[When her messages begins, Anna has her best smile in place. In spite of the recent problems Heropa has faced she aims to bring a little bit of cheeriness to the feed.]

Hi everyone, Anna here again. Most of you saw my face a little while ago?

[A small wave.]

Since Valentine's Day is just around the corner, tomorrow even, I thought I'd offer my services to those who have yet to come up with something for their special someone! Services being, um, chocolate. My understanding is most people like chocolate as a traditional sign of affection. And, while I know the stores have it, I've noticed they really mark up their prices this time of year and the day after tomorrow it'll be cheap again?

Anyways! It's just the chocolate I can make, but it is really great, better than average, powers-made chocolate! Anything you or yours might want even. If you bring fillers like fruits and nuts, I can go wild. Any combinations, chocolate cake, truffles, bars, you name it. I've practiced a lot and gotten pretty good, if I do say so myself.

I'm not asking for much in return beyond a little bit of money or maybe some kind of trade? Whatever you think is fair! [That earlier smile broadens.] And hey, even if you don't have a date or a friend, you can always treat yourself!

[Anna ends her self-promotion with a cheesy wink.]

[ Anna you..................................... ]

You...

[ SURE... HAVE TIMING..................... she ends up sighing, honestly too tired to work up any incredulity. ]

... Think you can make anything in the shape of a literal human heart?

[ She asks, while crashing on the cot at Will's bait shop. Even when Heropa... well, no matter what, she had promised to keep on top of the bugs. ]

I think so! Especially if you just want a simple chocolate base. Let me know what you'd like, white chocolate, milk, a mix, what have you, and I'll practice until I get it right.

[ ooc: it's more that you can't post to the network on a private filter that's more than about 8 characters large, so no filters of "this post viewable to everyone except Ronald McDonald" and things of that nature, if i'm properly remembering the faq. ]

Ah... whatever you have most of on hand is fine.

Oh, it's really no trouble! I don't have more of one thing than another 'on hand' since the power merely needs anything edible to get started. And edible has a very broad definition so it means my materials can be practically anything and I'd still get the same end result!

... As long as that "practically anything" isn't alive immediately before you turn it into chocolate, the kind doesn't matter. Maybe dark chocolate?

Well it's a lot easier to use like leaves or the undesirable parts of left over food so that's never really been a problem I've encountered.

Dark chocolate is fine. Any preference in size. Solid or with a filling?

... Solid would be fine. Size? Ah... fist sized?

[ Look all she wants to do is leave Will Graham a chocolate heart in his freezer because it would almost amuse her and probably amuse him. She has not thought this through!!! ]

Consider it done! [A pause.] Oh. Wait. Like super dark? Some people like that whole 75% or more cacao thing and while I can't guarantee a perfect percentage but I can get close!

I... don't have any particular preference. Whatever you manage is fine.

Consider it done! [A big smile before the feed ends.] We'll talk soon.

[Oh. Oh. This is a fabulous idea. She could get some chocolates for Jack for Valentine's Day. But how is she supposed to send messages privately? Getting the phone to work has been interesting enough]

Hello, Anna. I'm very interested but could we meet somewhere?

Surely, I'd be happy to meet you Miss...? [Anna is trying to keep a running list so she doesn't mess any orders up!] If you have anything specific to incorporate, like fruits, nuts, anything like that, bring it along and we can make it on the spot!

Toothiana. I'm the Tooth Fairy but you can call me Tooth.

I'll bring something along. Where should we meet?

What's a tooth fairy? Like do you bring people teeth? Why would anyone want that? [Anna is familiar with the concept of fairies but more of a give thing than a take, conceptually.] Oh, right. Where to meet. There's a park near the Heropa ImPorts houses, we could meet up there if it suits you. By the swings!

Oh, no, no. I come to take children's baby teeth and I leave gifts behind in exchange.

And that sounds like a good place. Can I meet you there tomorrow?

What do you do with the teeth?

[The notion falls somewhere between curious and morbid and Anna has to ask.]

And sure! Any time that suits you.

I keep them safe. Just in case they need it in the future.

[A little vague on the explanation there, Tooth.]

I'll be there by ten!

[Blink. Blink blink.] What would they need them for? [It's hard to tell is she's fascinated or grossed out. Possibly, and probably, a mix of both.]

Right, ten o'clock. That's great!

[A very delighted looking high school girl appears.]

Oh wow! This is so awesome!

I would happily pay you for some home-made chocolates! Can you make them into different shapes? Like hearts or stars, for example?

