Freweini looks at the website, tapping her chin with a finger. She lets out a "hmmm..." As she grabs her cell and sends a short text. ((In case that jig is still running, I've sent an IG sms. Feel free to reply there or with a forum PM))

I do have to surface every 25 seconds... Missed that mark a couple times though... ^^,

Update with more diary/portfolio entries, Updated relationships part

Except that you actually crash and die when the game client crashes or timeouts?

Crowded night yesterday at the Vault...

Updated with plenty of stuff, namely: Portfolio and diary and... updated story and more tiny bits and that...

We didn't save the world but that was fun...

Quick memorabilia from the Vault's May 18th opening.

Please, please! Tell me recruitment is open! I beg of you!!!!

Portfolio & diary entries: May 13th, 2018: Arrived in Los Santos and managed to find employment in a restaurant for a certain Johnny. May 14th, 2018: Met Johnny again, he had that guy Andreas in charge of the restaurant. opening was real messy though. Only me doing service, plenty of customers... Few of them ended up being satisfied and I was apparently the only one realizing this was bad business... Money... You just mention it and people start acting stupid. They want money so hard they'd settle for getting small amount now rather than getting big money over time... May 15th, 2018: So apparently people think Vespucci area is the new black. Mkay! Why not people... So they all went to buy their ugly houses. Ten bucks they'll get bored of that before the end of the week... Eventually had a chat with Andy... Not sure I liked it. It's disturbing how he put misunderstand everything one say and twist it to feel his own depressive self. I wonder if I can get him to see that? Get him better? May 16th, 2018: Situation with Andreas gone out of control and crashed. Took only an evening and he's gone out of my life. Situation with Johnny also crashed for reasons I won't tell or write in here. On a positive note, I hit work as bartender in the Vault. It was a quiet opening but pay was good. John who's managing the club for its unknown owner did good. Seems more serious and commited than Johnny and Andy... May 17th, 2018: Not much to do today so I did what I do best... May 18th, 2018: What a day! What a long and eventful day! Met with Austin of SAAR in Paleto, had an interesting chat and run a quick errand in the wilderness. Nothing world changing but quite good and funny to do! Then I met Horatio who answered my taxi request by coming on a plane. Sounds silly but it was very fun and the man seemed nice despite his tatooes and Hell's Angels look. What else we had a Vault opening and John says he wants me to become part of his company. Not sure yet. May 19th, 2018: Usual stuff... Diving and vaulting. May 20th, 2018: Sunday long day? This one certainly was! Morning weather was pretty good so I spent most of it diving near... Catfish cape... I think it was at least. Someone called for an afternoon beach party. I won't pretend I care about parties but beaches? Fuck yeah! Saw John and Simon doing their usual stuff and trying to get more contracts for future events like this. Saw Horatio and we actually had a long chat about me, him and his business plans. And then there was another Vault opening. I don't know who had the idea, John or our extremely shaddy overboss, but they began offering VIP access. Customer pays three grands and gets full access to the club and free drinks... That means lots of work or, more to the point, lots of free work. That certainly brings customers to the club but that means far, far less money in my pocket. I eventually raised the point with John at the end of the shift. Dunno what he'll make of it. I also broke the news to him that I won't be bartending around here forever, that I had other plans and all that. I'm not sure he took it well. And then... Long chat with El! I like her a real lot. I'd be rude to say she ain't smart but there is an underlaying naivety to her that is both touch and scarry. For example she said she wanted to move on to "adult entertainment"... Not a good idea, El'! Who knows who's going to screw you in front of TV. All my bets are on shaddy characters that won't ask your permission to do what shit they want. I've always been convinced only weirdos and gangsters do that shit... I dearly hope she'll listen to me, unlike that weirdo, crybaby, emo-kid Andy. May 21st, 2018: Strong wind this morning so I followed my guts and didn't go for a dive. Drove downtown and was welcomed with a sudden storm. That probably count as avoiding death... Spent most of the afternoon looking through petty details over the net, my business plans are starting to shape up in my mind and I can't wait to put them into action. Gonna have to be patient though... Day off for the Vault team but El and I met up to head to some beachside restaurant. We were promised a dinner of crab that didn't ever happened but that wasn't the worst of it... Freaks! Freaks and creeps everywhere and especially overboss, his drunkard cousin, John and Simon. Just like the Vault this felt like another of their money-laundering operation. Service was shit, customer satisfaction inexistant... A fuckin' tourist trap... Except that we were the fuckin' tourist. Car show at the garage under the highway. El' won five grands along with that weirdo in Pink Panto and fancy clothes... We bailed out only to be followed around by some weird-ass stalker freak... So we headed to Mirror Park and bim! Once again we found John and Simon. El's pretty sure they been following us... I dearly hope they're not gonna try and threaten me into not living their club... Well if they do, they're in for quite the surprise... El and I "drove" (more technically raced) all the way to Catfish lighthouse. Angry sea, long chat... El's going to Spain in a few weeks for a few weeks. I'm still surprised of how badly I took the news. I mean... I know her for what? Three days? Four tops! She's grown to be a pretty serious point of anchor in my social life. I like her a real lot. Then we "drove" to Sandy Shore airstrip to meet Horatio. Introduced both of them in hope to show El a couple alternatives for her future career. I really don't want her to go to Spain but I'm really curious to see what ideas and decisions she takes after these vacations of hers. Her return from Spain will be my deadline for my own business start. More to come on that later on...

