genessia | Winter, February 13th

Text - Locked to her CR (anyone who've talked to her at least once and likes her enough)

[ Genessia had made Ayame happy and more at peace for the most part, but this night was the first in a long time that she vividly remembered dark memories she wants to stay buried. Needless to say, Ayame was woken up from her otherwise strict sleep schedule. Wearing nothing but a silken robe over her nightgown and with a cup of warm chocolate in her hand, Ayame gazes into the nighttime scenery of Genessia that helps ease her troubled mind, Ayame checked the time on her phone. It's late for early risers like her, but for many people, 10 pm isn't even late.

Even when she has Anastasia staying with her and Hibiki who is sound asleep in the living room, it didn't ease the lonesome feeling that's plaguing her at the moment. She wasn't sure if it was a distant sound of a siren, or just her own mind, but it jolted her from a lost state. Refusing to stay depressed, Ayame had an idea. ]

It's Ayame. Anyone of you still awake?

[ Phone in hand, she sent that text message to a bunch of people she had met and like enough to be considered an acquaintance. Hoping any of them would still be awake at this hour. ]

Flat | Top-Level Comments Only

[ Ayame blinks at the sight of the emoticon. What is that thing? Why do people use those? She's so out of the loop on normal people things, but she lets it pass and just type up a response to Sonico's question ]

I'm well.

[ Lie ]

Just found myself bored and a little hungry to go to bed. Not sure what else to do, tonight feels like another night where I won't get a wink of sleep.

Oh, no! Are you having trouble sleeping? That's no good!:c

Have you tried camomile tea? Or a bath? Those really help me to relax. Especially if you have those really nice bath salts ^^

It's funny you should mention that - I've done those. Practically every night the past few weeks. It worked, but just not tonight unfortunately.

Really? Oh no. I'm sorry to hear that :c

Is there something troubling you and keeping you awake?

Just
Old dreams

[ Ayame doesn't like talking much about her past, but she figures it's better to just be upfront about what's keeping her up ]

Not something that would make a fun topic of conversation, and not something that's keeping me awake.
But my mind is racing on so many thoughts because of it. I can't help but think of silly things like other ways to acquire money, like a secondary business now that I shall have more free time.

I know how that can be. I usually have to make myself exhausted before I'll sleep - there can be so many thoughts in my head!

Do you need help with money? Or to start a business?

*Money issues aren't the most polite thing to talk about, but if money is keeping Ayame awake at night then Sonico can surely help*

I did not mean to make it seem like I'm in a financial crisis, in fact I am well secured on that front. simply don't mind earning a little more money than my shop already provides. You could say I've been getting (a little) obsessed with collecting money. As if they are points in a game.

[ She couldn't show her reaction through text, but if she could, Ayame would give a sheepish half-smile at admitting that. ]

It's simply a thought, of course. I understand starting a business here requires three months of experience as an employee. I don't see any spas or massage therapy practices hiring.

[ A by-appointment massage therapist is the first thing in her mind as an optional side-business so far, among other things that are a little far from her reach like owning a bakeshop when her baking skills are simply mediocre ]

You would like to set up your own spa? Or a massage business? That sounds interesting! I could certainly use a massage! ^^

And I could certainly use someone to practice with. How about we schedule an appointment?

[ Ayame thought about asking Konoka too, since that girl seems closely related to Sonico from what she can see ]

Really?? You wouldn't mind? That sounds great! ^^ I could sure use one, I think!

Come by anytime on a Sunday. I live on Riverplace Square. Unless you're more comfortable with me visiting you ]

On a Sunday, of course! Not at all - it won't be a problem to get to you. Is there anything I can do in return?

There's no need for that. Just come as you are.

[ Beat ]

Well, perhaps helping spread the word would help? Only if you enjoyed the experience, that is.

Of course! I'd be more than happy to do that! And I'm sure the massage will be great! I'm looking forward to it!
