Welcome to Gaia! ::

From the side of the house, a chipper voice called out "Hullofericerous*!" It was a nonsensical word, but it still reasonably sounded like a greeting if anything. From behind a large tree sprang out a silvery haired girl with bright eyes. She had a striped shirt with a pair of high-waist button-up shorts on with a red bandana tied over her head.

Prancing forward, she soon enough was beside the green haired stranger. "You are.... Cait... if I am remembering right..." She tapped her chin with her red-polished nails. After thinking it over, she didn't hestitate to try and grab onto the girl's hand and drag her along inside the house.

"I think Mom said she was ready now for your appointment... come on in!"

Passing the front door, they would pass a wall that was pale and covered with black Fleur de Lis patterns, almost making the panel of wall look lacy and seductive.

"I don't really think there is a special waiting room so much as our living room... but you can sit back and relax and look through some of the beautimous* pictures from other shoots. Mom has a couple sample calendars and booklets to give you an idea what you can do"

After a short walk through a hallway, they approached a relatively basic black couch that had a white see-through curtain behind it that was pulled back, revealing the other half of the living room. There was a fluffy white fur rug on the floor, a jukebox against one wall and an old time record player on the other wall. However, the walls themselves were probably the most impressive part. They were covered with floor to ceiling with old record albums. There was no longer even an inch of the original wall showing thanks to the plastered slip covers.

As Mystery patted the couch so that Cait knew where she could sit down, a subtle mewing sound came from underneath the couch. "Ohhhh... do you like cats, Cait? There's a flirty one underneath the couch right now... he might come out and say hi... you allergic to cats? Did you take your allergy pills?"

After patting the couch, Mystery wandered off for a moment, clearly to grab the materials she had mentioned before. When she came back she had 2 calendars (one of which was completely a maternity shoot), and three little hard cover booklets. She set them on a nearby table as she observed Cait's fascination with the Record Wall.

"I am guessing you approve of the wall? You want to take some shots over there? It's one of the more popular sets we have... Mom says it's because there's lots of possibilities!"

Another mewing sound escaped the couch, and soon enough a tan snout was peeking out from under the seat.

"I see you, Oasis!" the girl giggled out before crouching down and immediately trying to pull the cat out from under the couch. Soon enough the girl had an animal huddled up against her as she held him.

"Say hi to the pretty lady, Oasis!"

Whether it was training or just him randomly deciding to be vocal, the tan cat let out a mewing sound.

The cat mewled out once more before letting out a large feline yawn.

"Don't give him too many compliments... he might get a Pomago* if you do!" The girl jostled the cat in her arms before giving his head a couple scratches.

Without skipping a beat, the child asked "So, do you have a boyfriend to show your photos to afterwards?" She tapped her chin as best as she could before she then readjusted to a position where she could hold the cat with both hands at Cait.

"If not, Oasis will gladly be your boyfriend! Just expect him to be loyal, he's not that kind of man!"

"Oh, you must have a trendibular* older sister if she got you a present like that! I'd be jealous if it weren't for the fact Mom let's me take pictures whenever I want!" Bouncing up and down upon the balls of her feet, the child successfully passed off the cat.

However, the approach of someone else soon enough announced itself upon the hardwood floors. A steady tap-tap-tap made its way closer, and soon enough a pale haired woman with her hair tied back in a wavy ponytail came in through the entrance from the kitchen. She had a coffee mug which she had clearly been drinking from moments ago.

"Ah, so Cait is here? Mystery, honey... next time let me know!" Drawing in close, she wistfully gave the feline in the green-haired girl's arms a scratch under the chin.

"I am pretty sure he likes to be pet anywhere, as long as it is by a pretty girl! He seems to like to come out of hiding when it is time for photos!" One more simple touch to the cat's chin and the woman backed herself up slightly.

"I'm Carolynn... and you've already met my daughter, Mystery. You are already paid in full, so if you don't have any questions, we can actually go ahead and get started!"

The child went up to the elder of the Wylde pair and tugged at her sleeve slightly. "Mom.... Mom! Can you believe that this girl doesn't have a boyfriend yet?"

"A pretty thing like her? I don't believe it!"

The sand colored cat didn't seem very thrilled at being removed so readily after so little attention had been paid to him. Clearly he needed more love. He easily circled back once on the ground and soon enough was pressing his cheek against the stranger's leg.

Carolynn laughed. It wasn't any sort of derogatory laugh, but more of a humored one. "Well, there's nothing wrong with making yourself look gorgeous and making the boys wish that you were with them! Make them all see what they have been missing!" She winked to the customer

Another tug to the woman's sleeve and another prompt soon enough chimed in. "Can I go take her back to get changed? Can I can I can I?"

With her non-tugged sleeved hand, she lifted up her mug and took a sip. Even with her lipstick heavily coloring her own lips, she was still able to leave no imprint behind on the ceramic cup. "I see no reason you shouldn't be allowed. I mean, unless Cait isn't comfortable with an 11 year old basically asking her to get into her panties and bra and to put a robe on over it." Having spelled out what "getting changed" entailed of, the woman's blue eyes glanced back to the customer.

The saying was "the customer is always right" for a reason.

The silvery-haired child perked up immediately and soon enough was at Cait's side, latching onto her hand and tugging insistently. Once the green-haired client was up on her feet, the child dragged her down the hall a ways until they got to a doorway that had a beaded curtain draping through the entry. Without hesitation, Mystery pulled the young lady through to the other side. It was a walk in closet and just in passing it was obvious that the Wyldes had quite the collection of dresses, lingerie, and accessories for the Vintage pin ups they sold. One wall further away was lined up with shoes of all sorts of colors, sizes, and styles.

At one point the child let go of Cait's hand and scampered quickly to a section in the closet with some skimpy little silky robes. Picking up a pink one, she came back only to open a very nearby door inside.

"So here's the bathroom... go ahead and get changed.... off with the clothes but keep your underwear and bra on, and put this on over it! We don't want to get your day clothes dirty with makeup!" She momentarily slipped into the bathroom to set the robe upon the edge of the sink before scampering away to wait at the beaded drape.
