Hello! This is a little sudden, but I'd like to hear some opinions. Anyone who has time, please go ahead and answer!

Does it seem to you like the native folks are getting better at keeping the basic requirements of human life in mind?

How should a person bargain for things like meal breaks, sleep breaks and so on with potential employers who haven't needed such things themselves in thousands of years? Would it even be possible to persuade someone like that?

Would it be possible for someone with an ordinary, mundane human body to impersonate a robot? How would you do it? Would there be a punishment if you got caught, do you think?

This is all just brainstorming, so please don't worry about wrong answers! Thank you!

For somebody so confident and brilliant, it surely won't be a problem.

[blue_eyed_obsession]

You aren't wrong

[No matter how insincere]

[daikonrose]

Then there's no need for me to say frivolous words like "good luck," is there? Since it's such a sure thing.

[blue_eyed_obsession]

Not really, no. Besides, it won't be luck that sees me through. Only fools rely on that

[daikonrose]

Then I won't say it.

[blue_eyed_obsession]

Likewise.

So, you said you has a 'bit of fame' back in your own dimension- that implies prior experience -what sort of acting had you done previously?

[Even Kaiba wasn't sure why he was prolonging this, but he was finding himself genuinely curious.]

[daikonrose]

[ She's not sure why this guy wants to know more about her after all of that, but sure. Fine. It's not like any of it is a secret. Except Bo, sorta, but it's not like that really matters here. ]

I was on television at home--I've had roles in a couple dramas, and I had a regular job on a variety show too. I debuted in a soft drink commercial.

[He explained it away in his own mind that at some point this sort of information might be relevant later. Having an idea of everyone's skill sets could be beneficial]

Side characters or main?

[Overall it didn't sound all that impressive. The girl had gotten her foot in the door, which was a start. Many fail to do even that much. He didn't ask for the titles of the series since .. when did he have time or inclination to watch dramas?]

[daikonrose]

Side characters. Antagonists, to be more specific.

[ Kyoko would agree, it truly is not very impressive! But she doesn't think she's done all that badly either, considering she was a real nobody only a year ago. ]

I did get cast in a more sympathetic role right before I got kidnapped here, but production had only just started.

[blue_eyed_obsession]

Really?

[Finding that a peculiar role for someone who seemed so.... what was the word.... soft]

If you're able to pull that off on screen then maybe you actually have some talent. [Or it's a low budget production on a hard deadline] Frustrating, isn't it? Getting pulled away from an active project.

[daikonrose]

It's not like I'd make something like that up.

[ What a backhanded compliment, jeez. Is this how he talks to everyone, or just her? ]

It IS frustrating. Whether I actually have talent or not, I really wanted to play that role.

[blue_eyed_obsession]

[Yes, unfortunately, he does talk to everyone the same way. At least he's a little intrigued after all this]

You have a passion for it.

[Although he's not in the same field he can relate to the sentiment. There's something he wanted to see to completion in person and yet.. he's here]

[daikonrose]

That's right! For me, acting is like a religion that saved my soul!

[blue_eyed_obsession]

Religion and souls aside- I actually believe you

[Though not in religion and souls despite having his stolen at least 2 times now. He had a feeling that if this was a video chat and not text he could see an intensity in her eyes that matched the tone of the words.]

Then why are you letting a bunch of tin cans stand in your way? The road might not be easy but if you feel that strongly you can carve out your own path

[daikonrose]

[ Does it matter if this guy believes her or not? No, but it still grates on her, the way he says it. ]

Obviously! That's why I'm going back when they already told me not to!

[blue_eyed_obsession]

[Kaiba might have been irritating the heck out of her, but it was difficult to tell over this format. Personally, he's amused, finding his lips quirking upwards at her bold assertion]

Good. Now you're showing that you have some conviction in you. I'll be curious to see the results

[daikonrose]

As if I'm doing it because you're curious!

[ No Kyoko, you actually are supposed to be invested in people wanting to see your work, that's how being a celebrity works, remember ]

[blue_eyed_obsession]

[This is certainly the sort of effect Kaiba had on others. He could easily get a person fired up but it could lead to them resenting him. It's a gift.]

.. And yet you came across so passively before. Go on, prove it to me and the world that you have what it takes to survive here!

[With that he ended the feed soon after, feeling as if he had said enough and made his point. An individual needed to hold on tightly to what drove them, inspired them to move forward. Likewise, he was going to have to follow his own words.]
