Okay.
First things first. Because first things should come first unless...
...I have no idea where I was going with that.
Anyway.
Summers and Elric Muffin Alchemy Incorporated is proud to announce its official opening. We've been kind of open for a while, but we like to think of this as Opening: The Sequel, or---
Um, Dawn, the sign says...
---dangit. Yeah, yeah. Elric and Summers. It's alphabetical.
We've been working really hard on this, and there were a few false starts, but we're now officially open!
Yes! Construction is done! Floors are floory, windows are shiny, and we even have a music box that plays things right out of your head. What that means for you is a total eat-in experience. Which brings me to this next par---
And if anyone knows how to bake... e-especially muffins, we could definitely use a hand. We'll pay you!
We will! Thanks, Al. If you're not evil, we'll hire you! Also if you're a rat. I know you guys like the muffins ...mostly. And I'm pretty sure you don't have Forges, but if any of you guys are still around and want jobs I'm completely open to---
The rats? But they... throw things at me...
But they stopped shooting!
And try to bite.
It's not like you can f...
Attention rats with or near Forges! No biting! Us. If you work here. No throwing things at Al! If you want to throw muffins, or whatever, I can show you some way more entertaining ways in which to do this. But, um.
There are signs up in the city---Kunsel? Would you mind getting some more signs up in places that you think the Natives and the ...rats might see?
We have all kinds of muffins. Apple muffins, and blueberry muffins. Cinnamon raisin. Chocolate chip. And some... more unusual ones. Menus are a work in progress
---but we're open to all kinds of requests. No muffin is insurmountable. Give us a list, we'll make you a delicious muffin-shaped ...muffin.
So.
Patrol members get a free muffin, as always, just before your shift, only you can eat them inside now, with music, or friends. And speaking of friends, there's a little corner in the back with...
...there's a footwarmer there. It's called a kotatsu. And it's only for bffs and bros, so if you're a jerk you can't sit there. For real. It's like, the BFF Footwarmy corner, only it'll have a better name. A serious name when I can think of one. Or when Byakuya can help me think of one.
Speaking of Byakuya, I'd like to announce that we have several new sugar free options, and the chocolate ones are just a few steps from being perfected! So we could also use some taste-testers.
And speaking of Byakuya again, all Police people get free muffins before shifts, too. If they have shifts? A free one in the morning. Like a donut! The blonde Xena brigade gets free muffins forever, because you guys hardly ever eat! Natives get a twenty five percent discount, and there will be coupons around Anatole for that, which ...Kunsel? Would you kind helping with that, too?
Oh! Al and I are relocating our home base - Miss Kitty, too - to above the shop. Outlander Block, you were a good place to live, but we're going to have to break up---
Wait! We're moving in here? I d...
--did you see upstairs? You should see upstairs! It's not ubersecret muffinsperimentation storage like I told you. It's a bedroom. Your own space, with a whole wall for books and a place to read so you don't have to worry about waking me up, because you don't sleep. Not that I really mind when you wake me up, I just thought it'd be better. A-and feel more like a home.
You know, like family?
