[the video opens on Lexi, sitting on the couch in her very blue living room, with Orville in his usual place on Lexi's shoulder, snuffling into her hair, and the new addition to the household, Nosferatmew perched on the arm of the couch, her batwings folded on her back]

Hey! Um. I know I don't post that much, but I kind of have an announcement?

And that announcement is, I'm opening a used books and comics store called the Satellite of Love Used Books and Comics! It's in Willful Machine in the green craftsman house and that takes me to my second announcement. Or, uh, request? Maybe that's better. [pause] Yeah, that's better.

Hours will be Monday through Friday from nine am to five pm, closed from noon to one for lunch, along with Saturday and Sunday, eleven am to two pm. Obviously, I can't handle all of that by myself. Right? So I'm looking for a couple of employees.

Interviews for anyone who's interested can be done here and you can choose between store products or trade goods for pay.

So...I guess that's it? I hope to see you there? Oh, and the store mascot will be Nosferatmew. My batcat. She's very well trained to not bite unless you give her permission to.

Okay, now that's it.

Oh man, this is awesome! I've been hoping for more stuff like this around here. All the uh, Victorian vibes have been kind of hard to get used to.

( The teenager from 2018 who wears Converse every day of his existence has been having a pretty hard time adjusting to life, here. But something like this...? It feels a lot more like home. This may just become his favourite place, tied with the pizza shop Mike Wheeler's recently set up. )

A batcat? That's too cute... Did you get her here?

Hi, Peter! [she waves at him through the camera] And no kidding! I keep wanting to find who's in charge and them them that the internet is a thing here. Still workable, still useful, so how about the stores stock something which would be out of place at a RenFaire?

[though, she'd miss having access to sarsaparilla soda 24/7. and she knows her comics, at least those published primarily in the 1990s. her unlamented dad left behind a small fortune in them when he came to steal the silverware and fine china]

Yeah, though we've kind of drifted apart? Which is sad, but you know. [she shrugs] Life? [and she's never going to say how used to that happening she is]
