[ The video opens with a luminous smile that belongs to none other than Marie Antoinette! Today she's got some things to say, properly seated on the pristine couch of her apartment as her hands are laced together on her lap. ]

Bonjour, Lunatia! For those not knowing me, my name is Marie! I hope the new arrivals have gotten accustomed to the place nicely. It had been quite a few months since I last posted something here, and a lot has changed since then, so I am seeking to catch up with those friends and acquaintances I have not spoken with in a long time. I am also here to issue a reminder and talk about a topic that has been on my mind for a few weeks.

First of all, Salon De Marie is still accepting applications! There are several spots to be taken, and a lot of fun to be had if you are the sort of person who likes helping people improve their day!

And finally, I am curious over how many people have purched a housing place in Amegahara so far! I am seriously thinking of buying a house there myself, for whenever I feel like enjoying a peaceful and quiet time off my job. The fact I might get neighbours makes me quite excited! We have come a long way since we all arrived here over a year ago, c'est ne pas?

[ She clasps her hands, clearly excited. ]

That was everything, I believe! Have a wonderful day, and Vive La France!

[Sycamore usually has the network running in the background while he potters around his apartment, doing one chore or another; he's a social creature and it's an easy way to feel connected to the other moonblessed in the city. He doesn't tend to watch too many of the posts, but the French (he'd call it 'Kalosian', but he's learned the hard way it's just easier to refer to the language as French...) gets his attention from the start - always nice to meet fellow French-speakers!

So as soon as Marie is finished speaking, he seats himself at his dining table and hits reply.]

Salut! I quite enjoyed your message, ma chère.

[He's framed quite neatly, as if he's well-practised with speaking into a camera.]

Is Salon De Marie your business, then?

[ringlette]

[ Another French person? In this multicultural hodgepodge? Color her surprised, and positively so. ]

Merci beaucoup, monsieur! [ She beams at the man. ] That is my business, indeed! I opened it several months ago and it is still carrying on beautifully!

[sycamour]

[The more random French (or close enough!) people, the better!]

C'est incroyable! I must say, it's so nice to speak with someone new who knows my native tongue. Your business is in PrismaPlace, no? I remember the name standing out, for obvious reasons!

[He's never patronised it himself, but it's hard not to pay attention to such a delightfully French name!]

Hello, lady. My name is Ren. I have a question for you about Salon De Marie.

[He smiles, polite and charming.] Would you accept a part timer? My passion goes into music industry, but I would definitely be interested in helping.

[ringlette]

[ She smiles happily in return. Hm! Cute guy! Face of an idol. Definitely good to attract people in her cafe. ]

Bonjour, Ren! Yes, we also accept part timers. I can accommodate the schedule for anyone who have more than one job or are busy with other projects.

[saxsongs]

[His smile is definitely brighter at the information.]

That's great. Then I will definitely fill in an application.

what's the point of the costumes/

[ringlette]

Those are part of my cafe's gimmick! They are necessary to drive the point it is a maid cafe.

[Well. This will get a response promptly enough; he's mirroring her stance somewhat, settled at a table with his hands folded on the table in front of him, and he doesn't seem unaccustomed to the idea of presentation counting for a lot - he seems rather even, all things considered. Open, to an extent.]

Quite the charming announcement. I can't say I wouldn't consider a residence in Amegahara myself someday, though for now I admit I'm partial to the city here.

My name is Lysandre. Ravi de vous rencontrer, ma chère.

[ringlette]

[ And that makes two people who know French today. It's a Christmas miracle! ]

Enchanté, monsieur Lysandre! Quite a charming response you have made, yourself. I also understand the need to wait before moving out, considering the high Chroma costs.

[holocast]

An unfortunate but necessary evil, I suppose. Perhaps I'll consider once I've made my mark on this world; I did have a lovely time out there last month.

[Dimension X aside.]

From the sound of it, you've been here for a while...?

[vizard_did_it]

Alright, I'll bite. I get that you're basically offering people jobs, but what is this place, exactly?

[ringlette]

It is a maid cafe! I offer jobs to not only people who want to be maids or butlers, but also security guards, bussers, and other roles.

[vizard_did_it]

They have places like that here, too?

You don't make the guards dress up too, do you?

[ Catarina is d e l i g h t e d ! She claps her hands together and addresses the camera. ]

I love it! What a wonderful idea! Vive La France!

[ wait, what does that mean? ]

[ringlette]

Vive La France! Thank you for your positive feedback, mademoiselle!

[ The girl looks very aristocratic and Marie assumes 100% her catchphrase has been comprehended. ]

I have a home in Amegahara.

[ringlette]

[ Oh, hey. ]

Fantastic! So far I only talked with people who have been considering the option.

[purifyings]

[There were a lot of words Nike did not understand very well. But it didn't matter to her because the woman on the other line was very cute! Her hair color was very unique! Nike can't help feel intrigued by it; however, there were topics Marie mentions which have her feeling even more curious over.]

It's nice to meet you, Marie. My name is Nike. I arrived a few months ago. I'm...getting there, I suppose. There is still a lot I'm still lost on.

But, I'm curious: have you really been here for a year? How different is this world compare to when you arrive? I'd like to learn more if you don't mind my asking.

[ringlette]

Hello, mademoiselle Nike! It is a pleasure to speak to you, as well.

I have been here for over a year indeed, and as far as I recall, the only basic difference between then and now is the new access to Amegahara, which was not possible prior to a couple months ago. [ She smiles amiably at the girl. ] Aside from a few dramatic events that upset the balance in this world, there have not been a lot of radical changes. Raising my business was pretty much the most important personal achievement I ever reached here.

it's always nice to see your face
you know
i've been thinking of getting something part time!

what sort of stuff do you do when you work there?
i like interacting with people

[ringlette]

Hello, JJ! I am pleased to talk to you again! And it is nice to know you are considering working for me!

There are various positions you may take as an employee! Not only a maid or butler, but also a cashier, barista, cook, busser, and security! If there is one position you think you can work with, then you may take that one!

[Oho. So she's been thinking of buying a house in Amegahara, has she?]

Buying a house in Amegahara sounds like a good idea. I know you enjoy your job, but even you deserve some time for yourself. [And maybe time with just him.]

[ringlette]

Do you want to know a secret, Charles?

[ She leans a bit into the camera, like Sanson's physically in front of her instead of a distance away. ]

I am especially buying it so the two of us can have a peaceful time without having to abide by our duties.
