video; after the newbies arrive

[begguiling]

[It's the beginning of the month, and you know what that means, don't you? Don't you by now? Magolor is hoping that force of habit will have everyone coming to expect these in time. Either way, here he is, giving the camera a chipper little wave and salute.]

Hellooooo, fellow citizens of Havenwell old and new! It's Magolor again, your good friend and emissary. ♥ I have some important news this time! . . . But before I get to that, don't forget about this, okay?

[There's a link attached; it's the personals-esque document from last month. Why yes, he is going to shill it out again.]

Completely optional, of course, but think about how happy you'll make me if you fill it out! Who wouldn't want to brighten my day? And that of your fellow citizens and all that.

But anyway, now that we've had our commercial break, I have something else important to share with you all! As you may know, I managed to weasel my way into the Havenwell Archives recently. Completely legally, I promise! But boy are they careful about who gets in . . . so it's only right that I share my findings for the sake of everyone who can't wiggle in so easily, hmm? I didn't have as much time as I'd like, but I did manage to document what I had time for. You can read it for yourself, see?

[And there is indeed a second file attached. Hell yes, it's (mago)lore time! Everyone thank your lovely mods for preparing that for us!]

It's some very interesting stuff, and I'm not just saying that because I had to go far out of my way to get it for us, okay? I mean it! And just for the record, I do accept snacks as thanks, but I also like a friendly hug. Remember, it's good for the planet! ♥

Until next time! Bye byeeee~!

[ There's a quick blur of bright hair as she shakes her head, but it's less of a "no" than it is a change in atmosphere as she gathers energy. ]

I'm just very grateful to our Grand Emissary! You shouldn't undersell yourself when you do good work! Wanting to thank you is completely natural! And actually, your snack is almost ready!

[begguiling]

[Underselling himself isn't a thing he gets accused of often, and he's ready to have a good, not unfriendly laugh over it, but uhhhh rewind, redirect, what was that about a snack? Now his ears both perk up high.]

—Really? You wouldn't just say that!

[daikonrose]

[ There's a thoughtful pause, before she sighs ruefully. ]

I guess it is kinda irresponsible to come right out and say "soon" when I'm not even done with the marmalade.... I should know for sure by tonight though!

[begguiling]

Marmalade . . . you've got me in crazy suspense now! What are you making? Is it really for me?!

[daikonrose]

Of course it's for you! You're the one I promised to make a fruity dessert for, so naturally you'd get first dibs on any acceptable cake I manage to produce.

[begguiling]

You're a saint! A true asset to the community! Though I shouldn't say that before I taste it. But I have the utmost faith and gratitude in you~!

[daikonrose]

[ There's a flurry of head shaking. ]

The asset here is you! I'm just sorry it's taken me so long to produce results!

[begguiling]

Oh, but I'm sure they'll be well worth the wait! Definitely worth the wait . . . ! You're too kind. No one else is going to such lengths to express their gratitude, you know!

[daikonrose]

Well, I did promise it to you, so it's not like I was gonna back out.... Anyway, the real hero is Kaito, for donating the key ingredient! He deserves the most thanks.

[begguiling]

Is that so? I'll make sure to give it to him, then. But not any more than I give to you! My thanks is very valuable, so take it with joy and honor!

. . . Thanks.

[That last bit—he softens and gives her a genuine smile, even though he does also wink, like he do.]

[daikonrose]

Ah--thank you!!

[ For. the thanks. ]

Um, I'll deliver it to your house when it's ready, then? Or whenever is the most convenient for you.
