prompt 1. âfoe-toesâ
In prior years, you had to rely on your own memories to recall the events of each ball (however well that went considering, well, the overarching situationâŚ). Tonight, the Projectionist is determined to make that a thing of the past. In her pursuit to bring light magic to its true potential, she has developed a new invention: the photo-artifex! Magic and lenses work together to imprint light onto paper, creating a lasting black-and-white image of whatever it sees.
The machines themselves are less than portable, but there are several to take advantage of tonight. Most are set up in what she calls a âtheaterâ kind of environment: one photo-artifex pointed at a background, with a table of props set up nearby for people to use in their âphotosâ. The wide space allows for multiple people to be in the photo at the same time, perfect for groups! For couples, however, the Projectionist insists that you try her âartifex-boxâ, a booth that fits only two people but allows each patron to take home a string of multiple photos.
Take a picture! Strike a pose!
[ Back hug ] - For the photo, the sender embraces the receiver from behind.
[ Bunny ears ] - The sender sneakily puts up two fingers behind the receiverâs head, making them look like they have bunny ears.
[ Cheek ] - The sender kisses the receiver on the cheek for a cute photo.
[ Dance ] - For the photo, the sender and receiver pose in a way that suggests they are in the middle of a dance.
[ Glamour ] - The sender struts their stuff, posing their body in⌠âinterestingâ, angular ways that show off their outfit.
[ Jump ] - For the photo, the sender and receiver try to time their jump so that the photo-artifex captures them in mid-air. Might take a few triesâŚ
[ Laugh ] - Laughing makes for a natural smile, and so the sender tries to make the receiver laugh for the photo.
[ Lift ] - For the photo, the sender boldly lifts the receiver up in their arms. Whether or not they can hold them long enough for the photo may be another storyâŚ
[ Muscle ] - For the photo, the sender and receiver pull back their sleeves to show off their rippling biceps.
[ Secret ] - The sender leans in close to the receiver and hides their lips from the photo-artifex, suggesting a kiss between the two. Whether or not the sender actually doesâŚ
[ Smooch ] - The sender kisses the receiver on the lips for a romantic photo.
[ Spell ] - The sender and the receiver put their hands up in the air, posing in a way that spells out a word.
And any other pose you can think of!
Take a look at the props:
[ Unicorn ] - Unfortunately, no horses are allowed in the ballroom. The Projectionist has thoughtfully prepared a stuffed horse for prop purposes, sturdy enough for one small child to sit on without fearing for their life. A single horn adorns its forehead.
[ Meow ] - Headbands adorned with two cat ears, perfect for hissy felines in human suits.
[ Tinted Glasses ] - Oversized glasses with dark lenses and colorful frames. A little silly-looking.
[ 1180 Glasses ] - Oversized glasses with unique frames formed in the shape of the year â1180â.
[ Arrow ] - A blank white sign in the shape of an arrow pointing to your left. You can write all sorts of things on it, from âBest Girlfriend Everâ to âIâm With Stupidâ.
And anything else you can find on the table!
