Some peeled oranges for breakfast, dearest? <3

Good morning. :)

As we are sure the wait has been long enough, the heads of the house will be announcing talent admission this afternoon via our booth, @OmenGriefbot. Please make sure you are still connected to the bot to ensure you don’t miss out on the announcements! For those who are accepted, proceeding instructions will be given shortly after you’re announced that you’re admitted into Grief Omen. If you do not receive any update from us within 3 hours after this message is broadcasted, please mail us a text to see if there’s any error made.

For talents who negotiated a later deadline, please pay attention to when your interview is due! We will still be welcoming interview sheets but only within the deadline both sides shook their hands upon (no further dispensation discussable).

It is always great to talk to all of you. Please wait for Grief Omen on December! 🩶

Guten Morgen und einen schönen Sonntag, liebste Albine. We hope this morning has been treating you well so far! We have a couple announcements to make at this hour—but please, grab yourself a plate, serve yourself a breakfast, and gather around the dining table while we break the news one by one.

Our October-November reservation and talent recruitment have at last come to an end! For talents who have not submitted their interview, pay close attention to the deadline to ensure you don’t miss the last crucial hours. A more flexible deadline, if you found yourself amidst other more urgent duties, is always negotiable. We will be announcing the admission privately, as always. So if you did submit an application, please make sure your account is still connected to our bot.

Now, as for our reservation, Grief Omen is close for booking officially. But as we tend to be flexible about reservations especially if the lovers are inclined to meet each other, what shall we do if not to help setting up the date for the both of you? ;) Allow us to assist you in making your reservation: @OmenGriefbot! Knock twice and we’ll be veeery quick to help.

Now, like any good apprentice, one should immediately put what they learned into practice. We happen to have a crateful of fresh pomegranates and a houseful of lovers. What better way to practice than to get on peeling a fruit for your beloved? You know the way to our kitchen, Albine. :)

Lesson 01: When choosing a fruit for your lover, pick a pomegranate. A pomegranate requires one precision of a surgeon. And then the restraint of a mother, fervor of a butcher, and devotion of a lover. Treat it like a weeping child you rock in your lap as you peel it, layer by layer. Watch as the arils spill, innocent in their crudity. As you are reminded of your lover, your tenderness will bleed off your fingertips and into its juice, onto the chopping block. You will desire to clean it. Wipe the essence off the plate like you clean blood of your wounds. But this is your way of coming clean of your transgression. Let each bite your lover takes cleanse you off your vile. They won’t let your offering go to waste.

Good afternoon, Albine. It’s been awhile since our last greeting! But alas, we are here, not just to greet you but to share to you a lesson we learnt over breakfast we shared this morning. Perhaps this image gives you an idea what the lesson shall be about? ;)
