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.

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.
no subject
[Lark didn't even know that was possible. Consider her shocked.]
I am not certain how well wolf fur will go into thread as I've never attempted it, but it would be a lovely experiment.
[Oh this woman definitely is high in Lark's esteem already.]
They are a strange hybrid of a pony and a sheep I think, but their wool glows while it is attached to them. And once I have enough of their wool spun to consider weaving, and I have a loom, I intend to see just how nice the fabric might be.
no subject
[Moonshade's finally gotten the camera pointed properly at her face, her dark eyes glittering under the fringe of her bangs.]
I'm glad to help you with gathering wool and weaving, but I've never made a loom. Do we have enough wood for the task, here?
no subject
[Lark tries not to comment when she gets a full view of the woman's face. Those ears are not something she was prepared for, but she's seen a woman with blue skin so this isn't much.]
There are nearby woods. Acquiring and seasoning wood would take time, but it is possible. And there are those who care for the glownies who will no doubt have been gathering SOME wool. But alas, no preparation of it. I shall have to create new carding tools.
no subject
A worthy endeavor and a good purpose to have, here. With luck, others will be able to help as well, at least with getting us set up.
no subject
That would be good luck and I expect if we lack luck, they will at least offer the kindness of attempting. There are steps we must take, and I shall endeavor to do so.
To not work with thread is almost like not turning a cartwheel from time to time. I just can't do it. So I'll find an answer.
no subject
[She pauses, a mild troubled expression on her face.]
I wish I understood why I was the only member of my tribe brought here.
no subject
If it renders you any comfort, as far as I can tell I am the only one of my world in this place. Yet I am here, and through me the Living Circle I am dedicated to. So long as I hold those I love within my heart, I cannot be sundered from them.

[There is a snuffling sound and then a grey snout with a black nose pops into frame, sniffing at the communication device curiously.]
no subject
It is always nice to speak of home.
[Oh dear, that sure is some sort of animal.]
Seems your traveling companion needs attention.

My hello to you Steadypaw. I warn you now, I did not give Little Bear food from the table, nor shall I for you.
no subject
Oh, I'm glad for that. I don't want him getting into a habit of eating cooked food. We'll be going out hunting regularly for fresh meat for him. And for me, for that matter.
no subject
It might be important to remind people of no table scraps rules. I find no matter the age, people are moved by the face of a begging animal
no subject
Plenty of things to start planning to do...hopefully there's time enough to do them all.
no subject
[Time. Yes, there is much question over time. But Lark would plan anyway.]
no subject
[Were Moonshade capable of writing, she'd be making a list by now, but for various reasons that's just not one of her skills.]
