>>20095978Two younger women exit the limo after her: a slender, fine-featured woman with light brown hair and blue eyes, and a petite, broad-featured woman with a slightly crooked nose, dark brown eyes, and a round face set in a nearly constant aimless smile. These are Carrie Reynolds and Annie Mishra. Annie looks straight ahead at the building with a blank smile, but Carrie raises an eyebrow. Her nose, wrinkles, and she is the first to speak.
>"It doesn't look like much. Shouldn't we be joining the Divine Angels, or the Oni Academy, or some sort of organization with some prestige, in order to get trained? I figure we'd wanna start with a leg up, you know?"Diana Ito laughs. "No, absolutely not! This is your adversity arc! We'll get about a season, or however long it takes, out of showing you 'struggling' while you're training here and trying to make it. Trust me, this is a gold mine, WWA fans LOVE to see the Dojo girls on the rise. Last year, this Arkansas hillbilly fall off the turnip truck and landed here, without half the natural talent or presence that you ladies have, and inside a couple months she was getting modeling contracts and title shots thrown at her. Imagine what it's gonna be like for YOU, with your natural gifts, and The Agency behind you!"
Annie claps her hands together cheerily as they approach the building.
"OhmyGOSH! I can't believe it! We're actually in the WWA! First thing I'm gonna do is get Keron Croakie's autograph."
Diana Ito winces and sighs. "I, uhh, got some bad news for you, Annie."
