Mo took stock of the items they were pulling out of the boxes as he examined the cameras provided by the instructor. Not bad... could he use his own? He glanced around for her before deciding he just WOULD use his own. It had regular old film in it that could be developed the same as whatever she had, and it was a new roll.

"So jerseys and... can I wear the goggles? And Benjy should wear the helmet. And brooms... we really need brooms. But yeah... this is a good start." He really wished they had an appropriate back drop. A pitch or a locker room or something Quidditchy, but maybe they could fake it. "Do they have any banners in there? Quidditch ones, or some we can alter? And let's drag over a bench to put in front of bare wall."



"Yeah," Mo flashed a quick and grateful smile at Cat for being a good sport. She was always such a good sport. "You can be in the picture too. I think you and Astrid should do that sort of lazy model pose where you lean against each other, and you can hide your sling behind her body. We'll position you so it looks like we can see you, but really you're hidden. Or we can put the jersey over top of it and leave the sleeve empty."

But she was going to be in the picture. Period. "If we can get two brooms, that should be plenty."

Even if Astrid never really tried getting an arm injury, it seemed awful because then she wouldn't be able to play Quidditch or do much with an arm on a sling. But then... Quidditch injury? For some reason, that made Astrid feel better about the whole broken arm thing. "Doesn't it show how strong a person is?" Just to lift the mood up. Astrid hated seeing people down because it made her feel sad too, apparently.

Ooooh. Goggles! "Nice," Astrid said and gave a thumbs up to Benjy. That was cool. They'll be needing the goggles for the photoshoot. So far, they had a jersey (which could be duplicated, yeah?), a few helmets, and goggles. Everything could be duplicated anyway. But for the brooms? She'd dug a little bit more but... nothing. "None. Should we ask Miss Courwell in case she has a few?" Better to be sure and ask someone who knew. Maybe they could ask her if they had the backgrounds too? A Quidditch-y background seemed better than just the plain white one to give it more of a sporty feel.

Astrid heard of that lazy model pose. She's seen lots of models do that. Did that specific pose have a name? While that question's answer remained a mystery, she was going to call that the 'lazy model pose', thanks to Mo. "I'm okay with that pose." So that Cat could hide her broken arm? It would be unfair if she wasn't on the photoshoot.

Okay, maybe not the real 'glamour shoot' double page spread photos, but it wasn't like injuries were hidden in the magazines. But then Mo came up with a great suggestion, and Benjy nodded. "Or that's a great idea too." Even if he wasn't sure where he'd fit in round a 'lazy model pose'. Sounded a bit, well, personal with the two girls. Maybe he'd watch that bit?

And hang on, had Mo said Benjy should wear the helmet? Benjy gave his Captain a playful nudge with his elbow. "You suggesting my hair isn't gonna cut it?" He shook his head lightly. "I dunno..." Actually, he didn't mind at all. Least he wouldn't risk twanging those goggles on his face. Vintage wasn't exactly Benjy, nuh-uh.

Going back to rummaging in the props box, Benjy pulled out a large flag with the Union Jack on it. "We could go for national team status," he said, holding it up with a grin. It'd work as a sort of banner, no? He draped it over the nearby wooden bench they'd be using. Still no broom to be found though.

Unless...was that a toy broom over there? "Astrid, what's that bit of wood sticking up? Just by your left hand?" If it was a toy broom, they could always enlarge it. Or use perspective to good effect. Or something. There was a reason he was in charge of kit and not styling...
