Nathaniel emerged from his hotel room with a relaxed expression, he was incredibly excited to start his day of work for Fernando, although he was still rather unclear as to what the gentleman expected of him. For once he had a plan, rather a schedule for how he could and would be keeping time.

Normally his ritual consisted of looking for work on a request board or checking in with various members of the community for work. He was community driven, yet a lone wolf, he shared a lot about his Encan culture, but not much of himself, yet Fernando for some reason found it in him to trust him and to that end he would be there when he needed him.

Throwing a jacket over his T-shirt, as to at least not look like a stranger in these lands, he stepped forward confidently towards Fernando's boutique. The snow crunching beneath his feet as he walked his way over to shop to begin his day.

Arriving Nat was caught off guard by the hustle and bustle, it was so unusual compared to how his shop usually was. There were a number of people running in and out carrying clothes, measuring tape, needles and pins it was absolutely insane. The snow around the shop was beaten flat, crushed beneath the weight of Fernando's high expectations, or rather the expectations carried by the staff. The man himself was easy to find, he kept his voice louder than the traffic and his tall stature put him leagues above the crowd. The man waved him over before beginning to explain to him what was going on. In front of everyone Nathaniel was given the run down, what went where, who did what and he gave him a few introductions to random members of his staff before pulling him deeper into the boutique with a more serious expression.

Fernando detected foul play.

His expression soured as he explained to him a number of disingenuous actions he and his staff had noticed across a number of the models. Holes cut in clothes, shoes glued to the floor and a number of people given the incorrect time for various parts of rehearsal.

Nathaniel was a bit confused, but he didn't actually know the people he found much more beyond the fact that they were attractive. A few were foreigners and two of them were twins this made it a little complicated because Nathaniel had no real understanding of any of their behaviors, making it a little more complicated to discover things secretly.

A moment or two would pass before Nathaniel came up with a rough plan of action, facing down the man with a serious expression he extended his hand for a firm shake.

Whether he liked it or not he was about to unearth whatever secrets these models were hiding behind their beautiful, well dressed exteriors.

It was annoying and time consuming, but Nathaniel's plan was to inspect every contestant, one at a time and ask them about their interactions with each other and what they have experienced on the set so far. While not ideal, he would have to find moments where they were isolated which meant he would likely not have results until the end of the day. It was strange for Nathaniel to have gone from Encan hunter, to mage to essentially a private investigator and model recruiter. First on his list were the three foreigners, he knew nothing about even where they hailed now that he thought of it, unless he simply forgot after their conversation which was...likely.

Nathaniel discovered they were from Minstrel, two from various noble families and the last a guide hired on from Minstrel to escort the two around. They were the first victims, they had their outfits cut in various places and found that their shoes had been stuck to the ground. They didn't explicitly mention their part in any strange acts, but they did mention revenge a few times or rather in Minstrel they don't take those kinds of things lying down. Nathaniel talked about how he would have done something as well, and managed to catch them admitting they did in fact involve themselves in a few no-good deeds.

Reporting what he found to Fernando, the man wanted to act immediately, but since they had retaliated Nathaniel figured it didn't start with them and it would be wise to continue investigating the twins next.

Nodding and sending him off, Nathaniel moved on his next targets.

Nathaniel waited outside the door to a few change rooms, the girls came out shortly seeming a bit disheartened, well one more so than the others. Playing the room, he inquired as to what could make them feel as down as they appeared, it wasn't like they weren't having a good time right? Interviewing them next he discovered they both also claimed to have been acted upon first, one girl seeming a bit more upset about the whole thing while her sister seemed much sadder over the affair.

During the interview, the other three managed to show up, catching Nathaniel and the twins off guard as an argument erupted between the three and a single twin. The other covered her ears and began to place herself closer to the corner to avoid the fight. Nat attempted several times to quell the debacle, but the 4 of them were so emotional before they began to expose their own exploits against each other. Awkwardly, the first person was one of the Minstrel trio, using the guise off one of the twins to get at the other noble.

Within a few moments, Nathaniel lifted and slammed his sword down, summoning a strong breeze that stopped the shouting, only to find Fernando appear behind him clapping. With a wave of the hands he had the 4 of them dismissed, removed by men in black suits who came from seemingly nowhere. Fernando reached out to lift the young woman from the corner, calming her and setting her up as the single model for the entire event. Fernando clapped his hands to announce a change to the staff in the back of the boutique, but before he did he handed Nat a bag, a wink and his thanks once more.
