It's pretty cool of this place to have a whole floor just for making stuff. Seems like you could do anything you want there!

I've been working on fixing up one of the rooms for some kind of group work. Like, a crafting workshop? Not sure if that's the kind of thing anyone here would be interested in, but I was getting set up to do something kind of like this back home for some of the local kids before I came here. We were planning on starting with turning old socks into puppets, but most people here are older, so we could probably start with something more advanced. Don't gotta worry about letting you guys handle scissors unsupervised or anything.

It's just a thought, anyway, but if anyone would be into that kind of thing... let me know, yeah? Could do all kinds of things! Hell, we could yarnbomb the place to brighten it up a little bit! If it's something people would wanna go to, we could do a whole bunch of workshops. Like, one for puppets, one for painting, one for amigurumi...

Anyway. Let me know. Figure this room could be a kind of community craft space for anyone to use and hang out in, either way. It's room 5 on the third floor.

[cuteshit]

[!!]

Yeah?! You'd be into this? What kinda stuff do you wanna start with?

[HELL YEAH]

[eyescar]

i wanna make something really cute! like cute bread!! or a teddy!

[cuteshit]

Hell, why not both! A teddy is pretty ambitious for a beginning, but if you work hard, you'll make the cutest goddamn teddy this place as ever seen!

[Hngh dealing with people.

But also. A painting workshop.

I might be interested in a painting workshop.

What's "amigurumi?"

[cuteshit]

Yeah? Cool! I figured that's one a lot of people could get behind. Painting is real therapi

It's real good for stress and shit.

Amigurumi are dolls and stuffed animals made out of yarn! You can make little outfits and shit for them, too.

[vecna]

[He tried.]

Therapeutic?

I see. I've never worked with yarn before. It's probably best to stick with what I know.

OH DUDE I didn't know that people did amigurumi outside of my world! (≧▽≦)

This sounds like an awesome idea! I only know the basics in knitting tears in clothes, but I'd love to take my skills a step further!

[cuteshit]

Hell yeah, they do! I don't know a lot of people who know how, but I know they're out there.

Be happy to help you figure it out! Everyone's gotta start somewhere, right?

[staffcocked]

That's right! You're a stand up guy! ★

I've always thought about making my own puppets to help entertain the kids back home. We're still recovering from a war, so giving 'em more entertainment would be greatly appreciated.

that’s a great idea!
makes me wish i had some minis to paint while we’re all hanging out

[cuteshit]

The way I hear it, you can get anything you want here! No reason you can't get your hands on some, right? That shit is wild, those things are so freaking tiny!

[animated]

!!!!
then count me in!

Oh, a crafting workshop sounds wonderful! I think that's a great idea, and it's incredibly resourceful, too. Have you gotten things set up already?

[cuteshit]

I got the room set up for people to hang out in, but I haven't gotten stuff set up for the first workshop yet. I wanna start with something that will give people a chance to learn something new, but maybe not too challenging, you know?

[shardshot]

I understand. If you want any assistance, don't hesitate to reach out; I'm Navia, and I'd be more than happy to help. It sounds like a lot of fun!

A crafting workshop sounds like a ton of fun. What a wonderful idea!

[cuteshit]

You think so? Does that mean you're in?

[hathasacat]

Consider me a happy member!

Are you there now?

[healbuff]

Yarnbomb??? That sounds awesome bro, count me in
sounds like something I can do for boy's night HMMMMMM 🤔

[cuteshit]

Hell yeah! Really brings a lot of life to a place!

Yo, you're planning on a boy's night? What's that gonna be like?

[healbuff]

I'm thinking go-karts, laser tag, or something crazier the hotel can provide like
Platforming
You know, in video games? I think that would be kind of awesome

Oh and ax-throwing

[yes that's a real thing]

@fushiguro.m

[seaurchin]

This is a good idea.

I want to learn some basic sewing or knitting, so if there's space, I would like to join.

[cuteshit]

Hell yeah, always room for more! Bet you could pick up both real quick. It ain't hard, but some people psych themselves out before they even start.

Were you interested in learning before this?

[seaurchin]

Well ... we'll see ...

Yeah. I think it's a good skill to have, especially if I'll be fighting at home.
