You might actually learn something if you stop running your mouth.

[As the video starts up, it’s with Chipp’s big, stupid, smiling screen right in front of the camera, slightly out of focus -]

Hey y’all! Got some important news for everyone.

[- Only for the camera to pull away like it’s being held by something else, floating at Chipp’s eye level and puttering away.
Anyone who’s met his Pokemon would know it’s DJ, probably with the phone strapped onto its engine filter somehow...]

First -
Got my death day comin’ up! Third o’ September. And per tradition, I’m invitin’ everyone.
You’re all invited, every last one of ya - even if you hate me, you’re invited, too!

But! Here’s the kicker.

If you come, you gotta bring a soup ingredient. Don’t matter what it is - just gotta be somethin’ that’d be good in a soup!
Death day tradition. You set up a big ol’ cauldron, make the broth yourself, and everyone adds something to it.
Just so everyone got an idea of what to bring... it’s gonna be a veggie broth with a kick.
So pick somethin’ good for that!

... Another tradition: if ya fuck up my soup, I get to retaliate. And since none o’ you have death days like mine, that means I get to be annoying at your birthday party. Them’s the rules!

Aaaanyway -

[The camera pulls back even further, now, showing off... some sort of gleaming building heavily decorated with metal and glass behind him. There are overhangs over every door and window with all of them holding tons of suncatchers, making the whole thing glitter in the sun.]

I’ll be holdin’ it over here! Got my shop open, finally - the Junk Chapel’s open ‘n ready for business!
Got a big open lot for storin’ junk, so keep bringin’ me your trash, but you can leave it here instead! Inside the buildin’ is art ‘n tech that I’m sellin’...
And I’m takin’ art from other artists to sell for’em, if any of y’all are interested! Any art’s game. Paintin’s, sculptures, illustrations, jewelry, whatever.
I’ll set up a post on my social media junk for folks to apply; ‘til then, you can just come in and ask ‘bout it!

Awright, ‘s all I got for ya. Wear somethin’ outdoorsy for the party; it gets hot in Solarpeak!

Oh -
And, Reiner, Miss Stelle... you two hit me up when ya can, okay? Got stuff for ya both.

[ooc: The Junk Chapel’s info post!

AND for the party: send in your character’s soup ingredients over here!!
This way I can write up what’s going on with that ahead of time and torture everyone with not knowing the results. Try and keep the ingredients secret until then!]
