[Video - 2nd Song: Ready For My Close-Up]

[sonicosuper]

*Sonico would have much preferred to do this by text only, but she figures that if she's offering her image as a way of making money then it's only fair that clients get to see what they're paying for. The video is therefore taken at a slightly awkward angle as Sonico does her best to show her face and her upper body*

Hello everyone, Sonico here!~ Before I start with the main part of this message I wanted to thank everyone I've met recently. You've all been very kind and helpful, and I feel much more settled here now. Thank you.

 

*After that, it's time for the main message. Used to her manager doing all the PR work and communications for her, this is quite a new thing for Sonico but she does her best not to let the awkwardness show so that she can give a good impression*

Today I'm letting you all know that I offer part-time modelling work, and I'd love to get started here in Genessia. Back home, I have a large portfolio of work as I have taken part in many different kinds of modelling work. So far I have experience in magazine picture spreads, single photo shoots, advertising, and I've also made appearances at conventions and events.

If you'd like me to help with work of this kind, please feel free to get in touch. If you think of something in future, you can contact me directly via the device, or you might prefer to see me in person at the Bright Sky Diner.

I look forward to working with you!

*To conclude, Sonico gives a warm smile and a soft bow of the head*

[Action Option - Come find her at the Bright Sky Diner if you so desire! She'll be there in super cute waitressing gear!]

[The text will read: Mr.Smith.]

A model? I wouldn't have guessed. Do you really make money off of that?

[sonicosuper]

Hello Mr Smith!

Modelling is actually how I make most of my money - it's really helping to pay my way through school. It's not what I want to do forever, but it's not bad and it can pay a lot!

[rockcollector]

I guess it helps to be pretty.

[sonicosuper]

You think I'm pretty, Mr Smith? That's very kind! C:

I was implying something else.

[Crystal sees the girls video but sees no reason to reply to it. She has no need for a model though she'd agree that Sonico is very charming. She decides she wants to meet this cute girl and heads out to the dinner that she'd mentioned in her message.

When she arrives she finds a seat before waving to the pink haired girl.]

Excuse me? Do you have a moment? I'd like to speak to you.

[Crystal lets her eyes roam over the girls outfit.]

You look very cute.

[sonicosuper]

*Sonico sees the woman waving at her and heads over quickly with a bright smile*

Hello! How can I help?

*She takes a little notepad and a small pencil from her apron pocket, ready to take an order. But instead what she gets is a compliment, causing her to cheeks to flush*

Thank you so much, miss!

Action;

[highprices]

I wanted to ask about your modeling. If you don't mind.

[She'll also order a coffee. Not ordering anything would be rude.]

I've thought about doing something similar though I work as a hostess right now. [Crystals smile widens.] I enjoy talking to people to much to stop.

Action;

[sonicosuper]

Of course, miss. Let me get your coffee and I'll be more than happy to talk with you.

*With that, Sonico disappears, returning a couple of minutes later with a small tray with coffee, sugar, and milk*

Here you are, miss.

*Once she'd put the tray down, Sonico settled into the seat opposite the woman and smiled*

So, what would you like to know? I've beem modelling for about 18 months or so now, so I'm not the most experienced ever but I will do my best.

Action;

[highprices]

Thank you.

[Crystal smiles at her cup before bringing the steaming liquid to her lips.]

I'm just curious about your experiences. If you don't mind such a vague question.

[callmeimouto]

I model too, just part-time. Sign up with an agency here and it's pretty easy and everything.

video;

[sonicosuper]

Really? Are the agency good? Do you have a nice manager?

*Sonico pauses, realising that she's rattling off too many questions*

video;

[callmeimouto]

They're okay, and I don't really have a manager- I mostly just work at the same kind of spots.

[she shrugs.] I was a model back home too, so I'm just used to this kind of stuff.

video;

[sonicosuper]

Really? That's a shame. I had a manager back home and he was really great. He got me lots of work but he always protected me with whatever kind of job I had - it was important to him that I was safe and comfortable, which I really appreciated.

video;

[callmeimouto]

Why is it a shame? I'm still getting tons of work and getting paid and everything.

[she shrugs.] Yeah, it's good you were able to find a manager like that I guess.

Being a little busy bee, aren't you?

[Fai was sitting in his office with a smile. He was bored.]

video;

[sonicosuper]

*Sonico smiles at Fai and gives him a little wave*

I am! But I like being busy!

