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.

[Hngh dealing with people.

But also. A painting workshop.

I might be interested in a painting workshop.

What's "amigurumi?"

[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!

[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.

[cuteshit]

[He did his Best.]

Yeah, that.

I mean, if you wanna learn, it's never too late to start. You do a lot of painting, though?

[vecna]

In general? No. I've had a busy past few years.

But after coming to this hotel, I thought it would be a shame not to take advantage of the floor I live on. I used to draw often when I was younger, and sometimes I'd paint.

[eyescar]

do you think if i draw something out we can do it??

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!

[animated]

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

[cuteshit]

Yeah, definitely! You draw it, I'll help you figure out how to make it!

[cuteshit]

No time like the present, yeah? Since vacation means you're not so busy all the time, makes sense to fill it up with painting. Be real cool to see what you do sometime, if you're into sharing that kinda stuff.

[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!

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]

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?

[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?

[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.

[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!

[vecna]

I don’t mind. It’s usually the same subject, though.

[SPIDERS!!!]

So is this something you do back home?

[Does Henry mean art? Or setting up workshops? Both??]

[eyescar]

i'm gonna start working on it right now, sensei!

[animated]

!!!!
then count me in!

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

[cuteshit]

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