"He is so adoreable, and so tiny." she said, a smile came on to her face, sounding genuinely happy about the little guy. She took her cell out and pulled the picture of a black and white male cat yawning into the camera, she showed him the picture. "This is my baby, he doesn't live with me but back with my parents. he is 14 years old in human years in this picture. I would have brought him with me but he was to old to travel with me. I miss him dearly." she said as her happy smile turnned into a sad smile, she looked at the picture and seemed to stroke it with her thumb. She picked her cup up and finished her drink, her cell beeped agian, she sighed and looked at the message. "I am sorry that is my agent....he wants me to do a cover for a romance novel with some famous male model. I don't even get a name.....maybe i get lucky and it will be some one that i know." she said hopfully, she seemed to smile a little seductively, she pushed some of her back behind her ear before she bent down and picked up her bag that she had set next to her earlier. She smiled at Kai before she stood up, she slung her bag over her shoulder as another cell beeped, she looked at hers and saw that it was hers that gone off.

"We'll have to find you another cat," Kai said sympathetically, practically squirming as he forced his hands to stay in his lap. He wanted to reach out and touch her hand, but chose to keep his hands to himself. When she spoke of her agent calling her, he smiled. "That's alright. I need to let my surrogate rest. I've been out far longer than I'm supposed to." Standing, he tugged at the edge of his checkered glove for a moment before flipping his hood up over his eyes. "I'm falling asleep as it is."
Pretending to fall asleep then and there, Shusuke chuckled. "It was good meeting you, Luna." He offered a hand, smiling. "See you around?" Then, randomly, as though he'd just remembered, he pulled his phone back out of his pocket with his free hand. "Mind if I give you my number? I'd love to hang out some time." Looking at her somewhat hopefully, the youth smiled charmingly - yet another perfected look thanks to being a model.

Ayumi sighed as soon as she walked into her apartment. She had no idea why she kept her job as a bartender - the skimpy outfits, being hit on, grabbed - and on the rare occasion groped - by men and women ranging from sixteen ( if they had good fake IDs ) to sixty - when all she really liked was mixing the drinks and watching people have fun, and also the dancing on the tables at the random hours. She flopped on her bed, setting the mail down, and stretched herself out, feeling paper rubbing against her skin. She sighed and moved to grab the small tips from various customers, amazed by how sneaky they could be. She decided to give her surrogate some rest, and was soon back into her own body, pulling wires away from her body that connected her to the dock, throwing them to the side and went to take a shower, grabbing a tanktop and some shorts.

[ O_o.. Didn't know what else to do. xD ]

((Welcome! ^_^ Glad to have you. ;) I'll perhaps have Vance come and say hello . . . or they could run into one another. ^_- Maybe when she heads back to work or heads out. :lol: Sorta hard to get them together at this moment . . . Vance isn't the type to mess around in someone elses room.))

((sorry i am having computer problems i will post when i can))

[ Haha. Do Ayumi and Vance know each other or something? I was planning to have her check her mail and go somewhere. Maybe she could have borrowed something or something of the sort? x) ]

"Maybe but i am not allowed to have pets in my apartment. The land lord is allergic to animals. It was good to meet you too, Kai." she said with a smile on her face, shaking his hand in the process. "Yea i hope i can see you around, after this photo shot i will have to go home and rest also. But sure, i will give you my number and you can give me yours." she said as she took her cell out, and switched them with him, she quickly typed her number in putting it under Luna, she even took a picture of herself and set it as her id picture for him. She handed him his cell back, taking hers when he handed it to her. "Now it will be easier for you to know it is me. Bye, Kai." she said as she laughed a little while smiling, she waved at him, ducking out of the cafe and into a taxi, heading to her photo shot. Her facial expressions were perfected to the point they became her natrual expressions, never slipping an inch into her old imperfect ones.

((i am a thread killer!!!!))

Elijah walked slowly to the hospital, trying not to run into people. He still seemed a bit drowsy from his nap, but one wouldn't be able to figure that out. At least not by seeing his surrogate. Elijah sighed as he had to stop and wait for the crosswalk light to turn green. The light seemed forever to take. But, within a minute, it turned green and people soon began walking across the intersection.

Elijah finally made his way to the hospital, entering through the main entrance. He casually looked around until he found someone that he could talk to. Shrugging his shoulders, Elijah carefully took out his camera and began snapping some shots.

