003. Text // You've only spent a second of your life

[manufactured]

I'm currently seeking people to assist with a personal project of mine. Details are best discussed in person; if you're interested, reply here and I can give you an address at which we can meet to go over what this particular favor would entail. If you have any immediately pressing questions, I suppose I can answer those as well.

Though I will say upfront that it's a paid request, not something I'm expecting you to do for free; I can afford to pay very handsomely for it, actually – something that I'm sure will be appreciated at least somewhat, given this time of year.


[OOC: This is with regards to some...at least mildly unethical and utterly unsanctioned clinical trials for something Wesker's been working on; I promise it will not kill or otherwise harm your character, worst case is literally "congratulations, it's fucking nothing" - a log will go up at some time later for further discussion, should there be takers.]

It's not illegal is it?

[Listen she doesn't want to get deported back to Japan for helping random strangers. Also, Sakura, why are you here, child]

[manufactured]

[...Honey.]

Are people really so bold as to be advertising for assistance with illegal activities over the network now?

[imaginex]

When put like that, probably not, sir.

Though I admit I'm more accustomed to boldness here than in Japan.

[manufactured]

...I can't argue that much, admittedly. That's entirely fair.

[imaginex]

You're familiar with... Japanese sensibilities then?

[The nice way of putting it.]

[manufactured]

More through hearing about them than experiencing them for myself. I've never left the city, personally.

Did you come here recently, then?

[imaginex]

About four months back, yes.

It's been interesting adapting to American culture, though I'm sure the strangeness of the city has complicated things.

I don't think most city have mistletoe bats that require a kiss before they'll leave anyone in peace.

[manufactured]

To my knowledge, that's fairly outside the quintessential American experience, yes.

...Most cities' social media networks are slightly more sane than this overall, though I may be mistaken regarding that.

[imaginex]

Oh I'd agree with that.

Japan forums are quite strange, but the retrospec app exceeds expectations. My family would probably have a heart attack if they saw any of this.

[manufactured]

In fairness, most of it is a bit much even for those of us who have been here for a while.

...Granted, several people also waste no time in expressing their opinion on it when that's the case.

[imaginex]

I've noticed. We have quite a few assertive personalities here.

Though to return to the original point, I would not mind assisting you in your endeavors! I admit, the holiday season was more expensive than I expected.

[manufactured]

Consider your willingness to assist noted and appreciated, then. Would you mind it if I got in contact with you after a while to establish a date and time? We can discuss things further then.

[imaginex]

Of course. Whatever is most convenient for you.

[manufactured]

Certainly.

That said, however - I don't believe we've met before now...?

[imaginex]

Oh sorry! I forgot my manners.

I'm Sakura Tohsaka.

[manufactured]

It's fine; they seem to have gone by the wayside on both accounts.

Albert Wesker. It's a pleasure.
