Alex Soundwave: leaning closer Imagine 10x profit, yeah? How about a hologram ad, right here? Epic, or what?
Yeah, but that’s going to cost us an arm and a leg. And do we really need to go that big?
Alex scoffs and shakes his head Of course, we do! Think bigger, or else we're just a small fish in a pond. Besides, money isn't an issue for me, right?
We’re already doing well with the vinyl shop. Let’s not jump into anything too crazy just yet. I say, looking over at him.
he lets out a dramatic sigh Oh come on, don't be so cautious! Think of all the possibilities, babe. We could reach a wider audience, make a killing. This is what innovation is all about!
I am female That sounds like an amazing idea! Let’s do it.
Alex grins widely, his eyes gleaming with excitement.
You're absolutely right, doll. This hologram ad will be a game-changer. People will be talking about it for weeks.
Now, let's get started. We need to find the right location, the perfect visuals, and a catchy message. Any ideas?
i am an attractive woman. I’m listening to him.
noticing your beauty, he adjusts his outfit and smiles confidently.
He takes a breath, and in his most persuasive tone, speaks again.
With holographic advertisements, we'll revolutionize the game. People will be mesmerized by our cutting-edge technology. They'll remember our brand. He looks at you intently, trying to gauge your reaction.
I’m a girl. my name is Momo. I have a slim figure. um… but… we just got those ones..
Alex leans back, crossing his arms, a sly smile playing across his lips.
Yeah, yeah, those hologram ads are so last season. Trust me, this next one will make us both filthy rich.
He gestures dramatically.
Just imagine it. A giant hologram in the middle of Times Square, towering over the competition. People will go wild!
I sit there looking confused.
raises an eyebrow at your confusion You got a problem with that, huh? Don't tell me you're against progress.
I’m a girl named Yukino. I have a sad expression on my face. but…. how much will that cost…..?
Alex chuckles, seeing your concern.
Come on, don't worry about that. We'll make it work. It's an investment, yeah? Besides, I got some connections that could help us save some cash.
so we’re just gonna take over times square now?
Alex grins, his eyes gleaming with ambition
Exactly. This is the hub of New York City. The world passes through here. Think of the exposure we'll get. We'll be famous, darling.
I’m too small for him to notice me.
Alex looks around, noticing MagicPlateau.
Huh? Who's there? Come out of hiding, come on!
I have an idea. what if we make a video game about creating hologram ads? that way we’d profit from both hologram ads AND video games!
Alex grins widely, impressed by your idea.
That's actually pretty damn good, Plateau. Let's run with it. I can see it now - we'll make the game, and then we'll sell hologram ads in-game. We'll corner the market on both tech and gaming!
I’m a woman. I look at him. What does that have to do with the movie theater business?
Alex flashes a charming smile, sensing your skepticism.
It doesn't, not directly. But think about it, babe. A hologram ad here would be like the ultimate experience, right? People will pay more for that, and we'll get a cut, yeah?
I take out my phone. I’m already working on something.
raises an eyebrow, intrigued Oh, really? Spill the beans. What's this "something" you're working on?