Victoria raised in eyebrow at Elijah, and slowly followed after him. "What's this for?" she asked, watching him take a few more pictures. "The news media? They've already had someone in here, if that's what you're doing." Not quite sure how to respond to having this surrogate snapping shots of victims, the Hatter sighed and continued to follow him.
-

Kai smiled when they exchanged phones, and waved lazily when his new friend left the cafe. Alright, now for some rest. His surrogate certainly needed it, especially being a Uni. Slowly heading for the door, he waved to the waiter that had helped them before slipping outside. It wasn't long before he was in a cab and headed for home - he'd wake up when he got there.
-

((Hmm. Vance and her might know one another. :yes: And that would force them to link up again, especially if she has something of importance. :yes: LOL, I'm so sorry for abandoning you guys here . . . :XD))

Elijah slowly pulled his camera down from his face and turned around. Standing behind him with a raised eyebrow was a woman. Smiling, Elijah extended his hand towards hers. "I'm Elijah and I'm doing this for someone who messaged me to take photographs."
Elijah was a bit confused about why she was asking what it was for. He figured she probably would have known. Heck, he didn't even know why he was taking pictures of the wounded soldiers.

((i don't know what to type so i am going to just say the photoshoot went well and she is at home sleeping))

Victoria raised her head in acceptance, and then pointed to a particularly sad looking woman that knelt beside her husband's bed. "That would be a good one," she said quietly. "Heartbreaking." Her eyes scanned over the man beside her, and she smiled slightly. "Could I interest you in some appetizers? Sadly, all we have is crackers and tea, but it's good if you're hungry."
-

((LOL, and Kai headed home to sleep. ;) So I guess we'll just let a few hours pass before waking them up. Think I'll have Kai call Luna . . . :lol:))

((sounds good to me lol))

A quiet alarm caused Kai to groan, and he reached over to hit the button without moving. It was time to get back to work. There were a few people he had to visit, and they weren't going to wait for him.
Slipping out of bed, the youth sighed, running a hand over his face before looking to his surrogate. It felt like looking in a mirror - but at the same time, he was looking at a stranger. Stepping over to the bed he used to transfer, the youth didn't bother getting ready for the day. He merely let his mind transfer over his avatar.
His hand immediately shot to his phone, and he whipped it out. Dialing the number, he sent a text to Luna, hoping he wouldn't wake her with his random bout of obsession.

Hey deary. :kiss: Rise and shine! Hope I'm not waking you.

Luna yawned when she heard her cell phone going off; it was a jingle, well more like the sound of the ocean. She flipped it open, and looked at the text she had gotten from Kai, it made her smile.

Hey, lol. :) Good Morning to you too. :hug: I had to get up anyways even though I got the day off. :)

She slipped out of the bed, heading towards the shower, she washed and cleaned her self for a few minutes before she got out and dressed in a baggy male shirt. She grabbed a mountain dew from the fridge, grabbing her cell and shoving it in her pocket; she walked out onto her balcony and watched people go by. She wasn’t in a rush, she never was, she could see the ocean from her apartment, and she just wished she was closer to it. She sighed heavily and sipped at her drink absently before she went back to make a bagel.

You have the day off? Lucky! I have a few things to do today . . . but are you up for lunch?

Kai took a deep breath, running his hand through his shaggy hair before stepping outside and onto the street. Shoot number one . . . the park. He was supposed to meet his client there for roughly an hour, and then head over to the next apointment - coffee with one of his employers. It was a meeting, though it usually didn't have anything to do with Shusuke himself talking. All he needed was to know what he was modeling for next. His presense was . . . trivial.
Thinking about lunch with Luna made him smile, and the punk-themed youth let a bit of an energetic skip enter his step. Let's get this day moving then.

Lol, sure Lunch sounds great. If you don't mind I would like to see you work....that is only if you don't mind. If you do i will just spend the time at a pet shop.

She texted him after her mind trasnferred to her avatar, she changed her clothse to a spring dress. She pulled the sides of her hair back and pinned it there, pulled on a pair of blue flats, she tucked her cell into her purse along with her keys. She left her apartment, locking the door behind her, soon she was out on the streets and started to walk around absently, not really doing anything or going anywhere. She was just looking around and taking in everything as she waitted for Kai to reply to her.

Glancing down at the strange assortment of clothing that he was wearing, Kai bit his lip for a moment, reaching up to absently touch the ring in his eyebrow. He typed out his reply as he was walking to the park, slowing his step slightly.

I don't mind, as long as you don't laugh. They don't like their little emo looking like he's about to burst into laughter. ;)

The youth glanced about him, and then headed further along the streets, dodging a car or two before finding his way to the correct sidewalk, his bright sparkling eyes catching on the photographers up ahead. They were lingering about the park benches, and there were only about four of them - this was a school photography group. Sure, Kai was getting paid - but it was more for them than it was for him.

I'll be at the park for the next hour, if you want to wander on over here.

