[Video | January 1st, Afternoon]

[z_jay]

Good afternoon, Luceti. Eugene, here, and I hope you're all keeping warm out there. I know many of you are probably still recovering from the solstice celebration earlier this month, or festivities that might preoccupy you during the end of a year and the beginning of the next, but I am in need of a favor from a few of you.

[His smile is hopeful, a little nervous, but not tremendously so. That nervousness does prompt him to lick his lips to wet them, giving a semi-glance offscreen for a moment before continuing.]

I, uh, will need whoever's helping Tasha out with her café to contact me as soon as possible. Nothing's gone wrong, but I think it's a good idea I get to know you all better. I don't think I've met you all just yet. But we can work on fixing that.

Anyway, business is open as usual, if you need a warm drink to keep you from freezing. Drop by, I'd love to have the company! As always, listeners...

[Now his smile is genuine, feeling a little bit of embarrassment since technically the audience was watchers instead of listeners, but old habits die hard.]

Don't do anything crazy, out there. Just kidding-- stay safe.

The first step to becoming good at something is to suck at it first.

[Billy hadn't seen Jack with a gun, or trying to shoot. Eugene, on the other hand, wouldn't mind something gun-themed, gung-ho gun-lover that he was and all]

...I feel like I've heard that before, recently...

[Well, it's not like it'll hurt anyone. Hopefully.]

Alright, I'll bite. Shoot off some rounds at the battle dome, maybe? Maybe she'd like that.

I have it on pretty good authority that Tasha will very much approve of this.

[Encouraging a young man to shoot a high projectile weapon-- it was odd what Tasha might find a suitable tribute to her. But she had been an odd woman, odd in all the best of ways.]

We'll do it in a few days' time. Give people a chance to make sure they can make it. Sound good?

[selfhelp]

Sounds good. Just say the word and I'll be there.

[Or he'll try, anyway. He does occasionally have a life.]

You've got it. Till then, Billy.
