[at the moment, Sophie is heading a little uncertainly into the town square. she's wearing the cream-coloured dress with anemone flowers--the dress she charmed for protection--but between its colour and her hair, it's only making her face look rather pale today. she has, in fact, been somewhat ill. in particular, she's been experiencing a bizarre aversion to the smell of certain fruits, resulting in Sophie's mostly confining herself to her townhome recently, as the pies made her quite nauseous.]

[however, she is relieved to see that the tables of pies are gone now. she stops in the Town Square, detaching the CAT from her dress, and activates it set to video]

Is this...ah, yes, it is!

Hello, everyone. [she smiles politely] My name is Sophie Hatter. I know many of you are new to this town and have only just begun to experience some of the absurd events that happen here--[she wrinkles her nose]--but I imagine you have an idea by now. Which is why, if you have a moment, I would like to speak with you. I'm not an expert, but I can sew protective charms into clothing for anyone who would like it. You would just need to meet me in the square with an item of clothing similar to the charmed clothing you would like, and I'll sew it for you using that. I'll be spending the afternoon here, so please do come by.

[she pauses, considering shutting off the CAT for a moment before she decides to add after all:] And Doctor, I have yours ready.
