hi everyone, my name is sylvia and i'm here with an exciting opportunity!

the purramid cafe is looking for more employees! we've got positions open for baristas, managers, and...wait for it...sphinx handlers!! i mean, look at that kitty and how much it wants to be your friend. and guess what? you can totally befriend it and get paid for it at the same time! doesn't that sound like a dream job? ;D

if you're worried about not having any experience, i became a barista and i knew nothing about how to make drinks. but thanks to getting some top-notch training, i'm now a certified coffee connoisseur!

[ She really isn't. ]

if you have any questions about working with us, hit me up anytime, i'm available 24/7 :)

orrrr you can comment to this post with more cat pics or cat facts! seriously, they'd make my day. thanks guys!

(p.s. please also consider applying for the barista position, i could use the help)

[ OOC: More info on the cafe can be found here! ]

hey, anything counts! even no experience at all, like i said earlier!

but to answer your question, yep, that's me, so... that means you must be tsutha, right?
are you interested in working with us? :D
if my guess is right, i'd seriously love to see you there!

[prettyrocks]

yeah it's me! I'm here for real now. came through the mirror and everything.

I already committed to helping bus tables at the Sly Seadog for this month but I can see if I have time for both that and the café and also my witch studies!

[stardustish]

then welcome to the mirrorbound club! i was wondering about you lately, so i'm glad to see you again :)

hey, no worries. if taking on another job sounds stressful then don't force yourself! studying is important, yeah? what're you learning?

[prettyrocks]

me too!
I mean you too!
I mean I'm glad to see you too!
even if I'm not seeing you and just talking through words.

so far I'm just trying to get back some of my old spells. starting with the basics: fire and earth. stuff I was doing in my teens, but now I have to learn it all over again.

[stardustish]

i get you, no worries :)
wait, so you knew magic before you came here?
that's awesome! :o you got this. if you did it once, you can definitely do it again, yeah?

but hey, if you're still considering joining us, maybe you can swing by sometime and see what it's like?

[prettyrocks]

yeah! I'm a sorcerer, so I've been able to do magic basically forever.

sure, I'll come check it out! it sounds like a fun place.

[stardustish]

that's awesome, on both counts!

are you free this afternoon? :) i'm free towards the end of my shift and i can show you the ropes.

[prettyrocks]

sure! I don't have to be at the sly seadog until dinner time, but I can come by before then if that works for you?

what does colon parentheses mean?

[stardustish]

yup of course that works!

and
oh, right!
if you turn your device clockwise to the left, you can see that :) looks like a smiley face!

[prettyrocks]

great, I can't wait!

[ Give her a second to listen to her watch read the sentence out loud, then turn the device this way and that, squinting at the screen. ]

oh hey, it does! that's amazing!

[stardustish]

right?!
and look at this
:(
it's a sad face!
:D is a bigger smiling face, etc.

[prettyrocks]

there are so many different kinds of faces! that's really cool who thought of this? I'm super excited about this. you can't tell because my watch is only sending letters but I sound really excited right now.

[stardustish]

i believe you! and i don't know who thought of this, but it's been around for a while where i'm from.
there're TONS of faces like these that you can make over text!
i'll definitely teach you sometime :)
those are the basic ones though, i think?

[prettyrocks]

I would really like to learn that! it would probably be easier to learn just two face letters than it would be to learn all the letters that make up whole words.

[stardustish]

okok, next time we meet up, i'll show you all the faces i know!
it's a promise. :D

[prettyrocks]

I can't wait!
I'll see you this afternoon
