[ Hello, gang! Have an image of Wasabi, sitting as primly as a large fellow can manage at his kitchen table. Beside him, there's a small organizational tote. He smiles and offers the camera a quick wave. ]

Yo. It's Wasabi, here to present an opportunity for us imPorts to give back to the community around us.

As I'm sure you're all aware, winter is coming up, and, while the weather stays pretty mild here in Florida, it gets pretty cold in other places. While this is par the course for most people, there are people whose circumstances make winter a big problem. Those without homes, those without steady incomes or reliable means... You get the idea.

Now, I-- [ Hang on. He reaches into the bag to pull out a nearly-finished, knitted hat, made with thick yarn and with quite a few needle point sticking out haphazardly. ] I knit, see? And, back home, I always try to crank out as many extra pieces of winter wear as I can. There's numerous charities that organize and collect donations like this, and this world is not exception to this practice. I've looked into it.

So what I basically want to do is to rally as much imPort participation as possible. Then we can work up whatever we can and make sure they get to where they need to be. Simple enough, right? So... What do you say? Would anybody be interested in doing that kind of thing?

Oh! And don't worry if you can't knit. I'm definitely willing to teach, if it'll help. I can do crochet, too, if you'd rather learn and work with that.

The Lucky Cat Cafe? That sounds cute. I'd like that.

It is pretty cute. My friends' aunt runs it. If you haven't been, I hope that this will prove a worthy discovery.

I'm sure it will be. Does she actually have a cat?

She does! Mochi.

He's very fat.

[Sold.]

I'm so there.

I'm not sure he visits the cafe, but yeah. If you get in with Cass good enough, maybe she'll let you be a backup babysitter or something.

Think maybe I can get a good photo in?

It's possible, though I cannot personally confirm or deny the chances. I'll talk to the Hamadas and see what can be done.

[That sound? Is the sound of Max squeeing over the possibility of meeting a kitty.]

Cat person, I take it?

Animal person in general.

That's fair.

There always seems to be an excess of animals available to loving homes, if you have the time and finances to spare. Just don't go overboard.

Sadly, I can't afford one just yet.

But once I can, I fully intend on getting one! It'd be nice to have some company.

Yeah. I lucked out, but a lot of people seem to get brought here without anybody else that they know.

If that's the case, then I'm sorry to hear it, and I'm glad you're waiting on getting a pet until you know you're in a good place to be responsible for it.

I don't really have anybody here. I'm glad to hear you're not alone in this place.

I'm fine, so far. I'll manage. Besides, maybe I can get something small when the time comes, like a hamster.

There's good thinking.

Keeping animals isn't usually my thing, but I get it. I hope the hamster works out well for you.

Pets aren't really for everyone. But they're so cute!

So long as they avoid licking me. Or getting hair everywhere. Or soiling something.

... They're cute in passing, basically. And in pictures.

Not a fan of mess, I take it?

Got it in one.

I'm... kind of a stickler for cleanliness.

[ Understatement of the year. ]

That makes sense.

[Which reminds her; she really needs to clean up more.]

Someone's gotta pick up after everybody else, right?

You shouldn't have to feel like you need to clean up after others, though.

[ Eh. Shrug. ]

It's that or force people to conform to my levels of cleanliness. I just stick to the path of least resistance in this case.

You sound pretty easygoing about it, at least.
