Month 7, Week 1, Day 1. Open. MLP3 filming.
Summer washes her hands after finishing the glitter-effects on another bad guy extra who is going to get blasted by ponies. She hates the way everything feels all sticky and oily, hates the idea of covering up even more. When you've got it, flaunt it.
She's got it, and she's definitely flaunting it. Daisy dukes, thong sandals, midriff-baring knotted blouse... She looks like she belongs on set as a secondary heroine instead of in the makeup trailers.
You act like it, too.
Shut up, Hunter. No one asked you, she thinks irritably. "Ugh. Anyone else need glittering?"

A Hispanic man, something on the short side, with skin that's on the lighter end of the scale, short, spiky hair, and a scar on the right side of his face that by itself screams 'thug' lifts his right hand. "Yo," he starts. "Scene's a bit later, so I figured I'd let the other guys go first."

"Come on down." Summer points to the chair at her station. Supplies are all laid out, including an airbrush. Photos and sketches stuck to the edges of the mirror show what be-glittered baddies should look like. Except, in the lower right hand corner, there is a picture of a young man who looks a lot like Summer.
She takes a moment to shake water off her hands and flip her ponytail back. Assuming S sits down as indicated, she takes hold of him by the chin and twists his face around, studying how the light falls on his skin. "Hnh. Blue and orange for you."
Manhandling Agent S with permission.

S takes in all the pictures. All of them, including that one in the lower right hand corner, as he sits down. He shrugs. "You're the expert," he declares, allowing his head to be tilted and moved about. He frowns a moment, thoughtful, as though remembering something. "You're a new one to the make-up team, aren't you?"

"Yeah. Summer O'Nion. That's Oh-ny-hon." Summer steps back and picks through her foundations. She pulls a few out, dabs them on his face, hnhs, washes them off, tries a different set. This one's more to her liking.
With that, she proceeds to apply her foundations, first smearing directly from the tube then using a brush to blend the different colors.
"You?" she adds as an afterthought.

"Jose Carillo," he answers, not that he expects Summer to remember it. But even if she does, it shouldn't be much of a problem for him. He allows his head to be moved around as necessary for Summer to apply the make-up, though at one point his gaze darts to the picture again. He let's it become obvious which one he's looking at.
"That your boyfriend?" he asks, idly nosy.

When it comes to remembering names and faces, Summer cheats. She lets Hunter do the remembering. All it takes is a little 'ping' to get his attention, then he borrows her eyes while she tells him Jose's name.
"My brother," she says frostily.

The memory-share trick would be a lot more useful, of course, if 'Jose' had given his real version of either. "Ah! Sorry about that!" he apologizes quickly. "Ah... just trying to make conversation." He chuckles nervously. "Close to him, huh? Must be nice," he chatters. "I've got a large family. Three brothers, two sisters, but I'm younger than most of them. Always saw having to take care of me as a burden, you know?"

Addison is speaking rather heatedly into his cell phone as he walks into the makeup area. He appears to be arguing with someone over the quality of the wine available in his trailer.
"Yes, I realize that is the standard available per the catering contract, but it is frankly terrible! I'm not asking for you to spend money on something else. I merely want you people to pick up something palatable, send it over, and bill me for it, for god's sake!"
Addison ends the call and flashes a smile at Summer as he flops gracefully into an available chair. He's early, but hey. Why not come chat up the cute makeup girl, hmm?

Yes, a lot of things do work better on people other than Agent S. Curse his sexy shapechanging skills!
"I couldn't imagine life without him," Summer admits. She relaxes as she works on his face, bringing out his good features and highlighting the scar. "Our parents didn't want us. They said they did, but they sure didn't act it."
She stops when Addison comes in, nods at him. "Mr. Payne."

S would be perfectly happy for Addison to flirt with Summer! And then he could just sit there and listen to them both and let himself be be-glittered.
At Summer's answer, S frowns sympathetically, which might not be the best idea given that she's putting make-up on him. "I am sorry to hear about that," he says. "Though it's nice that you have someone, at least."
Of course, S has his doubts that their parents even know about them. The records are so odd...

Addison Payne does not yet know that he is descended from fae linage and that his very presence inspires others to cater to his whims or to find him insanely attractive. Addison only knows that he's used to warmer greetings from women than he gets from Summer. Perhaps she is just being professional.
Either way, he isn't after her as a conquest. He's just here for his makeup job. This scene calls for more glitter and glam (and rainbow explosions) than any other scene previous.
He's missed the meat of the conversation, catching only Jose's last comments. Rather than attempt to contribute to a conversation of which he knows nothing, Addison instead says to Summer, "You're new to the makeup team, if I recall, but the work I've seen from you has been quite nice." He looks over at the be-glittered man in the makeup chair and asks, "Tell me, Jose, does she have a gentle hand?"

One kind of has to wonder if the two Hunters have different blogs, or if they've both got the same blog. Reality is a bit of a gnarled mess around the three O'Nions.
Summer steps back to look over Jose critically. He needs more glitter, she thinks, but not too much more. That would be overdoing it.
"It's one of the many things I'm good at," she says to Addison as she turns away to look at her glitter. Hmm. Maybe one of the big crystals. She could glue a few of them to Jose's face.

Man, in person, Addison is distractingly handsome, isn't he?
Were S thinking clearly about the issue, he'd probably think it kind of strange, since he generally doesn't find anyone to be distractingly anything.
"Nnnn. Very gentle," Jose observes, answering Addison's question softly.

Addison is The Sexy. Why, if you don't find him attractive, you must not find humans attractive at all! He smiles and chuckles softly, "Glad to hear it. Some of the makeup crew treats us less like a canvas for their art and more like side of beef." "How have you enjoyed being part of the MLP crew so far, Summer?"
