[So, Charlie's looking happier than she has in a few days. A full grin on her face, and a genuine one at that. She's outside the dragon and there are people working on it behind her. And, occasionally, a boat goes past. Wild curse. She was almost afraid to go to work. Whatever. She has an announcement.]

The Jasmine Dragon will reopen two weeks from today. Sorry for any inconveniences this may have caused anyone. We had a...problematic employee.

[Yeah. Leaving it at that.] My co-owner Rapuznel and I would also like to announce that starting shortly after our reopening, we'll be offering cooking classes for anyone interested. We know that people come in without knowing how to cook and would like to help out as best as we can. Sign-ups start a week before the Dragon reopens, we're willing to work with your schedule and skill level. Looking forward to see you all soon!

[And with a grin and a wave, Charlie turns the device off. She can be found at the Dragon, supervising reconstruction and helping where she can.]

Ah, I was wondering why it closed just like that. I really liked the place.

Is it too early to sign up now?

Re: video;

[charring]

Hello! No, it's not too early to sign up. And I apologize for closing the store. Do you remember a few days ago how suddenly people were just being incredibly rude? We found the source of such behavior in our shop. It had to go.

Then sign me up!

Um, I don't really remember anything like. I must of missed it.

Re: video;

[charring]

Be glad you did. Something was putting something in the tea and making people very, very hard to deal with. It wasn't all that fun.

Consider yourself signed up, then! We also take suggestions for first class recipes.

Re: video;

[virginwings]

Yeah, I don't wanna deal with that sorta stuff.

Oh, I got one: ramen!

Re: video;

[charring]

I actually have a recipe book for that. I'll talk to Rapunzel about it. We'll come up with something fun. I promise.

[virginwings]

Mm, there's lots of ways to make ramen. And I look forward to it!

Re: video;

[charring]

Oh, right! I forgot about that. Sorry. I'll let people know as they sign up.

It's okay. That's why I'm here, to remind you!

Problematic employee? [yep, checking in on the girl]

Re: [audio]

[charring]

Yeah. It was kind of stupid of me to not realize this at first, but we had a 'new hire' that was putting something in the tea that made all of the customers really, really difficult to deal with.

[skintoskin]

Cooking classes? Sign me up, shrimp.

[He really is bored...]

[charring]

Consider yourself signed up. Any recipe suggestions?

[skintoskin]

Burgers. And fries. And... double-decker sandwiches. And...

[charring]

Basically food?

[skintoskin]

Well, yeah, I guess.

I know how to make sandwiches...

[charring]

You'll learn a lot from us, I promise.

[skintoskin]

If I learn anything, it'll be a miracle, shrimp.

Who's us? You and the girl with all the hair?

[charring]

Yep. Myself and Rapunzel.

[skintoskin]

Cool. So, you teaching classes or one-on-one?

[charring]

Small classes taught by both myself and Rapunzel.

[skintoskin]

So you teach together?

Hello, Charlie. Can I still sign up to take your lessons?

Re: Audio

[charring]

You absolutely can.

Wow, I didn't exactly expect this to take off so quickly.
