Did someone say friendship blackmail? Cause, I somehow got that awful idea while I read your ideas, but it could be a funny way to get Ava to encourage Rei to go clubbing/partying/drinking with her and Rei somehow gets her atheist ass to church to suffer with her (plus I have an excuse for religious regains).

Hi! I play Ava, she is a rising star tennis player who is trying to become an international star, she is in her university studying business against her will because her parents are basically blackmailing and manipulating her entirely, but she made a bet with them to finally be set free (which is undecided if they'll keep their end of the bargain), so she parties to blow off some steam. Maybe, just maybe, they somehow crossed paths in one of the "influential parties" her parents would make when they were younger, they have an idea on each other's existence but doesn't go anywhere, but end up crossing paths in Recolle's nightlife and they recognize each other. Ava can now legally drink, but before she Feb she couldn't so she got Rei to buy her drinks and have been sorta blackmailing each other sense???

Idk if any of this makes sense, but it could be fun to have them be friends and Rei can get the load down on Retrospect and settle in more quickly because Ava has been around for a while????

Ah. Well, I can say with 100% certainty that Rei wouldn't buy underaged parties drinks. That's just a core thing I can't really see happening, especially not with how serious America takes that stuff vs Japan.

The rest of this I think could work really well though. Knowing one another from a party and pushing one another towards church and parties would work out. She'd just have to find a different source of booze.

Oh no worries! I totally get it.

All the same I am open to the idea of them knowing each other and having a mutual understanding of the reason they need to blow off some steam while keeping their images intact. I think Ava needs someone like that in her life right now because not many people know of her home situation except her half-brother who is in the game. I like to think Rei has an idea of what is going on and hence why she is trying to help her keep a clean public image while Ava wants to keep Rei's parents from not suspecting what Rei likes to do behind the scenes.

This idea sounds a lot better than the first one, now that I'm rereading it.
