[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.

It is constantly in that state. He's great at the little passive-aggressive put downs, too. So, she needs a new boyfriend badly. [unfortunately, Nate was tall and handsome and a football star. very popular, too, for being such a douchebag]

Oh! Sorry, I didn't think about the whole different times thing. And I don't know. Maybe because they figure that everything revolves around America? Which is beyond dumb, but I'm no teacher.

Thank you, I appreciate that!

And yet she stays...? I hope that she will come to find what she deserves. With herself or with another person. [He would always hope for better for people, even those he doesn't know.]

It's all right. I hadn't known any of this, different worlds or times, was possible. Where I'm from, it's England that is the center of the world.

Of course.

Yeah. At least for now. And I hope that for her as well. Maddy's kind of...an acquired taste, but I know that someone out there could treat her better. [Lexi was much the same, especially with Maddy given everything she'd seen]

They went through a long time of being the center in my world, too, but I think that ended somewhere in the 1910s?
