[Video] I'll put a spell on you...

[mincingminuet]

[Today's video with Penelope sitting in the little recording booth she has set up at home, looking bright eyed and bushy tailed as always. ]

Hello everyone.

I've got a something I want to bring up. It's about these nightmares don't seem to be going away. I know I cannot be the only one that's been having trouble sleeping, and I figured they'd faff off after a few days but apparently not and it's cutting into everyone's rest.

Last month, Retrospec gave me a temporary solution for it, and I thought it'd be fair to offer it over the network. It's just a way to get rest, and it won't do anything for the actual nightmares, but that's better than nothing.

Now, some of you are going to think I sound insane, but I'm one of the lucky Retrospec users that's also been given magical powers. I can cast spells. Actual for real magic spells. One of which is a sleep spell that puts you into a restful slumber basically as soon as I'm done casting it. I've been using it on myself and several people close to me that agreed to it for a few weeks now just to test for side effects, and there are none. I think the actual spell wears off after about an hour, but by then you're already asleep and it takes an outside stimulus to wake you up.

I have to be able to see you, and again it won't stop the nightmares. But, if you need help actually getting into Dreamland, please let me know. We can work out a schedule for me to play Sandman for you.

[She pauses, reaching to cut the video feed, and then stops.]

Also, an unrelated question. Are there any chemists or metallurgists on the network? I got something weird and I wanna know what it's made of.

Okay I didn't even think about the tomato thing.
That sounds horrifying.
However if you wanted to leave Tonberry as a pillow, I wouldn't complain.

[mincingminuet]

I've been setting Tons to guard my apartment when I'm staying with Freya.
Yuffie...left. Again.
She dropped off the network and took off. Apparently traveling again. So there's nobody there just in case.

[heiroglyphs]

Wow, I'm sorry.
Do you know if her app was uninstalled, or did she just run off?

[mincingminuet]

It's gone. And it's okay. She's safer without it for now.
But she's still my friend.

Also she's prone to that. running off I mean.

[heiroglyphs]

We're all safer without it tbh.
But hopefully she enjoys wherever she went and comes home soon.

[mincingminuet]

We'll see. Our lease ends at the end of the term.
I have a feeling she's gonna move out. But that's cool. I could use the space. And she could do without the creatures.

[heiroglyphs]

Are you going to move in with Freya then?
Or will you be able to afford living alone?

[mincingminuet]

I'm not going to move in with her after only 6 months.
But yeah, I will be. I make a lot of money from my channel, and I also have a major sponsor, and several scholarships. I'm good.

[heiroglyphs]

Well that's good.
I wont worry about you then.
Just let me know if you need anything.

[me_matey]

nah i getcha. i just cant invite anyone to my place atm.

[cattack]

[There's a long pause, before:]

I think asking me to choose between responsibility and a cat is a harder struggle than the one that landed me in here.

[lostapprentice]

[Partner? Hmm. Ah, well; not his business.]

that's fine. i was going to wait outside the building to let you in, anyway. i'd rather nobody die just for the sake of me getting a few hours of sleep.

[Not to mention he probably wouldn't trust him if he were her. ... even if she can apparently just put him to sleep with magic? The more he thinks about it, the more useful it seems.]

I don't know, you sound pretty busy...
Actually, would it be possible if I watch sometime?
Maybe seeing you cast it will give me an idea how to improve mine.

[mincingminuet]

I don't mind but that's up to whoever else is there.
Unless you have a pet or something.
And no I'm not too busy.
The whole point is to help.

[mincingminuet]

Appreciated. I haven't had that much trouble with fog creatures but, you know. Better safe than sorry.

Promise I'll lock up on my way out.

Also, I may need your help with handy-man stuff in the near future if you're still doing that.

[mincingminuet]

Well nah, I don't need anything.
If you were feeling particularly generous though, I may ask for an extra pair of hands for some outdoor work.

[mincingminuet]

Then I won't ask you to choose.
Fluffers liked you.

Is there anything else you need?

[heiroglyphs]

I'm not very good at manual labor
But what do you need help with?

[lostapprentice]

luckier than me. [He almost got killed a few times. No big deal.] i'll hope it stays that way.

thanks. [The last thing he needs is a break in while he's in a magic sleep.]

i am. we can talk about it when you get here or you can give me a call when you need me.

[belligerentwarrior]

christs sake, if it's that bad you know i don't give a shit if you sleep on our couch.

[darkinferno]

327 no don't worry about it I don't need anything right now

[fiddlestick]

No, just my roommates' cats.
And they probably wouldn't appreciate me volunteering their pets for spells.
I guess just let me know if anyone's fine with it?

[cattack]

Thank you.
I'm glad, I liked him too.
He was quite affectionate.

No, there's no need to trouble yourself.
They take quite good care of us here.

[twelfthspark]

Can't tell you what it's made of but I can tell you if it conducts electricity, lol.

[mincingminuet]

That would be helpful in narrowing it down.

It cannot be gold. I swear to god if someone made a gold knife...
