[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!]

[Terrance turns his head towards her.]

I guess.

[He feels her shoulder press against his and wonders if he should leave, for the moment he remains perfectly still.]

That... isn't true Sonico. [Terrance exhales a slow breath.] I'm not good with people and I can't do what you think so please. Stop thinking I can. [He never realized that people seeing him for what he isn't is just as bad as people not seeing him at all.]

I should go...

[sonicosuper]

*Instead of looking at the ceiling, Sonico turns to lie on her side so that she can get a better look at him. Her eyes narrow like she's looking at a puzzle that she can't figure out*

...do you want to go?

[rockcollector]

[Terrance exhales wondering if he should lie or not.]

You won't sleep if I stick around will you?

[sonicosuper]

*Sonico continues to look at him with that puzzled expression*

Hey, you got me home safe and sound. What I do doesn't matter. What you do is up to you.

*Each time she says the word 'you' she taps him lightly on the nose*

[rockcollector]

[Terrance closes his eyes and sighs.]

You're awfully friendly when you're drunk Sonico. I don't want you doing anything you'll regret in the morning.

[He doesn't peg her as the touchy feely type.]

[sonicosuper]

You don't think I'm friendly the rest of the time?

*She holds his gaze for only a moment before turning again to lie on her back. Sonico lifts a hand to shield her eyes from the light on the ceiling*

What are you worried that I might do and regret?

[rockcollector]

You are... that isn't.

[He runs his hand through his hair feeling frustrated.]

I didn't mean it like that.

[Terrance turns towards her now that she's looking up at the ceiling.]

Do you often invite boys to lay down in bed with you?

[sonicosuper]

*His question makes her throat feel suddenly very dry, and she begins to sit up so that she can hide her blush*

N-no. Never.

*Aware that she was going to start rambling, Sonico reaches over for the glass of water on the small table. Instead of talking, she takes quick gulps*

[rockcollector]

[Terrance watches her but doesn't move.]

I'm not going to do anything.

[He sighs and stands, running his fingers through his hair. He never thought he'd been in a situation like this. All of college and it never once happened. It's so weird.]

Like I said, I don't want you to regret it.

Try and sleep... I'll get you more water.

[sonicosuper]

*Sonico puts down the glass of water and looks up at him, watching him carefully as he plays with his hair. She continues to just watch him, feeling at a loss as she swallows awkwardly*

Terrance...you don't have to be here if you don't want to be.

*He seems uncomfortable and she can't figure out if she's done something wrong*

I don't need more water..

[rockcollector]

That- isn't it either.

[He whispers hoping that she might be able to hearing the sincerity of his voice, he really sucks at this. Terrance turns towards her and carefully sits on the bed next to her. He watches her curiously before gently brushing some of her hair from her cheek.]

You do need more water.

[He says it like it's a fact.]

Don't be afraid to ask questions. [His fingers continue to hover, right next to her cheek.] I can't read your mind love.

[Terrance leans forward and lightly plucks the mostly empty glass from the end table. He then stands to refill it, returning a half second later.]

[sonicosuper]

*Sonico sighs softly when he sits next to her, glad he hadn't just got up and left, especially since he wasn't the best at announcing when he was leaving. What she really hadn't expected though was the way he brushed her hair, and she gazed at him with wide surprised eyes*

Water... Right.

*When he leaned forward, Sonico took a deep breath, but when she realised he was leaning forward for the glass she let it out in a quick sigh. As he stands, Sonico leans back against the pillows of the sofa bed*

Terrance...I feel...warm.

*Though that was clearly more of a statement than a question*

[rockcollector]

[The cup clicks softly on the end table before Terrance moves to Sonico's side.]

Do you have a fan?

[He has no idea what she's talking about because, no, that isn't a question.]

[sonicosuper]

No. No fan.

*She then closes her eyes and wriggles uncomfortably against the pillows*

But my cheeks... Do they look pink?

*Eyes still closed, Sonico begins fanning at her indeed rather pink cheeks with her hands. At least that was a question that time*

[rockcollector]

[Terrance moves closer to her head and takes a seat on the bed again. He doesn't think lying down with her is a good idea.]

Let me take a look.

[His fingers lightly rest under her chin and lift her face for him to see.]

You're flushed, which happens when you drink. Anibishions lower and blood flow is stimulated and it's why you feel hot.

[sonicosuper]

*When he lifts her face, Sonico allows her eyes to flutter open as she looks at him with concern*

Flushed? So I don't look like I'm dying?

[rockcollector]

No even a bit.

[He releases her chin.]

Sonico, you always look lovely.

[Terrance really hopes that she forgets that he said that.]

[sonicosuper]

*Now her cheeks are really flaring. Her eyes widen in surprise at the compliment, not what she expected at all. Not that it was a bad thing. Not at all. It takes her a good moment or two before she can speak*

Th-thank you, Terrance. That's a very sweet, very kind thing to say.

[rockcollector]

Think you can sleep now?

[Girls are a lot of trouble though he's surprisingly not bothered by it.]

I'll hang out here for a bit so you're not on your own, okay?

[sonicosuper]

Hmm. Maybe. I will try, if it will make you feel better.

*She smiles and lowers herself so that she's lying back down on the bed, tugging the blanket up over her waist*

You can stay as long as you like.

[rockcollector]

It will.

[He smiles one of those rare smiles and takes a seat against the wall. He pulls out his phone and begins to mess around on it though his eyes keep flicking over to Sonico.

Terrance plans to leave after she's gone to sleep.]

[sonicosuper]

*Sonico returns his smile with one of her own then settles down for sleep. But thanks to the alcohol she is quite restless at first, tossing and turning. After a while of that, Sonico reaches a hand out towards where he's sitting against the wall*

...Terrance?

[rockcollector]

[Terrance looks up from his phone.]

Mmm?

[He's working from here and programming some basic algorithms for his project.]

[sonicosuper]

*There's a moment or two before she speaks again as though debating what to say. Finally, though, she brings her arm back slowly*

Good night. Sweet dreams.

[rockcollector]

Sweet dreams.

[He repeats the words slowly.]
