Hello!!

So, I've gotten back my camera and that basically means one thing only: I wanna take your picture, please!

It's not only good practice for me, it's a treat for you! The pictures don't rely on a computer and I can buy what's needed to develop them. I'm good at regular portraits, fashion poses, and thirst traps especially.

You can contact me here, or at my private mail.

As far as payment goes, please bring food: rice, konbu, miso, and tofu are all good choices.

xoxoxo,

Amamiya Kokoro

wats a thirst trap?

[shutter_hime]

A picture that is sensual in nature, and kind of sexy. It's sort of a tease more than anything like straight up nudity.

[protectorofsmiles]

oh hey I can do those!

I mean people say I'm very hansome so maybe I can pull it off

Wat does that have to do with drinking water tho

[shutter_hime]

Absolutely nothing! It is basically a term that makes people thirsty looking at you, because you're out of reach.

Someone pls come get this man in swear

[protectorofsmiles]

why does looking at someone they desire makes them thirsty??

Also where r u

Also dam I'm thirsty now

For water

[shutter_hime]

Mm, it's a figure of speech where/when I'm from. Don't think about it too much! wwww

Get some water. I'm currently at my hotel in Kyoto, that's why I figured it was the perfect spot.

[protectorofsmiles]

u got it! I'll find some water somewher and be right over

Wait hotels are like big inns, right? Which room?

Hello. I would very much like to see what else these new cameras can do.

I beg your pardon though, but what is a "thirst trap"? I don't understand what being thirsty has to do with photography...

[shutter_hime]

Oh sure! I'm happy to show people my precious baby.

Well, it's sort of a cake shot? Something that is sensual without being necessarily full on sexual. It's thirsty because it makes people want more, and they're unable to fully sate themselves. It's fun to take pictures of because I can easily pick out the best angles for people.

[sunlightyellow]

[ His Victorian sensibilities. What did he just get himself into? ]

I see.
I wonder if my fiancé would like a picture

[ Another message hurriedly follows the last one as he realises something. ]

Not one of these "thirst traps" you spoke of - just an ordinary pleasant picture I'm sure.

[shutter_hime]

Cute!!! I'd love to take a normal picture for you. They're the rule, thirst traps are the exception, you know?

[shutter_hime]

526! I'll be waiting for you!

[protectorofsmiles]

[Time passes. And soon there's a knock on Kokoro's door.

Should the door be opened, standing out in the hall is Genbu, dressed in his black singlet and purple half-slops which are tucked into a pair of work boots. Genbu himself has his hair in a ponytail, with a white bandana resting on top. On his shoulder he is carrying a large bag of rice.

Yeah, right now, he is the epitome of sexy construction worker pinup.]

Kokooooooo, I'm "here"!

[ooc: he's using koko for "here" he PUN]

[shutter_hime]

[Kokoro opened the door and wrinkled her nose at him in mock distaste. Her furisode and hakama were neat and orderly in comparison to Genbu's more working-class threads.]

Boooooo.

[That bag of rice was HUGE. But on the other hand, as soon as everyone could go back to Tokyo, she'd have a ton of rice to eat.]

Thanks for bringing the rice, though! Just put it over by the closet, I'll figure out what to do with it later. What kind of picture do you want me to take?

[Kokoro talked as she went over to her hard case and opened it. Snugly safe within was her camera, the Bikon D7100 looked as alien as any of Genbu's tomestones might've looked to her. She knew it could take a lot, but she still showed Genbu with care as she put a lens on the camera.]

So this is my baby; she's the last camera my dad gave me for my birthday before I came here. He's a wildlife photographer, so I always get his hand-me-downs. Isn't she beautiful?

[protectorofsmiles]

Ehhh? B-booo??

[Pout pout. Tough crowd, she was! Well then, moving on...]

Ah...okay...?

[Genbu moves over and gently plops the rice down.

When he returns, Kokoro asks about what picture to take, but then seems to start gushing over her little device. Genbu smiles and keeps quiet, allowing her to talk about her "baby".]

So is this how cameras look in yer world?

[shutter_hime]

Yeah, but not all cameras are the same. There's even a camera in my cell phone... [Kokoro fished it out of her sleeve and opened up the camera app. She didn't want to bother Atalanta-kun too much to charge it, but a couple pictures would be fine now and again. With the camera facing them, she snapped a quick photo after a small adjustment of her arm.]

See? My other camera will be better quality.

[protectorofsmiles]

Gah!

[Genbu notices a small flash coming from Kokoro and he jumps, a little defensive. That is until he realizes where it came from.]

Eh? Cell....hey! That kinda looks like one of those tomephones!

[The photo taken by Kokoro will have her smiling and looking cute with a blurred black and tan blob next to her.]

[shutter_hime]

Pfft, I have no idea what a tomestone is, but OK. Hold still, it's hard to take a good selfie if you're jumping around like that. Actually put your head here.

[Kokoro pats her shoulder.]

We'll take a selfie together and then maybe you'll let me take your picture?

[protectorofsmiles]

Eh?? Uh sure...?

[Once Kokoro pats her shoulder, Genbu places his chin on it much like a dog shoving it's nose in a circle formed by it's owner's hand.]

Like this?

[shutter_hime]

[Kokoro grins and adjusts the angle of the camera, playing around with some of the features until she apparently gets just what she wants out of the image.]

OK, smile and-- se no!

[The screen doesn't need to flash this time, anyway. Kokoro and Genbu find themselves staring back at Kokoro and Genbu in her phone's screen.]

Ooh, we're cute.

[protectorofsmiles]

Hah look at that! So that's what the tomephones back home can do! I'm missin' o-

...


Aaah!!! It's a picture!! You take of yerself!!!

Selfie...

I suppose this has already been asked, but what is a "thirst trap"?

text

[shutter_hime]

I did! But that's OK, I don't mind explaining it again. Basically it's an image designed to make people want more. Usually guys do it while wearing grey sweatpants and no shirt. Sometimes it's as simple as pulling down the hem of your pants slightly with your thumb. Faces aren't necessary, but some people like making sure you can see them.

Different strokes for different folks and everything.

[jasidian]

I...see.

I suppose I'm interested? Although I'm not the best looking person out there.

[shutter_hime]

REALLY???

Oh man, that'd be so great! And don't worry about it; beauty is irregular, and I like to pride myself on bringing the best out of people. You're in good hands with me!

[jasidian]

Alright then!

I suppose I could show you what I look like, but...I'm not exactly sure of how to do that.
