[Mingle]

[randomly_modding]

[So you're in the studio and the camera crew has instructed your characters to break into your teams to discuss 1) the client's personal fashion comfort zone and preferences, and 2) how to give them the Stylecation makeover they obviously need, while 3) working in the episode theme of "animal".]

[Or that's what you're supposed to be talking about, to obey the host.]

[Please don't mind the cameras focused on you at all times, even following you to the snack table to grab coffee and danishes and donuts. But feel free to crash one of the other team mingles!]

[Allen has had pastries before. frequently, in fact. and in great quantity. but he's been so hungry lately you don't even know. so he is in the middle of inhaling the offerings himself when his hand bumps into hers, and he straightens, with a sheepish smile for her]

I think we're going to need more food. [turning over his shoulder to one of the hovering crew; expectantly] Can we get more food?

[ Lucina waits patiently for him to make his request before piping up. ]

Good day, Allen. I trust you are well?

I'm well now that we're someplace where there's food readily available. [a sigh] Even if I've no idea where that place might be, it's not a deserted island impossible to escape from... which is a sight better, if you ask me.

[another donut vanishes]

[ Fascinating. She wonders who would win in an eating contest, Allen or Stahl. ]

I agree. It's our new task that has me on edge.

[ A cameraman is hovering a few feet away. Lucina gives him a polite nod and then immediately looks away, nearly cowed, when he tells her to ignore the camera. ]

[ugh, yeah, that flattens him a little too. he gives her a small smile as she turns back] All they want us to do is... play along. But it's unnerving, isn't it? And over something like the way we dress...

[emends]

[ It's easy to return his smile, although she doesn't look quite at ease as the cameraman continues to linger. ]

I am hoping it will be fun. It's a rare opportunity for me, to partake in this -- pageantry.
