factoring | Homophonic: Valerie

[ we are at! the eiffelffe tower! Valerie is craning her head up at it, squinting against the sun to try to see the top. ]

...Is this supposed to be the same size as the real one? Or just a cheap kitschy tourist trap?

[ also she's wearing a new outfit, with a sun hat and a golden bangle bracelet on her upper arm to complete the look. i can't believe i'm playing a character who engages in fashion for once ]

[ Val is so cute and she can rock those clothes. ]

Doesn't everything here feel like a tourist trap?

Probably. But it's not like I've been to the real ones to compare against.

I haven't had the opportunity to travel much either.

[Her job keeps her so busy.]

So you don't actually know the difference between this and the real thing anyway.

Maybe the real ones are just as touristy as this.

I'm certain they don't let people fight lions in the coliseum. The animal welfare groups would be up in arms.

[ They're endangered! ]

You think that part's unrealistic because of the animal welfare groups? They'd get sued for all they're worth the first time someone sprains an ankle in there!
