The black-haired director smiled. "I'm glad you're so excited for this photo shoot, Cass. Our sponsors requested you by name, and have very high hopes for the end result. Thankfully, this should also be one of the most cathartic and stress-relieving shoots you've ever done.
Cass' eyes widened appreciatively. "Well, that does sound amazing!"
Cass wasn't exactly sure how a photo shoot could be 'cathartic', but she was eagerly anticipating such a shoot. Cass had had a pretty stressful and annoying few weeks leading up to this shoot. From backed-up plumbing in her house, miserably hot California weather, more annoying perverts trying to hit on her at the beach than normal, and a California-based modeling director who'd scammed her out of a few promises, Cass' stress level was very high.
A shorter, younger woman scurried up beside Steph, her more demure demeanor indicating that she was probably Steph's assistant.
Steph clarified. "This is Izzy, my assistant. She'll take Matt, since he's so eager to take part, and get him ready for his contributing role in today's shoot. Meanwhile, you'll come with me for your outfit change and get a bit of gear before heading into the studio!"
Cass grinned in excitement, delicately passing you off to Izzy before following along at Steph's heels, walking down the nearest hallway. You watched as Cass left, a sudden sense of foreboding welling up within you. Steph was taking a huge leap by assuming you actively wanted to participate in Cass' modeling efforts. Perhaps you could clear things up with Izzy?
You turned to look up at Izzy, only for the words to fizzle out as you beheld the younger girl's grin.
"U-Uh...um..." You stammered, unnerved by her facial expression. She was like a cat that had just caught its prey, and you'd seen that look on way too many sadistic women in the past. "I-I actually don't want to--"
You were silenced by Izzy chuckling darkly as she clenched her hand around you, her tight grip crumpling you flat in her fist. As your squishy body became malleable gunk in her fist, the assistant walked away somewhere, carrying you off to god knows where. You tried to twitch and vibrate to attempt to wiggle free, but her grip on you was simply too strong.

Cass tugged the last bit of her new outfit into place, smiling at how snuggly it cradled her curves and accentuated her body. Cass was far from some of the other narcissistic models she worked with who believed themselves to be goddesses among lesser beings, and she was usually pretty humble. That didn't mean she was oblivious to her sex appeal, and Cass certainly had the body-positive to enjoy showing off her beauty.
The bikini she'd been given by Steph was doing exactly that. A brighter yellow-gold to contrast with Cass' own richly golden brown tanned skin (courtesy of the warm California sun and plenty of weekly tanning sessions), the bikini really brought out Cass' hazel eyes and accentuated her bright blonde hair. It was showy, for sure, glistening with little white sparkles and (probably fake) gemstones along the hemline. It was also showy in the skin department, the triangle-shaped cups of the top covering perhaps 20% of Cass' total breast flesh, and the bottoms more like a flossing thong than anything else. Still, it was exceptionally comfortable, and very beautiful!
Cass grinned at Steph, who nodded appreciatively. "You look gorgeous, Cass. It's not hard to see why you're such a popular model."
Your aunt blushed. "Thank you, Steph. That's very kind. I take it we're doing a beach or poolside shoot?"
"Not at all, actually. This is just the outfit our sponsors wanted you to wear." Steph checked her notes on her clipboard. "Have you...ever heard of 'Attack of the 50-Foot Woman'?"
Cass tapped her chin. "Um...that's a movie, right? I don't know anything else about it."
"Then we're all in for a treat." Steph smiled warmly, and Cass missed the mischievous glint in the woman's eye. "Anyway, I've got a pair of earbuds here for you, if you can put them on." She handed Cass two small, flesh-toned earbuds, that your aunt eagerly slipped into place.
Cass blinked. "Ooh, snug! And I think I heard some sort of beeping?"
"You did. That was the earbuds connecting with my microphone. Not only will those earbuds block out smaller noises and obstructing sounds, but they'll enable you to hear me when you're in the studio. It's a small studio, so I'll be in the other room watching on cameras, but I'll be able to talk to you, and you can respond thanks to the microphone included in the buds. The battery will definitely last too. Honestly, they're the best earbuds on the market!"
Cass grinned. "Wonderful! Should we get started?" From around the corner, Izzy came bustling over. The assistant gave her boss a quick nod and a wink.
