Jackie, Saila, and Desdenova arrived bright and early... okay, maybe somewhat disgruntley and around elevenish... to open up their spectacular Steam Punk Photo Booth!
A wooden facade led into a wide tent with a few changing booths and a few racks of steam punk style clothing. At the rear of the tent was where the magic happened. Literally!
Saila helped with the costumes, drawing on her experience with the theater, and figuring anything that looked good together would answer for steam punk. She was usually right.
Jackie manned the camera, which was really a nice Nikon digital, but she'd stuffed it into an old box camera frame. Meaning she often was reaching into the box as she lined up the shots.
Desdenova flopped on a comfy old wing back chair, and as the clients stepped to the stage area, he cast an illusion to match the costume, more or less.
First on the stage was Fae, giggling and gleeful as Saila found her the *perfect* costume, and then Bratzilla made it *Better* when he animated the mechanical tentacles and created a nice building front for her to climb.

"...I think that may have been a bad idea," Saila reported to Jackie and Desdenova as Fae escaped the booth, trundling along on six mecha-legs, still chortling and waving around a ray pistol.
"No, I think it's okay, I mean, Fae IS a fae, and... uhm. Fae's like chaos?" Jackie replied, determined not to let one little issue wreck their day.
The May Queen herself, Jewell, entered soon after, and Jackie and Saila were thrilled, gleefully garbing the woman for her photo. Jackie gave Desdenova a glower that said 'Don't muff this!'. Desdenova made a face back at her. He wouldn't spaz on Miss Jewell.
On purpose.

Cool as a cucumber and sleekly dangerous, Jewell posed in the darkness of some factory with a somewhat human sized dragon as escort.
Much to Desdenova's surprise, the dragon introduced himself as Frank Flashfire, and graciously offered to act as Jewell's body guard.
"...Okay, that... was weird," Jackie decided, but it didn't really count as muffing the shot or anything.
Humorously curious, Vinny poked his head into the booth next. He seemed an average businessman, though Jackie and Saila noticed that a few pretty ladies were whispering and swooning over him. And he WAS pretty hot, for an old guy.
Deciding he had that Harrison Ford vibe going, Jackie pointed out a few items for Saila to pass to Vinny. Desdenova waited till the man was on the stage before casting a sky-boat for Vinny to pose heroically on.
Unfortunately, those ladies that had been giggling and swooning over Vinny decided right about then to ~casually~ follow after him, and got caught in the spell...

Hopefully, Vinny was able to lose them in the crowd pretty quickly.
