Shawn was still the busty brunette he had been for the commercial, and contemplating the idea of having to stay a woman, at least during shooting hours, for a longer period of time. This was a movie, and since it was sci-fi, likely bigger budget and longer shooting schedule. Could he really deal with being a woman during the day for months? Gawd, he would so need to unwind on the weekends after all this, but then again: big budget likely meant better pay so maybe he could handle it. He chuckled, which in his current form, came out like a giggle, which startled him. Guys don't giggle. Chuckle, maybe chortle, but not giggle. Damn, he sounded, well, cute, when he did that, and that is so not ok. A knock on the door breaks him from his thoughts about being a woman, and he shifts back, his clothes having been loose on his figure since he didn't change before shifting.
Opening the door, he is relieved it is Rebecca and she comes in and blinks "You turned into a woman, didn't you? I thought I heard a giggle when I was walking up" Shawn sighed "I am not looking forward to this, but then again, I look forward to evictions and bankruptcy far less, so yeah, was trying to come to terms with it. This is going to be a long term gig, what with it being a feature film and all. I'm going to have to spend all day as woman, only able to turn back when I get home...wait, what?" Rebecca bit her lip and sighs "You better sit down, I got some more details and most of them are bad, but one of them is um, well, really damned good, so please hear me out."
Shawn is wary now and moves to the folding table that doubles as his dining space, sitting down diagonal from Rebecca. "Ok, drop the other shoe, what?" Rebecca swallows "Ok, you want all the bad first, or just cut to the good?" Now it's Shawn's turn to swallow "Bad first" Rebecca nods "They are really excited about the opportunity to find a stunt double close enough to their lead to get away without needing facial CGI: even with AI, that usually comes off fake as heck. When they sent the lead actress' pic and I assured them I had just the stuntwoman, they were ecstatic. And then the shoes started dropping. Shawn, they, um yeah, it will be several months, but um, they..... they're shooting overseas, down in Chile and Argentina. Apparently the director is one of those location types who wants a practical set, not green screens or even the new circular virtual sets." Shawn blinks "Oh, well that kills that, not like I have a passport for whoever I would need to look like." But Rebecca shakes her head "Studio said they could rush that, they have contacts, and can arrange it when I said you didn't have a valid passport." Shawn objects "No way, because then, I'll be overseas with no way to come home and change clothes, not to mention the fact that my passport and permission to be in country will be for the woman I turn into, not for me. I'd have to be a woman a heck of a lot longer than I expected each day" Another shake of Rebecca's head "It's worse than that I'm afraid, you would need to stay a woman, well, 24/7. The lead actress, Sharon Bigelow, she, well, she wants to room with her double, to develop rapport, but also let her learn about her, as well as getting some pointers on doing her own stunts." Shawn stands up "Are you kidding me? Months as a woman the whole time, living with a woman who I will, oh by the way, be shifted to look pretty much like a twin, and never once, not in all those months, getting to be myself, heck to be any guy? Are you freaking kidding me? Not if they offered me a million dollars!"
Rebecca nods then very quietly "They offered two" Shawn stops, confused. "What?" She continues "They offered two million, with a 25% advance to arrange stuff ahead of time since you'll be out of country so long." Shawn pauses, his jaw dropping "$2 million? With $500k upfront?" She nods "And they are covering all living expenses during the shoot." Shawn pauses "So, you're telling me I work a bunch on months on this film, the whole time being a close copy of Sharon, and I won't need to pay rent, utilities, food, nothing? And I'll pocket two mil?" Rebecca nods "Well, I mean, minus my 15%, but yeah. I know you don't want to do this, but I also know you need it, hell, I need it too, but I understand if being a woman for that long is too much for you dude. I'm not gonna ask you to do this, but I sure as heck will offer you the chance"
