"Do I get paid this time?"

"Do I get paid this time?", you ask sarcastically, not wishing to endure any additional uncompensated ****. You had in fact hoped to enjoy a quick shower first, after which you could start to hunt down that director's assistant in order to shake him down for your payment. You figured you were owed a tidy sum for the discomfort and humiliation you had to endure with Willy.

"I haven't gotten a lot of money for my efforts so far...", you elaborate as you see Honey's confused look. You had started to notice this trend where people around here were very eager to get you on board for scenes, but seemed to be hard-pressed or downright unavailable when it came to finally compensating you for your 'acting'.

Honey casts you a sympathetic smile. "Did you fill in your payment details on the website?", she asks you, briefly glancing at the girl behind her. "You should be able to view the profits from your scenes there and get an indication of when your next payment is due".

"Wait, really?", you ask in a surprised manner. This was news to you. You vaguely recall having your picture taken 'for the website', but nobody ever bothered to give you any login information. This sounded like it would certainly help in getting a better picture of your incoming finances.

"Look. I can have someone show you all about it...", Honey tells you in a helpful voice, before revealing the catch: "... Once your next scene is done".

You narrow your eyes at her, but Honey simply returns big puppy-eyes.

"Please help us out now?", she asks, and you see the girl behind Honey also start to give you a pleading look. "I guarantee you it will be profitable", Honey encourages, maybe trying to tempt you with additional promises of payment. But promises don't pay the rent.

You sigh.
