He knows he’s reached his limit, clearly, if something was bad enough for him to be staring back at himself in a public bathroom mirror as he tries out the breathing exercises his therapist told him to do in times of high stress.
The sound of the door opening startles him out of his panicked trance. “Don’t mind me. I’m just having a meltdown!” he shouts without much anger behind the words. If there is any, it’s aimed at himself. “Just another Wednesday, am I right!”
“This is the men’s room, by the way. Not that I’m trying to tell you where to pee... just thought you should know.”

“Have we met before?” Sonny was sorry for interrupting, well, whatever it is that she was doing. Really, it looked like she was doing the same as him by tucking herself into the shadows of the soiree, but looks could be deceiving. Nevertheless, he’d been trying to place her all night with no luck.
“You’re, like, ridiculously familiar. Are you on insta?”

The group of Team Canada advisers, which had gathered on the curb outside of a Genovian pub after their debrief, made their way back inside for another round. Only Sonny was left behind, finishing what was left of his cigarette beneath the glow of a streetlamp. Smoke swirled around his head like fog, and from within it his eyes followed a figure lurking the streets that looked as sorrowful as one could be.
"Christ,” he spoke in a breath of smoke. “You look like someone who's seen better days.”

“Repeat after me,” Sonny said to Bas, though the majority of attention was on the screen of his phone where his thumbs tapped up a storm. “I. Will not. Speak. About. Team Australia.”
“With the games coming up we can’t afford the months needed for damage control, like after what happened last time.”

“What is curling, anyways? A couple of brooms and plates on the ice?” He’s well aware of the kid sat across from him. Team Australia. After the fiasco involving Scarlett happened, it became part of his job to know who the enemy was. Regardless of if this kid had anything to do with that, he didn’t like him. Didn’t want to.
“Don’t get me wrong, that’s great, but who thought that was worthy of the Olympics?”
“How do I have something deleted from TikTok?” On the screen of his phone is a smaller version of himself screaming into an even smaller phone while a song he was too old to know played over it. Kitten ears and some whiskers finished off the 10 second clip. “Jack’s done it again.”
The phone between his hands is at high risk for being thrown off the side of the mountain via the ski lodge’s balcony. By some good act of an unknown god, Sonny refrains as he hangs up on the dropped call. It was difficult enough just getting cell service in Genovia, he didn’t want to have to get an entirely new phone, too.
“You’d think with all these royals throwing money around this place they’d have put up a few cell towers, at least,” he misdirected his anger towards the other, breath turning to angry clouds in the cold air. “Fucks sake.”
Which member of Team Canada makes your job the most difficult?
Just dealing with the whole lot of ‘em is like herding cats. The gals are sweet enough but I’m expecting a nightmare scenario to happen any day now. Bad enough that one’s literal royalty and the other is a ticking heart bomb. Jack’s been knocked around so much that most of his brain cells have fallen out of his ears, and Bas— Christ almighty.
*hi. it’s me, possum, again, again. even though i said i wouldn’t……again, again. don’t @ me (again (again))
⋆ ° ⟡ ( RAHUL KOHLI, thirty-four, cis male, he/him ) i saw SONNY KASH at the winter palace. did you know that the PR REP FOR TEAM CANADA is originally from ENGLAND? i heard they can be quite ABRASIVE, but also WELL INTENTIONED. there’s rumours they’re at the winter palace because SOMEONE’S GOTTA WRANGLE THE TEAM CANADA KIDS AND KEEP THEIR IMAGES CLEAN, but you never know. A WHISTLING KETTLE, A FUNKY BASSLINE, AND HANGOVERS always remind me of them.
i’m gonna make this real short
born sonam kashyap and stayed that way until he shortened his name/went by his nickname when he started his career.
always been a fan of music and the . music industry, his hopes were to own his own label one day.
worked for sony music’s london division for a number of years, starting out as a gopher for the recording studios and working up the ranks.
the highest he got was being an A&R rep
an affair with his boss got him into some hot water and cost him his job, he was sent to america to assist different music acts
word traveled fast about what he’d done at the london division and it made him feel super claustrophobic, and it was clear that his options were being limited more and more by the day
took up a job at a management company in toronto for a different company, part of his job was being brought in by team canada’s representation to brainstorm ways to improve the team’s image
sonny was the one who came up with changing scarlett dupre’s personal brand to the “Miracle on Ice”
it was that idea that got him the job as team canada’s pr rep
now he’s in genovia trying to wrangle these little monsters with the hopes that they won’t completely destroy all the work he’s done to make them more appealing to the general public!!!!!!!!!
buuuuuuut yeah
personality: literally always stressed. always on the verge of yelling. TOO MUCH IS ON HIS SHOULDERS!!!! but he can’t do anything about it cause he needs this job.
