Destiny Calls ► Ninjago [✓]

i | Fated Introductions

The small room was empty save for two people along with different kinds of lights and reflectors.

One of said people was sitting on a stool, a teenage girl, who lightly hummed as she posed. "Hmm... how many more pictures, love?" She wore a red bikini with a silk robe, untied, of the same color to match.

"Just a few more... this'll be the final thing you try on for today. Let's get your hair flowing for the last set. I think it'll have a better effect."

The photographer behind the camera walked over to one of the ring lights and moved a pedestal fan slightly closer. She turned it on a medium setting.

The small breeze blew through the girl's long hair, allowing it to wave back a bit. She smiled, stretching one of her legs out only a little while tucking a strand of her hair behind her ear.

"Perfect." The photographer looked into the viewfinder of the camera once more. "Now drop the smile just a bit, Scarlett. People like that."

Scarlett walked through the dark streets of Ninjago City as she checked her phone. She scrolled through the photos sent to her by her photographer earlier of her in many different clothes.

Though she specifically favored the last one she tried on. "I guess red doesn't look that bad on me after all... maybe if I ask nicely they'll let me keep it."

As she cautiously returned to the back of her apartment, she took notice of the little moped she owned. When she shook it slightly, it rattled; parts of it were loose.

Scarlett sighed. "Well I obviously can't use this to buy new parts now... and the villages are so far."

In the monastery, Nya wiped a bit of sweat from her forehead as she tightened a screw on her apparatus. Well, one of the screws.

"Okay, this has to work."

She stood up and took a few steps back, waiting a few seconds. However, after about ten, the machine broke down and a loud groan left her.

"I'm going to kill somebody. Why the fuck isn't this working?"

Her brother—a ninja in red—who had been walking down the hall, stopped in front of her closed door when hearing the sound of frustration.

"Nya? The hell are you doing?"

She practically jumped, quickly hiding every piece of machinery in her room as fast as she could. Of course, that caused more unwanted noise, which only confused him more.

Kai stepped closer as if trying to hear what exactly was going on in there. The sound of clanking and things being thrown around started to worry him, especially since he couldn't see any of it. "Are you good?"

"As good as I can be!" she blurted. Nya rushed to lean on the wall as she finally opened the door only slightly. Almost nothing in her room was in his sight. "Fantastic. Wonderful. Splendid."

He gave her a strange stare like she was nuts. "Uh-huh... weirdo. You sounded like you were building a tower in there. That, throwing a tantrum, or both."
