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.

Oh, are you kidding? I'm gonna be there all the time! Once we gain momentum, that might get rearranged, but for now you won't be able to get away from me.

So I might think about it once I start thinking about taking some time off, but for now, it's a mild curiosity?

[cephalothorax]

Understandable! Actually, I guess fulfilling one's dreams and ambitions can be more rewarding than just flitting off on vacation, anyway.

Not that there's anything wrong with flitting, of course. It's just a question of timing!

[lasthugs]

Of course.

There's usually time to do both, when you want to! Life has room for more than just one thing, I think.

[cephalothorax]

Unless you're really dedicated, I guess! For example, people who work 70 or 80 hours a week....

[lasthugs]

Well, I can only hope those people really enjoy their jobs. Or are getting compensation for the time they need. How about you? Do you have time for yourself?

[cephalothorax]

Oh, yes definitely. Modeling is a little unsteady in terms of timing - sometimes I'm really busy and sometimes... not much going on at all.

So it varies, but I wouldn't say I'm a workaholic.

[lasthugs]

Are you sure? Someone who can put up with an unpredictable schedule and prioritize that over everything else sounds pretty workaholic to me.

[cephalothorax]

Hmm, I guess that might be true, depending on how you look at things. But I have to admit books are my first love. So work has to wrap itself around my reading schedule.
