With a new day, it is now light enough outside to take the swimsuit pictures! Kenshin is especially thrilled.Vikram: If you don't mind, I need you to stand over there for the pictures.
Kenshin: *sigh* If I must, might as well get this over with.

At last, the swimsuit shots everyone's been waiting for! I know, I know, I posed them all perfectly to fit their characters.





Yeah, that's not going to work.
Kenshin: And here I thought the Fairy had magical powers.

And now, the individual shots.
Dominic is trying to become one with the environment:


Much better Dominic shot:

Everette stands all broody in the library.

But that was too boring, so I made him do more characteristic, dramatic, symbolic things.


And then just pose with the camera, because those other shots don't show his face.

Vikram: Could you look less . . . stiff?
Talus: No.
Vikram: Could you try?
Talus: I am doing everything you are asking me. What more do you want?
Vikram: Hold on, I have an idea.

Vikram: Ah, much better! You look much better! Your eyes are much more noticeable, too.
Talus: Oh, well, is that just not fantastic . . .

Leopold dominates his natural domain: the kitchen.


Nathaniel's shot was perfect the first time. And really obvious, so it took almost no creativity whatsoever. Still superbly fun.

Kenshin is doing his best to pose like a tough guy.
Kenshin: You wanna mess with me? You wanna mess with ME!?
(beat) Not very convincing, is it?

This one is much better.

Dimitri (one of my best shots, I think)
Dimitri: The piano is great, but the guitar is really more my instrument--
Vikram: You tell me how you plan to sit on a guitar for the picture, and we'll do that.
Dimitri: You know what, never mind. This is great.
What's up next? Why, it's the Second Date Card! Tune in to see who's going on the next date!