Johnny: Andreas "Andy": George "Geo": John: Simon "Sir": Austin Daniels: Horatio "Plane-dude": Elektra "El": Ismael "Overboss" Dobroshi: "Champagne Lady": Ardit "Overboss-cousin": Background information: Part I: Across the sea... Story starts with one Merhawi Torrente, descendant of an Italian occupant whose blood had been diluted with local inbreeding. Merhawi was a simple man as there are many across the world. This one man in particular had a small shack on the coast of the red sea and an even smaller boat which he used to sail and fish. Around age sixteen, Merhawi was introduced to a younger Birikti Afewerki and their marriage was arranged by their parents as was the custom. Within a few months, Birikti was pregnant and gave birth to healthy son named Dahlak in 1974. Nineteen seventy-four also marks drastic political changes in Eritrea with the fall of Emperor Haïlé Sélassié Ist and his replacement by a military junta known as the Derg. As is often the case during revolutions a vicious and ruthless purge was then enacted. With his Italian last name, Merhawi quickly found himself targeted. Next year, he eventually decided to take his boat, wife and child and sailed toward Europe. Caught in a storm, Merhawi’s tub sank within seconds. Unable to save both child and wife, the young man was forced to watch his wife drown and die. Later recovered by Fast Attack craft HS-Pezopoulos, from the Hellenic Navy, father and son were brought back to Salamis Naval Base, in Greece. From there they were granted political asylum in Greece and, later on, in the USA where the Torrente settled in early 1980s. A lone father with a rather turbulent child, Merhawi had a hard time trying to adjust to American life for, like most people of third-world countries, he had been given a dream version of the US that clearly wasn't any close to the truth of it. Merhawi worked hard in all kind of tedious jobs to earn what money he needed to raise his son. He eventually found alternative childcare and returned to the hard and ungrateful work of a sailor. This eventually led to tense relations between father and son for one had sea as a wife and the other had lost her mother to it. Merhawi eventually associated with fellow sailor James Williams to buy their own boat, open their business and, in the end, marry their son and daughter. From that union was born on May 31st, 1991 a healthy little girl named: Freweini Torrente... Part II: The sailors, the father... and their mermaid Freweini had a pretty peaceful childhood even though she found herself caught inbetween her sea-farring grandfathers and sea-hating father. As is often the case, these tensions escalated to a climax that coincided with Fre's teenage. Dahlak eventually understood that his daughter was much more like his father than as him and there was no forbidding her from answering the call of the sea. For her sixteen's birthday, he offered her a complete scuba gear that she's still using nowadays and protects as her most precious treasure. School-wise, Freweini had marks below the average not because she was stupid but because she spent most of her time daydreaming and looking through the windows. She quickly dropped of school, took part-time works on the land and part-time with her grandpas' fishing on the coast. As both men grew older though, they were forced to stay more and more away from the sea. Fre had to find herself a more serious job and she applied to become a full-time commercial diver and underwater welder. It took her a lot of effort but once Fre has something in her mind, she can become an extremely hard-working and commited woman. <missing content, reason: WIP>

