[This is clearly an advertisement video, because all of the footage has been recorded, edited, and there's cheesy music playing in the background that may or may not be Minako humming, or someone else with musical talent she roped into making a song. The feed opens on Minako with a big curly black wig a dismal young lady sighing on a bench. Minako's voice plays over the footage.]

Are you feeling lonely? Dateless? Maybe you just don't have a clue about what it takes to experience the springtime of romance!

[Minako The girl on the bench holds out her arms, talking dramatically to the sky.]

If ONLY there were a way to meet people in this city!

'WELL NOW THERE IS!'

[The girl on the bench suddenly gasps with joy, sitting up and looking straight at the camera.]

Nooooo waaaaayyyyyyy!

[YES WAY TED! The doors to Minako's brand new (sort of) matchmaking office are opened by Minako herself, wearing a professional and crisp suit with a stylish yellow scarf knotted around her neck. The camera pulls back, revealing the sign over the shop: 'APHRODITE'S LOVE MATCHMAKING']

[Assuming you haven't immediately turned off your communicator, Minako strides forward and strikes a pose, one hand on her hip, and winks.]

I'm Minako Aino, your goddess of love and romance. And I'm here to help you! Here at Aphrodite's Love Matchmaking, I'll conduct one-on-one interviews...

[It shows Minako with a pad of paper, writing notes as she nods and talks to someone off-screen.]

Create detailed questionnaires designed to measure your preferences, hobbies, and interests...

[Not-Minako is writing dutifully, pausing to tap the pencil eraser to her lips, then checking more boxes with cheerful enthusiasm.]

And find you the perfect match!

[The wigged-Minako looks up at the camera, holding out her arms to show off her frumpy self.]

But I don't know the first thing about dating, or how to talk to someone I like. What do I do?

[Now Minako is in an office chair, spinning around to face the camera.]

Leave it to fashion expert Mina-chan! I'll take you on a day-long tour to find you clothes that suit your uniqueness and tastes, teach you to style your hair, and coach you on what to say and not say when you're with that special someone.

[The image of the girl with the wig flickers rapidly until WHOOOOAAAAA IT TOTALLY TURNS INTO MINAKO THAT IS SO MAGICAL YOU GUYS! She winks, tapping her two fingers to her lips to blow a kiss.]

Call me now to make an appointment! Come find your happiness today!

[The final shot is the business sign once again, and flashing text that says 'CALL NOW! CALL NOW! CALL NOW!']

[Well...she's a hard worker in any case. She may or may not also be sitting at her desk right now, staring eagerly at her communicator as she waits for her first appointment. Do it. You know you've got a morbid curiosity you want to!]

[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!

[Sup, have a rainbow colored hair person. She may have ran into the barrier already.]

Is there really no way back home? I've got awesome friends waiting for me.

[which does lead her into naming them off] Applejack, Fluttershy, Twilight, Pinkie Pie, Sunset Shimmer, Rarity... anyone seen them?

Halloween is an awesome time to arrive to. What all did you do for fun around here?

[For a while now, Ragyo has been spending most of her time in Genessia, near the Bay. But today, her project is finally ready to be unveiled. The position was as close to the Bay as she could get, making it as visible as possible to newcomers. But now the Genessia Revocs was open for business.]

[The event was reminiscent of a gala. She'd had the event catered and would be unveiling a new line of clothing tailored to Genessia city's eclectic style. It was primarily casual wear of any and all styles, with the Revocs emblem tucked away somewhere on the article of clothing somewhere.]

[Along with the impressive gala style event for the grand opening of the branch, Ragyo was unveiling her latest ad campaign, featuring Sonico wearing an elegant fairy dress with the tagline of "Spread your wings and take flight with Revocs."]

[Private Video to Whitley]

Mister Schnee, my research indicates that you are currently in charge of what goes into the welcome pamphlets for new arrivals. If you have a moment, I have a proposition for you.

[Liora's been thinking about the various parties she's been to since she's been here. Despite there being plenty of food laid out and catered to the guests, she always found herself spending most of her time at the parties scrambling to find something to eat. She can't help it if she can't digest all this human food. This Halloween party seemed to be the worst, as there were some dishes that looked like they had bugs on them, but were not actually bugs at all. And Liora can still taste the animatronic spider that she had tried to eat on the stage...]

I've been to a lot of parties and gatherings in Genessia since I've been here, and there's always a lot of food. But I can't digest that kind of food. I always have to dig around for it...which is fine and normal when I'm out in the wild, but I don't want to spend all my time at the parties hunting for food. The Halloween party had eggs that looked like they had spiders on them, but the spiders weren't even real.

[Needless to say, she was quite disappointed.]

So...I don't know what to do. I don't know if I should go to these parties anymore...
