The Second Move [Video]

By offering more flavors, you will expand your clientele. I would also suggest incorporating a variety of color schemes. They will catch the eye and persuade customers to purchase items that they may have overlooked before.

[There is a faint sound of agreement off screen. Ciel tilts his head, smirking self-confidentally.]

I have experience in this field. I hope you keep my suggestions in mind when you put your merchandise into production.

Thank you, Mister Phantomhive. Feel free to give us your input in the future.

[Farewells are said and a door closes. Ciel walks back into view and picks up a pen. The smirk is gone and, in its place, there is a look of steely determination. He writes something down and glances at the screen.]

What do you look for most in candy? Or toys for that matter? I am also considering offering clothing, though that might be a future endeavor.

It's beautiful! { Garnet throws her arms into the air and beams at the falling snow. } I can't remember it falling like this in Alexandria.

{ For the moment, she forgets her title and falls backwards in a snow drift. It's snow angel time. }

How can you stand to stay cooped up inside?

02 - [Video]

( introspective stuff (not broadcasted) )

[The video turns on, and the first thing one hears is the rather terrified and stammering voice of one (1) Sam Erstwhile.]

This-this is really not okay! I mean, it's my birthday today, I really didn't need this as a birthday present!

[The guy seems to be on the verge of fainting, he's so pale. It's oddly dark behind him, even though it's morning...]

I-I...listen, is it possible to just refund a Persona? That's possible, right? Because...mine is a freakin' abomination, and I'm not really sure I want it. How come all of you get the cool ones and I get the one that looks like it feeds on little kid's nightmares??

[And then the darkness behind him moves, and what looks to be like a dark tentacle rests on Sam's shoulder. Sam shudders, letting out a slight whimper, as the skull-like face of his Persona drops down into view.]

[Looks like Sam wasn't kidding about that abomination stuff at all.]

They said having a Persona was a good thing. They said you'd love it, and that it'd help you, and...ugh, this isn't what I was expecting at all!

[And he buries his face in his trembling hands. He really looks like he's going to have a nervous breakdown over this.]

Happy birthday to me...
