[ Her spirit brings a smile to his face, his own demeanour brightening in turn. ]
An actress? Were you in anything I'd know?
[ That's exciting! ]
That's amazing though, are you going to try pursuing that here? I was a figure skater back home, but I also started getting into music, so I'm trying to bring it here. Do you figure skate? I guess it's not popular everywhere, but I'm trying to save up to build a rink here—
Probably not, I was just in a few commercials and a drama...I was just starting to hit big in Japan.
[ She fusses with her hair, thinking back to how she'd just started to be recognized on the street regularly. What a shame. ]
But if I can keep modelling and acting, that'd be great! They really have jobs like that here? [ She'd way prefer to stay in her line of work... it's good to stay in things she knows she's good at. Misa doesn't mind his rambling though (she's sort of a rambler in her own way), just laughing so she can get a word in. ] Misa doesn't know much about sports, but that's amazing... figure skating is kind of like modelling, too.
[ And the dresses were always so cute!! ]
I haven't gone in a super long time, since I've been so busy!
Oh, yeah. I haven't really seen any Japanese movies...
[ It was usually the horror ones that made it big overseas, and JJ wasn't particularly keen to sit in on those. But he doesn't let that stall his enthusiasm, eyes still bright as he walks alongside her toward the city. ]
But I'm sure there are! I've seen a play, so they definitely have actors, but they don't have video cameras so there's no movies. But they have some old school cameras! They probably have some magazines... or ads, I dunno. [ He taps his chin. ] My buddy, Yusuke, paints models for the brothel, so there might be something if you look. But anyway, if you do get famous, be sure to give my skating rink some publicity, okay?
Misa will help JJ as much as she can! If Misa gets famous again.
[ His slyness is met with her perky charm, eyes creasing as she smiles. Even if she knows nothing about ice skating, she'd be willing since she owes him...and he seems so sweet. Where were all these nice guys back on Earth!! In Canada apparently. Her ponytails bounce as she follows close to his side, slinging her bag onto her elbow. ]
Maybe if I can get in contact with those models' agency, or something... as long as they aren't nude paintings. [ She'd say lingerie and swimsuits were ok, but the world ending pretty much destroyed all her cute sexy photoshoot wear. ] But you probably wouldn't be friends with someone who did stuff like that, right?
[ Her syllables get drawn out in a whiny and childish way, face pulling into a pout. She knew the prospect of finding an easy new job was too good to be true!! ]
I don't know, I don't think my boyfriend would like it if I was doing that kind of stuff. [ Her nose wrinkles up. That was a sight she was saving for her boyfriend that was totally super in love with her. ] Lingerie and swimwear is okay, but Misa doesn't want anyone else but him to see!!
[ Her attitude gets him to smile; it's so refreshingly normal. It helps that she's more concerned about possibly being featured in nude paintings than she is the fact that her world is gone.
Well, it's also kind of weird, but everyone copes in their own way. ]
You don't have to be naked if you don't want to. He wouldn't force you. But he does really great paintings. I bet we could find you some cute lingerie, and that'd work just fine.
[ She doesn't know, this place seemed like...well, everything that the bustling inner cities she's used to wasn't. Somehow she'd been preparing for a culture shock of things being different in every which way, but maybe some important things were still the same. ]
Misa doesn't have very much money, though. [ SHE'S GOTTA FOCUS ON LIKE... BUYING FOOD FOR THE TIME BEING ] You said your friend's name is Yusuke, right? I'll keep his name in mind for when I'm looking for work!! Although Misa isn't sure if she can sit still for a whole painting.
I mean, probably. [ If they don't, JJ would be happy to design some anyway. ] But it is probably expensive... It's nice to have goals though, it makes having to slum it for a while bearable.
[ At least that's what motivates JJ, even after having been stripped of his former wealth and fame. He holds fast to his goal: a skating rink, a guitar, and everything else. It's easier to focus on that than everything that they've lost. ]
I think you'll be fine though. [ He believes in you, Misa. ] There's a lot of help around.

sorry this is so late...
Well...
[ How should he say this? Misa seems like a delicate girl, and he doesn't want to offend her sensibilities. ]
I mean, he does nude paintings, but it's not... sexual. It's art! Like all those Roman sculptures.
its ok im late..too.....
