001 ♣ text, action
So! I figured I'd use Retrospec for something productive today. Tomorrow is Valentine's Day! Papa's latest movie comes out on DVD tomorrow, which means MY latest movie comes out on DVD tomorrow. It's called "At the End of a Song". And to promote it, Papa and I will be doing a signing event at the big video store in Tisse - I know it's normally more a thing for books, but it should still be fun! Come down and see us tomorrow afternoon. [Shortly after this message goes up, a link to an IMDb page for said movie is added quietly.]
[action | 2/14, afternoon]
[True to her word, Alicia can be found at a table in the movie and music place in Tisse with her father and a few other folks, along with a large stack of Blu-Rays on a table next to them and a big poster on an easel. The crowd seems... relatively small, which is fine given it's not exactly a big-ticket release, but Alicia's excited and upbeat all the same, wearing a cream-colored dress markedly similar to one her character wore in the movie. She's doing her very best not to get distracted, given one of the studio people is also here: she greets people as they come over, carefully doesn't pull too much attention from the rest of the store, and generally remains a ball of energy.
When someone swings by, she turns a megawatt smile toward them.]
Hi, thanks for coming down! I'm so excited to be able to share At the End of a Song with more people - did you see it when it was in the theater?
[...perhaps a little too enthuastic, mind, but she's working hard. That's worth something, right?]

I'm glad that you get to spend time with him like this. I imagine he can be pretty busy? ... And oh, thank you.
[Rachel takes the case back, and takes a moment to read the note left for her. It takes a little bit, but once she's done... her face is red, and she's unable to hide the fact it's made her emotional.]
That... that's really sweet of you. Alicia. I don't know what to say...
no subject
He does get busy. Recording is hard, and Mama helping with the editing makes it even harder sometimes, but we get by. So times like this are nice, when we can get them.
[The reaction when Rachel reads the note in the box, on the other hand, is much more pleasant, and she just smiles softly.]
You already did, really. After everything, this much is the least I can do. I'm glad I didn't miss the mark, though - for a minute I thought I was being a little too forward.
no subject
[She smiles a bit more, focusing on the note.]
We've had this discussion before, I think. I'm okay with you being honest like that, Alicia.
no subject
I try to just say what I'm thinking most of the time, though. It's easier on everyone, and I find it gets the reporters to leave me alone faster when the story dries up in ten seconds. For mundane things, at least. But I'm not going to apologize for it! [She's cheery about that much, at least.]
no subject
... Do uh. Do you have to worry a lot about reporters? [She looks nervous, suddenly wondering if all their hanging out together will have consequences...]
no subject
[Alicia sees through Rachel's nerves in a heartbeat, laughing lightly.]
Not often, not unless something significant happens. It helps that I'm seventeen - not only do they need to control themselves, but in the grand scheme I'm not that interesting. They won't bother you, and they won't bother me about whose company I keep.
no subject
[She laughs nervously.] You already know about me and the spotlight, right?
