A good day to you all.
My name is Lark. I have not has the chance nor the pleasure of making the acquaintance of many of you here. I arrived shortly before the spell took hold, and as such have been woefully remiss in making introductions. What is more, I do not know who I may have met in that spell is truly here.
Therefore I have chosen to make myself visible on this 'communication device' in an attempt to meet, or perhaps reacquaint myself with, those who reside here.
[The woman pauses, contemplating for a moment, clearly getting her thoughts in order.]
I would also like to know if there are those present who work with thread-crafts. Sewing, weaving, spinning, knitting, making clothes. In my presence here it is my hope that I can use my skills and experience to make more thread, yarn, and cloth from the glownies, and perhaps anything similar to cotton or flax if we are to find those. However it is a lot of work for a single person to do, and I wished to see if there are others who might have the skills to assist me, or who might wish to learn them.
And, might I say from experience, if nothing else I would be happy to teach everyone how to spin thread. It is truly quite relaxing once you have the practice at it. But also because I think it would be valuable for me to have a small spool of thread made by every person willing to do so, that might be used for locating spells if people were to wander off into the wilds and go missing. Or, failing that, to have people carry around a spool of finished thread for a few days to charge with your native energy for the same purpose.

A valuable skill indeed. I have known many people who needed another to repair their own clothing, not that there is shame in that.
no subject
On my world, I was often on my own. Didn't always have access to someone else to sew it. [Plus the whole creed thing.] It's been handy. But no, there's no shame in not knowing how.
no subject
I am glad you had someone to teach you. In my world there are many who feel that it is a task suitable only for women, and thus men and boys are not taught it. Which is good work for seamstresses and tailors, but still a sad state of affairs.

Settling back in all right?
Did I ever thank you for all the help back there? I don't think I did. You need anything? I happen to know an excellent place for scavenging furniture. Unfortunately I'm pretty sure there aren't any looms lying around there.
no subject
You did thank me. And if you know where furniture can be found, I would gladly join you in seeking it.
I have met a lovely young man named Shiro who thinks, with some work, he may be able to help me put together a loom.
no subject
[He grins.]
There's a big place where you can browse to your heart's content. -oh, you've met Shiro! Good guy. Glad someone knows his stuff.

My invitation to the Jedi - you know we've been calling it a Temple, but maybe Enclave is a better word? [Guess who's picked up random bits of a bigger vocabulary via reality and memory altering magic?] Anyway, invitation stands.
Spinning sounds like a nice chill thing to do. I'd be happy to learn.
no subject
[Which could easily be read as the Comms data point instilled some confidence in her.]
I would be glad to join your group to see what it is like. However you recent public invitation seemed to speak of displays of combat prowess. As an Earth Dedicate, it is not an area in which I have great interest.
But spinning I will gladly teach. I shall see if I can't make another drop spindle. They are simple enough if I have the right materials. Yes, working wood is not my talent, but I shall endeavor.
no subject
There's a...replicator. I don't actually know how it works. I think someone with the Engineering data point would be the person to ask. But I think it might be able to duplicate tools.

Uh. Well, I'm not sure what kind of weapons you know about already, so I'm figuring you at least know what a knife is. Imagine a really tiny knife that can be thrown at hundreds of miles an hour each time. A bullet is able to penetrate things until it loses momentum. Things like wood and some softer metals or muscle and bone.

My name is Moonshade, and I have some experience with how cloth is made--carding, spinning, weaving, sewing. I'd be glad to make you a spool of thread, and to help overall. My primary medium, however, is leather. I think if you and I work together, you with fiber and me with hides, we can help keep everyone here clothed.
[A pause.]
I wonder, if I work some of my wolf-friend's fur into the spool of thread I give you, would it help you locate him as well?
[There's another fumble, as she figures out how to end the recording--this offers a better view of her face and pointed ears as she squints at the device.]
no subject
I have no real skill with hides, but I am glad over the presence of someone who is good with it. I do know some of the materials for curing, I can try and help you find some.
[The woman is missing someone? Lark's heart goes out to her.]
If I can get a spool of new thread you would not even need to work their fur in. Merely carry around the spool and focusing thoughts upon whom I would seek. I can make a map, or attempt to.
I have a few small bits of prepared wool I could spin, or I can try and work with glownie wool. Unfortunately no carding boards seem to have come with me.
no subject
[As in, she's not missing the big old beast, thankfully.]
I'm curious about these 'glownies', and how fine a fabric can be made from their wool. Perhaps we can meet sometime to experiment with it? I'm glad there's another maker here so we can trade ideas with one another.

[ He grins in the camera, scratching at his beard. ]
Well, I can knit and sew, mend clothes, do a little embroidery too. Been helping tend to the glownies too. Be happy to help you out.
Been told by the women back home my fingers are too rough for spinning. They'll get caught on the wool.
no subject
Cobb, forgive me I didn't know you were real. I beg your apologies for my behavior in the confines of the spell. I had awoken in that place with no memory of the life I was supposed to have lived there. I was very afraid. It is my hope that you will forgive me for my behavior.
[But she takes the lien about the spinning with a nod. She's known this to happen before.]
What sort of thread did you use to embroider?
no subject
Uh, the thread that was around? Bantha thread mostly. Some synthetic stuff when we could get it but that was expensive.
