video; un: sangria
[ the video opens with a smiling shylock sitting cross-legged on a plush couch in what appears to be a dimly-lit bar. the way he holds himself and the pipe that he puts between his lips for a drag is almost reminiscent of tenkohime, but that's just the tamamo way, babey.
also for people with sharp eyes, there's a little haniwa shrouded in a white tablecloth peeking out from the corner of a screen, with a little shotglass full of wine beside it? huh. must be thorsty. ]
Greetings. I trust that everyone is doing well today? [ aside from the haniwa invasion, but he'll get to that in a bit. ] First of all, let me introduce myself. My name is Shylock Bennett, a wizard from the West, and I would just like to announce that my bar, Hemlock, shall be opening its doors to the public very soon.
[ the camera then pans around, showing off the ornately-designed main bar. ah, another haniwa near the doorstep for those with sharp eyes. shylock will give it something to drink later. ]
My bar shall be serving not only the standard high-quality fair that all Tamamo establishments are well-known for, but I'll also be showcasing some of my more magical creations in the near future. Please do look forward to it. It'll be an experience you won't forget -- or in some cases, you'd rather like to forget. I can provide a drink just for that as well.
[ he pauses here to take a long drag from his pipe, the smoke creating all sorts of hazy lines in the air. ]
I must mention, however, that my establishment has a no-tolerance policy towards technology. I'm afraid that you'll have to turn off your phones upon coming into Hemlock, as you are encouraged to talk to the people around you. You must understand.
[ even though he's been doing so well with this video call? yes, absolutely. it's a pain for someone who doesn't like tech in general, you know? but alas, he has to "get with the times", as they say.
he blinks at the nearby haniwa as if he noticed it just now, and smiles. ]
Oh, and in case anyone is concerned, I know about the debilitating effects the haniwa has on people. Luckily, my specialty magic can help neutralize its effects, so if you know someone who is currently suffering from endless nightmares and hallucinations, bring them to me. I'll do my best to smoke them out of their system.
It's such a shame that they're so cursed. Aren't they just adorable?
[ fufu. with one last chuckle and a wave of his pipe, the video then shuts itself off. ]
( ooc: bar prompts over here! no opening parties or whatever -- he wants to make it appear like it's been around for a while. )

maybe. idk if that'd be very Buddha-like of me, though.

But we are getting out of topic here -- either way, I can't wait to see you and your new companion. And not to mention the length of the tab you'll soon be having.