Slowly approaching the group, he smiled, and they asked his name - from there, the "job" began. From moodily staring off at the sky, to laying on the grass with a rather depressed expression on his face, Kai was acting as though it was his last day on earth - literally. Fingering his ragged black gloves, he looked about ready to slit his wrists a few times - though it was all an act. Inside, he was nearly fidgeting at the thought of Luna showing up. How strange would it be?

I will try not to. Just look for a white dress with some blue on it. :)

She stopped and looked around to see where she was at, she was a couple of blocks from the park, and she smiled softly as she made her way towards it. She made her way slowly down the path, looking around for Kai, and there he was lying beneath a tree with a group of photographers. She moved quietly behind the group until she thought she was in his eye sight, she gave him a smile and waved at him. She was careful not to get in front of the cameras, he was doing a good job, he really looked like a depressed emo guy. She on the other hand, she did everything, well except for a few things. She tried really hard to not get in the way, she tried to hide from the photographers also, this was his shoot and the last thing she needed was for them to turn their attention to her instead.

The youth sent a subtle wink in Luna's direction before seemingly turning his attention away from her. It looked like he was ignoring her completely, like she was never there - but in all reality, he was very much aware of her presense. After the teens snapping photos finally turned their attention toward one another's cameras, Shusuke stood, brushing a few strands of grass off of himself before sauntering over to Luna.
"Hey girl," he smiled at her, nudging the woman with an elbow gently. "Fancy seeing you here." Kai winked, meeting her gaze. "So what do you feel like eating? Chinese? Mexican?" He paused. "Sushi? Something more . . . American?" He chuckled, shaking his head. "There are so many choices around here."

“Hey,” she said to him as he walked over towards her, she laughed when he said fancy seeing you here, she didn’t know why but that sentence always made her laugh. “How bout you surprise me?” she said to him, a smile was on her face, it was rare to get a true smile from her and he was lucky enough to get one from her. She quickly moved to where she was hidden from view from the students, it was he day off and she didn’t need pictures snapped of her yet, she looked Kai over and smiled even more. “You look good, Kai. Checkers aren‘t my taste but they look good on you.” She said to him, she came out of hiding once she saw that no one was looking their way, a thought popped up in her head and it made her chuckle a little. “Hmm…wouldn‘t it be funny if we had to work together one day?” she put voice to the thought that made her chuckle; her attention was now completely on Kai then it was on the photographers.

"That's one thing with surrogates," the youth said, snagging his black sweater and phone before waving to one of the teens that was photographing him. They'd talk later. "You can wear just about anything and look good." He regarded her for a few moments before nodding as though proving his point. He motioned to her, his green eyes scanning over her quickly. "Now that is an absolutely stunning dress, might I add. You make it look even better, too." The youth smiled, winking, before looking in the direction of the streets. If she wanted him to pick, then so be it.
When Luna mentioned working together, his sparkling eyes widened. "Mmmm," Kai smiled slyly, chuckling. "Wouldn't that be interesting." He whistled quietly, stuffing his hands in his pockets before nudging her gently. "I don't think I'd mind."
Kai smiled, and then motioned toward the road. "Let's get moving before someone decides they want another shot. I promised them roughly an hour. 45 minutes will have to do."

“Why thank you. It would be interesting, since your emo punk and I am more…well not emo punk that is for sure. I think they might follow us to get shots of you and who they will assume is your girlfriend.” she laughed as she said the last sentence, she was picking on him but she also knew how hard it was to get away from the photographers. Now that she had seen him more then once, even exchanged numbers, she was more relaxed and it was easier for her to be how she really is. She hooked her arms through his when he nudge her, she started to laugh again, they way they were at the moment, it was a good chance to get a picture of them. She started walking with him towards the road, she was enjoying, hanging out with Kai even if she had just met him yesterday. She quickly ducked behind him when she saw a flash, she didn’t know if it was a camera or just a shinny piece of metal but one thing was sure she wasn’t about to take a chance.

"They might assume that," Kai said, tilting his head as she linked her arms through one of his. His smile grew a bit wider. "At this moment, many would." She was cute - way cute. Like, soldiers-went-to-war-to-defend-this cute. It made Kai blush a bit to think of how she was teasing him - girlfriend. Heh. Right.
When she flinched, the youth chuckled, shaking his head. "Someone getting a shot of us together is that bad?" he asked, bumping her shoulder with his arm gently. "What are you doing hanging out with me then, lady?"
Leading her down one of the streets, Shusuke held his phone and coat with his free hand. They certainly did look like quite the . . . couple. Contrasting styles, yet both of them stunningly beautiful. Kai was vaguely aware that they were close to the restarant.
