Coffee Talk Episode 2: Hibiscus & Butterfly [Game Demo]
Isabel Ye for Riona
Riona (30-40) Is a woman who has a mysterious and supernatural aura around her. She talks with a smooth, silky voice, but it's laced with a hint of bitterness that gives you that cold feeling on the back of your neck. She dreams of making it big on stage, but she's held back by competition and assumptions that she should be way "better" because of her race.
(Context: Riona has just entered the store, and is calmly placing her order while the two sitting next to her are seriously freaked out by her.)
NEUTRAL "Can I place my order? What do you have? ... I'd like something soothing for my throat... and for my mind."
(Context: Riona explains the types of comments she received on a video of her singing opera.)
SAD: "There were... a lot of comments telling me to "stop screaming" and to take my video down. Because they didn't want to get cursed and die yet. Many others wanted to know who and where my "handler" was..."
(Context: Riona is enraged by the idea of being perceived as "chill" for the racist remarks she received online.")
ANGER: "Chill...? Do I look... chill? But, how can you be... CHILL...? -- WHEN SUCH BLATANT DISRESPECT THROWN IN YOUR FACE LIKE THAT?!"
