I smiled at Mrs Smith. She had been my first manager and I liked the fact that she was trying to make me and this rude girl friends, even though we could both tell that there was an unspoken hate in the air. We bagn to pace over to another building. I, being the wonderfully polite and non violent person I was, had gently grabbed her wrist to make her comfortable.
I turned to Elizabeth, "This'll be good. We'll know each others strengths and weaknesses first hand."
Mrs Smith nodded and pulled out her diary from her purse. It was a small, black, leather book, labelled, "Schedule for the Famous."
I remember the first appointment I had ever had with her and that book. My smile widened. I could tell Elizabeth didn't like her, which made me like Mrs Smith all the more. After her outburst the only thing which had kept her quiet had been my hand on her wrist. She seemed comforted by it. As we were walking we had a conversation.
I smiled at her, and asked Mrs Smith, "Have you seen any of our rival models yet?"
The look on Mrs Smith's eyes was worrying, she literally paused in front of the both of us making us run into her. Elizabeth and I at least shared the grace of ducklings. I glanced over to Elizabeth to check if she had seen it. She had and an unexplainable expression crept into her eyes.
Mrs Smith gently slammed her diary shut, before sharply cramming back into her purse and beginning to walk again, "It's like they dug into the very bottom of the world."
Elizabeth spoke first, "So they're bad and crappy?"
Mrs Smith shook her head, shaking loose a few strands of hair which had been neatly tucked behind her ear, "No, they struck oil!"
"So they found some good people?" I aksed, concerned about Elizaberth. The look that had been in her eyes had worried me and I suddenly remembered in her report that she had been suicidal once.
"Not good. GREAT. I thanked god that my husband found some shiny bright gold. And I found a sparkling diamond!" She seemed to be saying this more to herself than to either Elizabeth or I.
It was like she was describing us a type of jewellery. I glanced her over and wasn't surprised to find that she was in fact obsessed with it. At least she knew the good from the bad.
"So, are we going to be running into some on our first shoot?" Elizabeth voiced my thoughts.
Mrs Smith glanced at us, "I have purposely made a double contract with an other company. I know we'll only be paid half, but you should get to see the flaws in another partner pair in one of our rival companies."
That was smart, I had to admit. I never thought that Mrs Smith could be so cunning. I asked, "What kind of shoot is it?"
We had arrived at a building. She stopped suddenly and as we both tried to regain proper footing she pushed us through the doors. I stared at Mrs Smith as we fell to the floor in a tangle of arms and legs.
There was a smile on her face, "You'll see."
Then she walked off, leaving us to find our own body peices. I groaned, "I swear she thinks we must be unpolished.
Elizabeth got us first, "No, she's insane!"
I frowned at her as offered her hand to help me up. I took it, "Not insane . . . okay, well, let's just say she's not entirely SANE."
A voice echoed through the doors, "Don't forget to check for weaknesses."
I pulled a face, making Elizabeth smile. She had probably just heard our scathing comments. What she had just said echoed in my mind.
I wasn't sure what the last words she had said to Elizabeth and I meant. Did she mean weaknesses in our rivals? Or weaknesses in our partners?
She had no idea what was wrong with their agent, but she definitely knew something was wrong. The woman had ears like a bat! There was no way she could work with this woman. Elizabeth looked at Ballow "I don't think that I can work with this woman, I'll go crazy!"
Ballow smiled, "You'll survive, it will get used to it eventually."
"I don't think I will. This is too overwhelming," She put her face in her hands, she couldn't handle this stress. It would push her over the edge again.
She felt Ballow's hand on her shoulder trying to give her comfort, she pulled stength from it and looked at him. His smile told her taht he had faith in her and that he knew she could do this. Okay, I'm going to do this. Even if it kills me. She laughed at the irony.

I'm Incognito's spokesperson sorry, she's my sister and she doesnt want to log on at this moment in time. But yah, she said, either just take his attributes, or someone just take over the character completely.
If things are a little too rushed though, I could take over the character if it matters much . I have Incog's consent. It just matters if you all want me to take over the character!
If not, Ciao

**Alright so, sorry for the doublepost, and this is the new Alec, Dreamwalker style . Hopefully I kept him in the same pretenses in which Incognito kept him under!**
Alec
He gulped nervously as he stepped into the taxi, not wanting to be alone with the perfect sculture of a male model. It was awkward enough that he was gorgeous, but to be stuck in a taxi with him alone was the scariest bit. Time would only tell how much of a fool he could make of himself in the small timespan that it took to get to where they were going.
And time would only pass by slowly with this aching burden on his chest, of that he was sure.
He shifted closer to the one side of the car, trying his hardest to completely avoid any chance of coming even a few inches closer to the male then he had to. It was much easier that way to make less of a fool of himself.
"You look like a deer in headlights," Dustin stated, a smirk crossing his sculpted features.
Alec hadnt realised he had squished himself up so close to the other side of the car that he was nearly facing it entirely, his eyes wide in shock at what he had been doing.
"Oh... I hadnt realised..." he felt another wave of nervousness eclipse him.
** is this still going? No one's posted in awhile..**

I turned my attention to the large door looming in front of us, titled, "Shooting In Progress."
It was really the title that alarmed me, it was the type of shooting theme. I had noticed as soon as we had stepped in, the grin I had had on, frozen on my face. It was a swimmers shoot.
Sand was littered over the ground and the lights that were just being set up were already glaring out, making heat wash over everyone. I glanced over at Elizabeth and watched as she took it in. Her face went white.
I tried to inject some humour into the situtation, "Well, at least your probably wearing a two piece."
She turned to me with a raised eyebrow. I just realised then how gay I sounded, but I wasn't gay, I was bi!! I let out a sigh, "You know, they might put me in a speedo."
She frowned, the she did what every person did when someone mentioned a speedo, they checked your package. I have no idea why everyone does that, its like common sense, don't stare there, but as I let the last word slide off my tongue I watched as he gaze dropped slowly towards that point.
I suddenly spun around and swore, our competitors were obviously walking in. My mouth dropped as I tugged on Elizabeth's sleeve, pointing, "Look! Rival . . . partner things. . ."
