[Here is Billy Kaplan. Here is Billy Kaplan in what looks like a small bookstore, which he pans. Quickly there is Richard Campbell Gansey the Third, thumbing through a book and looking very dapper, but the camera pans away from him after a moment. Basically, here is Billy Kaplan again.]

In a move that I hope does not go down in "poorly and hastily planned decisions" I'm opening a shop in De Chima. It's um, Enchantments, Rare Books, and Tea Room-

[No tea is actually being served. They don't have a license for tea. Or food of any kind.]

-and it's a magic shop of the consulting and advising kind, not the selling magical items kind. Though the books, we'll sell those. Well. I'll sell those. I don't actually have a staff.

But the point is, drop in, come by, take a look.

[ A cheerful alligator chimes in unhelpfully: ]

Be warned, though, everyone. There's an infestation of rare and dangerous beasts there.

[ Gansey glances up at his name, just in time to see the video fly past him. He's got a rare manuscript in hand, and he's looking through it with the delicacy of a scholar. He waits until Billy is done before he talks, and then leans back. ]

Tea room? I didn't ask them about serving tea. Are we talking about tea leaf readings, or...?

[ He's quite serious. He's also already thinking of what they'd need to arrange it. ]

Yeah. It's a terrifying one, though. Its name is Billy Kaplan's Hipster Hair.

Was that an English joke?

I may know of one.

[ Said with a little smile, because Blue's gotten very effective at that, actually. Maybe he could ask her. He doesn't know how well she and Billy are acquainted, though. ]

Anyway, it's a good sell. It should get people's interest. I expect Dorian Gray will show his face before the day is out.

[ A flash of magic, and she turns into a sparrow. ]

Better? No teeth.

[ 'I expect Dorian Gray will show his face' well Dick Gansey you are 100% correct because Dorian just looks so interested. ]

Text me the address, will you? I might have a use for all three of your offerings.

Oh, how splendid! There's such a dreadful shortage of magic shops in this realm! I just know you'll do very well.

Now, are the books also magic-themed?

Have you thought about hosting a proper "Grand Opening"?

... tea?

[ She can drink tea in the presence of books? Most places that sell books kick her out if they catch her with even a cookie in her hand! ]

If I haven't thoroughly turned you off from the idea last time we spoke about it, I'm more serious than ever about hiring you to ward our house.
