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.

Um, anything, I guess. Something that isn't overpoweringly sweet might be nice, though.

[lasthugs]

There's a wide range for that... but hm. Maybe you'll have some luck with our place, then. I try not to make it too sweet -- Hiro's got enough energy without all that much sugar.

[resipiscent]

Pff. That's cause he's into caffeine as well as sugar, though, isn't it?

[lasthugs]

I maybe should have held back on introducing him to caffeine for a few years, really.

[resipiscent]

Hah, well, it's kind of hard not to get introduced to it when you live in the same house, isn't it?

[lasthugs]

[She laughs.] I suppose that's true, too. At least he doesn't dislike it.

[resipiscent]

Yeah. That'd be harder, I think. Because your house probably smelled like coffee all the time back home, huh?

[lasthugs]

You could say! Not as strongly as the café, but I made coffee enough up in the house, too. Do you like the smell?

[resipiscent]

I do. I can't not like the smell but like the actual stuff, can I?

[lasthugs]

Oh, it's actually very possible. Things don't always smell the same way that they taste. And the opposite's true, too.

[resipiscent]

That's true. I guess I was generalizing a little there.

Anyway, I'll definitely check it out. You're not that far from my place.
