Part 17: Chapter XII. Pinecone!

Chapter XII. Pinecone!

Kiki always wanted to be a model, and I think the fact that I beat her to it with a week of modelling made her jealous and angry. And if there's one thing I can't stand, it's when my friends or jealous and angry. Clearly, something had to be done.

I decided the best way to make Kiki a model was to talk to Elliot beforehand and say I wanted to make her a model. He, being the excellent... agent... uh... I wasn't even really sure what he did for a job title - but whatever - he being excellent at it, he decided I should set up the shoot.

I really didn't have to tell any of you that, I'm sure.

Anyway, it was also really important for me to procure a pinecone.



Ah, Erica. I should just ignore her whenever she speaks to me.



Now I couldn't just go to meet Hippie. That'd be STUPID.



So I went to see Elliot instead.



Do you have anything for me?
I don't think so.
Are you sure?



Sure.



And with that, I had a pinceone. I was halfway there.

Okay, talk to you later.

I went back and Erica said:



But I just ignored her.



Time to call Hippie!



It's big brother!



Haha! Okay, so I decided to call her back.

It's your phone, Hippie.
Whoa. That's crazy.
Yeah, can you set up some equipment for Kiki's photo shoot today?
Right on.
You promise?
Of course.



Good thing I made her promise - otherwise she wouldn't be ready later!



Anyway, now to call Kiki!

Kiki?
Rrmmmph.
Please get up.
I'm awake.
I don't believe you.
Five more minutes...
No, get up now!



Golden Line time!



Okay, okay. I'm up and out of bed! Happy?
Yes. I'll be over in a few minutes.



Now off to go see Kiki.



Hey, wow! What a coincidence! This scene was EXACTLY LIKE RIGHT BEFORE MY DATE WITH CONOR! I had to brush her hair, give her the shoes (Go-go boots) and... do the.. make-up. Why do I feel like I hear a man crying in the distance? Anyway! Here's some highlights:



Time to go!



Now to call Shana.



Shana?
Leave me alone!
Me?
Why won't you stop ringing?
Shana!!!
Hello?
Shana, it's Becky.
Becky? Man, I can't figure out this newfangled contraption.
Right... Listen, I need your help.



And off to-



But you promised!



NOW off to Shana! Hippie! Whatever?

Hey man, what's the haps on the snaps?
Yes...

And then Kiki did her shoot.



Quick, take this portfolio off my hands before they consume all my good karma!



Just so we're clear - I'm not doing some weird joke. This happens after every single dealing with a person in this chapter and you never have the option to actually answer Erica.

Off to Elliot!



Oh, come on!

Great.
And the shoot went well.
Yes
And you have the photos?
Yes

So I gave him Kiki's modeling portfolio.

Thank you very much.
What do you think?

We both thought about it.



What?



He... he had to be kidding.


job. Goodbye.

OH FUCK YOU SPRUNG.

...

Oh good! He was kidding!



And?



Yay! This made me happy!



You two are going to be the coolest ladies on the mountain!

With a pinecone and $100, what could possibly go wrong?!



There! You have your fuckin' fanservice! Can I close this piece-of-shit already?! Elliot wasn't kidding; you forget the fuckin' blush or something and you have to re-do the whole goddamned stage!