I can absolutely do shapes and custom stuff! It might take me a couple tries before I get it looking perfect, especially if it's something new, but that's no problem!

[Anna has a broad, bright smile and appears pretty enthusiastic.]

That would be so stellar! If you could do some star shapes that would be the absolute best!

[Anna's enthusiasm only fuels Usagi's brightness.]

I can't believe you have powers that can do that, that's amazing!! I wish I could do that!

Definitely! I can probably do a few kinds too! Big, small, different flavors, you name it.

[A grin.]

Sometimes it's sort of useless but it's a lot of fun too.

That would be perfect! I will totally pay you for this! I'll even try to see if I can get you a coupon from the ice cream shop I work at!

As long as you can have fun with it, it's worth it, right?

That sounds good to me! I hadn't really thought about, like, you know, a standard method of payment? I just thought it would be a nice thing to do! But maybe I should make something out of it as a side business. I do have fun with it.

[A gasp, but then she smiles big]

That's a great idea! If it's something you enjoy doing, why not run your own chocolatier business? Getting paid for something you love to do would be the best job! Also, anything involving chocolate? It's gotta be good!

You know, I'd never thought of that before but you're now the second person to suggest it! It's very fast and easy for me, I don't need a lot of resources and certainly not the high cost chocolate stuff, and it'd be a lot of fun. Maybe I should.

[Anna is very seriously considering this, now you've now flamed the idea into proper existence.]

I guess I just have to get an idea of where to get started!

That sounds like an excellent offer. Where might we place such a request with you?

[ He's not buying them for anyone, but handmade anythings are always superior. ]

You can just send me a personal message if you want. It's nothing fancy and formal. Should you want to meet up ahead of time, we can figure out more specific details.

Thank you, I'll do that.

You make chocolate, like, with your powers? [He's never heard of such a thing.]

I do! I haven't met anyone else who can make chocolate but another friend I made here knows how to do breakfast foods?

Heh. That's pretty cool, actually. I've never heard of a power just for making food before.

Until my friend, I'd thought I was the only one! I guess it isn't particularly common but it is fun.

I bet. And it's probably pretty versatile, huh? Judging by your broadcast.

Yes! As long as it's a chocolate dessert. I can start with anything as a base, so even like the grossest old stale bread? And change it! I can't, say, do raspberries on their own or something but the power does lend for letting me put in some flavor or just a hint of a few fruits? I can do cake, truffles, you name it. If it's more than just a small percentage of nuts or fruits or what have you, I need those on hand to incorporate but other than that, the sky is the limit!

[TL;DR Yep! But all Anna knows is long answer with emphatic gesturing.]

Huh... Using it for this, that's a good idea. I see why you would use it for this kind of thing. You should start a shop or something.

That's what I've been starting to think! I'm going to see if my sister wants to help. Keep an eye out, you might see us around!

You got a name for it in mind?

Something to do with me and my sister. We'll nail a name down in time for the ImPort Convention!

Cool. I'll look for your booth.

Are you going into business for yourself?

[Not that she doesn't approve.]

[Anna blinks as she response. It's pretty clear she hadn't thought about the endeavor seriously beyond the holiday.]

What? Oh no! I mean, I hadn't thought about it that way. I suppose it could be something to consider since it comes so easily with so few resources? I wouldn't know where to start making it a proper business though!

[Kristoff had his ice harvesting, Elsa has the antiques shop. Anna just... eats pot pies for a living. And did little else back before she came to this world.]

[She laughs lightly.] It's your decision, Anna. It's nice, what you're doing now. I hope you help some people get chocolates for their Valentine's.

[Maybe Elsa will get some even though she doesn't have a Valentine. You know, because chocolate.]

[Elsa is going to get a lot from her sister. Some at home, some at work. Cover all the bases and spoil Elsa because the heavens know the Queen won't let her do it normally.]

I might come to you for businessy advice though. If you wouldn't mind? Because I think I might try to do it. The starting a proper business. Not right now, I want to plan it because if I don't. Well. My impulses sometimes blow up in my face? [A bashful laugh.] And I want this to go well.

[She doesn't believe she deserves so much chocolate (although she'll eat it all, especially since it's from Anna).]

Me?

[But it's true that she's been getting more and more responsibility at the antiques shop and has learned a lot about how businesses work in America, and really, how much different can it be from running a country?]

If you really think I'd be any help, I'll do what I can.

[Gonna... casually agree by not disagreeing about the impulses thing.]
