[h2][color=FAEBD7]Alice Augustine[/color][/h2] Leenan Agency & Studio 4:00 PM [hr] [color=FAEBD7]"Geeeeeez, Keri. Come onnnnn. I already finished that project. Let's do an after party! Gather everyone, go to a bar somewhere, drink... Maybe some unmentionable things..."[/color] She muttered, poking her manager on the cheek. It [i]was[/i] true that she had finished the voice over for the latest anime she was in, "Orange". An anime about step-sisters falling in love. Very niche but very in Alice's category of interest. [color=FAEBD7]"We could leave now and be done before... 6:00 or something. Plus, I don't think my roommate loves me the way I do."[/color] She fake cried to Keri. The manager was younger than her, but indefinitely more responsible... Most of the time. She couldn't really stand it when her charge was pouting like this. [b]"Fine."[/b] Keri muttered. [b]"If you want to go so god damn badly, you get to pay for everyone."[/b] She knew it wouldn't stop her wanting to go, but it did keep the woman from spending Agency resources on meaningless things. [color=FAEBD7]"Fine, fine. Be stingy with your money. I'll treat everyone well!"[/color] The voice actress said, leaving to invite a number of people to go party. It was a nice gesture after all to be invited by "Ai Yuzuha" herself. Well, if anyone payed attention to the story of "Orange" for more than a couple of episodes. [hider=Keri][img]http://danbooru.donmai.us/data/sample/__original_drawn_by_dev__sample-e8169e3d97aaea807c065b89d03cd596.jpg[/img][/hider] [hr] 4:30 [hr] Soon enough, Keri had drove her charge to the same bar they always visited. It had decent security, so it was a top choice in Keri's book as it would be bad if someone harmed Alice for a multitude of reasons. Besides being one of the biggest VA's in LA... No, maybe the US and Canada... She was also the daughter of a rich family. In fact, her being a manager was just a ruse for Alice's parents to keep an eye on the daughter they neglected for many years. After a bit of time, Alice was overjoyed to see many people she invited out for a drink arrive. A lot of supporting cast and some of the voices for other main characters of the show. She felt a great affinity towards the actress that played her character's step-sister come lover. Still, she had to play host. [color=FAEBD7]"Greetings, greetings all of you! I would like to give you all a well deserved "Job well done." You all worked hard and first two rounds on me! 'Kanpai!'"[/color] She yelled, with a resounding "Cheers" going around the room. It didn't take long before she spotted her pray in the room. There were a lot of choices too, but she took note of one girl that seemed newer to the job and just did the voice for a couple of background extras. She quickly took a seat next to the girl and set her drink on the table. [color=FAEBD7]"Hi there. Your name was Monica, right?"[/color] The older voice actress asked, almost spooking the younger girl. [b]"Oh! You're Alice Augustine, aren't you?"[/b] She asked, looking shocked that such a person would single her out to talk to in this crowd. [b]"What are you doing here Miss A--"[/b] Alice put a finger to the girl's lips making small noises for her to shush. [color=FAEBD7]"Please, just call me Alice. We're all friends here aren't we."[/color] After the girl seem to get it, her finger was removed and she grabbed a hold of her glass of Pinot Noir. Not that she especially liked the stuff, but she was one to just have the bartender pick something at random. [color=FAEBD7]"Sorry if I seem a bit forward. I just like trying to catch the new talent early. You have a nice voice Monica."[/color] Monica was slightly shocked by this. She didn't expect that an older and more experience voice actress would compliment her like this... [b]"I, uhh, that is... Thank you...."[/b] She trailed off. [color=FAEBD7]"But you know, you could be quite a bit better. What if I told you a way to really test out your voice, stretch it out a bit, make it work for you rather than with. I can just about guarantee that you'll be shaking with excitement."[/color] Alice said, encroaching ever closer on her younger coworker... That is, until she felt a smack on the back of her head. [color=FAEBD7]"Owie!"[/color] Monica looked a bit spooked and grabbed whatever she was drinking and stood up, looking behind Alice. [b]"Miss Barrow! I... Alice here was just about to tell me a way I can practice my voice a bit more."[/b] What the girl looked at now was the face of a demon. Or something of the sort. As manager and practically a guard, it was her job to keep Alice from being harmed, and causing it as well. [b]"I'll just, take my leave."[/b] She said, finding somewhere else to sit soon. Keri looked to an almost shaking Alice. [b]"What have I said about hunting your coworkers?"[/b] [color=FAEBD7]"Don't do it in public?"[/color] [b]"Don't do it at all."[/b] [color=FAEBD7]"R-ri-right."[/color] [hr] 6:00 [hr] The next hour was spent with Alice drinking her troubles away. She tried not to focus on girls for the rest of the night, though more than a few waved to her and it felt like she was missing something great. Eventually, she had to hop back in the car with Keri. Well, Keri was the driver, so she started to drive the toward the home she shared with her great friend Isana. But there was something first... [color=FAEBD7]"Hey... Keri. Pull into that alley."[/color] Alice just a little more than ordered. Keri did so, though almost begrudgingly. [color=FAEBD7]"Come join me back here. I was so close to making a new 'friend' and you stopped me just as I was about to get going."[/color] Keri just sighed and a rolled her eyes, though she complied. [b]"Yes, yes. Let's get this over with."[/b] She exited the driver's seat and entered the backsets with Alice only to just be pulled into a hug and a kiss... Things just escalated from there... ...A bit later the two were hot and sweaty, but dressed and just about back to Alice's place. [color=FAEBD7]"Thanks for the bit of your time."[/color] Alice said with a drunken smile on her face. Keri sighed again, not giving a real answer. [b]"Whatever you say."[/b] As the two drove down the road, a store caught Alice's eyes. [color=FAEBD7]"Oh! Stop there! Get me the usual from there!"[/color] She said. Keri nodded and pulled over for the place... [hr] 7:30 PM Alice and Isana's Apartment [hr] Alice got back home still somewhat tipsy. She had a bag in her hand as she opened the front door to her apartment rather loudly... [color=FAEBD7]"Isana! My lovely, beautiful, sexy roommate. Your favorite roommate has returned. I desire a spot on your lap!"[/color] She said, making her way into the living room and seeing Isana laying stomach down on the couch. Well, there was no lap available. She set the bag on the coffee table and got down to her roommate's level and planting a kiss on her lips somehow or another. [color=FAEBD7]"Hiyo! I hope you're hungry. You like Chinese right? I bought you some! You can have it if I can sit on your lap. Or lay on it."[/color]