How are you?

video;

[truesmiles]

I'm fine. Busy of course, but fine.

But that is to be exprected really.

video;

[sonicosuper]

I'm amazed by how many people I meet here who are really busy, when meanwhile there are others who've taken this chance to relax.

video;

[truesmiles]

That could be because some are use to having to be busy while others aren't. I am not use to it, but I was aware of what I needed to do in order to live.

[Action - In A Bar, Accidental Drinking with Terrance]

[sonicosuper]

*Whenever Sonico found herself at a loss with what to do with her evenings, she would remember what her two closest, and only real friends would tell her - that it was important to get out and about, to meet people, make friends, maybe even a boyfriend.

While Sonico doubted the latter two were possible, she did make the decision to head out and see what the city had to offer. That's precisely how she found herself sitting alone at a small booth in this bar.

Sonico was wearing a plaited navy blue mini skirt with kitten heels to match, along with a simple but rather flattering white vest. Although Sonico was sitting alone, the girl wasn't always without company. Every so often a man would approach her and talk to her, and eventually he'd leave her be, looking either angry or quite put out. Some of them would bring drinks with them, pretty cocktails especially for her.

This is how Sonico ended up with four glasses in front of her - two of them were empty, and two still full of brightly coloured liquid. Turns out Sonico didn't quite have the heart to ignore the drinks, thinking it was far more polite to accept them and drink them. Only problem being, Sonico wasn't much of a drinker, so already she'd had more alcohol than she was used to*

[Action - In A Bar, Accidental Drinking with Terrance]

[rockcollector]

[Terrance spends most of his free time in bars. It's a place where he can relax and blend in with the crowd. He he's wearing a lose pair of beat-up jeans and a plan dark T-shirt. He has a jacket shoved in his backpack but it's too hot to put it on. As always his hair is messy and his lips are positioned in a frown.

He brings a small cup of whiskey to his lips when he sees Sonico walk in. At first he ignores her, assuming that she'd want to sit by herself but he keeps an eye on her as man after man and drink after drink are placed in front of her.

When she finishes two of them he looks at the red in her cheeks and sighs. he doesn't know why he cares but he can't just keep sitting and watching her. He stands with his drink in hand and walks over towards her table. He cuts off someone trying to approach her by sliding into the booth next to her and placing an arm around her shoulders.]

Waiting long love?

[He waits until the stranger leaves before regarding Sonico more carefully.]

You look like you're going to fall over if you stand up. You shouldn't accept every drink someone buys you.

[Terrance removes his arm and places his elbow on the table.]

What the bloody hell are you doing here?

[sonicosuper]

*There's yet another guy approaching, and Sonico sits up straighter in her seat, trying to think of way to get them to leave quicker this time. But then someone is moving into the booth beside her. Sonico puts down her glass and stares at Terrance with wide eyes as he puts his arm around her. If she was pink in the cheeks before, she was very rosy indeed then.

She finally opens her mouth to say something when she realises what he's doing as the other man turns away. Still, she seems rather shy as she speaks, turning to look at the drinks in front of her*

I just thought it would be...rude not to drink them. Isn't it kind that they bought them for me? It would be so rude, so rude not to drink them.

*So saying, she picks up the next cocktail and sips at the straw. Her face lights up at the taste, and when she's done drinking she passes the glass towards Terrance*

I am having some drinks! This one's really tasty - wanna try?

[rockcollector]

Ummm no. I have a drink and don't care for fruity or sweet things.

[He gently takes the drink from her.]

They want you to get drunk so that they can successfully hit on you. [He's just going to spell it out for her.] Or take advantage.

Do you usually drink this much?

[He's pretty sure that there are at least two shots of alcohol in each of these drinks and it looks like she's downing them pretty fast.]

[sonicosuper]

But you haven't tried it so how do you know?

*Sonico tilts her head at him as he takes the drink away, blinking as she listens, but then she smiles and slowly shakes her head*

Nope. That isn't why. They said it was because I looked pretty and lonely. One guy said that a 'gorgeous girl' like me shouldn't be all alone. Isn't that sweet?

*She giggles quietly then grins as though proud of the kinds of comments she's received*

I don't ever drink!

*Then she reaches out for the last cocktail sitting on the table in front of them*
