[ video; mirror ]

[ she's used the marker from her dry erase board to write her numbers on the surface of a very large mirror, leaning against the wall of her bedroom, right across the foot of her bed. a few wayward clothes hang on one of the mirror's edges. it's evening, and the only source of light comes from a lamp on the bedstand, casting a warm glow on the room.

sonya herself is sitting on the floor in front of the mirror, cross-legged, in an oversized sleeping shirt. her long, brown hair has been tamed in a braid dangling over her shoulder. there's an open notepad and a pen resting beside her. the 'video' begins as soon as she finishes writing the last number, so it shows her leaning back, then laying her arm on her thigh. ]

Good evening. New addition, so on and so forth. I've read the guide.

As there are several four-legged friends among us, I'd like to introduce myself. Dr. Wood of Locke City Veterinary Clinic. Perhaps I've met some of you already?

[ those who have and remember the sound of her voice may find it odd. there's an accent to it, a certain roughness, that has never been there before. ]

You're a vet? [That's definite interest in his voice there.]

[forsakenwood]

[ she notices the interest and chooses to wait for him to express it rather than try and guess. ]

I am.

[salvagedlight]

Well... uh... I'm in college right now, but I'm studying to get into veterinary school...

[Just say it, Ben.]

I was just wondering, do you have any tips?

[forsakenwood]

Ah. Do you know what you'd like to practice?

[salvagedlight]

Probably just small animal care, dogs and cats, maybe birds and rabbits and stuff like that. But vet school is so competitive to start with - I want to try and get as much done early as I can, so I'm not waitlisted or rejected for years on end.
