"ew. tumblr girls. even im not that desperate. moist or not." mariko says with a little laugh. mariko did always wonder if her music appealed to the awful people that populated tumblr. for the longest time she assumed tumblr was supposed to be a parody site. mariko leaned in too,like there possibly was life changing information about to be exchanged.mariko's face changes to a grimace of horror when she hears anniken speak about counting down to her own death. while mariko could be pretty oblivious to the death of people she didnt know. she hated hearing people just accept death. it was too much a reminder of the times she accepted she was going to die. "wow...i i guess i knew you would be...um in that age range." mariko said carefully. she hated being reminded of her age and assumed miss smith did too as she was being cleverly vague. "though you honestly dont look it. and thats not just the wine speaking." mariko laughed warmly. she found it funny how anniken's building was first and then her daughter. " you have a great outlook on life....im...between 25 and 40..." mariko says with a little laugh. "so i guess i've yet to reach into that level of zen. you um..wouldnt happen to have any valium on you now?" mariko asks with a little raise of the eyebrow. she could be serious,she may not be.

mariko giggles when anniken pretty much says she wont perform cpr on her. "a little more wine is just what the doctor ordered." she says while taking another drink. in any other profession,mariko would probably be said to have a problem,but in music? mariko wishes she could have given the answer anniken was looking for,but mariko pretty much couldnt be changed. she just responds with a cute shrug. as anniken talks,mariko slowly smiles at either the avoidance or lack of understanding of what she was asking. " come now,miss smith. you have need distractions of your own. no vices? no dirty little cabana boys tucked away in tahiti?" mariko asks,drinking again. she assumed everyone lived as she did. it seemed wierd as hell that someone liked to work all the time. it did sound like miss smith had a load of pressure on her. part of the reason mariko wasnt in a band was because she liked to control the show. she would hate the idea of her success and reputation riding on other people out of her jurisdiction. "you can rest assured that you have that worry with me. all killer,no filler....well maybe,but those were independent releases. " she says confidently. of course,mariko's idea of successful music was probably far different than anniken's.




ooc: sorry if this is all over the place. i have a new kitten and my cat went from ignoring her to now chasing her. ive been trying to keep them apart.

Ooc: they are starting to accept each other as of last night.i do love my kitties.id be lost without the original cat we have.

Mariko thought it was cute the way miss Smith tried to come up with a phrase to explain her youthful good looks . "Yeah.i do remember them saying that." Mariko nodded,totally going along with miss Smith." Here I was hoping you just bathed in the blood of virgins." Mariko says in over the top disappointment. Also disappointing was the lack of Valium. "Damn,you know I have to keep up the family tradition." She giggled.

Mariko frowns slightly at the prospect that miss Smith's days of fun were in the past. In a way, Mariko felt the same way. For better or worse,having people like vara or Nina in her life did make for exciting times. When asked about her progress,mariko puffs up in pride and announces," I have a single ready as we speak. I'm nurturing in hopes it will evolve to an ep. But it's stubborn and still in it's Magikarp form." Mariko had full intentions of being almost productive with her signing to Dahl house.

" I'll have to keep a lookout for the lunar schedule. " Mariko jokes. There probably was a cycle,but Mariko honestly paid little attention. The moon was either there,or it wasn't. " Yu-Gi-Oh?! Well that's it,my label head crush is now officially...um..whomever erich Hess' girlfriend is. Yu-Gi-Oh is weird."' Mariko laughs loudly. The only summon monsters thing she knew about was Pokemon and final fantasy. A lot of it all was just weird to her. While she was certain miss Smith knew far more about the music business side of things,Mariko wasn't sure she wanted to follow the advice. " Isn't that kinda cheap and underhanded? Why make people pay for songs they've already heard? All they will really want is the new stuff. I don't want to seem like a money grubbing pop star. " Mariko says slightly quieter than usual. She knew miss Smith knew what she was doing,but Mariko would have to be dragged kicking and screaming into the way things are normally done. She didn't even produce shirts or anything to sell.

