video; backdated to the 25th!

[The video starts, and it's a face that might be familiar to some but not so familiar to others. It's a super ordinary, super smiley face, and Aunt Cass as she is known has attached her phone to a tripod for this recording. It's a good thing; considering how excited she is, looking like she's just barely holding herself back from bouncing in place, the recording would've had enough shaky-cam to give the first Hungry Games movie a run for its money.]

So!

[But her excitement could only be contained for so long. Her hands make a nice, clear sound as she claps them together.]

Hi, guys! My name is Cass, for those of you who don't know me, and for those of you who didn't know about this, I used to run a coffee shop back home. That is, in San Fransokyo, which is kind of like San Francisco but also like Tokyo. Funny how that works, right? Anyway. [She reels herself back in before she goes on too much of a tangent, bringing her small body up to its fullest height and smiling even wider than before, if possible.]

I'm happy to announce today that at the beginning of next month, on October 2nd, my nephews and I will be opening up the second branch of the Lucky Cat Café here in Heropa! We'll be on the corner of [she names a couple streets here] ready to serve you hot coffee, pastries, and Japanese food if that's more to your taste. Come stop by!

And also... [Here, she chills out a little and relaxes, hands clasped in front.] I used to run the place by myself since our house was right above it, but this time, I'm looking to ask you guys for some help. So if you have any experience or interest in working at a coffee shop, let me know.

Thanks so much! I'm sure it'll be great, with a new location and new faces, it'll be different, but no less exciting.

What sort of teas are you interested in? I've got a bunch, but if you want to throw in suggestions I can get ready for you.

[hands4healing]

Ah, I don't know. We only had one kind back home. I've had some different teas here...green and white and black.

[lasthugs]

[She giggles.]

And there are lots of types to each of those as well. Well, you're always welcome to try out any of the teas I've got ready and we'll figure out what types you like from there.

[hands4healing]

Thank you. I'm sure I'll find something I like!

[lasthugs]

There's usually a tea for everyone. What's your name, my dear?

[hands4healing]

Winry Rockbell, ma'am!

[She works with your nephews at StarkTech. Not that she knows they're your nephews.]

[lasthugs]

Winry. That's a nice name -- it's a pleasure to meet you. Have you been here long?

[hands4healing]

Thank you. [A smile.]

Oh...a year and...three months? Sometimes it seems like a really long time.

[Especially now that her boyfriend's gone home.]

What about you?

[lasthugs]

Oh, wow. That is a long time... it's relatively shorter for me. I only got here in June.

[hands4healing]

You get used to it. It's not so bad most of the time. It's not too hard to make friends here.

[And enemies, but Winry's not done that specifically...more likely, she acquired them from being around Ed.]

[lasthugs]

It's just something that happens, isn't it? I've been able to meet good people here, too.

[hands4healing]

It does. And new people come in all the time - new people to meet.