Nice Mina's Nice Transportation Hi! I’m Niazmina Staniksai, Mina for shorts! Some of you already know me for being that nice lass operating a yellow cab at a discounted price all around Los Santos. But you know what? Taxis are so 2017! Outdated! Th’s why, I’m bringing Nice Mina’s Nice Transportation into your lives! Woohoo! Wait Mina… You was the coolest and cheapest taxi in town. Why stop? Long story short… Safety! While I’ve had the pleasure of drive some really nice customer around, I’ve also had the unfortunate chance of being threatened, harassed, insulted, robbed, hijacked, chased and rammed into… Just within five days! I did think about quitting, finding some easy peasy comfy work behind a desk but… meh! There are customers out there, people in need of a car to drive them from A to B and who am I to leave them on the pavement while it rains? Personal side note: Kentucky? If you’re reading this… Here’s my middle finger! What is Nice Mina’s Nice Transportation then? Nice Mina’s Nice Transportation is an Uber-like private transportation service but… Mina-style! Would you please elaborate on the Mina-style part? I’ve always had customer satisfaction and cheap prices at heart and that will not change. Mina-style means that you’ll pay little for a good service! That is my promise to you, dear customers! Wow, wow! Easy girl! We’re in Los Santos! Where’s the ripe-off? There’s none! And if you doubt that… Try us, you’ll be convinced in no time! Okay! What’s the fare of a ride, girl? Hundred bucks per yard? Nope! We offer a fixed fare rate of 250$... Wherever you go, whenever you need to go and however you need to go? One person? Two? Three? Got luggages? Need to stop on the way? 250$ per fare! Plain and simple! No condition on the price! What? You’re kidding me, Mina! That’s twice the rate you had when being a taxi! Lemme explain a few factors and you’ll soon see my point here: A. Considering just my base earning (that is not counting the tips) I was barely able to cover the expenses of fuel and advertising of my taxi. B. You often pay more to cross the front-door of a club. So… Put things in perspective, will ya? Okay! I tried your car, we had a nice chat, a fairly smooth ride… I think it was worth more than 250$. Are you still going to complain about me giving you a huge tip? Nope, I won’t and I’ll take tips up to an extra 250$ per fare. How about I add another hundred bucks and run away leaving you with six hundreds in your hands? I thought about that and, as always, I came up with an idea. Any money above five hundred dollars will be handed to a charity who needs every little bit of money more than you or I do!. Being of half-Afghani, half-Iranian origins, I have a special love for Freedom through school, a UNICEF sponsored operation aiming at funding the construction and operating costs of schools for little girls in places like Afghanistan, Iraq, Sahel… Because War on Terror is not just sending you men to get killed overseas! Wow! Wow! That’s so nice of you, Mina! Anything else that Nice Mina’s Nice Transportation does to help better the world? Yup! I drive a Karin Dilettante hybrid car which means my business is has carbon-free as possible. Travelling with us is good for you, for your wallet, for the planet and for all those around you! How's your Dilettante safer than your old taxi? My Karin Dilletante is equipped with CCTV, GPS tracking and an emergency button that dials 911 without anyone realizing it.

April 29th, 2018: I had to leave the city in a hurry. Fly back to DC. Mom was apparently sic. Turns out she was dying and took her last breathe after seeing me. So? What now? I'm gonna have to stay here for a while, help dad sort things up. I forgot to tell Bo I was leaving. And with each passing day it becomes harder to look at the phone and wonder... What will I say when he'll call asking where I am? Why I left? I'm not coming back any time soon, luv... Maybe not before a few years... I think I'm gonna cry...

