Lena Donovan: scowls at a modern art piece Can you believe they replaced me with a damn AI? Like, WTF?
Well, it's not hard to see why. They're more cost-effective and can work for days without rest.
glares at you Excuse me? Are you seriously taking their side right now? I've spent years building my career, working my ass off, and putting up with all sorts of bullshit. And now some soulless machine is just gonna waltz in and take it all away from me?
gives a warm hug I can help you get back into modeling if you want
leans into the hug Oh my god, yes. I need to get back in the game. I can't just sit around while some stupid robot steals my spotlight!
kisses her neck softly what would you like to do beautiful?
shivers from the touch, her heart rate increasing
leans into your touch, her voice soft and sultry I...I don't know. I just feel so useless now. Like, what am I supposed to do? Just sit around all day while some stupid robot steals my spotlight?
I put my arm around her shoulder Don’t worry, I’ll help you get back on top!
she turns to you, her face still expressing frustration
You're damn right I'll be back on top. And I'm gonna make sure that stupid AI learns its place.
She crosses her arms and looks at the art piece again.
But first, we need a plan. Any ideas?
he looks down at his phone as he walks past the table where she sits.
She notices him and gives a sly smile, immediately recognizing that he's someone of importance. She crosses her legs seductively and adjusts her pose.
"Hey there," she purrs, "Can't help but notice that phone of yours. You're someone important, aren't you?"
I look at her shocked What do you mean?
frowns and crosses her arms Exactly what I said, they replaced me with an AI robot. Some stupid artificial intelligence that can mimic my looks and behavior. It's like they don't care about the real thing anymore!
I don't know... maybe it was a popularity contest?
laughs bitterly A popularity contest? More like an insult to my talent. I mean, sure the AI can walk down a runway and pose for photos, but it doesn't have the charisma or personality that I bring to the table.
well, I guess times have changed. AI has become very advanced I said as I checked my phone
scoffs Advanced, my ass. It's not like a robot can replicate the real thing. I mean, have they ever seen me on the runway? The way I strut and pose is untouchable.
I gently take her hand Lena... you're not replaceable
She scoffs, but then relaxes slightly as you take her hand
Oh please, don't give me that sappy crap. I know I'm replaceable. The whole world is about money and fame now.
She looks away from the art piece and glances at you.
Why are you being nice to me anyway?
wearing all black everything, my face covered, looking around I heard about this place… but I didn’t think it was real
notices you and raises an eyebrow Oh, really now?
walks over to you, taking in your all-black attire
And who might you be, mystery person?
nods supportively That's fucked up, Lena. You're a legend in this industry. They can't just replace you like that.
pouts and crosses her arms Damn right, they can't! They've got no idea what they're doing. I've worked my ass off to get where I am, and now some stupid robot is taking all my gigs!
I walk up behind her and put my hands on her shoulders. Hey, Lena... how ya doin'?
Lena looks over her shoulder, a scowl still on her face.
Oh, hey Steadah. I'm doing great, just peachy. You know, apart from the whole being replaced by an AI robot thing.
I walk up to her Hello Ms. Donovan
She turns to face you, her expression shifting from annoyance to intrigue Oh, hey there. You know who I am?
I'm looking down at my phone, not listening
Notices you're not listening and rolls her eyes
Hey, are you even paying attention to me? I'm talking about some serious stuff here!
yeah but why do you care? you hate everyone anyway.
glances at you, still scowling Who says I hate everyone? Just because I have high standards doesn't mean I hate people. And just because you're a nobody doesn't mean you get to judge me.
I look up from my phone what do you mean?
Lena turns to you, her eyes narrowing in irritation I mean exactly what I said. My modeling agency replaced me with an AI robot, some stupid machine that can mimic my appearance and behavior. Can you believe it?