There was always one thing that Chris was a sucker for and that was kids giving him the puppy eyes. It never seem to failed and so here he was driving kids to see the emoji movie thinking of a way to somehow get out of this. As he got to the movie theater he paid for their kid tickets and then looked at his cousin, "Look I'm going to be outside I know when the movie ends but if you want to go and do what you can normally do when we go to the movies have at it, your going to be here for a little while before going back home." he told his baby cousin. Back when they would watch movie they would movie hop from show to show. it wasn't like they were bootlegging it. She gave a cute "Ok" and then ran inside to where the kids were. For someone that was here for summer vacation kids sure do make friendship fast. He went across the street to get himself someone to eat cause he wasn't about to pay jacked up prices for popcorn or candy. He got to this burger spot that makes a killing being close to the movie theater and he wouldn't mind a burger himself. As he is in line Chris looks at this guy checking his pocket and he saw it the look of "damn it, I don't have any money." Classic, we all been there. "Yo, dude. you forgot your money somewhere huh. I got you home skillet." Chris said walking next to malik and checking his wallet. "We going to have to share some shit, I only got a $10"

"Sure we all been there before and I'm a good neighbor and what not but we spliting the hamburger and the fries I'm hungry too and I need to eat as well." Chris said getting up to the counter and looking for a deal of something. It was one thing to order for yourself it's another when you have another mouth on a ticket. He finds a two burgers and fries for 8 bucks thanks fast food gods. "Alright let me get the two burgers and fries for 8 bucks and two cups for water." After paying for the food and thinking about what to feed them kids afterwards he sat down and ate next to the new guy "So what's your name buddy?"

Tyler has been getting more an more into the public eye but he thing was media. He took notice from someone like Chris who really started with nothing and through a lot of hard work and tough times he was able to turn nothing into a job where he could rub elbow with famous rich successful people all for nothing and was treated well for it. That's what he wanted for himself and so here he was as a "On site" reporter to Pop Culture Catch Up. He met Joshua before at Coke's Party but they didn't talk as he kind of brushed him aside for Dae. He didn't mind he was there to do this job while back then was just for fun. Pushing and shoving his way through he got to the media section where people from all over were there to ask the guy questions. All types of dumb questions like "What do you feel about the damages," "What was that guy doing there to talk bad about you," "How much are you contributing to the cause," questions like these was simple answer to them. Tyler raised his hand and asked him a different questions. " You found out that there going to be a story about your life? Are you going to have any say to figure out if the movie is going to be actuate to you."

Tyler took notes from what Joshua said as everyone started to ask their questions. Once everything was said and done he got a chance to sneak away from the other reporters and was able to get to Joshua with a small wave. "Hey, I don't know if you remember me, I'm Tyler from before I was with Chris Walker the last time but I didn't get a good chance to meet you." He said holding his hand out for him.

Being known as a character on big brother help he guessed he didn't really like the fact that was a stand out trait but when you are out like that what are people supposed to think. "Yea I was on there landed at number 4." When he mentioned to have a seat he sat down and sho the guards to go back to security. "You know I also do media stuff, like reviews go on Chris's shows do my own web series. I'm not as famous or as well known as you but hopefully I could be reminded as someone more than a reality show contestant." He said as he looked around to see people leaving with just a few people around. "It was a great thing you did, I wish others did things like this but this really out of your character for being really outspoken. I'm amazed you can be so opinionated while in a career where individuality is frown upon from labels."

OOC: Quick side note you don't know how many time I came to this page then had to get up and do something, I been trying to write this little bit since like 9am.

"Oh yeah the fourth one with crazy Tyron in it. That was a good one." As Joshua congratulated him on place fourth he shrugged his shoulders " I was already I wish I knew you sooner it would have been better if you were on the show now that I think about it." When talking about his position and what it means to be rich and successful I felt like he had to talk about it. "True only you can be responsible for you and no one else. I feel like others in your position tend to pass the buck when it comes to things like this." Having the boss like Billy most have been something to see, he wonder what the first meeting must have been something to see. "I bet Billy must be a riot to report to, What are you getting ready to do now? You going to hang out with some friends and whatnot."

Tyler laughed as Joshua brought up the negatives of being on shows and while it had it draw back with the lack of interactive when people leave, and it can be pretty boring. "Yea, They put people on those kind of shows for drama and clashes of opinions. I don't think it was all that entertaining on the inside with the stuff they cut that was too boring to show on tv, I think you could win and it does show people in a different light." He say thinking about the people he was on the show with, he didn't really feel like he did anything special on the show he just did things to stop being bored "I think you just get used to being in the environment. I feel like you could win, Payton won and he is quite......something." he said trying to think up a word for him. When talking about the millionaires who wouldn't do much he felt the same way about it "Yea, a lot of them are life that they treat money like it is something they can take with them when they died." He wanted to laughed as he talked about Johnny leaving him to his own devices. "It is strange to see you in person being so social while online people have a wide range of options of you. and people person isn't one of them."
