[ the camera turns on to show Betty Cooper, except... it's not Betty Cooper. meet her doppleganger. she's got short, dark hair (it might be a wig) and she's dressed provocatively. she gives the camera her most charming, seductive smile but there's frustration in her eyes and it tints her voice.]

Apparently, you have to be eighteen to be a "dancer" [ she uses air quotes ] at certain establishments.

[ cue an eye roll.] Does anyone want to hook a girl up with a fake I.D.?

[ ooc note: i'll add a content warning here just because she might be overtly sexual/flirty with people in the comments and she's only 17 which might make some people uncomfortable. ]

[ Oh, Christ. ]

Okay, first, how old are you really? Second, kind of pointless to ask about a fake I.D. on the network where everyone can see you, yeah?

[ she'll avoid the first question.] I doubt the people who run these places will care.

[Adam can't help but be amused by this, even though he knows this has got to be Betty's doppelganger.] New hobby?

Video

[perfectible]

[ she shrugs.] I feel like showing off.

[coppelganger]

No, maybe not.

[ Probably not. ]

[perfectible]

So... can you help? [ Cue an enticing smile.] I could make it worth your while.

[coppelganger]

Oh? Yeah, maybe. [ There's no way in hell, but Sarah doesn't want to make Betty hang up. ]

Why do you want to work at a place like that, though? You could do anything and make great money.

[perfectible]

I don't need the money. I just feel like showing off.

[fridgeflower]

Okay, cool.

This is a bad plan.

[coppelganger]

Oh. So it's for attention.

Video;

[perfectible]

And why do you say that? Because it's illegal?

[perfectible]

Obviously. I like it when they watch.

Video;

[fridgeflower]

Yeah, mostly that.

It's also skeevy on, like, so many levels.

[ Whoa, Betty. Matthew almost doesn't recognize her at first. ]

Um... I don't think that's a really good idea. You can get in trouble for using one of those.

[ Wait what does she even want it for, again? ]

Video;

[perfectible]

What's skeevy about it?

[perfectible]

[ Well if it isn't little boy Lynch.] I won't get caught. None of the club owners will care either. They just want to cover their asses.

[coppelganger]

Why?

[perfectible]

Why wouldn't I enjoy it?

[fridgeflower]

Putting people in a position of maybe facilitating underage... Y'know. Salacious work.

And putting people in a position of hopefully-unwittingly participating in said salacious work.

And, like. That stuff doesn't even matter in the face of, uh. Are you okay?

Video;

[perfectible]

It's just dancing. I'm not planning on doing more than that.

[ She looks unimpressed.]

I'm better than I've ever been.

Video;

[fridgeflower]

Well. Having been worse off doesn't mean you're okay now.

Video;

[perfectible]

I'm embracing who I truly am instead of pretending to be some goodie two shoes.

Video;

[fridgeflower]

How stereotypically good are we talking here? And did you just now decide on this route out?

Because sudden, drastic changes here are usually explainable and regret-inducing.

Video;

[perfectible]

No, I didn't just decide. I've always wanted to do this.

[ nope.]

Why does it matter to you if I regret my choices?

Video;

[fridgeflower]

Because I have empathy.

Not, like, superpower empathy. Just regular ol', human decency-based empathy.
