Mr. Perle: “... But the appointment is slated for one, dear, so until then it’s just you and I…”





Mr. Perle: “... and the documents from Branson’s department… *ahem* … won’t take me but fifteen minutes if you keep quiet. The cafe it is. You like their salads–sensible girl.”





Mr. Perle: “As a reminder, I expect you to establish rapport with our guests this evening. I have it on good authority Mr. Daggory is quite fond of young people, and I expect we shall find him susceptible to your charms…”





Mr. Perle: *Heh* “As are we all, but I can hardly be jealous of my own bullet’s trajectory, hm?”





Mr. Perle: “Just ensure there are no misfires. Everything is riding on…





Mr. Perle: “...”





Mr. Perle: “Nervous, sweetheart?”





Gladys: “N-no.”

Mr. Perle: “You ought be. It's unsafe to dawdle in public.”





Mr. Perle: “Now, the Daggorys are primarily in shipping logistics, but my research has revealed they own racehorses. When introductions are made, I will open, and then endeavour to occupy our other guests…”





Mr. Perle: “While you work your clever spell on the patriarch. Remember, Dolly. Body language.”





Mr. Perle: “Should all else fail, you know what to do. You will not lose me this client. Understood?”

Gladys: “Yes, Mr. Perle.”





Mr. Perle: “... That’s my girl.”

THE END

 

@Rosslyn Thanks so much. You know, when making notes before doing something like this I try to suggest 'so-and-so blurred in foreground, focus on x' type stuff, but in the end I never know what it'll look like until I'm actually peering through the camera lens. Still learning.

@hobbywhelmed I love how that is possible with these dolls, despite the static expressions.

@Yuu-Hanabusa That is very generous praise and makes me happy to hear, thank you!

@MistyZenith Thank you, it is a bit fussy doing anything with their eyes, but just getting down really low with the camera helps them look bigger. I was on knees and elbows on a public sidewalk for far too long to make this.

@animemom There's still hope! Poor guy is still battling his own demons, but he wants to help her...

@Errantry I was really excited to start unveiling Mr. Perle. He is a pretty nasty person, but I have always had fun getting into his terrible thought processes. He's got his own little reality going on in his head, for sure. Yes, a smart girl would do some snooping and make sure everything is in order. Just in case.

I have so many photostories in my queue postponed due to missing pieces. I picked this one just because it was possible and could sorta float in the timeline. When I have more completed, maybe I'll rearrange the release order somewhat for narrative flow. It could be these two have had a falling out and haven't spoken in a while, and she wasn't even sure he was okay. Or it's just a snapshot of the relationship and having to ignore one another in public. (From sometime before Perle found out Uriah was his son? Or maybe his eyesight is just that poor. )

I am so happy you managed to see some depth in what began as continuity errors due to losing a race with the sun. I'll accept the praise, but I won't pretend I planned it that way.

@JL_The_Lion Your comments mean a lot to me-- thank you.

 

@nyaaain So glad you like them! There is more Lysander ahead. He's currently having a new wig made, though, so I can't say what the very next installment will be. I've been working on a 1/3 scale set, and eventually I'd like to set up his and Gail's dorm room inside, which will open up more possibilities.

Thanks! I would have loved a helper, but this was all me. The advantage of shooting on concrete is that it's a predictable surface--and Uriah is actually a very good stander--but the dolls are being reinforced/propped up by thick wires that have been either carefully angled behind them or edited out. There is a bit of risk if a joint were to shift suddenly, but that isn't super likely with them all strung tightly, sueded and wired. Sudden gusts of wind might be a problem, though; that split second where you might have to choose who is most important to save...

Honestly, the biggest obstacle is time. I have three young children and even a photoset this small takes hours to shoot. Hard to get away. But it's a huge treat for me.
