[The message is hand written, but you can hear to sound of it being written down on paper.]

To do:

1. Order one hundred yards of pink ribbon, three boxes of feathers, at least one bundle of lace.

2. Make sure Lettie and Martha clean their room before Friday.

3. Ask Fanny about the budget this week.

4. Visit the book shop?

[You can hear her scribbling out the fourth item and sighing heavily.]

No. Not today I think.

[Other voices can be heard, though they are faint. Perhaps calling from another room.]

Oh Sophie! Come look! Howl's Castle is coming into view!

Here to steal another heart perhaps? [Sophie is muttering as her footsteps echo off into the distance.]

[treatinferiors]

It's probably going to be awhile before you come back, isn't it?

[audio][about fifteen minutes later]

[eldesthatter]

[Instead of a written response you'll hear Sophie shouting.]

Lettie! Have you been playing with my new book!? [There's a muffled response from off in the distance. Sophie sighs again.]

[treatinferiors]

Yes, I can hear you. No, I'm not Lettie.

What's Howl's Castle?

[eldesthatter]

[Sophie was actually around to see this message appear so after a while of staring at it...]

Is this an enchanted book? The seller assured me it was not.

[starblaze]

No, it's a community that connects different worlds.

[seasaltzombie]

Uh. I don't know if that was meant to be your diary, but you should probably know it's ended up public.

What was that about stealing hearts?

text

[eldesthatter]

Yes. I had gathered that from the other responses...

The Wizard Howl. His castle came round Market Chipping today. [And that should explain everything of course.]

[seasaltzombie]

Sorry about that. The community got you, and you're kinda stuck with it.

Who's that? And why is he so interested in stealing hearts?

[thatsmyyogurt]

You might want to start writing your to-do list somewhere else.

[text]

[eldesthatter]

Yes. I have gathered that now.

[scanningutterly]

[You know the description.]

"Stealing hearts"?

[eldesthatter]

[congrats! You're her first video. She's going to need a second to recover...]

What...I'm sorry, is this some kind of advanced spell?

[atadflamboyant]

My goodness, such a lot of feathers!

[eldesthatter]

Ah, yes. We were running low...

[reply also handwritten]

[mad_again]

That is certainly a lot of ribbon, feathers and lace. What are you using them for?

[eldesthatter]

My family owns a hat shop. We need them to make new hats.

[candace_flynn]

Ooooh, are you making a dress?

[eldesthatter]

Hats, actually.

[makewayforroze]

You sound very busy.

[eldesthatter]

Not terribly, I suppose.

[enshrined]

Are you making something, miss?

[eldesthatter]

Not at the moment. I was taking inventory of our shop, actually.

[notmyfirstrodeo]

[Well. To do lists seem new. Coulson has to assume she's knew and doesn't realize the community has snuck up on her and invaded her life.

Poor girl.] You may want to add "learn about the interdimensional community that's stalking you" to that list.

[eldesthatter]

I've moved all future lists to another book. That is at the top of it now, though.
