Accidental Video ; Canon Bump

[eldesthatter]

[Through the wonder that is community magic, Sophie's magic book has been propped open and has started recording. Sophie is seated at a work table, with an array of decorated hats set before her. She lifts one hat and smiles.]

You have a mysterious allure. [She gently places the hat down and looks to a wide, creamy hat with roses under the brim.] And you are going to have to marry money.

[She adjusts a caterpillar-green straw hat with a curly green feather.] You are young as a spring leaf.

[To a group of pink bonnets:] You all have dimpled charm.

[To a few hats trimmed with velvet:] And you are very witty.

[She looks at a mushroom pleated bonnet and holds it up. She appears to feel sorry for it, but she smiles warmly.] You have a heart of gold and someone in a high position will see it and fall in love with you. [She nods confidently and sets the hat back down.

The video cuts off.]

[fearleads]

You talk to hats?

[because she is certainly too embarrassed to use video.]

You...saw?

[fearleads]

Yeah! What's wrong? Being a witch isn't a bad thing.

[eldesthatter]

A witch? Oh, no. I'm not a witch.

[fearleads]

Sorry! So, uh, what are you?

[anothersoul]

Those are some very nice hats.

forever handwritten;

[eldesthatter]

Ah...thank you, Miss. That is very kind of you.

[anothersoul]

You're welcome, they're pretty.

[eldesthatter]

They are for sale, if you are interested any them.

[refinedvillian]

The hats are very lucky. Do you put so much thought into each?

forever handwritten;

[eldesthatter]

I try to...yes.

[refinedvillian]

Are they for sale?

[eldesthatter]

They are.

[selene]

W.. wait, hats can fall in love?!

[ Don't mind Usagi here, she's just surprised.. ]

forever handwritten;

[eldesthatter]

Oh, no. Nothing like that.

[selene]

Then why did you tell it that?! You said someone would fall in love with them, right, right?

[eldesthatter]

Oh, I only meant that someone important will see the hat and wish to buy it.

[lifeisbrief]

You're doing a lot for the shop, aren't you?

[handwritten]

[eldesthatter]

As much as I can. We're so small now that is important that I help Fanny as much as possible with the shop.

[handwritten]

[lifeisbrief]

It looks like you're doing a good job! Those are nice hats.

[handwritten]

[eldesthatter]

Thank you. That's very kind of you. I've worked hard on them.

[ Lydia seems very impressed to see her looking so passionately about hats, so she decides to ask.. ]

What sort of hat would you recommend for me? I don't often wear them, but I think it might be nice.

forever handwritten;

[eldesthatter]

For you?

[She takes a while to respond. She's not used to making recommendations for customers.]

Something simple, yet elegant would look lovely I think. Perhaps with green ribbon, to match your eyes.

[ Lydia had it on video as a response, but it's much more comfortable to respond to writing with writing, so she switches over to it. ]

Something like that would be very nice. Do you make the hats?

[eldesthatter]

I do.

Would you be interested in purchasing one?
