♬ Sparks Fly - Taylor Swift

WHO || Finnick and Taylor Swift!!11 [Closed]
WHAT || Finnick's manager forces him to make Taylor Swift fall in love with him so she'll write a nasty song about him and increase his fame quotient. Really.
WHERE || ~The Beach~ somewhere
WHEN || Thur, March 28th, 2013.
HOW || Actionspam.

There's no business like show business.

Must be how Finnick got himself roped into this one.  Desperate to make Finnick into a platinum artist with his upcoming tour, Burt's arranged to win him a date with superstar Taylor Swift: and Finnick is under orders to woo the girl, and then break her heart so that it will specifically make headlines, make his name more of a household item, and garner a Grammy-winning song... all about him.

Whatever sells albums, and keeps NOVA from falling into the hands of Burt's eviler brother Chad, Finnick's willing to do... but in pure Burt Becksworth fashion, this is a new level of tacky and horrifying.

[She doesn't have a great feeling about this one. Not even her new overpriced "vintage" style dress from Modcloth is helping her feel confident. Having your mother for a manager means that sometimes things like arranged dates with the best of intentions turns into a knot of nerves and trying to escape paparazzi cameras on the beach for long enough to make a decent impression.

She's never heard of this guy, which is good. Maybe he's decent, unlike Jake or Harry or any of the other ones.

Maybe he'll be special and she won't have to betray her country roots to write a catchy pop number about him.

She's waiting for her date behind some big rocks on the beach, because this is one of those super romantic locations with lots of huge jagged rocks and freezing cold water. Nothing says love like nature's metaphors for all of her cold, rocky past relationships. She figures she'll be easy enough to spot, what with all the cameras nearby.]

[he watched her 22 video ok. he knows all she wants to do is hang around at the beach doing dumb shit all like ~lol i'm 22~. and he just likes the beach, so it seemed like the perfect choice. if there are cameras nearby, he doesn't notice them (or is able to act naturally around them, anyway. he learned that early.) he just glides his way over to her -- as much as one can glide over sand, anyway.]

I didn't realize it'd be so cold. Would you rather go somewhere else, or ... ? [look at that charming smile. he could never hurt you, gurl. also look at how sexy and shirtless he is.]

[So in Brandi's email this notif went straight to the spam folder and I never saw it was my turn until I came to peek manually. ANYWAY. Yes. There's a lot of initial swooning at that charming smile, but she still knows that's the smile of all the other boys she's seen.

It's a celebrity smile, okay. She's used to them, she gives them on a daily basis.]

What?

[She laughs, shaking her head.]

This is fine, I just -

[She nods over toward the cameras.]

Think you can figure out a way to ditch them?

[She manages to make that sound almost alluring, as if there's going to be a reason she doesn't want those damn cameras around. Spoiler: she's a cocktease I just decided this.]

[it's ok this tag then got lost at the bottom of my inbox in a ton of tag bedrock. this thread is just on the struggle bus p much.]

I'm not actually good at all of ... this. [s-so sheepishchan. it's true though.] Maybe a huge tidal wave will come in and sweep them away. [and now he's s-so charming.]
