Develop some photos!

After everyone has their drink, your group stands and watches Yiiv hold up your camera with pride shone in her toothy grin. She gestures with her empty hand towards the printer, which now rests beside the hefty bag you were tasked with bringing. The device itself looks a little different this time upon closer inspection. That isn't a surprise, however. Yiiv has become obsessed with tweaking these inventions until they're perfect.

Hopefully Ms. Lithvir keeps forcing her to sleep at night.

Yiiv clears her throat. "Before you sits the one and only, Yiiv Branded Printing Device 1.1! Also known as a printer. It's perfectly compatible with the YiivCam 1.0, and now works with paper sizes up to eighteen by twenty-four. It even keeps most of its quality! And get excited, because I have ideas to improve the YiivCam itself. You've really inspired me, Todd. I bet I can make it enhance the size without losing any details at all, and what did you say before? Focusing? I think I may have figured that out too, but we'll have to wait on that one. Either way, it's all ready to go. We can get those babies printed on all sorts of different sizes. Want a Yiivshot of Lady Bianca in your pocket at all times? Easy--"

"Please. Can we just continue?" Bianca interrupts. "I'm growing impatient."

She stares back for a moment. Then with a cocky smirk, she shrugs. "Well, we can always just not develop them at all."

"Excuse me?"

"It seems we're already doing this for free, and you'll be the second person to ever have their own Yiivshots developed, so I'm just saying maybe a bit of respect would be cool and all."

Colour floods over her nose. "You..." But after realizing her position for a moment, she crosses her arms and huffs. "Fine. Finish then."

"Good." She dusts off her hands. "Now, the YBPD, or printer if you want to be boring, is actually quite simple. All you do is insert the YiivCam like so, and then place the paper right here. We can actually look at rough versions of each Yiivshot, and decide what we want to do. So come on over, Bianca. It's all in your hands."

She nods. Bianca steps over, pulls her hair away from her face, and leans in close to stare into the preview screen. "Outstanding," she whispers. "I admit, this is all incredibly impressive."

After noticing that everybody is staring in silence, Yiiv turns and flicks her wrist. "All of you go do something while we do this. You're making her feel awkward."

"Even me?" Ms. Lithvir asks.

"Yeah! Go mingle with Todd while we sort through everything. It'll take a little bit."

She smiles at you sweetly. "I do not mind that. Your company is always pleasant, Mr. Hayes."

Skip brings his hand back over the lengthy ears atop his head. "So, you guys just live here then? What an odd group. I mean, not in a bad way. You've just kinda shown up, and now everything feels a lot more exciting, Todd. Whatever it is you're from, I'd like to visit there sometime. I bet it's wild."

The elf pulls her arms politely together, which nudges her large tits together. "Are these camera devices Yiiv helped improve common there, Mr. Hayes?"

"Oh yeah," you reply. "Basically everyone has one, and they're even more advanced than Yiiv's. I just have no knowledge on how to actually build one from scratch. Anyway, magic isn't so much of a thing there, so honestly, it might end up even better."

"No magic? Weird," Skip says.

Of course, those two girls know where I'm from. Sort of. They don't know much about it, but Skip here hasn't a clue I'm not from this world. Is that something I can just bluntly state? Probably not a great idea to get into too much detail, especially considering where I first appeared and who the girls were working for.

"Done!" Yiiv shouts from the table with her hand high in the air. "We have her portrait."

You step over to inspect what she decided to pick. Of all you took, she chose one of the final ones you took. It's when she was turns around, gazing back, teasing her shoulder. It's quite a bold image, and it's framed quite well if you do say so yourself. For a portrait, it's appropriate. Only the upper part of her body is present, but besides her shoulder, the face is still the focus despite her angle. It shows beauty, yet a distant coldness. But in that coldness there's something more. You can see it in the eye that's visible. Perfect!

"I love it," you say. "I think that'll look amazing put into a proper frame."

Bianca places her hand down against the large piece of paper. She's speechless for a lengthy moment. "That's... me," she whispers.

"I'm glad you like it."

She turns to you. A smile appears softly on her face. "Yes. Thank you again, Hayes. I would like to repay you. This is truly outstanding. But at the same time, I'd like for you to do me one last favour."

Yiiv rubs her hands together. "Big fortune incoming. Finally, I can fund my work even further."

Bianca continues. "I'd like you to sell my photos. All the rest of them, in any way you'd like. Do as you did with that rodent girl. I want everybody in town to own a shot of me in their home."

"Wait. You're paying us with work?"

"No, no," you interject. "I see. Those photos will make bank. Yeah it's more work, but we'll get more having fully licensing with these images than we'd get from her family actually paying directly. It's like, uh... well, I don't know if this world has trademarks, or copyright, or whatever. Anyway, this is actually really good. We can produce as many of these as we want, so the only overhead is paper. I feel like a TCG company."

"World? TCG?" Bianca places her hand against her cheek. "Well, I do feel a little bad not handing you something directly, so I will offer something. Head to the market come morning time and bring your stock. I'll leave something there for you, and I'll make sure you can't miss it. You don't owe me anything for the photos themselves either."

You look at her closely for a moment. "You are you sure want us to sell all of them?"

Knowing why you ask, she glances away for a moment and blushes. "Yes."

"Well, let me work on the YiivCam in the meantime, Todd," Yiiv butts in. "Then we'll get things printed, and everything will be ready for tomorrow. Why don't you go take a walk and get some fresh air? Ms. Lithvir and I will make sure things are good."

"And I must go for now," says Bianca. "Good luck. And yes... perhaps I would like another photoshoot in the future. That's what you called it, yes?"

Skip laughs and wraps an arm around your shoulder. "Well then! I guess it's a guy's day out. C'mon, man. Let's go leave the hotties alone for awhile."

Yiiv crosses her arms. "Hotties?"

You glance over to her and laugh nervously. "To be fair, you are really cute. Both of you. Though it's probably a little rude to word it that way."

"... I am?" she asks quietly, and then turns to her elven companion.

Sabariel shrugs. "Of course you are. It is so kind of Mr. Hayes to say that you and Lady Bianca are cute."

You scratch your head. "No, I was talking about the two of you.

Bianca glares at you. "And I'm not?"

"I didn't say that! You're all hotties, I swear!"

Skip bursts out laughing. "Oh man. I love you guys so much."