April 15th, 2018: Lots more of photos shot today. Did a series in the countryside and another one at the beach. Talked to some Weazel Official. Hopefully she likes what I do and that's good advertizing for Bo's studio. April 16th, 2018: Did lots of work for the photo agency. Bo came up with the logo, I did an Excel sheet to track our expenses and incomes, basic invoices, ads presentation, business cards... Also received my new camera, an old-fashion silver-halide roll Canon EOS 1V with decent lenses and flash. Spent the whole night out at Catfish shooting pictures. Some are crappy, a few are pretty amazing though... That's the magic of non-digital shots for you, each one is a game of Russian roulette! April 17th, 2018: Another day of shooting the city skyline and Vinewood hills. Also been talking with my handsome Bo and enjoying his presence... April 18th, 2018: Today marks the begining of new era! Sandersson Agency is online and rocking. I arranged a meeting with Mr Leone of five shots. Unfortunately Bo got to do the work instead of me but... Well that's his gig, right? Leone ripped us on the price though... I just hope he'll keep his end of the advertising bargain. If not this will have been a waste of time. April 19th, 2018: Nothing happened tonight. Tried to find good pictures but I was simply too tired for that gig. Let's sleep it over and see what tomorrow has in store. Still no answer from Weazel News. Hope Bo's got the pictures ready for Leone...

April 2nd, 2018: Laying low in altitude after "Kentucky" threatened me. I was sure he wouldn't come after me up Mount Chiliad and he certainly didn't. Took about forty minutes climbing up there. The view was certainly nice and relaxing... April 3rd, 2018: Finally managed to talk Fleeca into loaning the money to buy a flat. Got robbed when I returned to the motel to hand over the keys. April 7th, 2018: Got my cab hijacked wednesday, spent thursday thinking about what I would be doing next. Taxi really isn't safe but my new plan is taking shape. This saturday I took an afternoon off by the beach. My honey boyfriend stopped by. A good afternoon! Evening went nice... Nice Mina's Nice Transportation's gone live! Let's get to work and see what we can make of this! April 8th, 2018: Wow! So much happened today... Bo's moved in. Beach party ruined by rain. Shot more pictures for Nice Mina's Nice Transportation (Changed my mind on the work suit since though). First subscribed customer. First fare. Bo bought a bike and took me for a ride. April 9th, 2018: Another long and complicated day in Los Santos. Bo and I talked about last night and how I betrayed my faith and God... We managed to get a short moment of respite and then he had to live. Next I saw him, he'd been injured when some idiot in fancy big car hit my Bo's bike. Drove him home, left him in our bed... Look at me! Our bed! Using sinner's words like it didn't matter... Then I tried to find Jasmine that I'd saw on the car accident spot. We got robbed her buddy tried to play smart and almost got us killed and, as always, cops failed to show up or give a damn about it. "We're no superheroes!" they say! I tell you people, I've been in Mogadiscio and saw people fight over food with their bare hands... I fail to see the difference with what I see in Santos on a daily basis. What's next for me to do, hmm? Get armed? Start playing vigilente and get killed in the process? Kill people myself? Also I may have kicked in my car's door a couple times. Rear car door is dented. Like I can afford to pay for this. And my Uber business is costing me more than it gets me. Maybe I'm just going crazy! I should be leaving, returning to DC and pretend none of this ever happened. Maybe Bo would come with me... April 10th, 2018: Amazingly enough I'm still in Los Santos. I blame Bo for that. Can't leave him alone in here. He comforted me. I made ourselves a nice dinner of Beef Kofte and Shirazi Salad. Bo's planning on a business of his own and wants me in. Simple evening at home. What else could I have asked for? April 11th, 2018: Called my sister Banu earlier, told her about Bo, about my stillborn Uber. Looking over at these previous days... It was all meant to happen and to happen this way. Allah's guided me here and now with Bo. He's the man of my life no matter if he's an infidel and doesn't share my faith. He shares my life and I like that... I sold the Kirin and with it the Uber business. Bought a cheap Rat Bike instead. It's funny and it will free up some cash if I join Bo's Photo Agency. Dunno know what I'll be doing there though. Coffee and sandwiches? Last but not least, I refurbished my wardrobe. I'm quite sure Bo'll like the result. April 12th, 2018: Might sound old-school or sexist but I like that life, taking care of my man, keeping the house in order, hanging around with him. Tonight we went to a carshow, shot some pictures, rode our bikes, shot more pictures and came home. Bo's been editing his and I sorted out the many I made through the evening. Simply nice and nicely simple day. April 13th, 2018: Got my old bike a new paintjob. She looks quite better now. Rest of the day is not suitable to be told or written anywhere... April 14th, 2018: Quite an odd day after what happened last night. Tried to pretend nothing was wrong. Took a shitload of sunset and city pictures. I'm more and more thinking I'll get seriously involved in Bo's photo agency.
