"Haha, this pose?" Riho Futaba held a beach ball above her head, stretching her arms up high above her. The position revealed every detail of her sky-blue bikini. Photographers aimed their cameras at her, taking full-body shots as she smiled.
Snap!
The model looked to the cloudless sky over Minako Island. "Aww, the sun is great!" The cameras tilted to a low angle, from behind her. They had a perfect angle of the swimsuit snugly complimenting her butt. Taking center frame, her firm, toned rear glistened in shimmering sunlight and saltwater.
Snap!
Wobbling into a martial arts stance, with her fists up in guard, she glimpsed at the staff for approval. "How about an action shot? After all, we're in the birthplace of karate! One, two... Hyah-!" Her long, smooth leg lifted in a swift cheerleader kick, sending sand flying out onto the summer wind. It was so energetic and graceful, nobody had the heart to tell Riho that karate was actually invented a few islands away.
Snap!
A baby crab scurried across the sand. Curious, Riho leaned in closer, letting her generous chest hang low - and suddenly, it pinched her nose! She giggled, shaking uncontrollably to let the critter loose. In the process, her breasts bounced to and fro.
Snap!
"Done already?" With a sip of water, and a yawn, the subject of the snapshots wiped her warm caramel hair, bathed in the sweltering Okinawan sun. "Okay! Great job, everyone!" While the rest of the crew gathered to get coffee, chat, and review their work, she wandered off to explore and unwind. The smell of algae, the scrunch of little sandy pellets, the shade of the palm trees - they all called out to her.
Riho was lucky to have a photo shoot on the tropical beaches of Minako, Okinawa. She glanced in the distance, past pleasant hills and trees, a few tall buildings peeked up. Mainly hotels, restaurants, and stores: filled with tourists eager to experience the sunniest spot in Japan. Visitors filled the area, all the way across the other dunes, over to the seas. But thanks to a deal organized with her talent agency - The D3 Group - this up-and-coming model got a little private chunk of the beach, entirely to herself for the day. The life of an idol was busy and cramped; so Riho savored the opportunity to take it slow for a while, simply basking in the rays.
However, her peaceful break wasn't to last.
From the ocean's depths, a small creature writhed onto the sandy shore. It shivered in discomfort from the sunlight assaulting its grey shell. Slowly, its yellow eyes narrowed in on the woman in blue; it made a beeline to her, dragging its long purple tentacles.
Hearing something approach, Riho turned to see the strange being, right next to her sandal's heel. "Huh?" She peered closer to investigate. "A jellyfish-crab-thing?" The model reached a hand out cautiously...
And the beast jabbed her!
Snap!
Within a shocked breath, the model's body felt unbalanced. The world rolled and tilted at strange angles, blurring in garish colors. That stinger must've held an intense venom! Numbness shot through her right arm, and soon her left, like a cold stream. The sickening pain traversed her bosom; her wide hips; into her buckling legs; up her slender neck; and finally to her head. Too weak to stand, or even focus, Riho simply flopped like a rag doll towards the soft ground...
THUD
Thanks to the girl's sauntering walk, everyone else was too far away to see (or hear) her fall. Sprawled out on the empty white expanse, her head descended sideways. Her energy left her, consciousness fading. The last thing Riho saw before falling into a deep sleep was that purple alien-thing flying towards the city. The buildings drifted further into the distance; and yet, seemed strangely...
...smaller...
