( The feed starts in a dimly-lit room, dust motes drifting through the nearby window which looks surprisingly new compared to the other brick around it. The camera shifts a little, as if someone is adjusting the phone to make sure it's going to stay this time... and then Angela's voice starts.

She also flicks on one of the overhead lights, not as bright as the fluorescents in the office buildings--more moody--and sits in a very comfy-looking chair in the center of the shot. )

Good morning. I am Angela, the proprietor of The Bookstore, a shop located at the edge of District 1 and 2. Our goal is to record the stories of this city and its unwilling inhabitants; these books, small or large, are able to be lent out to anyone who stops by and trades a story of their own for it, thus continually giving The Bookstore a source of "income", as it were. Feel free to stop by any time, and I or one of my recordkeepers will assist you.

( Does that just sound like a weird-ass library? Sure. Anyway, her shilling done--

but not the shilling of The Bookstore's number one employee (self-proclaimed)-- )

Forsooth!!! And that is not all -- there are many empty books one may use to pen their own story if they should like, and our recordkeepers are all helpful indeed!!! There is myself, the magnificent Don Quixote, who ardently seeks to record every valiant tale no matter how big or small it may seem, how important or trivial, for every one is worth the words spoken! There is Yesod, who's keen eye for detail shall leave no stone unturned as he asks question after question in order to best refine thy tale to a story that shall resound across the ages to come! Of course, there are those who seem difficult to speak to, such as Mistress Gebura, but I can assure thee--

( YEAH OKAY WE DON'T HAVE TIME FOR THAT Angela is shoving Don Quixote out of frame with her foot, where did she come from... from behind one of the bookshelves?? Get back there.

Anyway, once again, shilling done. )

With that out of the way, I had a few questions to ask.

( Angela crosses her legs at the ankles, back straight... so very serious...!! Ignore the put-out mumblings of one of her employees just out of sight, thank you. )

One: What are some hobbies or activities you enjoy, and what do you like about them? Two: What is your favorite ice cream flavor, and why? And three: If you could change one thing about your own story, what would it be?

( ...okay! )

[ooc: don quixote icanfixer will probably jump into conversations too, as a warning, but frankly any of the bookstore's employees can do so if they're around and feel like it... what's she going to do, fire you? that's all the notes here tho happy october everyone]
