♫ three 「video」

[With the Fansuwoth propped against one of the pillows, its camera reveals a rather disgruntled Sheryl who is currently dressed in lacy robes with one of the sides exposing a creamy shoulder and some healthy amount of cleavage. She lies on the bed to one side as she furiously scribbles down something in her notebook. The sounds of a pencil against

[ He is going to pretend that "crash into your space" is about the worst euphemism he's ever heard; but, then again, he's heard enough of Sheryl's song lyrics to know better.

Alto comes on the feed with a sigh. ] For a second there, I thought this was an accidental broadcast.

[galactically]

[The frustrated look on her face is abruptly replaced by amusement, strained but otherwise visible. Then she leans forward with her lips curling up into a smile.]

My appearance over the network is never meant to be accidental, Alto.

[todistantskies]

[ Tiny eyeroll. ] I meant how you looked, not that you were showing up. [ Tapping his shoulder; the one that corresponds to her bare one. ]

[galactically]

I-I know what you meant!

[She quickly looks at her shoulder before covering it up with the other side of the robe, clearing her throat with a faint blush afterwards.]

Happy now?

[todistantskies]

[ An amused hum. ] Yeah, that's better. [ Now looking at the camera, because it's less distracting. He clears his throat. ]

--still angry at him, huh?

[galactically]

Don't tell me you're being a prude.

[She sticks her tongue out a little in amusement.]

That man is a thick-headed fool. I feel sorry for you for having him as your "manager".

[todistantskies]

Prude? It's not like-- [ --I haven't seen more. Oops! Willing his cheeks to stay clear, though it doesn't work, he huffs again. ] It's not like that.

[galactically]

Hmm~? Alto, are you thinking certain thoughts?

[Teasing him is fun, okay.]

Alto gives such a disapproving look. ] W-wouldn't you like to know? [ Seriously, though, she knows how many days along he has to be by now, so pushing any of his buttons is incredibly easy right now. ]

[galactically]

[She laughs gently at him before it subsides, twirling a pencil between her fingertips.]

Yes, yes, I know.

[Okay, so she shouldn't push him too much since he has that dreaded tattoo curse.]

Have you spoken to him recently?

[todistantskies]

[ Alto takes a calming breath and uncrosses his arms. ] ...no. I pretty much try to avoid him when I can. We don't really "discuss" anything.

[galactically]

But discussions may be the one thing that can soothe any misunderstandings.

[A quick pause.]

Or possibly a bribe.

[todistantskies]

There is no "misunderstanding" here, Sheryl. He and I are both pretty clear on what-- [ Blinking. ] What can I possibly bribe him with?

[galactically]

Doesn't this place run on capitalism? As they say, money talks.

[todistantskies]

I'm one of the lowest-tier entertainers in the house, and he's the head. I'm pretty sure giving him a measly tip won't improve my standing. [ Alto sighs, just barely avoiding an incredulous stare. ] Besides, I shouldn't have to stoop to something like that in the first place.

[galactically]

Who says that you will be doing the bribing, Alto?
