Good evening, all. I think this is what is termed a 'bandwagon.' However, as I imagine we will all be busy dead, dying, or in the process of resurrecting soon, I thought I had better commit before October.
I'm opening a bakery and sweets shop.
[Lysithea pans the camera to a table that is covered with pans filled with dozens of buns, cakes, and confections of different colors. It really looks extremely well done. One would imagine that Lysithea applies herself with the same intensity to any task she undertakes.]
Everything will be sourced from traditional Fódlan desserts, passed down through family histories and collected by hand in this book. I've realized that if I'm not the one who makes these treats, I'm... never going to taste them again. So I thought I should share.
[The view changes to an enormous tome currently open to a page titled Saghert and Cream in script prominently displaying a luscious picture of some kind of fruit and cream concoction. It really looks like this was drawn by hand.]
I'm baking from my room for now. If you want anything here, you can drop by or I'll bring it over. If you want delivery, you've got to get at least a dozen, because frankly, I'm not running all over town to give you one sweet bun. I'll open a proper location when it's not Death Month.
...Thanks.
[She signs off after a moment's awkward hesitation, as if she's not sure what to do next.]
[video pt 2, ten minutes later]
It's -- me again. Upon further reflection, I have no idea how to run a business, at all, apart from the portion where you confidently declare it in public.
I would... appreciate advice.
And help. If you are willing to be paid in cake.

[The question is so unexpected that Lysithea is caught off-guard.]
Wha -- perform? You mean... sing or something? No, not in the slightest! I mean, there was mandatory choir practice at Garreg Mach, but I was hardly what you might call gifted. Usually I just practiced alone in my room if necessary.
[She doubts the Raccoon Room is in need of church hymns, anyway.]
I'll stick to providing baked goods.
no subject
If you want to, there are always open mic nights!
But, you're right. Your baking will be the best gift for the theater. Really, thank you, Lysithea. I can't wait.
no subject
...To be fair, you haven't eaten any of my baked goods yet, so you might come to regret it. But I can promise I'll put my full efforts into it.
[And for Lysithea, it feels vaguely as if she can manage to be at least competent at just about any activity she tries her hand at. ...Or at least, adequate.]
I'm going to go package some goods for the people who have called in requests now, but -- stay safe, Wu.
