Issue 1 Downtime

Posted: **Sat Mar 24, 2012 12:19 am**

A very tired Will showed up to his next job of the day. He had been busy!

Posted: **Sat Mar 24, 2012 12:30 am**

"Hello, Mr. Stanton!" the photographer said cheerfully. Perhaps a little too cheerfully "Its so nice to see you. I loved your chocolate advert."

Posted: **Sat Mar 24, 2012 12:31 am**

"Thank you. It's...nice to get noticed."

Posted: **Sun Mar 25, 2012 12:39 am**

"The photographer will be along in a few minutes, meantime, perhaps you'd like to look at the portfolio."

Posted: **Sun Mar 25, 2012 12:43 am**

"I'd love to! It's been a while."

Posted: **Sun Mar 25, 2012 1:02 am**

"We're taking care of the table decoration." she continued "Unless you'd like to do that as well."

Posted: **Sun Mar 25, 2012 1:06 am**

"Hrm--I'm afraid I do not have much practice at the moment being, er, split into multiple objects---I'd rather not at the moment, as I can't guarantee, erm, side effects.

I mean, I suppose I could do one massive thing, as long as nothing was picked up..."

Posted: **Sun Mar 25, 2012 1:34 am**

"Hmmm, best not risk it." she said, lowering her voice "The photographer does like to adjust things.'

Posted: **Sun Mar 25, 2012 1:35 am**

"I'll let you know if it improves in future, but let's focus on the centerpiece."

Posted: **Mon Mar 26, 2012 8:03 pm**

"That sounds good." she replied "Have you been practicing your fondant?"

Posted: **Mon Mar 26, 2012 8:11 pm**

"....yes. Yes I have."

<_<

Posted: **Tue Mar 27, 2012 11:33 pm**

"Excellent!" she said "I'll let you refresh your memory, then, and we'll get started shortly."

Posted: **Tue Mar 27, 2012 11:41 pm**

"I'll be ready!"

____

A few minutes later, he finished up reviewing.

Posted: **Tue Mar 27, 2012 11:50 pm**

"Are you ready to start, Mr. Stanton?" The photographer asked without introduction or preamble.

Posted: **Wed Mar 28, 2012 12:01 am**

"Of course! You wanted the elaborate one, first?"

Posted: **Wed Mar 28, 2012 12:05 am**

"The one with the doves and the piping, yes. Remember, this is supposed to be butter cream, so soft and fluffy looking, not smooth."

Posted: **Wed Mar 28, 2012 12:12 am**

"Right...soft and, er, fluffy..." Will said, concentrating on just that as he shifted.

Posted: **Wed Mar 28, 2012 2:21 pm**

"Perhaps a bit smoother." she said "We hired you because we wanted to avoid the look of melting under the lights, yes."

Posted: **Wed Mar 28, 2012 2:25 pm**

"Of...of course..." Will said, trying to get a bit smoother.

Posted: **Wed Mar 28, 2012 10:08 pm**

"Very nice. Now make the top tier slightly less yellow, and perk up the dove on the second tier."

Posted: **Wed Mar 28, 2012 10:12 pm**

"The one on the left?" Will said, straining at the level of detail.

Posted: **Wed Mar 28, 2012 10:52 pm**

"Yes, the one of the left."

Posted: **Wed Mar 28, 2012 11:06 pm**

Will didn't answer that time, straining--he wasn't used to quite this level of detail. At least, not without cheating.

Posted: **Wed Mar 28, 2012 11:54 pm**

"Good. Now hold that."

Posted: **Wed Mar 28, 2012 11:58 pm**

Will didn't bother responding, trying his hardest to keep the shape without wobbling. Which was difficult! Any extra stress, an he might well fail.

Posted: **Thu Mar 29, 2012 8:47 pm**

She snapped several pictures and then said "Thank you, Mr. Stanton. Now, are you ready for the white fondant with the lace detailing?"

Posted: **Thu Mar 29, 2012 8:48 pm**

Will collapsed back into kinda of a plain-cake shape.

"Yeah just...just give me...give me a moment..."

Posted: **Thu Mar 29, 2012 10:38 pm**

"Are you feeling quite well?"

Posted: **Thu Mar 29, 2012 10:42 pm**

"Yeah...sorry...it's just....a lot of....detail. Hard....work..." Will said, mentally catching breaths.

Posted: **Thu Mar 29, 2012 11:26 pm**

"You said that you'd be able to handle detail. You said that specifically."

Posted: **Thu Mar 29, 2012 11:32 pm**

"And I am...I just...you know, need to rest between.

Details and specific details are different. I can do any level of detail you like, it's the specifics that cause me to work harder. No...no issue, I can do them."

Posted: **Fri Mar 30, 2012 12:08 am**

"Let me know when you're ready."

Posted: **Fri Mar 30, 2012 12:17 am**

"Alr...alright. Let's go..."

Posted: **Fri Mar 30, 2012 11:17 am**

((((Several Hours and Many Cakes later)))))

"Are you ready now? This is the final one, so can you please try to get the fondant right the first time this time?"

Posted: **Fri Mar 30, 2012 11:28 am**

Will barely answered

"Y....yes..."

Posted: **Fri Mar 30, 2012 4:22 pm**

"Alright. now please remember, the colours are magenta and lime green. Lime, not kiwi."

Posted: **Fri Mar 30, 2012 4:32 pm**

Those are the same color

"Lime....Lime. Gotcha, Lime..." Will said, focusing

Posted: **Fri Mar 30, 2012 10:20 pm**

"And that color is much closer to spinach." she snapped.

Posted: **Fri Mar 30, 2012 10:21 pm**

It's all fucking greeN!

"Right...right....lighter..." he strained.

Posted: **Sat Mar 31, 2012 12:24 am**

"The color is fine, but the topper....Honestly, how hard is it to manage a few roses?"