Steph returned Cass' grin. "We shall! I'll lead the way."
*****
You truly, utterly, had no idea where you were...and it wasn't because you were trapped in darkness or some other mess like that.
No, you were in what appeared to be a normal hotel lobby...except it was scaled to your size!
It didn't make any sense. Upon closer inspection, all the furniture seemed to be plastic and fake, like it was just added in for decoration and appearances sake, and not functionality or utility. Some tiny hopeful part of your brain wanted to believe the assistant Izzy had taken you to a nice room for affected visitors to relax in, but you'd seen that glint in her eye on Jenna's face a thousand times.
What was even weirder was that you could see two other affected in the same room as you, though both of them were staring vacantly at the walls, or hugging their knees and trembling. They looked positively terrified. Glancing at the window, you could see what looked like even more plastic buildings and a mock-up of a city street. Deciding to stop waiting around for answers, you pushed through the fake doors and stepped out into...
...something wholly unexpected.
*****
The door to the modeling studio closed behind Cass as she entered, and as her eyes adjusted to the light, she gasped in surprise at what lie before her.
The room, which was approximately thirty-by-thirty feet in a square, was almost entirely taken up by a doll-sized city. From skyscrapers, to hotels, to apartment complexes, to restaurants and businesses, the fake city had it all. The roads were populated with little toy cars, plastic shrubbery, and everything else one would expect in a fictional city. Obviously toy-sized, as even the tallest building only came up to Cass' butt.
Your aunt's eyes widened even further as she noticed all the affected people milling about in the city, some looking up at her in awe, and some running around.
Cass bit her lip. "Um...this is...different."
Steph's warm laugh tickled in her ear. "I thought it might be. You've never taken part in one of our very popular Mega-Monster videos, have you? They're some of our most popular video-form content."
Cass worried her lip. "Uh, no. I haven't. It sounds a little...violent."
"Trust me, there's nothing more cathartic and stress-relieving than starring in one of these videos. You'll be playing a gigantic version of yourself, pretending that this toy city is a normal human city that you tower over. After being doused in chemical radiation, you've grown to a huge size, and are taking revenge on the people that live in the city that experimented on you. You won't be satisfied until the whole thing is stomped to the ground!"
Cass winced. "Goodness, I would never do something that violent!"
"It's all acting, Cass!" Steph assured her. "No one will actually be hurt. All those tinies at your feet? They're all paid actors who signed up willingly for this. They love these types of shoots! There's no hard feelings, right? It's all acting!"
Cass still looked anxious, but nodded. "Oh, okay. That makes sense. Why...are they yelling and screaming? I think I see their mouths moving, but can't hear them."
"Acting, remember? Plus, they aren't actually making noise. We wouldn't want them to drown out our main star, and the whole studio has camera angels and mics to pick you up. We'll add some silly screams in post."
(Of course, almost every word out of Steph's mouth was a blatant lie. The fifty or so tinies trapped in the miniature city had been duped into coming here. They were mostly college-aged, grabbed up by Izzy. Izzy had set up a table on campus advertising the opportunity for aspiring affected actors to work alongside gorgeous models, and she'd lured fifty suckers in only an hour. They'd been trapped in a box at Vivid Videos for the past week, and were finally being let out. And, of course, the reason Cass couldn't hear them was because her earbuds were specially designed tiny-cancelling earbuds made to drown out the voices of the affected.)
Cass, however, knew none of this, and was more at-ease with her assignment with each passing second. Her smile only widened as she spotted you, and gave you a friendly wave. She giggled at how genuinely terrified you looked screaming up at her, and she was proud that her nephew was so good at getting into character.
Steph spoke up again. "Ready to begin, Cass the Mega Monster?"
Your aunt took a deep breath. "I...think so, yes!"
1) As soon as Cass begins, she immediately takes to the role. Before long, she's almost feverishly destroying the city, relishing in finally letting go of the stress that's been eating at her these past few weeks...much to the horror of you and your fellow tinies.
2) Cass proves a bit hesitant to begin, so Steph coaches her through some of the more 'unique' and 'fun' things she can do to a tiny city and its denizens.
3) Cass is hopelessly lost, so back-up is called in. Izzy fetches two of Vivid Videos newest models to join Cass. In comes the busty Southern farmgirl, Sally, and the voluptuous Indian maven, Priya.
