuffy. There were a few that looked actually comfortable, so I piled those ones up. I looked over to see Dustin with only two options in front of him and Sirin with a stack of over ten. Rachel on the other hand was looking at them carefully.

"Just choose which ones you like don't overthink it." I told her. She looked unsure but selected a few and Marmo put the rest of them away.

"Now you can tell me what kind of adjustments you would want to make so you are comfortable in them." Marmo smiled to herself, she always did like it when she got to dress us up. I looked at the options, which one looks the best? They all look like they would match my style, thank you Marmo for obsessing over dressing us up. I glance over at Rachel comparing some dresses looking deep in thought.

"You can adjust this slit right?" Sirin asked looking at a sketch of a dress with a slit going up almost the entire leg. Marmo nodded and Sirin placed her finger over the slit to imagine it without one she shook her head and turned to me and Marmo, "Thank you, could we skip ahead to using illusions?"

Marmo nodded and we all got out of the gazebo taking one design with us, "Do we have to do transitions?" Dustin mumbled.

"If we can yes." Sirin answered with a smile, but you could tell she was calculating based on the way her eyes narrowed ever so slightly at the edges, "Think you can manage a few more transitions with all of your work?"

"I'll find the time." Dustin said almost yawning from the mere thought of it. His sleep schedule just might be worse than mine.

"Wait how are we doing the transitions?" Rachel asked looking at the cameras that Sirin had adjusted while talking to Dustin.

"I'm going to move a camera directly in front of you, all you have to do is place the page in front of it and pull it back. The hard work is going to be on Ira and Marmo to time their illusion to you moving the page." Sirin explained she took her page turning the design to the camera and quickly brushing it past, "You can do any motion you want as long as the lens is covered for a moment then uncovered."

Rachel looked at the camera curiously then to me and Marmo, "I don't see where the transition comes in."

"Well form the gazebo to here. Then we might have to transition to each of us in a sense transforming. I guess I can try to do some fun camera angels instead of transitions, but that might be too much of a drain on Marmo and Ira."
