018 ♍ video ♍ backdated to this afternoon

[ feed cuts on to kanaya sitting at a desk in her room. her eyes are closed and lips pursed with her thumb and forefinger pinched above them, not parting very widely when she speaks, as if she's under some discomfort.

toothaches are awful. growing your fangs back in over the course of a day is worse. ]

This is likely already common knowledge to any who are familiar with him, but at this point I think it would be safe to conclude that Ron Weasley has returned home. To any who were closely acquainted with him, you have my condolences.

[ she winces and reaches offscreen to grab a glass of water, hands over her mouth as she holds a gulp over her front teeth a few moments before swallowing. why did she have to do this now? this was a mistake, she should have known better. ] Excuse me. [ she pulls her purse onto her lap and starts digging around in it for a bottle of painkillers. ]

So, unfortunately, this renders mine the primary income to a household of six, which may necessitate an expansion of that. This season does tend to create a greater need with the increases in consumption that the holidays bring with them, so I may have a fair amount of options that won't use my age as an obstacle. Assuming I can balance my schedule between that and my education...or maybe I'll simply need to drop that one.

[ she finally finds the pills and drops two in her hand. ] Of course, if any of you require an augmentation to your wardrobe for season functions, my services are always available for an appropriate fee.

[ the video ends as she pops some advil. ]

I still have much to learn, but I have at least begun to research it. [ with this as her main reference guide. ] It certainly won't be tomorrow, or even within the next few months, but I think eventually we may be ready to construct a plan of how to achieve this.

I'm pawsitive that we'll be able to make it happen someday! And in the meantime we can work out all the tiny details and purrpare ourselves.

Yes, I believe that if we give the plan its due time to take shape, then by the time we're ready to move forward with it, it should be without flaw.

Or purretty close, at least. I don't think we'll efur be able to do anything without something unexpected popping up.

Well, that at this point can be taken for granted. We'll just have to do our best to anticipate it.

Or at least be ready to deal with it even if it catches us off guard.

Which is why it's important to give this the full preparation it's due.

Yeah. We'd look purretty silly if something supurr dumb came along and we weren't ready fur it!

And I've never been particularly fond of looking silly. But sometimes specifics are difficult to anticipate, so the best defense against them will be to leave ourselves room to improvise.

If there's anything we're good at, it's impurrvising! The dark and stupid events of the future doesn't stand a chance. [she laughs]

[ dark and stupid events of the future. well there's a sudden ugly reminder. ]

...Right. Of course it doesn't.

Nope! And if they come around we'll make them sorry, so don't worry ok? [she tilts her head and smiles a little, sensing the small drop in mood on the other side]

If there is one thing I'm gifted in, it's making them sorry. We can take that much for granted.

I'm purretty good at it too, you know! We've purractically got this in the bag between us.

Together we'll see them in pieces if they dare threaten our future.

Yeah. We're going to make people happy and have nice things and nothing can stop us!

Yes. Happy, nice things. No efforts to soil that will be allowed.

None at all! [she giggles] I even purromise I'll keep it cleaner than any of my clothes.

[ she finds it in her to smile a little more at that. ]

Your clothes are generally kept cleaner than your room, yes?

Most of the time! There's a lot less of them to mess up, after all.

I may have to fix that. But as long as you're cycling through pairs, you can always leave the soiled ones in the laundry.

Uh...yeah! Defurnitely! [big innocent grin. Kanaya doesn't need to know what her defintion of 'soiled' is before she switches them out for washing]

[ but she does know to clarify, especially with that lack of fuss. ]

That means anything you've already worn since last washing. Even once.

This is what the store will need to be kept cleaner than.

[even once????? what kind of crazy talk was that? Nepeta's face easily betrays her shock at this ridiculous decree, although she recovers quickly enough by COMPLETELY GLOSSING OVER THAT FIRST PART]

Yeah, the store will pawsitively be much cleaner than that! You'll purractically be able to eat off the floors.

[ kanaya jumps in a bit too quickly. ] But we won't be! That is important.
