[When the feed clicks on, Maribelle is seated in a large leather backed chair, sipping tea next to a vacant fireplace.]
To all of you that wish to attend, my fine establishment will be having its grand opening on the 30th of the month. If you do wish to attend, please wear something a little more appropriate for a proper tea sitting, and not the standard fare of shirtlessness I see from certain citizens of our city. I would like for my staff to please meet me at the shop at the corner of 14th and Willow as soon as possible, so that we might discuss everything.
[She pauses to take a lingering sip of her tea as if considering something, and then sighs and says what she was thinking anyways.]
I am aware of this present threat that people feel is looming over the city, but I have no intention of letting that stop our daily lives if I can help it. I have faith in the powers that be to keep this place intact, or we'll simply all have to die and be forced into starting all over again. What will happen, will happen, and at this particular point I am not involved enough to fret over the details myself. I hope for the safety of everyone involved, and I hope that damage will be kept to a minimum. I-
[She paused mid-sentence, deciding perhaps that remaining neutral was still the best option for the safety of her newly started business. Offering healing to any who need it is all well and good, but if some super powered tyrant was going to torture her to death unless she healed him, she'd prefer to avoid it. It was best if she kept that particular tid-bit under her hat.]
I might also suggest that there are those with rather unusual powers here, and that it is unwise for anyone to create such a ruckus in the future if they do not wish for a painful reminder of how small any one person can truly be in the grand scheme of multiple universes. You may have the power to destroy the universe, but for all you know there may be an ant with the only specific power of being able to eat your power and leave you a crippled wretch. Temper whatever power you may possess with wisdom, and you may all live much more pleasant existences. That is all.

[When one walks into the tea time cafe, they'll notice that the shop is immaculately clean, and that it has an atmosphere that seems to dictate a certain level of formality. Maribelle is in the corner of the room with a blackboard and a pointer with several women in proper looking maid uniforms sitting in chairs and listening to her lecture.]
When you bring the tea to customers, remember that you must be dignified at all times! This is not some raunchy restaurant or sleazy pub where people are supposed to ogle you. If anyone does so, you are to ask them politely to cease their behavior while in this shop, and if they fail to do so you are to report to the manager which for the present time being is me.
[She clears her throat and then holds a tray with tea, saucers, tea cups, pastries, and the check balanced perfectly aloft on her fingertips.]
Today I would like to have all of you practice on your balance. It's all well and good to carry a tray in both hands to ensure the safety of your cargo, but I want you to be efficient and punctual while managing a measure of class.
[She seems to notice the person who walked in for the first time, and wraps up her lecture for the time being.]
Over to your right you will find your stations with an obstacle course of my own designing. You are to balance both trays filled with plastic cups of water for practice. When you have all sufficiently proven that you are capable of not spilling or dropping anything with the obstacles you may be expected to encounter, we shall move on to porcelain. Now, begin!
[As the small mob of maids sets off, Maribelle makes her way to the new arrival with a warm smile.]
