Canon is the SoniComi game - thinking of apping her at hollyheights!

[sonicomi]

Mundane-san! I'm really glad you decided to app me somewhere! B--but this place... I'm a little young to be a housewife, right?

What about work? There aren't any modelling agencies there, are they? Or idol agencies? I wonder what I'll do for work...

[ She lets out a sigh, folding her arms across her chest. ]

But I guess I haven't got much of a choice, right? I'll just have to start from the bottom and work my way up! Maid cafes, store mascots... they should have stuff like that, right?

[ Grinning, she plants her hands on her hips. ]

I'll just have to work even harder than usual! So don't worry, Mun-san, I'll do my best!

A-... another idol?!

[Aren't there enough of those in Holly Heights by now?!]

Um... well, we kind of have a music group here, so... you could always join that. If you want. And you should haven't any problem finding work...

[sonicomi]

[ NEVER ENOUGH IDOLS ]

Ah, are there a lot of idols there already? [ maybe there's an agency already, which means work! ]

A music group sounds fun! I play bass and I sing a bit, so I'll definitely look into joining once I get there!

[ she gives Natsuru a smile. ]

Do you have any agencies there? I mostly do gravure, but I'm sure I could do some straight idol work, too!

[thirdbeauty]

There are a few, yeah! A lot of the music group members were idols where they come from...

I don't think we have an agency, though.

[If they did, it'd kind of defeat the purpose of the group in the first place.]

[sonicomi]

That's a shame! It sounds like you need one, if idols keep turning up.

[ she giggles, tucking a stray lock of hair behind her ear. Even if there isn't an agency, a music group might be good to get into. At the very least it'd be a fun way to make some friends, especially with some other idols. Most of the other girls she met these days were a bit...

... unpleasant. ]

But at least you're not hard off for work. I guess you all work in places around the city, right?

[thirdbeauty]

[Oh no, she's cute. Don't mind Natsuru if she gets a little blushy.]

Yeah, like... I'll be working at a restaurant as soon as it officially opens. A lot of people work at restaurants and cafés, actually...

[Not going to mention the offer she got for a modeling job, nope. That might have just been Rio joking, anyway. Maybe.]

[sonicomi]

That sounds good! I'll have to look into it once I get there. I had a part time job at a maid cafe back in high school, so hopefully I still remember everything.

[ another giggle, then she suddenly blushes as well. ]

Ah, I'm being really rude! I haven't even introduced myself yet!

[ She beams at Natsuru, turning the wattage on her already bright smile up to full. ]

I'm Sonico. It's nice to meet you!

[thirdbeauty]

[Back in high school...? So this girl's already graduated?]

Yeah, me too... I mean, I used to work at a maid café, so I hope I don't screw anything up with Jam-san's restaurant...

[Whoops, she hadn't meant to... blurt all that out. And just as the girl was getting to introducing herself!]

Oh! I'm Natsuru Senou... nice to meet you, Sonico-san.

[That smile...! Natsuru does her best to at least give a friendly smile of her own, too.]

[sonicomi]

It's fine to just call me Sonico-chan, you know! [ smile, smile ] After all, if we're going to be in the same game, it makes sense for us to be friendly with each other.

Eheh, maid cafes can be super risky, can't they? It's fun when you get cute customers, but now and again, you get someone really gross, like --

[ -- and here, she sticks out her tongue for a moment, to illustrate her point ]

-- you know? But you still need to be nice to them, if you want a tip.

[thirdbeauty]

R-right... Sonico-chan...

[One of these days, she'll get used to almost every girl she knows insisting on '-chan'... this is not that day. But at least she goes along with it.

And then, from the look on her face when Sonico talks about how 'risky' maid cafés can be, she definitely knows from experience.]

Yeah...

A lot of people in Holly Heights are really nice, though. I don't really meet as many creeps, and... [pause] ... you know.

So... you should be fine! Whatever you decide to do...

[sonicomi]

Yeah, it sounds like a really nice place! I mean, not like one of those other places where...

[ She pauses for a moment and then pulls a face again. She's not sure what those kinds of games are called, but they're wayyy too extreme for here. ]

People have wings, or they're dead or they've just come back to life-- or they're in a war, or something like that! There's just no no way I could ever deal with a game like that!

[ she lets out a sigh. count yourself lucky sonico, your mun was almost considering throwing you at haven just cuz ]

[thirdbeauty]

There are places like that...?!

I mean... there might be people with wings or who died here, too, but it's mostly because of where they come from. So... it's a pretty normal town, I guess. Even if it is a little weird.

[Considering that this character was originally supposed to be thrown at a game where people are stolen from their worlds and become fae possessions stripped of their original identities, these two are both pretty lucky...]
