Getting organized
Once they're past the party, Jai, Iris and Cindy receive notifications of a time and place to meet for Speedforce Productions' initial set up meeting. Tess, of course, is invited, but doesn't need anything so formal. Steven even set up the twins' invitations to be on West-Allen time, so they should end up showing up around the time everyone else does.

He's rented out the party room of a pizza place in Keystone, where he can set up a projector and big screen and provide space for laptops and the like, after making sure the place had free wifi. Food is provided as a part of the meeting, with a few different types of pizza and a few different pitchers of soda, all labeled, are set out on the table.

	"No, I'm sure. I'll take a month. It's not like they can ground me." Or so she hoped. She was over eighteen after all. "Just tell me what month and we'll brainstorm some ideas." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"This is true. Ok, so if she's got November, and we put Cat in October, that just leaves May for Corinna. Ok, so now we need to start figuring out layouts. Tess' is a pretty good example. Shall we just start tossing in ideas, or go in order?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

"For January, Not-the-least-bit-Sad Petra in Snow. February, it's obvious why Huntress chose it: crossbow, Valentine's, etc. Shooting up a . March, Jess in just a white-and-gray swimsuit getting ironically 'surprise'-pinched by a hand coming from off camera, maybe? Avia... a shot mid-trick might be good. Corrina, some pretty, flowery outdoor shot, her boots, one of those may-queen flower crowns, a strategically wrapped sheet, and that's it?"

Steven nods. "That's kind of what I was thinking. If we can get Jess to do it, ideal. Set kind of a cloverish background, put her back to the camera, in a bikini colored like her costume - then some other model's hand coming from off the page to pinch her, with her looking slightly shocked over her shoulder, maybe?

Very good idea on Corinna, I like the Amazon May Queen feel. Definitely where there's obvious themes, add some playful suggestiveness without going overboard - and its probably pretty much what we're looking for."

"Yeah, a shamrock thing in there works well with the ironic St. Patty's pinch and helps make the joke. I like the sheet for Corinna working as a nod to her heritage, but how it's going to work is up to your wardrobe consultant. If Cat takes October I suppose you could take advantage of the obvious Halloween route and go with some kind of black cat style shoot. Works in as a reference to her costume too."

"Ah yes, Cindy's favorite. Basically, we get ten extra-large beach balls, all in different colors - one per model, in the colors of her uniform. We go out to the beach, and have each one hold up a beach ball in front of her so it covers the essentials - it might imply bikinis, it might imply nudity - but you can't tell. Especially when, say, Petra and Maria are giving mischievous looks, or we put Cindy out in the water behind the row of them, visible only in the distance, with her hand up to her mouth looking mildly scandalized."

	Tess smiles slightly. "Alina will want to go fourth of July, so fireworks. Definitely fireworks. Tricky shot, I know, but managable. August, classic Bond Girl-esque shot of Cait coming out of the water. And yes, 'fur bikini' type thing and the cat-cowl sounds perfect there, Jai." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"For fourth of July, that'll have to be an evening shoot, but if that proves too tricky a good backup can be dealing with the classic summer picnics, barbecues, maybe a strategic flag in there. Totally liking your way of putting August though Tess." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

"Hmmm, definitely liking the basic themes. Starting to work on fleshing them out. Ok, so you suggested happy Petra in snow for January... what if... hmmm... put her in her bikini, out in the snow, have her make a snow angel... add just a little ice-bluish dye and stuff to the edges so it stands out as a snow angel... and have the picture her sitting up in the midst of the snow angel, hands to the side of her head, fingers pointing up for the whole 'devil horns' thing?

I like the Petra in snow. Same with the rest. Just working on seeing where we can work in their personalities and make them stand out with the little touches.

I really, really like Bond Girl Cait for August, yes."

	"I think Petra will like that. November, I definitely support flurries of leaves, but that could use detail work. "December, I'm thinking lots and lots of candles. Elegant, and iconic for winter holidays in general. Maybe some classic Phrygian caps, whether of the Santa or Elfin varieties, each in everyone's colors." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

"Iris - the eventual goal is for Speedforce to be an action-scifi movie company. We just need to prove we can put together professional looking stuff, and get attention and sponsors first. I was thinking about making you and Jai the heroes of that story, when we get there... which, as she says, is well ahead of things right now.

For the moment, cheesecake calendar. Then we'll get to the next projects."
