[the video starts, and one can see the familiar face of Amy Dylandy come on. She's looking well (though it seems she's gained a slight amount of weight). She smiles, before speaking]

Hello, everyone. It's been a long time, hasn't it? I'm sorry I haven't really been active much these past few months. Things have been extremely busy for me lately.

... I heard about the things that have happened lately. I guess trouble finally started to crop up again, hasn't it? I really did pick a fine time to come back... But, all the same, I guess it's good if we're all aware of things, right?

[she laughs a little bit]

Anyway, I'd really like to catch up with anyone who's interested. And... maybe get to know anyone who's joined the Network recently, as well. For those of you who don't know me, my name is Amy. Amy Dylandy.

... We're very different, I guess. I feel like I'm only able to become the person I want to be because I finally have some bedrock in my life.

I respect your opinion, we're just... very different, I guess.

audio

[numberedshepherd]

I guess we are, but... it sounds like it bothers you, even if you do respect it.

I'm trying to stay away from ambition that could be... destructive, I suppose.

audio

[feastorfamine]

Mmm, if you're doing that, I can't complain. It'd take more than that for me to stop counting you as a friend.

audio

[numberedshepherd]

Thank you, Amy. That actually means quite a lot. For what it's worth, I consider you a friend as well.

audio

[feastorfamine]

Let me know if you ever need anything then. Or, if you ever want to have dinner with someone at Gateway. I happen to be able to get you a good discount.

audio

[numberedshepherd]

Do you have a recommendation for something nice? I've been a headache to deal with lately for my girlfriend and I want to say "thank you" somehow.

audio

[feastorfamine]

The restaurant I work at is named Vincent's. I can give you directions.

audio

[numberedshepherd]

Yes, I'd like that very much. As well as your favorite item on the menu to recommend when we get there.

audio

[feastorfamine]

... Oh, that's tough, Lazarus. Like asking me mom to pick her favorite child tough.

audio

[numberedshepherd]

...sorry, I can see your situation and appreciate the difficulty you're facing. How about... what do you recommend for someone eating there for the first time?

Re: audio

[feastorfamine]

Mmm, well, they make a pretty good smoked salmon alfredo. The duck cacciatore is also spectacular.

audio

[numberedshepherd]

Yeah... I think she'll like one of those.

What about your desserts? I have to eat something as well.

audio

[feastorfamine]

I recommend the black forest cake, personally.

audio

[numberedshepherd]

Is it a restaurant more for couples? Or are there crying babies there often?

audio

[feastorfamine]

I wouldn't exactly call it a family restaurant, no. Mostly couples, business people...

audio

[numberedshepherd]

Oh, good. OK. I think she'll like that.

Do you want us to try to come when you're there? Or would that be strange?

audio

[feastorfamine]

I don't really work out in the dining area, so chances are I probably wouldn't realize you came in, sadly. They keep me pretty busy in the kitchen, and I'm not even an actual chef.

audio

[numberedshepherd]

I guess it wouldn't be like Espresso Yourself. That makes sense.

[He sounds a little wistful for the days when he worked behind a counter and was readily accessible to anyone who wanted to see him.]

audio

[feastorfamine]

Not really, no. Not that kind of establishment.
