[ The recent influx of new arrivals haven't flown over Ayame's head. She pays a good amount of attention to the network, despite her obscurity in there. She often just doesn't feel the need to reply most of the time. That, and coupled by her aversion to extensive socializing. But today is a little different. Feeling herself hollow with her recent depressing woes, and stories from a couple of her friends who both miss someone who vanished from Genessia, had inspired Ayame to make the best of her time here and meet as much people as she can. Who knows, it might be good for her business too.

Ayame makes a video while wearing traditional Japanese clothes while she sits in Atelier Sakura, her kimono shop in Fayren. She had some help from some liquid courage in the form of whisky on the rocks, swirling inside a glass with gold trims. Ayame takes a little whiff of her whisky before her eyes flick toward the camera ]

Good afternoon, Genessia. We have quite a lot of new members and returnees. Many interesting faces, and I simply would like to extend my greetings to all of you now. I myself awoke in Genessia around this time of year, last October. Well, here's to us becoming friends in this strange new world.

[ She gives a smallest bow along with a raise of her glass ]

Welcome. My name is Ayame Sasaki, I run tailoring businesses in this world. Hopefully your queries have been met and you're on the way to adjusting, or re-adjusting, to this place by now. Should any of you be in need of assistance, custom attire, or employment, I can provide those for you to the best of my ability. My clothing stores could use some helping hands. No prior experience is required.

[ Ayame gives a small smirk along with her words. Then, her attention darts to the side where the sounds of small footsteps on wooden floors are coming from, revealing itself to be a massive wolfdog that nuzzles on Ayame's shoulder. She gives the dog a rub under the chin, to which the dog gives a pleased whimper ]

Ah, Himiko...

[ Ayame follows with some Japanese words directed toward her pet, moving her glass away from Himiko's probing nose which was sniffing the whisky's aroma out of sheer curiosity. Looking back at the camera, Ayame intends to at least end the video with a proper close. ]

In any case, I'm very much looking forward to meeting all of you in the near future. But if you'd excuse me, I have to take the dog out for a walk. Should you be around Fayren or Genessia, or browsing around the network, don't hesitate to say hello or tell me about your experiences with this world so far.

Until then.

[ Right after that public video, Ayame is out on a stroll with Himiko tied to an energy leash created by Ayame's own power. Under the autumn scenery of trees and crunchy leaves on the sidewalks, Ayame just follows along, even bringing the glass of whisky along with her. Himiko just so happen to be the opposite of her master; and is very friendly, hyperactive, and easily distracted. While on their walk, Himiko would bark at small rodents, or approach people just to sniff at their legs. Come say hi! Just don't hurt the dog... ]
