And that's how Ruby started in the porn industry.
Is she thinking of doing Yoai calendars or something.

No, not really much profit in it. There's sk much free porn on the internet no one wants to pay formit anymore.
Pointless arguing is one of the three pillars upon which the Internet is built. The other two are of course cat pictures and porn.

Ooh. Ruby has had a Kiley moment. Twice. First, she remembers that she's supposed to have a working sense of morality, and then she remembers that she's supposed to be the smart go-getter round here. Zii may not realise what she's unlocked, but it's partly her own fault - never expect a nerd not to go analytical on you.
Realistically, this might or might not be economically feasible - but it's by no means obviously stupid.
Given that we were expecting to see a heart-to-heart between Ruby and Zii over Ruby's emotional problems (which might yet happen), this is a completely unexpected plot turn. But I like it.
(Oh, and "MMF threesomes" - could that be Adrien and Erik in the picture?)
But Ruby isn't just looking to crank out porn pics; she's trying to work out how to monetise what will probably be very mild but tasteful and well-composed erotica, by going into areas other than pics on the Web. And she's supposedly got the training for this.vampire hunter D wrote:No, not really much profit in it. There's sk much free porn on the internet no one wants to pay formit anymore.

Plot twist that could happen down the line: The blithering idiot parents discover what Ruby is up to, and apologise to Amber for inflicting this embarrassment on her - they didn't know what a terrible person they'd raised, after Amber turned out so well...

Just like the Corleones: while one party is eager to go legit, the other is going deep into the nasty bussiness. I love it!!!

Re: 10-04-15 Grabbing a show
It'll be interesting if Amber or anyone else says anything about Ruby creating "porn", and if so, what Ruby says. I suspect that she honestly won't be thinking in those terms, any more than she thinks of the yaoi she personally reads as "porn"; she'll be aiming for a subtle, tasteful, and very softcore sort of erotica that, well, a woman like herself could have on a poster or a calendar without feeling sleazy.
A tricky target to hit, really, especially with all the competition from all the harder stuff available for free online - but if the idea is that Ruby, coming in with a fresh, uncynical eye can pull it off, well, I'll buy it for the sake of the story.

It could also lead to Ruby meeting Gary, if she chose to branch out to doing yaoi comics. Gary's male figures are good quality, what with his practice w/ Matt & Dillon. Could even get Yuki involved in the deal, just because her father is manga-god. Yay for cross-story strips!
