[Lysithea appears on the screen in front of a doorway painted mint green, looking grim, but resolute. Her arm is in a sling and she has obvious scars and cuts across her face and neck, but at the very least, she is in one piece. She couldn't say the same for some of her friends.]
I am one day late.
I am pleased to announce...
[And here she makes a gesture with her good hand, and it becomes clear that this is a recording through the eyes of her Omen. The bird flaps back a few feet to reveal a recently renovated building that looks, if not grand, at least, well... intact.]
The grand opening of the Patisserie Lysitherie. Located in the Willful Machine, [address here], five minutes' walk from the closest Lamp Friend.
[Lysithea steps inside and her Omen follows to showcase part of the interior.]
...I'm sure I've prattled on about my business long enough, so I won't bore you with more details. Just know that our trade rates are exceedingly reasonable, and we seek to procure only the finest ingredients from the docks. It is winter, of course, so temper your expectations accordingly. Additionally, all purchases will come with a package of Weeping Wafers, our first in-house concoction. The taste is nutty and earthy with hints of nutmeg and almond. It's delicate - and not excessively sweet.
Most importantly, it is made with raw, diced Weepers.
After the... occurrences of the previous month, I imagine we could all benefit from their magic. If you seek mental stability, come by and we're happy to provide you with free samples. Don't take too many, though - I don't know what the effects are if you overdose.
...Well, that's all. Thank you for your business.
[...It is evident that Lysithea has no idea how to end this. After a moment, she looks around awkwardly and then dips her head as if in a bow before the transmission cuts.]
[action, ota, at the Patisserie]
[Lysithea will be manning the sweets shop during business hours. Her employees are welcome to join her when they're free - she could use some extra help, given her dislocated wrist. Drop by to sample normal baked goods, Weeper products, or simply strike up a conversation.
On slow days, Lysithea can be found eating her Weeping Wafers and fingering what appears to be an old research journal of some sort.]

Mission accomplished
She doesn't say a word when Lysithea calls out to her and just turns and gives her a big wave before turning back to the passerby's on the street to dance.
The big old cupcake adds in a few more booty shakes to it dance because that is clearly helping, right?]
no subject
E-Excuse me! Pardon me, you are -- this is a -- private walkway --
[no it isn't
why is this happening to her]
Can you hear me? There is a person inside, yes? This isn't some sort of corruption thing?
no subject
Does that mean it can hear her? That there's a person inside? That it's a corruption thing? Who knows.
But it does give a little hop and throw it's arm in the air for a high five. Then it just stands there like a statue. Ruby has no idea if Lysithea knows what a high five is. But she waits and hopes that she isn't left hanging.]
no subject
[Lysithea continues to splutter vaguely while trying to catch the eye of whoever or whatever is inside this suit - it's a bit tricky to figure out, given that she doesn't see any holes whatsoever, but eventually she settles on talking to the bow tie.
...Then it holds up a hand.]
Erm.
[................It looks like it's about to start waving. Lysithea also slowly raises a hand and begins to wave stiffly.]
no subject
When Lysithea starts to wave she'll just reach out with a gloved hand and tape it against her palm.
This is how you do it. She'll give a thumbs up and then tap the hand again.]
no subject
Ah.
[...what is happening here]
I'm sorry, are you -- ?
[Lysithea takes her other hand and taps it against her own upraised palm. This is clearly what is desired by the dancing cupcake.]
no subject
It's not quite what she was looking for but the cupcake will then raise it's arms and clap it's hands.
Then it gestures for Lysithea to try it herself.]
no subject
...
No, no! Why am I mimicking you? You really need to explain yourself!
[She makes a grab for the obvious fake head. ...Probably obvious and fake. Hopefully not a real head belonging to a real, definitely bizarrely constructed monster.]
