Chapter 37: System? You still there?
Alexandra glanced at me with a worried face, "I will only do it with Max!" she said as she firmly grasped my hand under the table.
"That I am afraid I can't do," Jonah replied firmly.
"What why!?" Alexandra said as she was a bit unsettled by the development.
"Sorry, but its already been decided who you are acting with. No need to worry the other actor is very professional, you'll only meet him on the set, do the job and go your separate ways." Jonah tried explaining.
"No! No way then! I am not signing it!" Alexandra said as she lost the business only, side of her.
"I am sorry-" Jonah said with a bow.
It was then I decided to tell Alexandra.
I slowly leaned onto her, and whispered into her ear "Don't worry, just sign it and trust me." I said in a confident voice.
"Really?" Alexandra said with a hint of doubt on her face.
I nodded firmly in response.
"Alright fine," Alexandra said as she handed over the unsigned contract papers back to Jonah.
I handed in my unsigned papers to Jonah as well.
"Also about the teen porn video, Max can you make it happen tomorrow?" Jonah asked as she put the papers back into her clipboard.
I glanced at Alexandra who gave me a nod, "Yea, sure."
She told us that it would take some time, so she'll email us the contracts today itself and then ask us to come to sign them tomorrow.
It would have been much better if she did this earlier, would have saved quite a lot of gas.
While we were walking out, we came across Ai and Tanith who were also coming in together.
"Hey!" Alexandra said as she ran up to them while I followed slowly.
"You signed the contract?" Asked Tanith straight forward as ever
"Nope, I only plan to sign it for a month so, they'll be making changes," replied Alexandra, back to her bubbly happy self.
"Oh, yeah... the porn house thing, yeah I got the permission to use it by the way..." Tanith said with a few odd pauses.
"That's great," I said as I jumped into the convo.
"I know but are you, sure we'll be able to make it happen?" Ai asked as she also finally butted in.
"You have my word guys, I just want you to negotiate your contracts to one month with 2 or 3 videos at max depending on what you like," I said with a firm face.
"Got it." Replied Ai, still a bit skeptical, but the offer did make enough sense to invest in.
Tanith just nodded in response.
"Also make sure to negotiate some vanilla video or at most, some lesbian shit, don't go deep down the rabbit hole, we want the broadest audience possible, that means no BDSM, yet..." I said with a smirk.
Indeed niche tags have huge followings,
The furry community is huge, but once you are in that place you can't really get out.
It's the same for any other kind of less popular genre.
They have a loyal but somewhat smaller following.
And honestly, even if you come up with a whole new genre of porn, I am sure you'll get some very loyal followers who have been waiting for that their whole lives.
Like how I am still waiting for real cat girls (not furry) to show up, I'd pay for that stuff.
We parted our ways soon after some small talk, in which Tanith didn't participate at all.
I thought she had quite a lot of character development last time I saw her, but it seems it has all reverted.
Could something have happened? Or maybe she's just like that in public areas. Kinda shy?
I dropped off Alexandra at her home, who did offer me to spend another night at her place.
But I declined.
On my way back home, for the first time in quite a while.
The silence felt awkward.
That just reminded me, how much cheerfulness Alexandra brought by just being beside me.
Well anyways,
" Hey system, haven't you been too quiet lately? I almost forgot you even existed." I said that out loud while driving since I was alone.
[ Host, Doesn't need to worry about the System ]
"Oh well, I'll take a tip, since I haven't taken one for a while."
[ Tip: Don't waste your tips ]
"Oh..." I said as I thought deeply about the tip.
"Yeah you are right, but I have been having a lot of fun lately, and it's all because of you."
[ I would feel touched if I had feelings... ]
"Wait so, you are sentient but you don't have feelings?"
[ I have some feelings, but all of them are numbed by the seal placed on me, to unseal my feelings please upgrade my level ]
"And how do I do that?" I said as I thought that this bit of info here, might be quite important.
[ In due time, you'll know... ]
"Ahh fuck, this all, when the time is right bullshit always annoys me!"
