[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.]

[William, maybe learn to...beat around the bush a little??]
no subject
[...Lysithea was expecting some conversation about the bakery, perhaps.]
Well, it will be. It clearly isn't right now. No need to fret. It's nothing that won't heal with a bit more time and Blood Ministering.
no subject
Okay. Was it -- something that happened because of... [Will waves a vague hand, meant to encompass all the nonsense they encounter on a monthly basis.]
no subject
[That was probably to be expected.]
...It's very minor, all things considered. It could be much more severe. The Blood Ministers believe that it will heal naturally in a few weeks' time.
You needn't worry, Will.
Were you spared from it?
no subject
[He nods, looking a little...perturbed by this, actually.] Nothing happened to me this month. Which is...really weird.
no subject
Weird or not, I'm glad for that. It's not something I would have liked to see you caught up in.
Let's not talk about it further, then - it's all pretty terrible stuff. What have you been doing? Art? Have you found lessons or a mentor?
no subject
Mostly art, yeah. Making the house less...gloomy. Haven't really found anyone else who likes it as much as me, so... [Have a little shrug.] I forgot a lot of stuff when I went home, so I'm trying to...re-learn it, I guess.
no subject
...'Worse' is a difficult term to apply, absent an understanding of what we're judging.
This was worse in terms of sheer gruesomeness, perhaps. But the worst thing about Deerington was simply that we could not build an existence there. I suppose it depends on what you value.
None of the Trenchies are interested in helping you, then? With the art, I mean.
no subject
[Will hesitates, looking sheepish.] I'm...used to Deerington, I guess. How the people there didn't like Sleepers. I haven't really asked anyone.
no subject
There's something to be said about being a part of a community - a city. A different world with people living out their lives. It's not a temporary stopgap.
It's not the ideal city we might have hoped for, but it can be... our city, still.
[Not that she was altogether comfortable here yet.]
Do you want to? Ask somebody, I mean.
no subject
...yeah. [It's very soft, sort of shy.] I'd...really like to. If someone's interested.
no subject
Then let's make it happen.
It will be more fun than anything else that's happened here in the last month. My shop is in the Willful Machine now - I'm sure we can wander about here and in the Cellar Door looking for art and lessons.
Come by the shop sometime.
