[Video]

[The video feed comes on to show a young man, no older than nineteen, wearing a white jacket and shirt. He looks a tad uncomfortable, as if he's unaccustomed to speaking to audiences.]

Um, hey. I guess it's about time I introduced myself, huh? I'm Captain Asem Asuno, Earth Federation Special Forces...though I guess that doesn't mean much here. But it does mean I'm a pilot, and I have my mobile suit here. So if you see a white, giant robot around, don't worry, because it's friendly. I'm here to help in any way I can.

But right now, I need some help. Can anyone tell me how to go about getting a job? Is there a procedure here, or do I just go places and ask for applications?

[He hesitates for a moment, before adding:]

Also, what are some good places to go for dessert?

My name is Theodore, and I am a... former attendant of the Velvet Room.

[So many people within organizations here. It's pretty nice.]

While I cannot assist with your questions pertaining to jobs, there are many establishments within the Virgo sector that contain enough desserts to even satisfy the greatest number of sweet teeth one might have. I would suggest you start your search there.

[Many establishments? Sounds like he's going to have to do plenty of searching.]

That helps me out. Good to know I can search just one district. Thanks a lot.

By the way, you're a former attendant of that room, you said? Would you be able to answer questions if I have them?

I will answer any and every question to the best of my abilities and without sacrificing details.

[Hope you like lectures.]

...Okay.

[Hopefully he'll accept requests to expedite an explanation in case of a situation.]

So, back to the shops. Any that you'd recommend?

[... He is actually disappointed he didn't get to explain things an attendant could. Theo tries not to let it show, poor thing.]

Indeed. There is a lovely little sweet shop by the name of La Papillon that serves delicious cakes. They are sold by slices or full servings, depending on your appetite, and come in a variety of flavors. If you are looking for a tart, I would suggest Le Dessert de Roi. [Frenchy names are always sweet places. But not every sweet place is Frenchy.] Chocolates from Schokolade melt in your mouth.

[~~There's also the Dragon Palace, but Theo would never want someone to experience the unpleasant Urataros.~~]

[Oh, he'll most likely have plenty of opportunities. Patience is key.]

I'm not a fan of tart, but I'll definitely search out the other places first. Thanks for the advice -- I really appreciate it.

[Thankfully, an attendant is required to have a certain amount.]

Of course. Might I inquire why you are asking about it, however? Certain places fit some requests better than others, in my experience.

Oh, sure. You know Caroline, from the Velvet Room? She asked me to bring her my favorite dessert. I just want to make sure it's one that's made good enough.

Ah, a request. I will tell you from experience that we do indeed require the best specimens of that which we ask... though if they are unable to be found, we will gladly accept the quality offered.

[it's okay if you don't find the best kiddo]

Oh, have you done this sort of thing, too? Still going to get the best I can find, though.
