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.

[Current. This was her current wolf friend. Ah what a thing to hear. And almost unnerving. No magic she knew worked so deeply with animals.]

My hello to you Steadypaw. I warn you now, I did not give Little Bear food from the table, nor shall I for you.

[To be fair, Moonshade's...old. She's had many different wolf friends over the years.]

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.

[stitch_witch]

[Ah yes, fairness is important.]

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

[holtfinder]

True, very true. Once I get my hands on leather, I might make rawhide chews that people can give him without worrying about him getting used to cooked food from people's tables. Or I could see about making jerky from whatever animals we hunt, though I don't want him to end up with too much salt.

Plenty of things to start planning to do...hopefully there's time enough to do them all.

[stitch_witch]

What about smoked meats? That does not require nearly enough salt. Perhaps that might work?

[Time. Yes, there is much question over time. But Lark would plan anyway.]

[holtfinder]

Is there a smoking tent or cave or...area set up somewhere for that sort of activity already? If not, that will need to be seen to. Though I think we have the space for it, if we need to make someplace suitable.

[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.]

[stitch_witch]

If I am honest, I do not know if that is something that has been set up. I am, in a larger picture of the events here, new.

[holtfinder]

Something to ask about as we meet others. Still, do reach out if there's anything you need extra hands for, especially practical things. I'm definitely looking for ways I can help.

[stitch_witch]

I'm always happy to seek help for when it is needed. To ask is no weakness, but an understanding of oneself.
