Hey, everyone. Armin here. It's nice to meet you if we haven't yet.

I've heard some talk of calendars being created before the new year. Lately I've been trying to practice my photography, so I figured I might offer my services in case anyone is interested. I'm still very new to it. We didn't have cameras where I grew up, so I figure this could be a great way to practice.

Let me know if you're interested.

Thanks.

I am planning on making a calendar, but it was going to be a pin-up calendar - is that still something you'd be willing to shoot for?

Hello again, Armin. It's Ozymandias.

I wouldn't mind being your test subject in learning to become a better photographer. I am certainly a pleasing target to photograph as well.

[rollcharisma]

Hi Evangeline!

Could you explain what you mean by "pin-up"?

[Like you pin it to a wall...? Sounds like most calendars to him.]

[rollcharisma]

[Ever confident, That Ozymandias...Armin's a bit charmed by it.]

I certainly appreciate the offer, Ozymandias. Are you planning on putting a calendar together?

Either way, I think I'll take you up on that.

Like a sexy calendar. Not explicit pornography, but some sexy poses and some low-cut outfits, maybe lingerie if you want to get really spicy.

Like this.

[Imagine that's a picture of Evangeline and not a random model. No, she's not at all self-conscious about sending a sexy picture of herself to him.]

[rollcharisma]

[He's honestly not all that perturbed by the image. He knows Evangeline's personality well enough. Honestly, it's a beautiful picture, and he came into this well aware that sexual content would not be off the table - might, in fact, be the majority of his peers' interests.]

That's a lovely photo, Evangeline.

I'm not opposed to pin-ups at all if that's the case. I think we could put something really nice together. :)

[Now, for as smart as Armin is, he doesn't exactly realize that his wording might sound a bit like flirting. It truly isn't intended that way; he's being very genuine. Still, he'd be embarrassed if he found out that someone thought he might be suggesting something by it.]

[abnormalizes]

Thank you! I won't be posing for this calendar (you can probably guess what the theme is, knowing me) but if someone else asks me to pose for theirs I'm probably on board.

Great! I'll have to ask some friends about whether they want to pose and get some outfits ready, but I'll keep you posted.

[rollcharisma]

Thank you, Evangeline. This is very exciting. I haven't gotten much opportunity to take photos of anything other than the local landscapes.

[Although, since he knows who he's talking to...]

Speaking of the theme, though, I do have to say that I'd prefer not to take any titan-related photos if anyone we know has agreed to them.

That's just my personal preference. I hope you understand.

[abnormalizes]

That's no problem. I know they've got bad associations to say the least for a lot of you guys, I'm not going to be like 'hey take a picture of your trauma in a sexy outfit', that's mean.

[rollcharisma]

Haha. Yes, I'd have to agree with that.

I know you wouldn't. Thanks for understanding, Evangeline. You're a good friend to me.

Hello, Armin. My name is Rin Tohsaka, it's nice to meet you too.

So, tell me, would you agree to shoot photos of a young woman in lingerie?

[abnormalizes]

I think that's the minimum you should expect from a friend, but you're welcome anyway.

Since I know you won't want a copy of the finished product, how should I pay you for your time? Money? Favors? More sexy photos of myself?

[rollcharisma]

Hello Rin.

I can't say I'd be opposed to that, no, just so long as there are some boundaries in place for everyone's comfort.

[rollcharisma]

I know I should probably be charging money since photography is a service and all that, but honestly, I'm just happy for the practice. I'm hardly a professional.

As long as you allow me to add the photos to my portfolio, then I'd consider us even. :)

[abnormalizes]

If you insist. Do you have anything in your portfolio to share so far?

[contemplatively]

Where did you come from that they didn't have cameras?

I wasn't aware of the calendars, but what a good idea. Should you still need models, I would be delighted to model for you.

[dreamsofwings]

You can take some of me if you want. I want to have pictures since no one would have had any at home.

[ Is this weird and morbid? Sure, but consider the source. ]

[rollcharisma]

Only a few things. I found myself taking a lot of pictures on my phone when I first arrived, so I decided to get a proper camera once I had the means for one. Not that the camera on the phone is anything short of amazing.

I have a few prints in a physical portfolio. Honestly, I've been a bit nervous to show anyone.

[rollcharisma]

Parts of my world had cameras, but nothing like they have here. As for myself, I grew up in a secluded area.

[Sure! Let's word it that way!]

If you're offering, then I'd honestly like all the practice I can get. Do you have anything in mind for what kind of photos you'd like?

[rollcharisma]

[The source is considered.]

I will absolutely take pictures of you. When do you want to get together?

Do you have any ideas of the sort of pictures you'd want?

You can have an entire calendar if you want. :P Imagine it: Eren Jaeger, 12 months a year.

[The joke didn't work on Marco, so he's trying it again. Maybe the emoji will help.]

[pyramidsmash]

Definitely. I am still in a planning phase, but ideally I'll have one of myself and another of my dear concubines.

[abnormalizes]

I'd like to see them, but only if you're comfortable sharing. No pressure.

[rollcharisma]

Sure. I'd like that, Evangeline.

Would you like to come over sometime soon? We can discuss your photoshoot as well - maybe take some practice photos?

[rollcharisma]

[He's not entirely sure how he feels about the term "concubines", but it's not as if they've never met. He won't protest.]

I'd be happy to help. I don't have much experiencing photographing others at all (mostly landscapes), but the more subjects the better, I figure.

[pyramidsmash]

[It's alright, it's not like he uses that term all that often, really. Just occasionally, like this.]

Wonderful. I'm sure you will be getting plenty of requests, so I'll let you figure out your schedule. I'm very flexible when it comes to time and other matters.
