[WEDNESDAY | AFTER SCHOOL: August 20th]

Ugh, I can't believe that punk would just cut out a time like this...! Does he know who he's dealing with!? I'll make it so he can never show that sorry face of his in this industry again!

What does he mean he deserves more money. Hmph! He shouldn't be trying to put together a family if he doesn't have the means for it! That's just... idiocy. And

You're that guy from TV.

[jikanettanaka]

Yes. Yes, I am. How good of you to notice.

Does your mother know you're out in public with those ridiculous things on your head? I'm sure she's crying in shame right now, if you haven't already driven her six feet under with your childish, rebellious antics--

[Tanaka pauses. He seems to be contemplating something.]

[tripsiding]

[lol tanaka]

Hm?

[jikanettanaka]

Not quite what I had in mind, but maybe it's just the kind of drastic change the company needs... The hair might be a bit off-putting, but then again, the kids are all for things like that nowadays, aren't they? Those cat ears though, they gotta...

[Tanaka seems to be mumbling to himself as he looks the girl? over.]

Do me a favor and take those atrocities off your head for a minute, will ya?

[tripsiding]

[YOUR MUMBLING IS INTRIUGING. complies and takes them off]

[jikanettanaka]

[Tanaka takes a moment to analyze, and that pose... Hm. This kid could be a natural, but she looks so young. That's definitely going to put a wrench in the turning wheels of progress. Best to play it safe for now.]

Kid, I'll be blunt. I think you might have what it takes to become the new icon I need for my company, but... I gotta run your profile through the company first, and unfortunately, that doesn't come free.

I can slide you to the front of the list with my status, but I can't bump the price down. Capiche?

I'll be upfront with you. It's 10,000 yen, and I can't guarantee that anything will come of it, but look at this face. I wouldn't lie to you. You know that, right?

I don't pass this offer along to just anyone you know, so think about that before you answer.

But what do you say, are you in? You're in, right?

[tripsiding]

Uwa~ Can I come back later with it? ♪

[jikanettanaka]

Smart girl! You know an opportunity when you see one! Of course, take your time. You can often find me here, but remember this is a limited offer, so you might want to jump on it. Know what I'm saying?

After all, there have been a few others I've had my eye on.

[tripsiding]

I'll remember it!

[jikanettanaka]

Good girl, now run along before your mommy catches you talking with strangers. You wouldn't want to ruin the business deal before it's begun, now, would you? Didn't think so.
