video; un egyptologist - evening of 19 October

[egyptologist]

[ Oh hello, it's your friendly neighborhood egyptologist slash mummy hunter tuning in. Evelyn's hair is windswept and framing her face, cheeks pink from what is prooobably either whiskey or wine. She's tired of visions and migraines and soul crushing loneliness and has thrown herself into re-establishing her shop.

She's sat at one of the little tables in the back by the fireplace, the culprit of her pink cheeked, rosy glow sat on the table next to her. She's got her little device propped up against a book to properly frame her. ]

Hello, fellow residents. I just wanted to let you know that my bookshop, Spellbound Book Co., is open once more. By all means, please come in any time, have a look around.

[ She leans back in her chair, a little roughly, picks up her tumbler - the question is answered, it's whatever passes for whiskey - and smiles. ]

Who else has a business here? Let's all discuss our business endeavors, feel free to chat amongst yourselves.

[ Is she drunk? Maybe a little. ]

Likewise! Do you enjoy German dishes? That's where I grew up.

Oh, well, thank you. You see, I'm not a very strong reader or very strong with math outside of baking. So I have a friend helping me become better in those areas.

I do, actually - quite a bit.

And that's wonderful, really. If you ever need help, do let me know - I've got plenty of books I can supply, if you like. Beginner ones, too.

Oh, I would love the help! I could use all the help I can get! Animals are absolutely incredible but not the best of teachers in reading and writing. They're quite excellent in science and math, though!
