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.

[Lark folds her hands before her, letting her long sleeves cover her hands.]

I am glad to follow where you might lead. I expect you shall not lead me to danger.

[deal_me_in]

Not unless you're looking for some excitement, of course.

[The Exo beams, turning to head back down and out of the hotel. At least the trip isn't too long a walk, especially if you simply cut right across towards the city's nearest edge.]

The big one on the right, see it? That's where we're headed. One on the left is fun to poke around too- has more things than furniture.

[stitch_witch]

I have found that random excitement is not the thing I often set out to do.

[She trails along after him, quite pleased for this little trip.]

More things such as what? I wonder if they had carders....

[deal_me_in]

No? Well, if it's random then you wouldn't know until it happens anyway. Oop, watch your step here- road's uneven.

[He's careful not to get too far ahead, pointing out the worst parts of the route they're taking, still overgrown in some parts, broken and strewn with uncleared rubble in others, although not too much.]

Not sure about carders. There's...some clothes I think? Knick-knacks, a lot of it is weird Agrii stuff so it's your best guess as to what they might be for. There's dishware and stuff too.

[stitch_witch]

[Oh yes, it is absolutely uneven there. Lark more hops over the the spot than steps over it. She's rather quick of foot, so it's easy for her, especially sans the heels.]

Clothes? If people have not been here in a while, how are clothes still surviving?

[deal_me_in]

Well, I didn't say they were in perfect condition.

[Cayde grins over his shoulder.]

I also suspect it might be due to whatever material they've used for it. Not that I'm an expert in that sort of thing.

[stitch_witch]

Well, I must definitely see these items, so that I can look them over.

[Perhaps she can learn something from them.]

[deal_me_in]

Probably the best way to do it. Oh, head's up? The Agrii have four arms and are pretty tall so their clothing is...interesting.

[It's not too long until they get to their destination. Cayde slips in, looking around before waving Lark onward, sweeping an arm out towards the first of many floors and their furniture treasures.]

So I guess the biggest problem is figuring where to start.

[stitch_witch]

Four arms sounds lovely!

[Think about how one could spin AND card at the same time! That would be amazing, wouldn't it? And the weaving... Oh Lark could see practical reasons to have four arms and delighted at the thought of it. Though when they arrive he stares in shock and delight there.]

A bed. By all means, a bed. And a chair.

[deal_me_in]

[Well if that isn't an unexpected response. Cayde looks at her with an amused grin. At least she'd get along with Eliksni.]

Bed! Oh, that'll be an easy one. Visit that section all the time- I can get there with my eyes closed!

[And then he goes tripping over something, although he manages to keep his feet under him, keeping up the momentum to bound ahead.]

-okay that didn't count, but anyway! It's over this way!

[stitch_witch]

[There were things here that Lark didn't know how to deal with. The opens were to be immobilized by the strangeness or to try and find her own peace with it in whatever way she can. And this was what she had decided.

He does make the comment and Lark chuckles behind her hand when he catches his balance.]

I think I would rather you decide not to close your eyes. That may not go well.

[deal_me_in]

Yeah, you're probably right. Some goof might've come in and rearranged things since the last time I came in.

[He still proves that he knows what he's talking about at least as indicated by the path he weaves his way through, sections of furniture grouped by whatever living arrangements the Agrii favored, and then further more specific groupings of them by type. Tables and chairs, which he promised they'd come back to, drawers and shelves.

And then the beds. The Exo spins on a heel once he reaches the edge of the beds on display, arms outstretched.]

Try not to get overwhelmed.

[stitch_witch]

[Yes, it was definitely a situation where it was rearranged, right? But Lark smiles to herself in amusement at what he says. But she did follow obediently and moving through things was shocking and pleasing. Such lovely furniture, even if it was a touch too large.

But when he says 'don't get overwhelmed' he doesn't know how accurate he is. Because she looks at it and is.]

There are... there are so many different ones!

[deal_me_in]

[Cayde laughs.]

I know, right?? Mind, some of them are dusty but I think between me and Echo we've managed to fix that problem here and there.

[He gestures for her to go ahead and have a closer look. Honestly he has no idea how people actually go about picking beds, but he's not sure if his idea of bouncing on them would fly.]

[stitch_witch]

[Dusty? He fixed that? Lark steps forward to a smaller, more basic bed. Well, small for the Agrii.]

Where I come from, furniture is hand made. This is... There is so much.

[deal_me_in]

[Jumping on beds does displace quite a bit of dust. It's a good thing he doesn't have to breathe.]

Oh, I completely understand. On both points, really. So we'll just have to narrow down things. Obviously you won't need a giant bed. -you planning on staying at the hotel for the long run?

[stitch_witch]

[Then don't jump so that one is being more polite.]

I do not know where else I might stay. And my bed need not be large, for it is merely for sleeping.

[deal_me_in]

Well, there's options. But no hurry or real need to move either. Hotel's convenient for location and all.

[He steps over beside another bed, setting his hands on it to squish down on the mattress. Does he really have any idea how to choose a bed? No, but then that's probably why he doesn't have any himself for the clocktower. Aside for the fact that the space isn't really meant for much bigger than a cot or a hammock.]

Never know though! Maybe you like rolling around in your sleep.

[stitch_witch]

Convenience has never been a thing I struggled to achieve. But I will welcome it.

[She chuckled at the rolling.]

I would have caused issues if I had.

[deal_me_in]

Sometimes convenience lands right in your lap like a warm kitten. In which case, best to enjoy it while it's there.

[He glances back at her, metal brow lifting as he grins crookedly.]

Oh yeah? You share sleeping space? Or you nap by cliffs too?

[stitch_witch]

[Nap by cliffs. Amusing.]

Yes. I have had a home with Rosie for years. She does have a separate room for when she needed space, but it was happy for us.

[deal_me_in]

[Fun fact; cliffs are not the most ideal place for naps.

Cayde nods, laughing then.]

Yeah, I can see how that would cause some issues.

[stitch_witch]

[Lark smiled and found another bed, smaller, to sit on. Yes, this was lovely.]

One should be considerate to those close to him. But I spent much time on the road. I am easily pleased by my sleeping accommodations.

[deal_me_in]

Oh, I can relate with that. I used to be out all over the place before I got saddled with Vanguard duty in the City. No beds out in the wilderness, no houses on the moon. You just made do.

[Turning, he looks at Lark's pick.]

We have a winner? Or you still browsing?

[stitch_witch]

Yes, this shall serve me. I do not have complicated tastes.

[And too many personal or complex items would make her feel uncomfortable. Her religious order was not very big on massive amounts of personal possessions to show one's wealth.]
