[Private to Shinjiro]

[Orihime's excited face virtually explodes cheer and enthusiasm all over Shinjiro's phone. Gross.]

It's here! The bakery is really here! It's on Nettle and 8th! I didn't want to go look at it without you there, so we can both see it for the first time at the same time. When do you get off of work? I can't wait to see it!

Shinjiro-san and I are happy to announce that Cake Town will have a grand opening this Sunday starting at 9 a.m. There are going to be free samples, coupons, and a chance for a spin on the prize wheel with any purchase!

[She pulls her hands into fists, eyes alight with passion.]

It's going to be amazing. Please come check it out! And if you can't make it for the grand opening, that's okay! We'll be open for quite a while, after all.

I wanted to thank all of you for helping to support our bakery, and storing my ingredients when they were in danger of getting wet and ruined. The bakery will be open an hour earlier just for you guys, and you'll get a VIP pass. Free bakery items for the whole day for you and a guest! We'll give you a guided tour of the facilities too, so I'll be looking forward to seeing you there.

Thank you so much for your help!

[ No, it’s kind of adorable. Eyebrows raised. ]

Good, you’ll have a place t’stay again.

... I can quit the grocer job for now, considerin, till you don’t need my help anymore.

That’ll mean I can head right over. I just have the community service thing later.

[ Private ]

[leekspins]

That's great! ...Unless you changed your mind and really like being a grocer. If so you can just pitch in part-time when you're able! But it pays three times as much, so really, it's a good deal!

Anou...community service?

[ Private ]

[mortal_son]

Yeah, pretty sure I ain't goin back to that job until I got nothin else.

[ It's good to know it's there, at least, right?

He frowns. ]

... The whole thing with the subarchway had consequences. I'm gonna be helpin out the Attleton Guardian Office for a while.

video; private, THAT ICON WITH THE BREAD IS THE CUTEST THING

[initia_nova]

Congrats on the new bakery, Orihime! You got it all ready so quickly, it's amazing. And thank you for the VIP pass, I'll be there of course.

video; private RIGHT? It was an in-between chapter sketch by the author!

[leekspins]

Good! I was hoping you could make it.

And I can't take all the credit! It's something Shinjiro-san and I have been working on together for a couple of weeks now, he gave me all kinds of good ideas!

video; private | Yes! I wanna pinch her cheeks >w<

[initia_nova]

I wouldn't miss it for the world. I had no idea Shinjiro was helping, I'll have to scold him for not telling me.

[He's clearly only teasing. He knows this was a secret.]

[private video]

[xlvii]

Thank you, Orihime. That's very generous of you.

[private video]

[leekspins]

It's the least I can do for such a good neighbor. Thank you for taking care of me and my supplies, Ford-san!

[private video]

[xlvii]

I didn't mind helping.

I guess I should find someone to serve as my guest.

[ Private ]

[poshture]

I would be happy to attend - I should arrive at eight then, correct? For the tour, that is.

[ Private ]

[leekspins]

Any time before 9 is just fine by me! You don't have to worry about being punctual, it's pretty informal.

[She's just glad it fits into his schedule, since she knows he's busy.]

Is there anything else you'd like to eat besides crepes?

[Video]

[fairysoul]

[You had her at free samples, Orihime.]

You can count on me!

[She hopes Fai won't mind she's going to another pastry shop. Especially since she might drag Zeref or Erza or other members of Fairy Tail there with her as well. But... Fai is way too nice to hold it against them.]

[Video]

[leekspins]

Yay! Wait until you see it, it's really cool. I asked for some special murals and they even included them in high detail!

[She's so excited you don't even know.]

[Video]

[fairysoul]

That sounds wonderful. I can't wait to see them!

[She has every reason to be excited.]

[hopeschild]

I'll admit, I would actually like to take a look around the place, see what you did with it.

video; private

[leekspins]

Me too!

Er...well, I mean, I was just on my way to check it out, so I can't say for sure what it will look like until Shinjiro-san and I have been inside. But we asked for a lot of fun things, so I think you'll like it!

video; private

[hopeschild]

A lot of fun things, huh? Like what?

[Video]

[redhairedknight]

[Cake Town? Free samples? Erza's definitely excited by this announcement, and it shows.]

I'll be there! [...She's probably a bit louder than she needs to be, but cake is serious business!]

[Video]

[leekspins]

Ah ha ha, that's awesome! We'll be ready to fulfill all your dessert dreams!

[If complete strangers are interested, then she takes that as a good sign that they won't just get the sympathy visit from supportive friends.]

[Video]

[redhairedknight]

I'm looking forward to it! My guildmates and I will definitely be stopping by regularly. [Sure, they get a lot of desserts from Fai's cafes, but variety is the spice of life!]

[clevermind]

Thank you Orihime. I look forward to seeing it.

I'm glad that you two were able to get everything together.

Private

[leekspins]

Me too! I have to get started on my test recipes right away now that I have access to a full kitchen. You won't be disappointed!

Private

[clevermind]

I'm glad to hear it. If you ever need a taste tested I'd be happy to volunteer. Have you been able to find a place to live?

[captain_by_the_book]

[ Cassian's on vacation right now, but he does respond via video, looking very relaxed by his standards. ]

I won't be able to make it to the opening, but I wish you and Shinjiro good luck with your new bakery.

[leekspins]

Thank you very much! You can always come by some other time that's better for your schedule. I think there's going to be a thunderstorm that day anyway, so...it's probably best.

[She got the newspaper with the weather update after announcing the grand opening. What can she do?]
