To anyone I may have worried during the past month and a half, I apologize. I was out of commission for quite some time due to the events involving Chaosmon, unfortunately.

I'm feeling much, much better now, though! Duo, I should be returning back to work within the next few days. Did we want to talk and set up an official date for my return to the teashop?

For anyone I don't know, hello! It's lovely to meet you! My name is Estellise Sidos Heu-- [ she pauses there, then blushes and laughs a little. ]

I-I'm sorry, I'm still getting used to the name change. I'm Estellise Lowell. Simply Estelle is fine, though. I know my name can be quite a mouthful, even with less of it to say now.

[ she sits back and smiles at the video feed. ]

I look forward to meeting anyone new or not-so-new to this world, and seeing those of you I've met before once again! It's so good to be up and doing things again!

Good to have you back in order, Estelle!

[ofthefullmoon]

Now we've just got to get you completely back in order, Rita!

[blastiaobsessieanonymous]

... Honestly, at this point, I'm recovered enough to get back to work, so...

[ofthefullmoon]

Don't overdo it, though, all right?

[blastiaobsessieanonymous]

Right, right.

Huh? You work with Duo at his teashop? Cool! I'm Sora! I work over at the Tetha teashop.

[ofthefullmoon]

I'm his assistant manager, actually! It's nice to meet you, Sora. Are you having fun over there?

Re: [Video]

[whapswithakey]

Oh wow! That's awesome.

Me? I'm having an okay time. The uniform is a little weird though.

[Video]

[ofthefullmoon]

Oh, right, the uniform situation over there is quite different than the one set in place at Duo's shop ...

Re: [Video]

[whapswithakey]

Yeah it is...but I'm getting used to it.

[And he laughs nervously.] That isn't weird to say, is it?

[Video]

[ofthefullmoon]

Not at all! In that kind of position, you kind of have to get used to it, right?

Re: [Video]

[whapswithakey]

Right! I mean, if you didn't, you couldn't work in it right?

[Video]

[ofthefullmoon]

Exactly!

[lyricalmagical]

Hello there!

You were present during the battle with Chaosmon, weren't you?

[ofthefullmoon]

Hello!

Yes, I was. I was there along with my husband, my best friend, and our ... roommate.

[ Repede is now their roommate. ]

[There is a cousin smirking at you, Estelle]

I do think Estelle Lowell suits you better... though I don't now if I'll ever get away from calling you Estellise. My own habits, you know.

video

[ofthefullmoon]

[ she giggles a little. ]

I wouldn't expect you to ever stop calling me that, Ioder. You've always known me as Estellise, after all.

video

[fortheempire]

Of course. I'm glad it doesn't bother you, though. I know some people can be rather touchy about their name.

video

[ofthefullmoon]

Well, 'Estellise' is my given name ...

video

[fortheempire]

You'd be surprised!

video

[duomaxwell]

Eh... I got some bad news, Estelle...

video

[ofthefullmoon]

... oh, no.

What happened?

video

[duomaxwell]

Ahime's gone. She didn't show up for a few days, so I went and checked her apartment. It's deserted and I can't reach her D-Comm anymore.

video

[ofthefullmoon]

... Oh, no ...

[ lookin' kinda sad there, Estelle. ]

I wish I had gotten to know her a little better ...

video

[duomaxwell]

[Sorry, hun.]

Same... but maybe she's better off there, yehknow? Always felt like she was missing something back home.

video

[ofthefullmoon]

I suppose that's true ...

So then, we're down one. Are we going to hire someone new?

video

[duomaxwell]

I tried to steal that Sora kid that got hired at Tetha back but Jinx wouldn't have it. Dad's been helpin' out though... I think we'll be okay so long as he stays around.

video

[ofthefullmoon]

Perhaps I could try talking to Jinx about it?

video

[duomaxwell]

Could be worth a shot... though really we could probably recruit some one new on our own if he tried hard enough.

video

[ofthefullmoon]

It looks like we've got a Plan A and a Plan B, then!

video

[duomaxwell]

Yup!
