1st Song - Introduction [Video and Action]

[Video]
*The video is taken by someone who knows what they are doing - at an angle that is actually rather flattering. There's enough so that her face is seen, her shoulders, and the start of her chest. Sonico is smiling, calmly, into the camera, no idea who she is talking to, or if there's anyone there at all. Still, she takes a small breath before starting to speak*

I seem to have fallen asleep and woken up...somewhere, and I don't have my bike with me. Could anyone kindly let me know where the nearest train station is? I'm worried that I'm late for work, and... I think I've missed all my lectures today. I - I hate to make such a nuisance of myself, but I have so many important things to do today, and I don't want to let anyone down!

Thank you in advance!

*Sonico bows gratefully into the camera, then switches her new device off*

[Action - Genessia City]

*With no clue of where to go or what to do until someone hopefully gets in touch with her, Sonico takes to wandering the city. What she does know for a fact is that she is hungry, so seeking out someplace to eat is her first priority. The girl definitely doesn't seem in too much of a hurry, scuffing her boots along the ground as she walks, arms leisurely swinging as she sings to herself.

From time to time she'll pause at the window or some food store or other. In particular, she seems distracted by a pretty bakery selling macarons. Pressing herself up against the glass, Sonico stares in happy wonder at the various different coloured confections on display. Either Sonico will be staring wistfuly at food somewhere, or she'll be staring at her device, and the map she was given, trying to figure out her next steps, looking more than just a little lost*

I have eaten all that I want to eat. [The waitresses just wanted to give it to him, though he told them it wasn't necessary.]

Then thank you! That is extremely kind!

*Sonico helps herself to another, smiling all the while*

I don't remember the last time I ate - Uh - I mean, well, I just arrived here...

I've only recently arrived myself. [He's only been here for about a week at this point.]

We are all given money when we arrive. [She should have used that to get herself something to eat. Unless she wasn't very hungry.]

Oh really? Well, I've only been around for a few hours.

*Sonico blushes then and stops eating, glancing down at her lap*

I have money I just... I don't know how much my apartment will cost, or if I'll get any work.

[So she really did just arrive here.]

It depends on how much you are willing to pay for a place. Some are more expensive than others. You get what you expect with the cheaper places. Work isn't difficult to find. What is your skill set?

Oh, I don't need anything special. Just space enough for me. And a bath.

I have an extensive modelling portfolio - uhm, not that I have it with me. I work part time waitressing, I sing and play guitar in a band, and I'm a student too. Think any of that will be useful here?

Yes. You can find a job in any of those lines of work. I am a singer, model and actor where I come from. I have signed onto a talent agency here to continue to pursue those fields.

Really? There's a talent agency here? Do you think they would let me sign up?

*Looking pretty excited about this now as she leans even closer*

I don't see why not. Aesthetically, I can see how you might make a living as a model. I can't speak to your talent at singing or playing an instrument, as I have not heard you. But from my stand point, I don't see why they wouldn't take you.

Oh, well, thank you very much. The singing is just a hobby really...for now, but it'd be great to get some modelling work!

When you start to take it seriously, I can give you some instruction. [He's a masterful singer and he still practices and tries to improve himself.]

The company I work for is called the Fama Talent Agency. Would you like me to take you and introduce you?

Oh. Thank you. That sounds useful - and fun.

*Sonico brightens up at the offer and nods her head enthusiastically*

Really, you would?

I want the company that I am part of to be the best. And to be the best, it needs diversity in its talent. [So having her there would help with that.]

Perfect! Then hopefully I'll be something that they can use with their agency. Even if you and I both do modelling I...imagine it looks quite different and is for different kinds of clients.

*She giggles a little awkwardly then bows her head towards him*

My name's Sonico, by the way.

[Their photographs would be vastly different. Typically, Yashiro's pictures were of the cool and calm variety, though he could do others as well.]

Yashiro Tsurugi. [He finishes off his tea and places the cup down. He takes out his wallet and leaves the money for the food.]

Nice to meet you.

*She glances down at the money he leaves and gives another grateful nod*

Thanks again for the cakes. They were delicious!

So...you make your money here from singing and modelling?

Yes. [He says as he starts to lead her along.] I've been able to rent a two bed room apartment at Eden's Castle just from starting with them.

[Money is not a huge issue for him, though. He's glad to have it, however.]

And I'll be putting on a concert at some point next month.

*Sonico soon falls into step alongside him, looking mightily impressed at his good fortune*

A two bedroom apartment? I can't even imagine living with so much space! And in a place called Eden's Castle? That sounds just b3autiful!

*She seems to brighten up even more at mention of a concert*

Great! I'd love to come along! If you need a little starting act, I can offer to sing - though my band aren't with me..and neither is my guitar..

[He didn't see it as good fortune. He saw it as the results of hard work.]

Did you think you can successfully entertain a crowd with your singing? [Again, he's never heard her sing. So he wouldn't know.]

Hmm... Well, I've never really performed completely on my own. I've sung at a number of events and they've been popular, but I've always had my band with me too...

*She really has no idea if she could cope on a stage on all her own - modelling yes, but singing, perhaps not*

That's something you need to decide before you commit. If you believe you can, then I will speak to my manager about you opening. Instruments and a backing band aren't difficult to obtain.

I...I think I can. I'm definitely happy to do what I can. I'm really dedicated to my work.

[They pass through the Archway into the sci fi place that is known as Nova City.]

I will make the arrangements, then. I expect you to practice diligently if you plan to be my opening act.

*Her first time in Nova City, Sonico's eyes are wide as they walk, gazing at everything around them*

Really? That would be amazing! When is your concert?

August 19th. Tickets are very nearly sold out at this point.
