THE IC INBOX MEME
How this works:
-Every comment thread will be a different character's inbox. (Email, texting, whatever works.)
-Leave them a message
- TFLN, mistexts, butt dialing, SERIOUSLY JUST ANY DUMBSHIT PHONE STUFF YOU WANT
- Shenanigans

Maybe~
But...
This doesn't have anything to do with the idol thing.
Or it doesn't if you don't want it to.
But if I'm part of your family now, I should be part of the family business too, shouldn't I?
Otherwise, what am I reading all those boring business books for~

[He's not surprised. And he doesn't necessarily object. Three people dealing with the company might normally get complicated, but she has a (relatively) stable head on her shoulders and would never attempt to drive KC into the ground. He's less sure that his shareholders and board will understand, but that's a future problem. Nepotism has never exactly been a problem, either, save for when rivals kidnap Mokuba.
Gods above, he might like to see someone try to kidnap Manaka, but the potentially bloody aftermath might be too much paperwork to be worth it.]
Could be you're reading them to try and steal someone else's business out from under them. Which is underhanded and in no way officially endorsed by Kaiba Corp. ["officially"]
Any area that particularly catches your interest? We can give you something minor to oversee to test how well you do.
tbh just ignore this if you want, I just have a lot of feelings about them again!!!
At least, not on the internal side.
That's why I've been thinking about PR, and that sort of thing.
I think I'd be good at it. Don't you? All I have to do is be cute and make people think I'm telling them what they want to hear, and you've already said that I'm cute~
[ Maybe she's simplifying the art of it, just a little bit. But she does know that her appearance puts her at a distinct advantage, so far as being charming goes. ]
SIBLING FEELS
Perfect for a job like that.
[He loves his little sister and will never be afraid to calls it likes he sees it. She understands.]
I can set something up with the current PR team and see how things get run, see how you might like it and go from there. I'd prefer to get you comfy running things behind the scenes before getting you behind a social media keyboard or in front of a camera first of course, but that's something to work up to.
[Baby steps, but steps he's sure will turn into giant leaps. He doesn't want to shake things up too much in case it ends up being something that doesn't hold her attention. Enough balls to juggle between public advertising and private sector publicity, he hopes it would, especially if it's her idea. Creative.
God, the idea of her actually being a face and voice for the company... He doesn't know if it's a concern. Who she is. Who she is now. The weight a name like his carries. It's a while before he raises the question, but eventually, another text goes through:]
How do you feel about being a Kaiba in public?
no subject
I'll be the brightest intern your PR team has ever had~
[ His suggestion is reasonable, and enough to satisfy her. As such, Manaka is happy to let the subject drop there. That he nonetheless follows up with weightier thought of his own doesn't surprise her, though; Manaka's own answer is immediate. ]
Why would I feel differently about it than being a Kaiba in private?
I abandoned being a Sajyou when I chose to return here with you.
That would be true whether or not any formal papers were signed.
Of course, I never had any future as a Sajyou anyway ♡
[ She dashes off that last line with a flippancy that doesn't suit the words. Another quick text follows, and then there's a longer pauses as she punches out a lengthier third. ]
Or do you mean the pressure to protect your image?
You already know that I have to put on a face for other people.
And that's not really any different than being a Sajyou, anyway. I would have been expected to put on a smiling face for the magi at the Clocktower, take a husband of good breeding, and avoid standing out too much.
I don't think I've ever told you what happens to those of us with abilities that stand out just a little too much, have I?
Not that it matters, of course. None of the Clocktower's enforcers would have been able to take me into custody.

I think there are things about each other and our worlds we haven't told each other than we probably should.
[It's careful. An invitation to continue the train of thought if she wants, and an invitation to set it aside for later if she wants.]
no subject
But the Mage's Association doesn't mean anything in this place.
I just mean to say that businessmen are an improvement. They're almost as bad as magi, but as far as I know, they don't usually try to have you killed when you're talented enough to be a threat to them.
Usually.
[ More than that, and this is a conversation better suited to having when she gets home. That's part of the reason for her flippant tone; if she acts like nothing she's saying has weight, it doesn't seem like she's revealed anything of importance. ]
no subject
[Hard to get his wry intonation and smirk across via text. He's definitely been targeted to be killed for being talented enough to be a threat to other businesses, but he is well aware that he's an outlier and should not be counted.]
I know it's an exceptionally low bar to clear, but I'm still glad to be an improvement over crusty old bloodthirsty magi.
We can talk about the particulars at home.

Okay ☆
I'll be back in a little bit. I just wanted to take care of a little personal shopping.
